Specifically in [[Saturday Supercade]]. We already know she was intended to have an undefined relation to the hero in the original arcades, was called Mario's girlfriend in some early home ports of ''Donkey Kong'', then eventually considered a close friend in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series. Looking around, one can see a ton of claims that she was actually supposed to be Mario's niece (Luigi's implied daughter) in that cartoon, but the problem is that none of those sources seem to be particularly reliable. Still, it certainly comes up often enough that I think it ought to be addressed. There's not too much information that I can find on the original cartoon (probably due to licensing issues preventing rebroadcast and such), but there must be a reason this idea was so widespread... That reason may be gossip or assumption coupled with general lack of knowledge about it, but for all we know it could have indeed been mentioned in some obscure commercial or segment.

Speculation

I don't think speculations are allowed. Are they? User:Kirby kart

No, but I think these are the more-substantiated (not crap from 4chan, GameFAQs, or circulated "leaks") speculations that are debunked, so we're not actually speculating. Either way, it's a new page, and there are several questions regarding what content should be placed here, although there isn't a definite answer yet. Mario It's me, Mario!

Shigeru Miyamoto

"Shigeru Miyamoto himself has asserted multiple times that he used the word "donkey" to convey stubbornness. "

Before anyone calls me out and slaps {{refneeded}} after this statement, the original source, "Miyamoto Shrine: Shigeru Miyamoto's Home on the Web" is unavailable, so I can't quite source the statement. If there's any archive or something like that to substantiate the claim, please add it. Mario It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 17:16, 10 August 2014 (EDT)

Sould these do?

I remember of people believing in two things:

  • Waluigi in SM64DS
  • Mii Outfit C in MKWii

Should these appear? YoshiCGicon.pngTSUNAMIArtwork of Plessie with the four playable characters, from Super Mario 3D World.

Not OK

Suicide is not appropriate for 7 years old children... I don't know how to change it though. YoshiCGicon.pngTSUNAMIArtwork of Plessie with the four playable characters, from Super Mario 3D World.

I'm sorry? Suicide is a topic that is seen sometimes in several children's TV cartoons. Besides, we're the same wiki that doesn't censor swear words in articles. We're not going to remove suicide implications because it's "inappropriate" for children. It's not like we're advocating it either. BabyLuigiFire.pngRay Trace(T|C) 14:28, 16 August 2014 (EDT)

Something I believe needs proper sleuthing - Pauline's relation to Mario.

Specifically in Saturday Supercade. We already know she was intended to have an undefined relation to the hero in the original arcades, was called Mario's girlfriend in some early home ports of Donkey Kong, then eventually considered a close friend in the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series. Looking around, one can see a ton of claims that she was actually supposed to be Mario's niece (Luigi's implied daughter) in that cartoon, but the problem is that none of those sources seem to be particularly reliable. Still, it certainly comes up often enough that I think it ought to be addressed. There's not too much information that I can find on the original cartoon (probably due to licensing issues preventing rebroadcast and such), but there must be a reason this idea was so widespread... That reason may be gossip or assumption coupled with general lack of knowledge about it, but for all we know it could have indeed been mentioned in some obscure commercial or segment.
