This is a sub-page of Super Paper Mario.
|
To do: |
- The European version added an exclamation mark for the text "Level Up" which was missing in the US version.
- A small horizontal line in the middle of a "7" was added in the European version, most likely to avoid confusion with "1".
Japanese to English#
|
|
To do: |
- Merlumina has the same Japanese name as Madam Merlar from the original Paper Mario (クリスタール, Kurisutāru), suggesting that she is this game's incarnation of the character (like with Merlon, Merlee, and Merluvlee).

「マリオストーリー」に |

This is Mario's good buddy |
Just like in the first game, Watt's English Catch Card description mistakenly refers to her as male. This is due to the Japanese description lacking any kind of pronoun, making her gender ambiguous without prior context.

This text is said by Tippi when you tattle yourself in 8-1 between when the stairs appear by solving the torch puzzle and the opening cutscene of the O'Chunks fight (when GSW 0, the sequence value, is 363). But apparently a mistake was made in the non-Japanese versions. Somehow "ルミエール" ("Rumiēru") - Blumiere in the English localisation - got translated as Grambi, a character from Chapter 7, who is called "グランエル ("Guran Eru") in Japanese.
English Text Differences#
- Every instance in the game in the US version saying "spanking" was changed to "clobbering" or "yelling" in the European version. This is most notable with O'Chunks's dialogue.
- Every instance of "good-bye" is changed to "goodbye".
- The green character named Chap on the second floor of Flipside is renamed Glim, presumably to correspond to his Flopside counterpart Slim and to distinguish him from another Flipside resident named Chap in The Underwhere milk bar.
- Merlee's guard dogs Gnip and Gnaw are renamed Howl and Growl, respectively.
- Spit Roast, one of Saffron's dishes, was renamed to Roast Meat.
- Yellow Apple was renamed to Orange Apple. Its item description was also modified to change "yellow" to "orange".
- Cooking Disk [R/W/Y/B/G/PU] was renamed to Cooking Disk [2/3/4/5/6/7].
- The plural of Floro Sapien is "Floro Sapiens" in US English, and "Floro Sapien" in UK English.

- The US one is a translation error. Since "slow" and "curse" are homophones in Japanese, the translator picked the wrong meaning. The European one is more accurate.

Tippi: I really wish you hadn't done that... Goodbye. |
Dimentio: I think I'll start with the green one. The shag upon his lip will make a fine trophy. |
Dimentio: I think I'll start with the green one, he looks like a pushover. |
Luigi: SHAG?! This mustache is all LUIGI! |
Luigi: Pushover?! I'll show you who's a pushover! |
Luigi: Besides, he made fun of my 'stache, Bro! |
Luigi: Besides, he called me a pushover, Bro! |
- Dimentio's insult toward Luigi was changed for the European version. In this context, "shag" is intended to be Luigi's mustache. However, this can be misinterpreted in British English to mean engaging in sexual intercourse. The reference to the mustache was edited out and the European version essentially says he simply looks weak. Compared to the rest of Dimentio's lines, this is rather bland. Luigi's response was edited likewise, causing him to sound slightly more aggressive.

Magiblots#
"Spellslinging" is replaced with "spell-slinging" in the UK version. Additionally, Yellow Magiblot has a different line break. In "But it doesn't seem to be afraid of you!", the line breaks after "seem" in American and "doesn't" in British.

Dark Headbonk Goombas live in a certain secret pit. They look like Dark Goombas, but they're not! |

Dark Koopatrols dwell in a certain secret pit. Stomps won't work, but hey, they're not flame retardant... |

- These pieces of text can be read on the Chapters tab of the menu. Apparently they couldn't make up their mind on whether "you" or "we" did these things. There's also a typo in the Overthere Stair text.
- Oddly for Chapter 8-1 and 8-4, the original text before finishing the level is "This is the Castle Bleck's grand entry." and "This is Castle Bleck's inner sanctum." in both versions.
