okakoro playes new super mario bros U

@@emmiannon1266 SMOK or OKBR/BLOK? Or with Dad and Kusotori?

lucky you! they're going to have mario party collab!

@@muhammadalifazmi8037 yeah I just now got up and saw my notifications. Talk about calling it.

Korone also learned the English names of certain Pokémon.

She think the letter y is pronounced yu. So Shyu Gai. But then they also know the word shy. Though maybe never seen it in romaji.

@@ceresbane To be fair, with that font, the Y kinda looks like a U.

@@ceresbane rather than shyu gai i think she will pronounce it suhai gai...

Whatahell, they stole Anomaly profile pic for Mario game?

@@ceresbane for fryguy, she read y as an -aii sound. so yeah, probably something like シャイーガイ?

GO FOR BREAK OUT

"Mb" is already a weird consonant combo in English. Like, most pronunciation guides to English words with "mb" leave the B silent, but many native speakers lightly pronounce it anyway. And "bomb" can be rendered in Japanese pronunciation as either "bomu" or "bon", which makes "bonba_" for "bomber" seem out of nowhere.

@@CarbonRollerCaco That's true. That's probably why I didn't pick up on the meaning the first time I read it - in English there'd be no second "b".

jp girls pronouncing english is always so cute i feel like diabetes right now.

@@CarbonRollerCaco Actually, "mb" is perfectly fine in Japanese. When you have words with "nb" in Japanese, for example "konbini", it's actually pronounced "kombini" (although many Japanese don't think about it, but within linguistics it's well-known).

I swear her mouth going :o (like at 0:07) is one of the cutest things ever

@@badwulff That was good, but 0:15 is even better.

There’s also Pekora reading the Minecraft credits and realizing Sebastian is actually a real name and not just something some butlers in fiction are called

Let's face it: some of the JP names for Gen 1 Pokés are pretty sad. Some are just straight names of preexisting animals/plants/other ideas (Hitokage, Lizard, Zenigame, Cocoon, Spear, Pigeon, Sand, Pixie, Rafflesia, Gallop, Ghost), the fire dogs and the Eeveelutions are child's pet names (Guardy, Windy, Showers, Thunders, Booster), the legendary birds are equally lamely named (Freezer, Thunder (ARE YOU SERIOUS GAME FREAK TWO SEPARATE POKÉMON NAMED THUNDERS AND THUNDER TWO PLAIN WORDS WITH LITERALLY A DIFFERENCE OF ONLY ONE LETTER), Fire), Urigeller got mangled into Yungeller because of a handwritten katakana misread (ri=リ, n=ン) even before the RL Uri Geller got his knickers in a knot over the Pokémon-eeyurgh.

Certain manuals of the NES version switched them, too. -And the way that Birdo was described made her transgendered to avoid controversy with players being encouraged to beat up females due to trans people being seen as mere confused loonies back then-even though Cheep Cheep was already called female in the SMB1 manual and SMB3 would have an undeniedly female enemy in the form of Wendy O. Koopa (who incidentally is one of the harder Koopalings to beat in that game).- EDIT: Whoops; turns out Catherine/Birdo was always a hermaphroditic female (though originally described as a male thinking himself to be female even though she spits eggs) even in Japan. No wonder Yoshi's into her (I'm assuming the "main" Yoshi that's friends with Mario is supposed to be male considering how he dresses on the rare official occasions that he _is_ clothed). Guess it really was just Capcom USA that had issues with beating up women (Final Fight 1). Welcome to the 1980s.

First you had to prove that you actually beat the game lol

@@CarbonRollerCaco Wait, Yoshi's appeared clothed? And you mean besides the shoes and saddle, right?

@@Arkainjel Some manuals had the same mistake.

Fan consensus on Birdo is that he's a transvestite.

Hehe Kinopio is a cute name.

it's because j in english sounds like dg in other more phonetic languages

I didn't know Pikmin had different names :^)

Ooh yes please! Jiguripufu

And Snifit.

It's hard to say for sure. The manual emphasizes that only Mario had the initial dream, and the ending makes it clear that he was _still_ dreaming even after waking up in the beginning, though it doesn't say whether his friends shared the overall dream, so it's certainly possible that Subcon's supposed to be a real place within Mario's world in some way, possibly only accessible from the outside via forces of some sort invading dreamers' minds. Plus, some Doki Doki/SMB2USA characters already existed outside of Subcon, namely the Shy Guys and Pokeys, since Yoshi's Island is the canonical start of Mario's adventures. Though YI Pokeys look different from SMB2USA Pokeys who would end up later known to exist outside of Subcon along with Bob-Omb, Birdo and the vegetables, so if Subcon was a mere fiction within Mario's world, he would've either have dreamt of those characters from encountering them as Baby Mario alongside his older self in games like some of the Mario sports games and M&L: Partners in Time or through getting premonitions of them, the latter of which not being too far out of the question since YI establishes Mario and Luigi have a psychic bond that allows one to know where the other is. And let's not dive into the whole mess with Link's Awakening. Either way, the name "Subcon" makes sense as it's short for "subconscious". And the appearance of Bob-Ombs in SMB3 suggests that Doki Doki may have been initially made as an early SMB2 or SMB3 before SMB2JPN ended up being a harder version of SMB1 with new levels and elements plus occasional reuse of certain obstacle setups prevoously exclusive to the arcade SMB1. So maybe SMB2USA is the real SMB2 and the real SMB1 is a hybrid of both SMB1 games and SMB2JP. Early Mario be a very warped zone.

Us Mario fans are trying desperately to uncover the lore of the series. Meanwhile Miyamoto-san: “Lore, huh? I wonder what that means.” I mean, seriously. There was no Zelda timeline either, until we brute-forced one into existence.

@@cameronspencer9619 It is so easy to make a non-confusing Zelda timeline- Zelda 1 & 2 are for the NES, LttP is for the SNES, Ocarina and MM are for the N64, etc. That’s literally all there is to it lol

The Satellaview "sequel" shows that they indeed went to a "dream world", as opposed to the events entirely being fabricated by their minds. Of course, that's the Satellaview, so...kinda speaks for itself how not-obvious that is.

Don't know if someone remembers but... The world is literally called the World of Dreams

So did half the manuals for the original NES SMB2USA. I'm guessing they were for different versions and Collection/All-Stars only converted the wrong one. Or, rather, simply near-straight copied the wrong one since the NES and SNES main processors use the same instruction architecture.

Definitely! Wild to think that was a year ago now!

@@JShayTranslations time flies, especially when we're having fun. Thanks for a whole year's worth of translations!

I mean in the manual it says all of them had that same dream so you are probably right.

The manual I read said they all had a dream about Subcon, and then the next day they found the land was real, and that’s the point where the game actually kicks off. And then I just interpret the ending as Mario dreaming about the adventure after a long day

It doesn't help that it's named Subcon, as in "subconscious".

Birds and ostro have their names switched

I heard Oslo is quite popular in Norway. (Sorry, had to say it) (Not sorry)

Funny thing is, I think they got it right in the manual. If I remember correctly.

However, Wart keeps the name Mamu in his cameo in Link's Awakening. Also, SM2/USA was released when Peach was still being called Princess Toadstool in the US.

Fururyu... so cute

*Chotto a minute

My memory's hazy on this, but there may have been different NES versions.

She will always be Princess Toadstool to me. Princess Peach is an imposter.

@@jonp1952 She's been Peach since SMB1 in Japan.
