Toadstool's Notes: Explaining the Haikus
Hey, so, if you've read my other story "10 Videogame Related Haikus" you should know what a haiku is. But for those who haven't, a haiku is a Japanese (or is it Chinese? I'm still not sure.) poem where the first line has five syllables, the second line has seven syllables, and the last line has five syllables. Haikus are normally about things in nature, but in my current case they're about random Mario-related things. Here are the explanations for the haikus I wrote.
"Mario" is about Mario's many occupations. And he's got a lot of them. I mean, he's been and/or is a carpenter, a doctor, a construction worker, a plumber, an Olympian, a wrestler, a racecar driver, a tennis player, a soccer player, a golf player, a partier, a princess rescuer, and Nintendo's mascot. (I think I got it all, but let me know if I left anything out).
"Luigi" is about Mario's little brother. He's had all the above occupations as Mario (except for the doctor part). "Ghostbuster" refers to the Poltergust vacuum he used in Luigi's Mansion. I've never played that game (I didn't grow up around the GameCube's release), but I can't wait to try Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
"The Mushroom People" is just a short little haiku describing the Mushroom Kingdom's main residents.
"Toadette" This haiku refers to Toadette, the only female Mushroom person/retainer in the entire Mushroom Kingdom. Poor Toadette! I mean, it really must suck if you're the only female of your species. Just sayin'...
"Wario" Okay...honestly, I'm not a Wario fan. I just don't really understand that guy. I don't understand his role in the games, either. Guess I'll just Google him later.
"Yoshi's Haiku" Okay, this one is weird. Yoshi recited this haiku for me yesterday, but he only speaks Yoshi, so I couldn't translate it. I tried using Google Translate, but they don't have a setting for "Yoshi to English." So thanks a lot, Yoshi.
"Rosalina" I am a huge Rosalina fan. I seriously want to cosplay as Rosalina. Why do you think I have her as my avatar picture? Anyway, yeah, this is a haiku about her.
"The Stars" There are a lot of Star types in the Mario universe. Let's see, there's...Power Stars, Stars, Mini Stars, Mini Ztars, Ztars, Lumas, green Lumas, hungry Lumas, and I think that's it. (Again, let me know if I left anything out.)
"Fire Flower" The most commonly seen and/or used item in the Mario universe has to be the Fire Flower. Everyone likes burning Goombas, right?
"Coins" Just what the title says. I wasn't kidding about the "I go broke so fast" thing. I try to save up, but I'm always in need of an item or two. Maybe it's me, but the Mushroom Kingdom's economy needs some organizing.
End of Explanations! Review if you like my Mario-related haikus!
