History Trivia / NewSuperMarioBrosWii

* GodNeverSaidThat: Despite claims to the contrary, there's no indication that the blue and yellow Toads are named "Bucken-Berry" and "Ala-Gold," respectively. The only statement on the matter comes from an unverified claim by ''Destructoid'' writer Jonathan Holmes about an undocumented encounter at Nintendo New York. The fact that "Ala-Gold" is derived from "Allah Gold," the name for Anakin Skywalker in ''WebVideo/BackstrokeOfTheWest'', further puts the veracity of the statement in doubt.

* ProductionNickname: Yellow Toad and Blue Toad were respectively nicknamed Ala-Gold and Bucken-Berry by developers.

* NoExportForYou: Was re-released on the UsefulNotes/WiiU [=eShop=] in Europe, Australia, and Japan, but for some reason never in North America.

* RefittedForSequel: The game's co-op multiplayer, which allows players to pick up and throw one another, was originally created for a prototype to a ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' sequel-- later reformatted as ''VideoGame/DokiDokiPanic'', then as an '''actual''' ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2''. The multiplayer was excluded in the finalized versions of both games, meaning that it took roughly 22 years for Nintendo's co-op ''Mario'' multiplayer mechanic to finally see use.

* FanNickname: [[SdrawkcabName Yvan and Wolley]] for the Blue and Yellow Toads, respectively. As an alternative, [[LetsPlay/TheRunawayGuys Jon and Josh]] for blue and yellow, respectively.
