Top: Super Mario 64 is the first game that lists Princess Peach's name as "Peach Toadstool", being known almost exclusively as "Princess Toadstool" in Western material and "Princess Peach" in Japanese material prior to this. (She was referred to as "Princess Peach" in Yoshi's Safari in 1993 in English once before.)

Bottom: in a 2025 interview with Time Extension, Leslie Swan, localization manager on various Nintendo games and voice of Peach in Super Mario 64, revealed that she was the one who suggested this compromise of using both names to Miyamoto herself.

As such, very fittingly, the person who is heard saying "Princess Toadstool, Peach" at the beginning of Super Mario 64 for the first time also happens to be the person who invented the name in the first place.

the phasmid in disco elysium has to be in the 99.99th percentile of effectiveness for characters that, when i actually interacted with them first, changed my perception of the entire world a piece of media had built up. like DE, pre-phasmid, has some wondrous magical realism kind of elements that appear more as you progress (the existence of the pale and its whole deal, harry’s skills allowing him insight he should not have, etc) that juxtapose some of the more gritty and real aspects (we’re investigating a murder here. and an extremely politically and emotionally charged one at that) but i just feel like the phasmid’s appearance really solidifies that yes, this game does feature serious topics and interactions that are desperate and sad and violent, but oh my god we have to keep going. like oh my GOD we have to keep living so bad. there’s hope and here is wonder still undiscovered by the rest of the world. there’s more to see out there and while we have that we have to continue seeking it out. things can be strange and impossible and beautiful and so sad at the same time and i want to see it all. all bc this big fuck-off insect that looks like a clump of reeds told me to do it for the working class. nods. okay phasmid. okay
