Which reminds me, when did Birdo become "real"?

[Bill Aurion]

Why don't you ask the same about Shy Guys?

(All dreams are based on knowledge already stored in your brain, so apparently Mario had seen those creatures before)

But to answer your question, I believe Super Mario RPG was her first "real" appearance...

[couchmonkey]

I thought the name Mario Mario was first brought up in an old Nintendo Power.  I forget who came up with it, it may have been some writer there, but I think it may even have been Miyamoto himself.

If I may... you can visit www.mariomonsters.com to learn what games Mario enemies appear in.  It's definitely not my own site.
To be more specific, though, here are Super Mario Bros. 2 enemies' first appearances in the Mushroom World:
Super Mario Bros 3: Bob-omb
Super Mario World: Pokey and Ninji
SMW2: Yoshi's Island: Shy Guy and Snifit
SMRPG: Beezo (listed as Shy Away) and Birdo

Also, Wart had a cameo as "Mamu" in TLOZ: Link's Awakening.

Link's Awakening was a dream too... ='D

[KDR_11k]

So, there must be some common childhood experience between Link and Mario? Perhaps Link was the third Mario Bros. and when the other two got sucked through the sewers of Brooklyn into Mushroom Kingdom, a fairy teleported Link to Hyrule (which would even explain his different appearances through history). I mean, we KNOW that Hyrule is in another dimension but the Mushroom Kingdom is somewhere beneath the planet's surface, right?

[Bill Aurion]

Well both worlds are in a different dimension...It's just that the Mushroom Kingdom is/was somewhat linked to our planet...

Super Mario Bros 2 is a dream? Whoa... i've played that game so much and never noticed.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Super Mario Bros 2 is REAL.  It's in a little grey cartridge.

[Rancid Planet]

There is nothing "little" about an NES cartridge.

Did you always turn off the game right after defeating Wart, or what? <_<

[Pikkcuber]

assuming we beat it.

[KDR_11k]

I think that part was in the manual, I remember reading it without ever defeating Wart.

[Mario]

Oh that would explain it, I never look at game manuals.

Mario does age in SMB doesn't he.............when he eats a mushroom he is called grandpa mario isn't he? Or is what i am saying make no sense because i remember reading that in the manual and small mario was just normal mario....i have to dig it out and check...... Baby Bowser or Bowser Jr. had a name in the first Mario Party if i remember but i have no idea what it is?
