The Nintendo Character Manual From 1993 Is Not Canon

So something that is brought up here and there when people are trying to craft lore surrounding the Mario Canon is the Nintendo Character Manual from 1993. This manual is an invalid source of information for the Mario Lore because it is intended for Western Marketing purposes. But also it contains inaccurate information about the Mario characters.

So here are a few. So under Mario's profile and in his blurb it mentions Mario is from Brooklyn. So while this might have been an idea in development for Mario, it was never stated in games or manuals. At most this is what Mario is inspired by. But regardless by now it has been fully established this is not the case. It as adds in a about a squirt gun which doesn't exist anywhere else. Mario is also described to deal with bathrooms even though he is intended to be a construction plumber in game.

Next is Princess Peach who is description mentions the Mushroom King, which is not a canon.

Bowser's description says that Koopas hate and fear him, something that was never stated to begin with. Furthermore in future games it's been established Bowser's Minions adore him. His description also states he invaded the Mushroom Kingdom because "he can't stand the sight of happy fungi." This has never been stated elsewhere to my knowledge, and Bowser does what he does because he is trying to conquer different places.

Toad's description just adds in a bit which I don't recall seeing in nay official material, where is claims he was away during the Koopa War visiting relatives in the Fungus Federation.

Yoshi's description claims his name is T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas which is not a name found anywhere else. This is a common theme of the localization team adding details that were never in the original source material. Similarly Mario being called Homo Nintendonus is also an addition, and one that contradicts official sources. Nintendo has gone on record claiming Mario is a human, and they have never used the name from the manual. So while it is true anything that is a member of the Genus Homo is human, when most people like says Nintendo use the word human they are typically referring to Homo Sapiens.

Wario's description adds in information that seems to also be a result of the localization team. Saying he was jealous of Mario's plumbing skills and good looks, as well as claiming he wants a degree in Plumbing Science.

Smash Tier List, Ordered By Which Characters Have Canon Last Names

i decided one fateful friday evening to make this tier list cuz i was bored. shoutout to the smash prose server for helping me iron out any kinks and retrieve some obscure information to help make this tier list reach its fullest potential (discord link for the server on my blog if youre on desktop or in my pinned post on my art account always b pluggin)

below the cut is some extra details on the tiers and character placements.

THIS IS ROUGH AS HELL!!!!! and the research and sources aren't very cut and dry throughout ;w; a tier list i wanted to make for the sillies that ended up going deeper than expected but not all the way, so it's sorta in a weird gray area of reliability. apologies for not-so-clear info in advanced 😔

Official Surname

what it says on the tin. i'd put detailed explanations of where all of them were "confirmed" but i don't know the nitty gritty of a lot of the characters and just know em from official bios. will provide detail if i see fit cuz its my post.

Byleth: "Eisner"

Joker: Civilian name is "Ren Amamiya", from the anime. Akira Kurusu is another civilian name he goes by, coming from the manga, however Amamiya is more common in official media (and kind of canonized in the PC release of Persona 5 Royal, where changing the language to English from something else will default his name to Ren Amamiya)

Kazuya: "Mishima"

Samus (And Zero Suit Samus): "Aran"

Fox: "McCloud"

Falco: "Lombardi"

Wolf: "O'Donnell"

Terry: "Bogard"

Cloud: "Strife"

SImon and Richter: "Belmont"

Donkey and Diddy Kong: So we all pretty much agreed that "Kong" is a family name :P it could be moved to the yellow canon-ish tier but idk

Peach: "Toadstool", which she signs off as in Mario 64 (So that's pretty canon right)

Generally accepted fanon surname (or exists in obscure non-canon media)

these are kinda? surnames. theyre not official like the ones above or acknowledged in the main source material, but they draw from some sort of source that fans run with. usually, it's common for multiple fanworks to use them as last names when dishing them out :P there could be multiple of these for each character. this is where a lot of handy guidance from the prose server came in, thank you very much once again!!

Mario, Dr. Mario, and Luigi: "Mario", from the live action Super Mario Bros. movie (also, "Mario Mario" is the funniest shit ever to me). Also the joke of "hey if theyre the 'mario bros', then is their last name mario?!"

Yoshi: Alright apparently in the 1993 manual for Super Mario World, Yoshi's full name is "T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas". Alright then?? I was going to put Yoshi in the "species" category, but this bit surprised me :P not sure if it's like, a scientific name or something, but I guess this Yoshi is a special case.

Ganondorf: I think in a manual or something like that (Forgive my vague language, this was just something I recalled that the people I worked with agreed with), he is given the last name "Dragmire".

Marth, Chrom, and Lucina: "Lowell" was a last name given to Marth in the Fire Emblem anime. With Chrom and Lucina being direct descendants of him, they also inherit this last name.

Zelda: "Hyrule" is generally assumed to be her last name. I'm pretty sure Zelda's father in BotW is given the official last name, though I know there's some different reincarnation shenanigans going on. Still, no one stopped me 😎 it's a common theme for a lot of "royalty" characters to be assigned a fanon last name named after their respective kingdom (though I may have overlooked some, we'll get to those later).

Ike: "Greil", named after his father. I thought it was kinda dumb for his last name to be ripped from his dad's first name but idk maybe everyone is on a last-name basis for him (I haven't progressed far in Path of Radiance to know).

Sonic: This one surprised me. Apparently in the Archie comics, his full name "Ogolvie Maurice Hedgehog". So his last name is "Hedgehog"? I suppose this means Sonic's full name could also be Sonic The Hedgehog, with "The" being a middle name :P

Captain Falcon: I was going to include this in "canon", but given that it's technically from a manual and other surnames in this tier come from a similar source, so might as well be consistent. In one of the F-Zero manuals, he's given the name "Douglas J. Falcon" (baller ass name tbh). In the anime, he's also given the civilian name "Bart Lemming".

Sephiroth: According to the Prose pals, it could be "Hojo" or "Crescent" depending on who you ask (idk I'll take their word for it. Yeah sorry this isn't a very thorough list in terms of research and sources).

Ryu: Another Prose pal said that one of the movies gave him the last name "Hoshi".

Bowser and Bowser Jr.: Heard "Koopa" tossed around, given Bowser is the king of Koopas and Jr. is his son.

Mega Man: "Light", after his creator Dr. Light.

Roy: "Pherae", after him being the son of Marquess Pherae.

King K. Rool: I think I assumed "Rool" could be his last name, and the K. is an initialized first name. Heavily based on my own guess tho.

No Canon Surname

Yeah. Though some are Weird and probably misassigned.

Snake I could have sworn had some kind of fanon surname, but I drew up a blank when consulting with the Prose server :P any hardcore Metal Gear fans can swoop in and correct me though.

Corrin and Daisy are kinda... weird to me cuz I assumed they would operate on similar logic to Zelda, being named after their respective kingdoms ("Valla" and "Sarasaland"). But I've never seen those used in practice so it's probably negligible. They bounced between tiers a lot while I made this.

I suppose Dragon Quest 11 Hero could fall in the "kingdom last name" category but idk I'm still internally debating with Corrin and Daisy. Didn't do any research on the other Heroes and no one seemed to stop me. So sorry!! 😭

The only other thing I have to say about this tier is that I'm surprised Bayonetta, Shulk, Olimar, Alph, and Sora didn't have any note-worthy last names to speak of. Unless something slipped through the cracks!

Idk if Sheik would adopt Zelda's assumed last name which is why they are in this tier.

Title, no canon name

Pretty much a title given to the character, be it related to their occupation or status.

This was originally a "no canon first name lmao" tier, but I changed it to be more broad at the request of the Discord buddies to include weird edge cases like Dark Samus (who isn't really a species, but not really a person?) and Duck Hunt (who accounts for three separate entities in one lol so that kind of confused me, but a tier like this worked for him).

Species????

Pretty much a character that comes from a species of many, meaning they don't really have an actual name to begin with (Inklings technically count, since it's not like "Inkling" refers to status or occupation). Yes, I included R.O.B. there due to Subspace Emissary's lore :) one could argue that's not canon, but be fr does R.O.B. have any existing lore to work with? Brawl essentially made him its own OC for the story campaign and that's amazing. Anyway, unnecessary rant aside, R.O.B. is a species in my book, and he's the last of his kind (another detail originating from Smash).

Last two tiers are kind of joke tiers I came up with as the idea for this list cooked up in my brain. One could argue "Mr. Game and Watch" is a title, but I thought his own dedicated tier was funnier so I kept it intact :P

~~~

Thus concludes this dumbass tier list. Feel free to roast me in the notes for inaccuracies cuz there's probably a lot (Or don't I'm sensitive as hell)

Yoshi headcanons 1

Yoshi is non-binary and polysexual, he dates Birdo because she is a transgender girl.

Yoshi's name is actually T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas, Yoshiko was the one who gave him the nickname Yoshi when he was born.

Yoshi is a father figure to Mario and Luigi, despite them being best friends, the reason is that they were the first humans he saw in his life, so he takes care of them.

His favorite food is apple.

Yoshi is well known in the village, because in addition to saving the island, he met humans.

In the roleswap AU, Yoshi was a villain, but he is portrayed as cute.

Mario Super Sluggers: Theoretical Human AU!

DISCLAIMER: By Human AU, I mean that all the playable characters are human (which seems sort of obvious to me, but you never know)! As such, they live as long as your average human lives in a non-harmful environment.

With that noted, well... as Mario would say, “Let’s-A Go!”

Captains:

Mario & Luigi: Mid-late 20s, maybe early 30s. Old enough to have the mustaches, but young enough to seem young. They run their unfortunately deceased fathers’ plumbing business.

Peach & Daisy: 2-3 years younger than Mario and Luigi tops. Working to inherit their families’ crazy rich companies - the Toadstools run a produce business, the Sarasas sell gardening supplies.

Yoshi & Birdo: Yoshi is midway in their teenage years, about 14 to 16 years old. Birdo is a little older, but still a minor (16-17). Yoshi x Birdo. Each of their families run rival diners, and Mario is a family friend of the Munchakupas family (slightly edited last name of Yoshi).

Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong: Donkey Kong is a young adult (early-mid 20s). He takes care of his nephew Diddy (13-15), and makes money by helping his family in their businesses here and there. A former criminal who turned his life around after his old team killed his grandfather without him knowing, he occasionally helps the police in their fight against his old team - the Kremlings to atone. The fuzz don’t know he was one of them.

Wario, & Waluigi: Wario and Waluigi are a bit older than the Mario Brothers, but not by much. Late 20s to mid-30s. Salesmen and occasional thieves/robbers/et cetera when desperate.

Bowser & Bowser Junior: Leader of the closest thing Toadstool and Sarasa have to a rival company, the Darklin family run the leading business for meat and general grill-based items. Tensions are high between the three companies (well, just for the Darklin - Dr. Isaac “Dry” Darklin pales before the other two), and when the boss has enough of not being number one, he has his personal blackmailed bodyguard/hitman Bowser Koopa (mid 30s to early 40s) go to eliminate Peach & Daisy (that, or his preteen Junior gets it). Mario and Luigi, who were called to fix something (there was nobody else open and not rude), notice and step in. Although he gets away, they still are rewarded for more than the plumbing job. Word spreads of the “Super Mario Brothers,” and from there, things get better and worse for all parties involved.

Minor Characters (assume all multicolored characters are about the same age):

Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, & Baby DK : Nonexistent in this AU. Maybe flashbacks?

Toads: Workers at Toadstool and Sarasa. If you look around the hotel for all of them, you’ll usually see 5 of them at most.

Toadette: Toadette is Sarasa’s Head of Staff.

Toadsworth: Toadsworth is Toadstool’s Head of Staff, as well as Peach’s personal assistant and teacher.

Piantas and Nokis: Mario Brothers’ neighbors. Three brothers and three sisters

Dixie Kong, Funky Kong & Tiny Kong: Diddy Kong’s girlfriend. Dixie met Diddy when DK saved her and the other two from the Kremlings (though they lost not only family members Chunky & Kiddy but close ones such as Bluster and Lanky). Sharing the same last name is actually coincidental.

King K. Rool & Kritters: Leader and lower members of the Kremlings. K. Rool always butted heads with DK before K. Rool became leader. Responsible enough to put their differences beside them... for a while; then he tried to have DK offed. DK lived, of course.

Goomba, Koopas, Paratroopas, & Paragoomba: Used to work for Darklin in its dirtier deeds, but now freelance in crime as hired workers. Often seen working with the Wario Duo, these 6 have a weird dislike for the Kremlings (with the even weirder exception of Donkey Kong; they secretly make sure anyone after the Kongs or their close ones are dealt with). Paratroopas and Paragoomba often work as messengers and part-time at the post office for honest work.

Magikoopas: You might think they have a religious role, what with the robes and all. WRONG! They’re scientists for Darklin. Led by the one known as Kamek, they’re known as the Magikoopas because Bowser introduced them to Dry and their ability to accomplish crazy scientific feats. They aren’t actually part of the Koopa family, however; Bowser is merely longtime friends with Kamek, and rumors spread. Bowser still isn’t entirely sure if they actually know/use magic or not. Unlike Bowser, they willingly work with Darklin, as he provides means for their experiments, and that difference threatens to divide the old friends in the end.

Dry Bones, Blue, Green, and Dark Bones: Dry’s kids who were lost in an accident. The scientific skill isn’t the only reason Dry hired the Magikoopas... 

Boo & King Boo: The security team for Sarasa which Daisy occasionally lends to Toadstool, the Boos are brought in after Bowser’s attack. When on break, they like to pull harmless and wisely-targeted pranks on Luigi while he’s there.

Petey Piranha & Wiggler: Old friends of King Boo called in as extra support. Petey and Wiggler is Daisy’s tutor in gardening business; think younger but bigger and far more intimidating Toadsworths for Daisy.

Shy Guys: A gang. They’re seen redeemed and working for the Sarasas at the end.

Monty Mole & Blooper: Thieves who follow the same path as the Shy Guys for Toadstool.

Weapon Brothers (Hammer/Fire/Boomerang Bro): Construction workers called in after Bowser’s attack. Paid off to keep quiet about him before a later attempt.

What do you guys think? I worked hard on this, so I hope you like it!

Valete,

TheBigPapilio
