This is a sub-page of Mario Kart Wii/Regional Differences/Spanish Translation Differences.
Characters Names#
In the European version, some characters' names are translated, allowing puns and the meaning of the names to be understandable. In America, the main Mario characters' names weren't translated until the release of the 3DS (with the first Mario game released being Mario Kart 7).
The changed names are:
American |
European |
|---|---|
Dry Bones |
Huesitos |

Rey Boo |
Bowser Jr. |
Bowsy |
Dry Bowser |
Bowsitos |
Rosalina |
