Fun fact, the Albatrosses are missing a frame or two in the US animation. It's another one of the NUMEROUS overlooked, small things that "fix" NES games to run properly as intended. *cough* Star Tropics music *cough*
I believe the Birdo Ostro thing is more likely an error than a retcon..I base this on the fact that the enemy called Birdo unquestionably looks like an ostrich which is clearly what the name Ostro was based on. An error of this nature isn’t that unlikely since we know they also used the wrong Phanto image.
1:24:10 Actually there is a youtuber named 2CPhoenix that managed to translate the symbols into English letters and dubbed the symbols as "Dolphic". I know this is a compilation of older videos and this was discovered after the original video released, but I wanted to let others know!
As both a refresher and a video I may or may not have put on to fall asleep to, I'm really digging how soon after the Snake Eater video this was uploaded. Honestly, it's kind of wild to think about how quickly the years pass by. I've always loved Region Break and of course I'll mention Sequence Break whenever I can for the novelty of that show. And more of these compilations will certainly be watched by me, I'll tell you that much. Getting my binge of Shesez is as natural as breakfast for me, now, just a super solid mood lifter if I'm ever needing to chill.
I remember somewhere back around 2009, when people really started spreading the word about Mario 2 and Doki Doki Panic, a lot of people were saying things like "Mario 2 sucks because it's not even Mario...". It annoyed me because that made no sense, i mean, to say the game itself is no good, just because of that one detail? Wasn't a big deal. Still a fun game, there was no reason we couldn't appreciate it for what it was. I always liked the game either way.
@@derealized797even better they’re sort of wrong because nintendos original idea for mario lost levels was a more vertical platformer which eventually turned into doki doki presumedly
@@nic.taylor3733 That's why I like to see things for myself, make my own decision. I can't even count how many games were considered to just be bad, until many years later, someone took a closer, unbiased look at it, and then after sharing the overlooked details about it... suddenly it's a great game. A hidden gem. It's weird how that works. Even like with movies, sometimes they flop at release, and then 20+ years later everyone loves it. People are too quick to judge sometimes.
You know, when it comes to Ostro and Birdo, I can't help but think that they might have mixed up the names accidentally. The creature labeled "Birdo" in the manual looks like an Ostrich, so Ostro makes more sense
"BOM" is an onomatopoeia, it's not supposed to be "BOMB" but instead closer to "BOOM". It would be pronounced like the english word "bone" but with an M instead of an N.
A really interesting thing about Mario Bros 2, is when they changed up all the animations, they actually added a glitch by accident. Every single thing that animates like that is missing a single frame. It's most visible with the Albatoss enemies, since the missing frame is the wing going back up: it gives them that really jumpy thing where the wings slowly flap down and then snap back up, instead of having a frame between. You can also see it on the POW block and falling sand really well, since you'll see a distinct "jump" where the letters or the falling dots appear to move farther because of the missed frame.
55:10 = In Japanese, there was no mistake in it. It is a literal translation of how you spell Koopa in Japanese. Japanese name of Koopa spelled in Katakana is クッパ , which if we translate it, the spelling is Kuppa. Japanese wordings and letterings does not follow correct spelling, they follow correct pronunciation. So if you spell Koopa using the O instead of U in Japanese, it will just be Koppa コッパ . And even if you tried to add another O in it just to correct the spelling, it will still sound Kopa but with longer O sound, コオパ
1:03:05 It looks like there just enough sprites on the screen that the powerup being spawned forced the block sprite to unload, and since the block is responsible for drawing the empty block object afterwards, it ended up leaving the spot blank. I don't think I've ever seen that happen before, so that's pretty neat!
I didn't know that Luigi was resprited from Green Mario for All-Stars! Also never knew about his unique end pose. Thank you for including those facts in the video, love the series !!
27:42 Please for the love of god, if you're showing off a musical or sound effect difference, other then the jumping sound effect, don't constantly jump over what your showing off. While not a huge interference with what you were pointing out here, it is somehow way more obnoxious then if you constantly jumped during regular gameplay.
I grew up with a PlayChoice10 & still have it. Super Mario 2 was one of the 10 games & I still absolutly have favourable nostalgia for Super Mario 2. Great video break down & show case of Mario games.
The thing about Clawgrip, they took out the third Mouser battle, because they wanted to break up the repetiton of 3 Mouser battles and keep the bosses feeling fresh. When they tried to find a replacement, they looked for something in the Mario games, but there were so few in the Mario canon at the time, but they figured that the use of the sidestepper made perfect sense. In fact the GBA port has him as a sidestepper before turning into Clawgrip
I dunno if someone answered this already but the reason for the difference in the vegetable in the wart/mamu fight is that, the vgeetable spat from the dream machine in doki doki, is a daikon radish, a coomon staple veggie used in stews and more commonly, on miso soups. From what i underatand, daikon radish doesnt grow in america so the localizer thought that the next best thing is a turnip, a seasonal veggie that we here in the pbilippines also grows for consumption in raw, being paired with salt or fish paste, a very nice and cooling snack for anyone. So its just the matter of availability and knowledge base of its localization.
The game ending differences between the NES-NTSC and NES-PAL versions are actually quite interesting for SMB3. I know outside the scope of this video but it's rare to see a difference between US and PAL versions that big.
So Yoshi is a dragon in Japan. It should be noted that he is a "doragon" (a Japanification of the English word "dragon") instead of a "Ryuu" (the normal Japanese word for dragon). European style dragons are called "doragon" while Chinese style dragons are called "ryuu."
cool to have a full compilation of this stuff! it's a bit unfortunate that birdetta gets treated the way she does in SMB2 and other games and personally would have maybe had a warning for that sort of stuff but it's a product of it's time. it's always cool to hear about the history of a lot of these games and the regional differences though, super mario RPG is so interesting to look at from a translation point of view with how rough it is translation wise, so many item descriptions tend to just be wrong in that game LOL
Would be cool if you added a link to the channel of the people you talk about here. You talked about a channel called "sky" that's about translating, but trying to find a channel called sky on youtube is a tough job. If you are going to give shoutouts to people who help you, add their channel page to the description.
I never realized they recast a lot of voices on Mario Kart 64. The original Japanese voices were reused in Super Circuit and I always wondered why they sounded so different.
Just for information, one of the name at the end of the japanes manual of Mario Kart 64, Julien Bardakof, he is the french translator for almost all the game of the N64 and gameboy era of Nintendo (he is famous in France for being one of the main translator for Pokémon in french and one of the translator of Ocarina of time).
With the B'tub ring it was an abbreviation of "bathtub ring", a reference to the ring of scum that forms around a bathtub when draining it due to the soap and oils from bathing products floating on the water surface. This was likely playing off the way that Peach's equipment is based around domestic items, and the abbreviation (in addition to space reasons) also was a loose pun off shorthand spellings of "betrothed" resembling shorthand for "bathed".
Great video, really enjoy these series! This might be a stretch but I think one of the reasons they may have changed 'the big face' was because it looks a bit like antiquated black (African American) stereotypes. Similarly why they changed Jinx and Mr. Popo in their relevant shows.
Fun fact : in Japanese MK64 and the two first Mario Party games, Luigi is voiced by Julien Bardakoff, the French guy who translated Pokemon names (in France) of the two first generations !
for the part where you want us to hear the music difference, why are you jumping around? defeats the purpose of wanting us to hear it if we hear the jumping sound repeatedly.
My guess is that for copyright reasons you are not allowed to play just the music, but now it is gameplay footage, and that is allowed? Not really into that sort of stuff but that would be my guess.
It's not JPN--ENG, but could you please cover the localisation differences between Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on GameCube, and the Switch remake? There's a ton there to cover; far more than most people would expect - and the 'modernised' Switch script gives the game a noticeably different feel, in my opinion. Super Mario Wiki has a long list of these changes, on the PM:TTYD Remake page, if you want an overview.
@50:50 I actually did notice that as a kid playing this... @54:50 Again, only in the GBA release did they use the original game text for the princess's dialogue... @55:15 And the GBA version referred to the world as simply "Bowser's Castle." @1:18:20 Interestingly, you can eat the Dolphins in the GBA version... @1:33:10 The Japanese version's voices would be used for Mario Kart: Super Circuit and the first two Mario Party games... Quite frankly, I really wish they'd stayed with Toad's MK64 US voice...
It's worth noting that the Albatoss in SMB2 skips its final frame of animation due to a programming glitch that messes with multiple other animations. So technically the Albatoss's animation is supposed to be even smoother than what we see in-game.
when riding the bees I noticed that you go back and forth so you don't fall, but you don't have to do that.. you can just keep pressing forward and you won't fall... you get stuck in the front of the head of the bee. So there is no need to manouver.
The Bowser art in the Mario 3 manual being different in US, this is the same Bowser art used in Japanese Mario World manual, which leads me to believe they had already updated the Bowser art for Mario World by the time Mario 3 was being released in the US.
In the Mario Kart 64 section: I preferred Luigi and Toad's Japan voice, but I'm still happy with US Peach. And while Wario's US voice became far more iconic in Smash Bros and such, I still think I like the Japan version better. lol
@10:40 In some versions of the SMB2 manual, it is also said that Birdo would rather be called "Birdetta"... And yeah, it wouldn't be until the Super Mario Advance release that Birdo and Ostro would be correctly labeled...
Interesting... Ninji had fanged teeth, which I correctly assumed since I was a kid... before Nintendo decided to change them into buttons for whatever reason in modern games And I'm presuming the literal translation for Mamu would be "demon nothingness", or perhaps something more akin to "bad dreams"
Can you do an out of bounds for gravity rush if possible, this game has many structures that cannot be explored because the game has limitations that shows you that you flew too high or fallen too far so it will teleport you to a safe landing place
I am fairly certain the description for Birdo/Catherine is not saying she likes to be called "Kissy", but "Cathy". The translator may have misread キャシー as キッシー. I know some versions of the English manual say "She'd rather be called Birdetta", which implies more of a different name to acknowledge her gender rather than just a nickname. Also, that bit is of note because there is a false rumor that the localization was what introduced Birdo being a "guy who thinks he is a girl", when that was present in the original Japanese version as well.
Can we get a boundary break for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe? There's so many things that some people can even see because everyone is racing... And Baby Park has a lot of things.
The Birdo/Ostro thing is just an instance of them accidentally mixing the names up in the manual. I think the names are correct in the end credits IIRC?
I think it’s more just in reference to real falcons and small birds of prey, a few of them have an outline around the eyes, some thicker than others, it’s actually the inspiration behind ancient Egyptian’s makeup style, they loved the birds so much and had them as deities, that they used to wear a type of eyeliner in reference to the birds EDIT : Malar Stripes are what they’re called, Cheetahs also have them!
These videos are always so cool to watch. Thanks for making these!
My pleasure!
Fun fact, the Albatrosses are missing a frame or two in the US animation. It's another one of the NUMEROUS overlooked, small things that "fix" NES games to run properly as intended. *cough* Star Tropics music *cough*
Maybe the frames were drawn and then left out because they thought it was too slow.
I believe the Birdo Ostro thing is more likely an error than a retcon..I base this on the fact that the enemy called Birdo unquestionably looks like an ostrich which is clearly what the name Ostro was based on. An error of this nature isn’t that unlikely since we know they also used the wrong Phanto image.

Yep. It's a substitution cipher of Latin characters. Most of the encoded text is mundane labels for places.
As both a refresher and a video I may or may not have put on to fall asleep to, I'm really digging how soon after the Snake Eater video this was uploaded.
Honestly, it's kind of wild to think about how quickly the years pass by. I've always loved Region Break and of course I'll mention Sequence Break whenever I can for the novelty of that show. And more of these compilations will certainly be watched by me, I'll tell you that much.

Mario 3 is a completely different game, literally the only way to play that is the Japanese nes release.

Yoshihiro Nomoto = Yoshi the Dinosaur, or Space Dragon if you're from the galaxies.

SMB2 also has a sound effect when you die but its muted out by the death jingle.
Thank you!!!

The wter in doki doki panic probably ironically caused a lot of panic.
It's worth noting that the Albatoss in SMB2 skips its final frame of animation due to a programming glitch that messes with multiple other animations. So technically the Albatoss's animation is supposed to be even smoother than what we see in-game.

Man, the story in the manual for Mario 2 was so terribly written it was hilarious! I love how much Nintendo have improved with that over the years.
I wonder if Dry Bones originally being named 'Karon' was a reference to Charon/Kharon, the greek ferryman of the dead?
Interesting... Ninji had fanged teeth, which I correctly assumed since I was a kid... before Nintendo decided to change them into buttons for whatever reason in modern games
And I'm presuming the literal translation for Mamu would be "demon nothingness", or perhaps something more akin to "bad dreams"
Can you do an out of bounds for gravity rush if possible, this game has many structures that cannot be explored because the game has limitations that shows you that you flew too high or fallen too far so it will teleport you to a safe landing place
1:21:49 whoa, is that the same sound as the deku bubble from majoras mask?
Odd i swear i remember that airship drawing in the official players guide that came free with my nes which came with the game
The Luigi model change was news to me.
The albatross animation is broken in the USA version. Instead of 7 frames, there should be 8. Because of this, it's quite jerky when it repeats.
I am fairly certain the description for Birdo/Catherine is not saying she likes to be called "Kissy", but "Cathy". The translator may have misread キャシー as キッシー. I know some versions of the English manual say "She'd rather be called Birdetta", which implies more of a different name to acknowledge her gender rather than just a nickname.

I had no idea what Doki Doki Panic was, or that it existed! Even if it is common knowledge for some, thank you for still explaining.
means a lot to hear this!
the Mario Kart 64 voices are.... really something else.
Wow I had no idea that the Japanese Mariokart 64 used the Mario Party 1-3 voices for Luigi, Wario, and Toad.
I don’t find the phanto more creepy in Japan, it’s slower and less of a nightmare. It also looks less nightmarish.

Actually, the names were mixed up in the end credits as well, and it wouldn't be corrected until the Game Boy Advance remake...
The bird mask in super mario bros 2 kinda looks like falco lombardi, down to the red outlines around the eyes
I think it’s more just in reference to real falcons and small birds of prey, a few of them have an outline around the eyes, some thicker than others, it’s actually the inspiration behind ancient Egyptian’s makeup style, they loved the birds so much and had them as deities, that they used to wear a type of eyeliner in reference to the birds EDIT : Malar Stripes are what they’re called, Cheetahs also have them!
Falco didn't exist when this game was made
hell yeah compilation video !!!!!
random thought. maybe the japanese sound for dropping the lamp is supposed to be like a train bell? for 'door is open'?
