Whenever someone says "such and such was the first time Charles Martinet voiced Mario," someone else comes along with an earlier instance. Very specific versions of Mario Teaches Typing 1. That Mushroom World pinball game. Live events.
But I'm here to put all that to rest. Because the first...
Sometimes it's fun to take clickbaity Youtube thumbnails at face value. For example, doing so with this one briefly puts me in a world where Nintendo put the CD-i games on Steam.

SCOTTISH MARIO. HE/HIM.
(music 1, music 2. Try to play them as simultaneously as you can.)
Scottish Mario was created when [redacted] tried to resurrect Mayor Mario from Dragon Problem and make the result definitively unquestionably Italian. Because Mayor Mario was just a pile of ash at this...
There's an enemy in Castlevania 2 with claws, so the translators decided to call it "Freddie". In the Worlds of Power novelisation, it's established that the presence of an "ie" instead of a "y" in its name is how you can tell it's a nice monster.
Louis Armstrong: I'm gonna write a song about how wonderful the world is! :)
All sorts of people: We're gonna play it over footage of the world not actually being all that wonderful!
Louis Armstrong: oh :(
So is there a fan comic where Banjo and Kazooie try to Wonderwing with one of Sephiroth's shedded feathers or something? Because I feel like there should be.
I got a reply...
...and this is what Google Translate has to make of it.
So I thought, "oh no! I'm not a good enough player to get anywhere near that!" and I've been trying to change the scores manually with brute force and a hex editor. I'm in way over my head though, so I'm waiting to see if...
Turns out if I'd paid closer attention to the video I would have seen his name. Because if Mario wins a round it says "MARIO'S HOLE" (yes hello everyone with an immature sense of humor) in the top left, and if the other one wins a round it says "COMP1'S HOLE".
Also, each of the FDS golf games...
All really know about this game is what I'm gathering from this untranslated playthrough. Luigi appears on the menu with SMB1 colors at 1:10, and at 17:40 a mode where two players (one of them might be CPU?) take turns is demonstrated. You can see from 18:00 onwards that the second player in...
(somone working with sakurai hears about microsoft buying zenimax, and by extension bethesda, and by extension id)
That Someone: Hey Sakurai, I think Smash could use another Microsoft rep.
Sakurai: I know exactly what you mean leave it to me.
I knew that. Did you know that in the original ending for Hamlet, King Kong just climbed down from the Empire State Building after deciding he'd had enough? But Shakespeare's evil twin Francis Marlowe persuaded him to change it to the infamous "he wakes up on a bus and the passengers look like...
Thou had best be prepared
To exit, pursued by a bear
(shame I don't understand iambic pentameter well enough to know how authentic that would actually sound)
Have you been watching Eizouken? Because I've made an amusing observation about Eizouken that I wish to share with someone else familiar with Eizouken (and another thing that I already know you're familiar with)
