So, why is it that Yoshi isn't allowed in castles and ghost houses?

Hasn't he been house-broken yet?

And why don't the red and blue boxes do anything? At the very least, red could always give you a flower. Maybe blue could... um... give you a few extra seconds?

And is it just me, or does Mario World not have goombas? I miss my little walking mushrooms!

On that note, in the first Mario game, weren't the inhabitants of the Mushroom Kingdom turned into bricks and monsters? So doesn't that mean that Mario was killing off Princess Toadstool's subjects?

And why did they change her name to Peach?

And who, exactly, is the mom of Bowser's kids? Wouldn't she object to Bowser's attempts at an interspecies relationship?

And why are Bowser's kids so spoiled? Castles, flying ships, magic wands, minions.... Seriously, isn't he worried that they'll try to off him with all this equipment?

Just wondering....

Maybe they changed her name to Peach after the character of Toadstool was created. Hmmm...is that even his name, though? It's been so long! Anyways, they probably didn't want people thinking that she was called "Princess Toadstool" because she was married to him.

He's always been Toadstool, though.

Right. I thought, though, that he was created after the Princess, which might have led to the name change because they didn't want players linking him to her romantically. I thought he didn't show up until #2, but I could be mistaken.

In the original, the guy you rescue at each castle is called toad.
