And also, in English, W is an upside down M.
I'm sure that everybody knows that, but it does count as a third language that uses a play on words to represent Wario as the yin to Mario's Yang.
English, W is an upside down M.
Well yes, because he's the opposite. But I don't think English gets to take part just because of one letter. Apologies. I mean, that letter defines what can be used as opposites, but... like... no.
Sorry.
It's really funny to me that you think Finnish, which you didn't even write your post or response in, played more of a role in the name Wario than English.... Sorry, but like no (is how people who speak English would write it. So dramatic.......)
I don't think that though.
I'm just pointing out how the Finnish bit is by accident, most likely.
Although there are a few game designers who do seem to be fascinated with Finnish things. One in league at least.
Mario has an English letter on his hat. The capital letter M. So... like... yes.
Sorry.
well… those are Latin letters…
I was going to make a Murica' joke... but honestly that would be too much of a stretch even for humor. So I'll allow you this one... lol.
aah… just go for it :D
And Waluigi is warui + Luigi
Huh, I always thought it was Wario + Luigi
I thought it was just upside down M making a W in the name, upside-down (Bizzarro) Mario
I believe this is confirmed as Waluigi's cap has an upside down L in the front
Edit im out of touch old
Bro... Bizzaro is a character from the Superman comics... xD ...it ain't got nothing to do with being Italian.
Oh.
I'm getting out of touch old.
My bad
So you're saying that Wario is alternate universe shadow the hedgehog????
I'm saying he is Mario's shadow.
Naw dog
He's an emo hedgehog

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
