:The Tug-o-War gigantic Piranha and the Mushroom Bankers as well. And if the piratical Shy Guy from Shy Guy Says has a specific name. And for that matter, if the Pedal Power Boo is meant to be anything but a normal Boo, it is ''kinda'' large-ish.

So Mysterii showed in the Triforce Wiki discord server an old Japanese guidebook magazine that has ''tons'' of artwork missing from A&A's coverage of TAoL - recolors, Great Palace enemies (but not bosses, unfortunately), and lots of misc. actions for Link that aren't even in the FDS manual. And it's clearly by the same artist. This also shows the yellow Daira artwork predates the western release, and the Carock art was originally red like the sprite. (And in my luck, the last page is an ad for ''Golf: Japan Course'' - ie the game I'm currently ripping from). Anyways, [https://archive.org/details/zines_zelda_famimaga_1987_aol_guide_600dpi/mode/2up here]'s a link.

:Oh dang, that's really cool! Tokuma Shoten also made pre-Shogakukan and pre-Nintendo Power guides, so they seem pretty reliable as a source at that time. I also like the magazine's defense/parry art. The illustrations seem to confirm that Reflex is intentional. I'll also take it as confirmation on what happens when the curtain closes (someone tell [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkhSG4HL8nc&t=191s Boundary Break]). Still doesn't seem to have info on that "Sage" though, despite giving him a text bubble. I know this is paltry in comparison, but the other day, I happened upon an alternate name for the Magic Jar [https://archive.org/details/NintendoPower1988-2004/Nintendo%20Power%20Issue%20007%20%28July-August%201989%29/page/n59/mode/2up here].

You don't have to do it all by yourself. Just saying. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:26, March 29, 2024 (EDT) | |||

The reason I replaced with a newer archive is because if you look in the references section of the [[Koopa Shell]] article, it displays an "error: invalid time", which is odd since it doesn't do it for all timestamps.

To be fair, there's been a wrench as far back as ''Super Show'', considering [[George Washingtoad]]. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:40, April 20, 2024 (EDT) | |||
:I always took that as like [[Toadofsky]] - probably also intended as a play on toadstool rather than Toad - but "Toad as species" [https://archive.org/details/super-mario-all-stars-nintendo-players-guide/page/64/mode/2up are] [https://archive.org/details/NintendoPower1988-2004/Nintendo%20Power%20Issue%20056%20%28January%201994%29/page/n57/mode/2up in] [https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Players_Guide_SNES_Super_Mario_RPG_1996/page/n21/mode/2up some] [https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Players_Guide_SNES_Super_Mario_RPG_1996/page/n97/mode/2up early] [https://archive.org/details/nms47/page/n93/mode/2up sources], plus the German translation in ''Super Mario RPG'' remake does have instances of Toad as species. ''Paper Mario'' still marked a definitive point where Mushroom People was phased out, but the switch to Toad wasn't as sudden as I thought, so I've decided that it would be more confusing than not to be stubborn about conjectural naming here.
