The year is 1982. Ralph M. Freeman, District Judge of the Southern Division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, is tasked with attempting to describe "Donkey Kong". The result is delightfully archaic.

In both versions of Super Mario RPG, Mario receives rewards for staying at the luxury Marrymore Hotel suite, but the rewards seemingly stop after 15 stays. However, there is one final hidden reward, given out after staying an absurd *200 nights* at the suite: 20 Frog Coins.

Transcript of a page from the sattelaview blog with the following text:

"This episode is a rerun for interview reasons-
-Summary of previous episode-
Mario & Toad killed the woman’s lover. They tried to escape, but the search is progressing.
-Toad : Oyakata ! it’s over, we should give up.
-Mario : Huh ?!
-Mario : Idiot ! if we give up it’s the end of our lives !
-Toad : But I can’t do it anymore ! Even when I sleep, I remember that scene.
-Toad (who seems to have an erection) : Ah ! Toad-san don’t do that… That’s so embarrassing ! Here ! You’re in the habit of doing things like this ! hehehe! Ah, no, stop it… Ah, ah….
(Mario punches Toad again…)
-Toad : Acchonburike !
-Mario : What kind of people is this idiot !!!
-Mario : Besides… in fact, it was you who killed him, I didn’t know about it.
-Toad : That’s it !
-Mario : Oh my God ! I’m going to do something else than hiding. Don’t be afraid.
(Mario & Toad are fighting)
-Toad : That’s not true ! You old dumbass !!!
-Mario : What ?! YOU’RE the murderer !!!
(Someone knocked the door)
-Mario & Toad : Huh ?!
(It’s Bowser who finally found them !)
-Toad : Acchonburike !
-Bowser : It’s the police ! Follow me !
(To be continued…)"

While doing some unrelated research into Mario Party 2, I stumbled across a Spaceworld '99 report on the official Nintendo website featuring an early Mario Party 2 logo seemingly undocumented anywhere else (including @mariowiki.com).
Is anyone else aware of this?

In a 2025 interview, DiC writer Phil Harnage explained the genesis of everyone's favourite caveman ratfuck, Oogtar

Screencap of an interview from the website "Tales from the Collection". The text goes as follow:

"The Genesis of Oogtar and Unintended Success
Super Mario World introduced new characters to the animated canon, one of the most memorable—and for some, infamous—being the caveboy Oogtar. Phil readily takes credit for the name:

“And I noticed you asked a question about Oogtar, which is interesting cause he seems to be universally hated… Well, I came up with a name. I’m happy to admit.”

The character’s creation, however, stemmed from a directive from DiC president Andy Heyward. The idea was to create a mischievous foil for Yoshi, pushing the gentle dinosaur into comical predicaments. Phil elaborated on the rationale behind Oogtar:

“Andy felt okay, we got this great character, Yoshi’s like this little kid, and Mario and Luigi have to take care of him and blah. But he felt we couldn’t make Yoshi ever do anything too bad… he thought that would be great fun if he had a little buddy who is always pushing the envelope and getting Yoshi into big trouble… So Oogtar was always gonna be the bad guy no matter what… and that was the idea to begin with.”

While Oogtar might have been designed to be an obnoxious character, Phil mused that the writers might have “took it a little too far, making him too obnoxious.” Yet, he offered a humorous perspective on characters who elicit strong negative reactions: “You know that you’ve done a successful show, if somebody in that show, or one character is hated by everybody. That’s a success.”"

In the Japanese script of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Zip Toad (or Tron as he is named in it) is written as parody of the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam character Quattro Bajeena

Screencap of a machine-translated Japanese mario wiki, stating "Some of the lines in the email sent by the real Tron are parodies of Quattro Bajeena (the temporary name used by Char Aznable in the series) from Mobile Suit Z Gundam. "So this is youth," and "A warrior must fight as long as he lives" are lines he actually uttered in the series."
