What’s yoshi in Mario? 
How’s bowser a turtle? 
@sidd_harth0_5h4h Bowser is sort of a cross between a turtle and a dragon. They call him the King of the Koopas, who are the walking turtle enemies
@IntrepidVector Whats goomba? What other kinds are there? Whomst the magician guy with bowser? 

@sidd_harth0_5h4h goombas are the little brown guys who look sort of like mushrooms, with legs but no arms

The magic guys are "magikoopas". If it's just one hanging out with Bowser, that is probably Kamek, a specific magikoopa who has been in several games

Here, let BDG lay out the whole roster for you

@IntrepidVector @sidd_harth0_5h4h since we're talking Mario lore, I'm really fond of the idea that Peach is a colonizer monarch ruling over the indigenous Toadstool people and Bowser leads a multiethnic resistance movement. This places Mario as an "adventurer" in the historical sense, hiring himself out to colonial administration in service of white supremacy
@IntrepidVector @sidd_harth0_5h4h in this reading the goombas are toadstools who don't submit to rule and are caricatured unflatteringly in comparison to the "civilized" ones
