User talk:SmokedChili: Difference between revisions

As you might have noticed, I recently discovered [http://imgur.com/a/UvABP scans of the ''Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia''(「マリオキャラクター大事典 パーフェクト版」)], a book published in 1994 by Shogakukan and having the copyright of Nintendo as well in the cover, and I could determine the book they were coming from. As expected, [[Media:PEGMCE_pages_228_229.jpg|they indeed say that the Koopalings are Bowser's children]], but there is something which might be more intriguing: on [[Media:PEGMCE pages 192 193.jpg|page 193]], Roy is shown as an example of ''Bowser's lineage'' (「クッパ系」), does this mean that they are biological children? So far, the term ''offspring'' was found on ''Yoshi's Safari'''s box (both NA and PA versions) and in four different European sites of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', strongly suggesting in the latter case that this term originated from Nintendo of Europe rather than from the localization teams, but as far as I know in Japanese material this specific term or equivalent formulations are yet to be found. I preferred being cautious and not adding what is stated in the Encyclopedia as an example that the Koopalings were stated to be Bowser's offspring in Japan until I was sure of the actual meaning of these words, so now I would like to know your opinion on the matter. Also, if you don't mind, I would like some help on two matters:

# the description of the Royal Family (「王 族 クッパをはじめとするカメ族の王たち。コワツバなどがいる。」) [[Media:PEGMCE pages 34 35.jpg|on page 35]] is a bit difficult to translate for me, does it state ''The kings of the Turble Tribe originated from Bowser. The Koopalings are part of them''?
