i swear i always thought goomba was a turd

Level 71

Jul 6, 2013

I never knew what they were called, so my brothers and I always called them mushroom guys.

Waluigi and Wario aren't brothers, they're just partners (not gay)

Level 43

Dec 17, 2015

I think that if a quizzer knows enough about Mario to know that, then he or she should know what the quiz means. And plus, most people do consider them brothers, but I do agree that 'partner,' or even 'opposite of Luigi' would've worked better.

(they are gay)

Level 17

Thwomp? Bullet Bill? Kamek? Just some suggestions.

Level ∞

Dec 21, 2016

Added Thwomp and Bullet Bill.

Level 18

Jan 11, 2020

Hey, what about Rosalina, and Bob-omb?

Level 87

Dec 22, 2016

I had to look up what Kamek is. I know them as Magikoopas, but apparently they're called Kameks in Japan and some more recent PAL localizations.

Level 48

May 28, 2020

Kamek is actually the name of the magikoopa thats bowsers right hand. magikoopas are the enemies in general

Level 28

Jun 15, 2013

You should accept more spellings of Piranha. I tried everything BUT that.

Level 5

Apr 28, 2015

Piranha is not a hard word to spell

Level 62

Sep 18, 2015

Yes, it is. It's not phonetic. It has a silent 'H'.

Level 68

Jan 16, 2025

Not silent in Portuguese (the language the word comes from)

Level ∞

Dec 21, 2016

Pirana would have worked though.

Level 78

Dec 21, 2016

I kept trying to spell it like Rihanna. Pirhanna. Finally I just got rid of the 'h' and double 'n' and hoped that QM would accept just "pirana"

Level 80

Dec 21, 2020

The h is not silent, it's pronounced like an i.

Level 58

Apr 25, 2025

Not in English.

Level 44

Apr 3, 2014

Maybe add Bowser Jr., all the Koopalings, Boom Boom, and Dry Bones?

Level 20

Waluigi is not Wario's Brother. Just sayin'....

Level 18

Mar 24, 2015

You know, DK and Diddy should be accepted.

All fans of the series just refer to Diddy Kong as Diddy, and most call Donkey Kong, DK.

And DK is an ape not a gorilla.

Level ∞

Apr 6, 2015

Okay, those will work now.

Level 69

Dec 21, 2020

Gorillas are apes.

Level 68

Jan 16, 2025

But apes aren't gorillas.

Level 10

Feb 23, 2016

I got 100% with 3 minutes left! Also the goomba isn't a mushroom, it's more of a chesnut if anything...

Level 76

Jun 29, 2019

Looks like a mushroom to me... not all mushrooms are red you know..

Level 34

Apr 26, 2016

Level 77

Jul 26, 2017

This quiz reminds me of Mario 64. probably one of the most iconic games EVER. I was obsessed with it as a child. I hope they make a sequel.

Level 36

Jul 26, 2017

100% with 2:55 left. Good quiz!

Level 73

Jul 26, 2017

I only played the original Mario in the 1980s when my kids were young. My paltry six correct wasn't enough to grab any points but the quiz brought back fun memories anyway.

Level 54

Jul 27, 2017

I tried about 5 different spellings of Lakitu and still didn't get it

Level 8

Sep 12, 2017

This was fun! I forgot that the Block that crushes you was called a Thwomp xD

No, THIS is cannon:

Level 34

Dec 24, 2017

I can't believe 1% of people haven't heard of Luigi.

Level 34

Dec 24, 2017

And 5% haven't heard of Peach

Level 41

Jan 5, 2018

Green Mario should be accepted.

Level 3

Mar 27, 2018

Rosalina, Toadette, Toadsworth? Just some suggestions

Level 70

Jun 5, 2018

Please accept alternate spellings for lakitu (such as lakitoo)

Level 19

Aug 21, 2018

great quiz :)

Level 67

Sep 9, 2018

Technically Waluigi isn't Warios brother he was created to be a rival of Luigi henc the name "wa" which means something in Japanese and "Luigi" correlating to Luigi. Quick fact Waluigi wasn't created by Nintendo and subsequently Nintendo haven't made a Waluigi based game.

Level 58

Oct 28, 2018

This was definitely not written by anybody who's into these games.

Level 87

Apr 10, 2019

Had trouble finding Drybones since it's called Skelerex in France

Level 16

Jun 12, 2019

Great quiz! Is there anyway you could add Rosalina, the star princess? Or luma?

Level 18

Jan 11, 2020

Dont forget of Rosalina and Bob-omb

Level 34

Aug 21, 2020

If you've hijacked Lakitu's cloud in Layer-Cake Desert-6 or Superstar Road-7, then you've played New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.

Level 59

Aug 24, 2020

I know it's small, but goombas are actually chestnuts, not mushrooms.

Level 80

Dec 21, 2020

No, they're mushrooms.

Level 23

Dec 10, 2020

Level 73

Dec 21, 2020

Eh, it's ok

Level 73

Dec 21, 2020

I got 100% and I think the only reason is because I've been playing too much Super Mario Maker 2

Birdo's name in weird Mario 2 is Ostro. That didn't work for me. Consider adding.

Level 63

Dec 23, 2020

Mar 17, 2021

Wario is a bad guy play super Mario land 2

Level 59

Feb 25, 2023

elaborate please

Level 56

Nov 7, 2023

I'm pretty sure this guy is thinking about "baddie" in terms of the modern slang usage. It's used to refer to an attractive woman: "Oh man that girl is a baddie". I think maybe he doesn't know that baddie is supposed to mean bad guy in this situation

Level 21

Jan 25, 2021

Waluigi is not wario’s brother, he is just a partner in “crime”

Level 73
