Kerog-Banned: Saying names of characters COMPLETLY wrong!

Issue 2 is about saying names of characters very different from what the real name
is. Kerog anyone? I know this should have been Issue 1 but...no.

---

As if this post at Waluigious (which is a way better bog than mine) didn't have enough information of Kerog I'm going to talk about him a bit.


Kerog was the name that Mr. Michael Teitelbaum gave Bowser. Michael is definatly not a Mario fan. He didn't care ONE LITTLE BIT about getting the names of characters right. Princess Toadstool? Sorry Michael but her name changed a few years ago back in 1996...we're in 2000 now (the book was made in 2000). Kerog? Where did you get that one?


Scholastic was so angry with Michael that they fired him right away but still put the book on stores anyway (ok, so I do not know if they fired him or not but I'm just guessing!). They figured they would still make some money. Then Scholastic, later, made a sequel which was way cooler. OMAGOSH! They got Kerog's name right! Bowser! Yes, it says BOWSER! Oh and this book wasn't made by Michael Teitelbaum it was made by Ron Zalme. Go Ron!


So anyway DON'T say Bowser is named Kerog EVER. Yes you, in front of the computer. But before you say Whatever and turn away, I have to tell you something else. Call the Koopalings (Bowser's seven original kids) by their proper name!


The Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World cartoons called them totally weird names. Big Mouth...? Bully!? Kootie Pie!!?? Hip...and HOP!?!? Man were those weird names. Don't you GO AROUND SAYING THEIR NAMES WRONG!


And that is all. Don't call anything by its wrong name. Oh and please don't call Bowser "Koopa". Only do that if you're in Japan.

Kerog-Banned: Bowser Jr., Koopalings, Baby Bowser and Koopakids say hi!

Inspired by: "Waluigious"
Welcome to Issue 1 of Kerog-Banned! What is Kerog-Banned? It's basically just Gannon-Banned with a Mario theme. What is Gannon-Banned? Click on "Kerog Banned!" to find out.


So you think you're such a Mario fan and all that. But then one day you go like "OMEGOSH, Bowser Jr. appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island! You didn't know that!?!?" and then everyone will stare at you and hate you.



This is Bowser Jr. He is Bowser's EIGHT son who appeared out of nowhere (atually out of the Pianta Statue) in Super Mario Sunshine. He is NOT Bowser as a kid. He DID NOT appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Story or the Mario Party games.

These are the seven Koopalings and Bowser's seven original sons (Morton, Wendy, Iggy, Ludwig, Lemmy, Roy and Larry). They first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. They DO NOT appear in the Mario Party series or New Super Mario Bros. Well, they don't appear in ANY 3D Mario game.

This is Baby Bowser. He is NOT Bowser Jr. He is NOT one of Bowser's sons. He first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. He did NOT appear in the Mario Party games (although some characters named Baby Bowser appear in that game). He did NOT appear in New Super Mario Bros. He DID NOT appear in Super Mario Sunshine.

And now the biggest confusement: Koopakid. They are called Baby Bowsers in some games, called Bowser's kids in others but in truth they are just REGULAR KOOPAS WHO WORK FOR BOWSER! Even though their name changed from Baby Bowser to Koopakids they are just Koopas with horns that work for Bowser. Oh and ignore the part where they call Bowser "Dad" in Mario Party 4. Koopakids ONLY appear in the Mario Party games. NOT in Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. or something else. Just Mario Party games.

(Good news: Ever since Mario Party 7, the Koopakids have stopped appearing in the series).



So this ends with Kerog-Banned 1. If you ever called Bowser Jr "Baby Bowser" then I hope you have learned the correct way and I hope those fools out there finally get the name right.

How to Draw: Nintendo's GREATEST Heroes and Villains

You probably heard of "How to Draw Nintendo Heroes & Villains" infamous for calling Bowser 'Kerog' (ha!) Well, last year, I bought the "sequel" to it. I was expecting Bowser to be "Kerog" again but luckily that was not true.

This new "How to Draw" book was awesome. It had a bunch of Mario characters I won't bother saying (Waluigi is in there), Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong (No Tiny, no Snide, no Chunky unlike the original however), Samus, Fox, Slippy, Falco, Link, Zelda and Ganondorf (all Wind Waker style)!

And if that wasn't good enough, all of the pages are...what the...FULL COLOR!?!?! And every page even has beatiful backgrounds, from a bunch of Goombas in the fields to Arwings fighting? It seems as if this is a "Sorry for making a crappy, black and white How to Draw book with Mr. Bowser's name spelled wrong" from the authors of the first book.
