King Koopa -> Bowser... Dr. Robotnik -> Dr. Eggman... Why?
Apr 10, 2011 · Bowser was "Bowser, King of the Koopas" in the first SMB game, but they occasionally called him "King Koopa." He's still called "Koopa" in Japan. Eggman was always called Eggman in Japan, because Sega of Japan were stupid and couldn't come up with a good name to save their lives.
Where did 'Bowser's' name come from? - NeoGAF
Mar 18, 2015 · Nope, it's in the original Super Mario Bros. manual. The story uses Koopa, but the enemy page uses Bowser, King of the Koopa. It wasn't used in the game, though. The original manual interest me, because of this line: "One day, the Koopa, a tribe of large turtles capable of using powerful magic, invaded the peaceful kingdom of the Mushroom People."

why did nintendo stop using the kooplings? | NeoGAF
Oct 16, 2007 · I do wonder why Super Mario World described it as if the Koopa Kids died. I'd say that the post-boss text in Mario is the most explicit reference to death in the entire Mario series outside of the RPGs.

What Mario games had the best/worst final boss? - NeoGAF
Feb 11, 2017 · Yeah, seriously, lol. That's easily the best in the series. It even inspires awesome ROM hacks... Mario 2 (US) is probably my second favorite, because not just the awesome Wart battle, but the stuff leading to the battle, for example, the boss music playing in the whole final area and the moment when you fight the head, was amazing build-up to the final battle.

Late to the Suck: Mario and Luigi Partners in time. | NeoGAF
Dec 5, 2006 · Here's a question in a half, how the hell do you even finish superstar saga? I've been at the final boss for as long as the game has been out basically and it seems there's just no way to win, when the final form starts off and you have 1 hp each it does an attack that kills both mario and luigi unless you have superhuman dodging skills.
Quick: Drag Me To Hell...unrated or theatrical? - NeoGAF
Jan 30, 2010 · I rather say the theatrical, the unrated version is a barely noticeable time difference and the editing worked better as it came off funnier in the theatrical edition of a particular scene.
