So, where does the picture come from? Now I know this one is off. A similar picture is right there in my manual, but the key difference is the coloring, position, the Albatoss' head and body, and the fact that the Bob-omb has an entirely different design from any artwork. This is incredibly iffy. Is it from Advance? It looks somewhat new. If so, why would they go out of their way to FURTHER themselves from the sprites? This looks like fan-art.

It is from this art gallery at Gamekult, it is promotional artwork for Super Mario Advance. Indeed, the newer artwork pieces notably differ from the original ones in the NES manual (e.g. Ostro was once black and looked more like an ostrich). --Grandy02 12:46, 28 August 2009 (EDT)
Ah, I see. So it's Advance artwork. That's very strange since the Bob-omb looks off on all accounts, but then again, I'm not Nintendo. I can see why they'd want to update some of the designs like Shy Guys' weird symbol and I guess Ostra and Porcupo. Did they still not update Phanto, though? Twenty years later, and he hasn't had non-DDP artwork... LinkTheLefty 11:39, 20 September 2009 (EDT)

Romanian name[edit]

Where does the Romanian name come from? I would assume it would be from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, as I don't recall any Super Mario games being dubbed in Romanian, but I can't find any information for a Romanian dub of the show. Apikachu68 (talk) 04:20, February 4, 2025 (EST)

Ask Koopa con Carne (talk). He's the expert on the Romanian names around here. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:41, February 5, 2025 (EST)
Apparently, I added it way back in 2012. Pretty sure my only source was my pubescent imagination and misunderstanding of what the NIOL table is about, as I similarly made up Romanian names for a few Virtual Boy Wario Land enemies around that time. Romanian Albatoss is simply this wiki's counterpart to the Brazilian Aardvark. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 02:24, February 5, 2025 (EST)~

Shouldn't the Evil Eagle boss from The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening be mentioned here in some capacity? Blinker (talk) 13:43, February 5, 2025 (EST)
