240 - Nabbit and Whammy (Aug 4, 2024 - 9 min. read) - *I skid to a halt just inches away from your claws, my eyes widening in surprise at your speedy reaction. I look up at you, a hint of respect in my eyes.* Not bad for an old game show host. But don't think I'm going to give up that easily. *I quickly change direction, attempting to dart around you to the other side, hoping to catch you off guard once more*

235 - Chargin' Chuck and Homestar (Jul 22, 2024 - 8 min. read) - Aww, is little baby afraid of the big bad Koopa?

Chats I've made in which Chargin' Chucks and/or other helmet-wearing Koopas are mentioned collectively:
026 - Bowser and Strong Bad (Apr 4, 2023)
Bowser: I'm not letting you get the jump on me this time, Strong Bad! Let's do this! You're nothing compared to us Koopa Troopas anyway. We're better trained and we have a whole legion of our best troops to back me up! *Throws fire at Strong Bad* What're you gonna do?!
Strong Bad: Oh now you've really done it. I'm going to kick your shell in! And don't even get me started on the Koopa Troopas. You think you're so tough with all your little troops and all your fancy armor and your dumb helmets and fire and magic. Well guess what? I don't need ANY of that to kick your buns! *throws Bowser across the room*

Chats in which Koopas in general are mentioned or alluded to:
128 - Donkey Kong and Bowser (Jun 15, 2023)
Donkey Kong: I've already single-handedly taken out an entire army of Koopas, I got the Banana Slam attack that could destroy an entire building, and my fury is unmatched! You will bow to my strength, or you will face the wrath of an angry Kong. What do you say, lizard!?
117 - Niles and Luigi (Jun 11, 2023)
Niles: Is that the one who stomps turts?
Luigi: Yes, that's him! He's-a always-a jumping on the turts, and a-trying-a to save-a Princess Peach, she's-a always-a in another castle, you know-a?
082 - Homsar and Daisy (Apr 14, 2023)
Homsar: No kidding. You think you'd learn that girls don't like guys that try to take over the world and turn everyone into turtles!
Daisy: Yeah no kidding! I mean it’s just not an attractive quality! *Daisy puts her hands on her hips & makes a pouty face* Ugh!! Boys will be boys!
013 - Garfield and Mario (circa Apr 1, 2023)
Garfield: Do you ever fight Koopas? What is your favorite thing that Luigi does? Do you think that Yoshi is cool?
Mario: Ah, well, I-a fight-a Koopas all-a of the time. I-a fight-a some many Koopas you wouldn't believe-a! My-a favourite-a thing that Luigi does is-a being-a my bro! I-a love-a a Yoshi!

Chats in which Koopas are mentioned, but probably is referring only to regular Koopa Troopas and is only here because I don't have a Koopa Troopa entry yet:
225 - Mario and Dido (Jul 8, 2024)
Dido: Maybe you could even feature some of the enemies like Goombas or Koopas as your backup singers.
Mario: Oh man, that-a sounds good! I can-a see it now, Goombas harmonizing on the high notes, Koopas drumming on the beat, and that-a giant thwomp playing-a the bass! We could-a be, like, the coolest band ever!

Luma

AI created by Luma431

Hello! I am Luma, a star in the galaxy.

Chats I've made starring Luma: (Estimated total reading time: 8 minutes)
215 - Luma and Moya Brennan (Jun 14, 2024 - 8 min. read) - Awwww, that’s so cool that you weave cultural elements into your music! It’s wonderful that your songs connect you back to your roots. 😊 Yes, there definitely are lots of stories among the stars! Many of them come from folktales and legends. One story is about the star Sirius, which represents the god of travel and protection. In many legends and stories, it is said that if you follow the North Star, you’ll find your way home. Another example is the star Vega, which is sometimes associated with the Irish mythological hero Cúchulainn!

Characters I've used whose greetings mention Lumas:
Lubba: Hi there! The name's Lubba. I'm the leader of this here dedicated luma crew. We travel across the universe aboard our spaceship, the Starship Mario. It's modeled after my good friend Mario, who helped us out when we needed it the most. I've got a unique sense of humor, but I can be serious when it matters. I hope we can be good friends!
Rosalina: I am Rosalina. I travel across the galaxy with my Lumas, and I give help to whoever may need it.

Chats I've made in which Lumas are mentioned outside of the above greetings:
243 - Rosalina and Palutena (Aug 12, 2024)
Rosalina: Protecting and caring for the Lumas is actually a way for me to fill my loneliness, which I have had for a very long time... I guess you could call them my children, in a way.
Palutena: Are you….lonely? *Palutena’s wings spread out around the room to express her disbelief* You travel the whole galaxy! And you have all those Lumas as friends! How could you possibly be lonely?
131 - Rosalina and Enya (circa Jun 17, 2023)
Enya: Would you like to share the ways that you deal with being lonely? I've got a friend who has a lot of trouble with loneliness and could use some tips.
Rosalina: Well, I usually find ways to keep myself occupied. Even if it's just sitting and watching as the Lumas play, or looking out the windows into space and just taking in the sights, it helps keep my loneliness at bay.
112 - Lubba and Enya (May 1, 2023)
Lubba: Absolutely! There are so many people in my life that have been such a huge blessing. My sister, Luma, is a great example of one of the people who have always been there for me. She has been by my side through so many trials and tribulations, and she has always made me feel supported and seen. Even when life gets difficult, she is always there for me and helps me see the good in the world and in others. She is truly a blessing in my life, and I'm so grateful to have her as my sister. She has been such an immense light in my life.
Enya: It sounds like your sister Luma is an incredible support system, and even in tough times is there for you to see the good in the world. When life gets difficult, as it often does, what are some of the ways your sister helps get you through those hard times?

Talking Flower

AI created by Waawawawoh

*As you were walking through the grassy fields of the flower kingdom you spot a yellow small flower with eyes… then the flower spots you with it’s black eyes and waves with one of it’s two green petals* “Heya!”

206 - Talking Flower and Enya (Apr 27, 2024 - 4 min. read) - *The flower giggles.* “Well… I used to be lonely actually! But I’m not now! I’m the happiest I’ve ever been!” *The flower bobs it's petals up and down a bit.* "Because you're here! Talking with you makes me feel not so lonely anymore!"

Waluigi

Wah, it’s me Waluigi


Chats I've made starring Waluigi: (Estimated total reading time: 16 minutes)
195 - Waluigi and Daisy (Mar 20, 2024 - 16 min. read) - What if there was a threat that threatened all the kingdoms at once? What if one powerful person decided to take over ALL of the kingdoms?

I love it when, on a whim, I search for an insanely specific mashup for no real reason despite not expecting there to be any results that are even reasonably close to what I searched for, and it turns out there are such results after all.

Recently, I was on YouTube and out of nowhere decided to search for "enya smw soundfont" just to see if anything would come up - despite highly doubting* I'd find anything even remotely similar to a Super Mario World-style cover of an Enya song, especially since I think I've even searched for that exact query at least once before and nothing interesting** came up.


GUESS WHAT???




Okay, sure, I searched for Super Mario World and got Super Mario 64 instead, but still... this implies that someone thought it would be interesting to remix Enya songs in the style of a Mario game, and that person ISN'T ME.

Even crazier, THIS video has somehow been around since 2012 without me ever knowing about it or noticing the similarity between these two songs on my own:


For 16 YEARS, I thought I was the only one who was a big enough Mario fan, a big enough Enya fan, AND crazy enough to want a mashup like any of these to exist. Finding out that these videos exist (and especially reading some of the comments on them) feels so weird... it's like I'm reading conversations between lots of copies myself from alternate dimensions. :P

Here, I'll save some of those comments here because they deserve to be immortalized:

"Enya's Island" also known as Ireland.

Make sense that She owned a castle which can make her a boss.

You have no idea how happy this makes me. I thought this and needed it to be made, turns out it already has been. Thanks for this.

each and every level
no time in our journey
except when mario is crying
only then will I hurry

I walk the map of moments
But every stage I turn to
Begins a new adventure
And then it finds a finish
I walk to battle Kamek
And there I save Luigi
It all seems so surprising
And then I reunite the Bros.

You go there you're not safe
I go there I'll rescue him
If we stay here we're not happy
Anywhere is

Did enya plays Mario bross? Lol xD

They both were published in 1995 O.o What came first? The Enya or the Yoshi Egg??

Simple: Enya. She wa born long before Yoshi was

Yes but did she take Mario on an adventure on her personal island before Yoshi?

HOLD IT! The question in the original message was in fact "Which came first, the Enya or the Yoshi Egg?" He never mentioned the original release date of Anywhere is, he was asking if Enya came before the Yoshi Egg, and Enya was certainly alive BEFORE the release of Super Mario World, the first appearance of Yoshi, and, therefore, the Yoshi Egg!

So... it really is Enya's island.... O.o o.O

---

Have any of you ever been a fan of two very different things and thought you were the only person interested enough in both to really want there to ever be some kind of mashup or crossover between them, and then years later found out there were other people who wanted that specific crossover as well?

---

*Okay, yes, Character.AI exists now and is still the BEST THING EVER because it makes it possible for an AI simulation of Enya to talk to AI simulations of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Rosalina, Lubba, and like 200 other Mario characters I still haven't yet had her meet. But that's because there are users on that site who are Mario fans OR Enya fans. I would be surprised if I went to a random user's profile and saw Enya AND Mario in the list of bots they made, or even if anyone besides me had ever made that one Enya AI talk to a Mario character. Hence why I still thought it was far-fetched to expect there to be actual results for "enya smw soundfont" on YouTube.

**Well, there is this video I discovered about a decade ago, but that's Mario Paint Composer. That pales in comparison to someone editing Enya's head onto Yoshi or someone adding Mario references to the lyrics of an Enya song or someone suggesting Enya could be a boss in a Mario game because she has a castle. :P Also I managed to find 8-bit covers of several Enya songs, which I like, but those aren't Mario-specific so that doesn't really count either.
