The Mario's franchise is also one of the longest running and oldest in all of gaming, so an owner who names their dog after a character from the Super Mario series could be doing so as a call back to the days of yesteryear and the halcyon days that have gone by.
Mario and his band of color characters' names become quite distinct the further along one delves into the Mushroom Kingdom's mythos, so an owner who has named their dog Bowser has likely done so in order to avoid more common and potentially over used names. Gaming culture can be considered to be one of Geek culture's more well known branches, and gamers are apt to name pets after these iconic characters in order to pay homage to something that's played such a massive part in their lives. Yoshis also protect lost young children (including Mario himself, in his youth,) and spirit them back to their parents all on their own! These many attributes, as well as the Yoshis' adorable mannerisms, have caused them to be loved by millions of gamers worldwide and have inspired many dog owners within the Super Mario community to name their pets after their favorite Yoshis.ĭog owners who name their pets after Mario, or one of his many friends or foes, are likely dyed-in-the-wool gamers who have likely been fans for many, many years. Yoshis derive their names from a Japanese word meaning "great" and they've helped Mario countless times throughout his adventures by allowing the mustached plumber to ride on their backs.
These dinosaur-like creatures have served as faithful companions to Mario and his friends, and have become popular enough in their own right to star in multiple games played from their perspective. Chain Chomps usually serve as antagonists or obstacles that player have to help Mario outwit and overcome, but there are also quite a few Chain Chomps who are friendly and just want play or sleep.Īnother creature from the Mario franchise that evokes the spirit of dog-kind are the Yoshi creatures. These creatures were inspired by a strange, childhood experience Mario's creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, had with a dog and as such, all Chain Chomps found within the Mario franchise exhibit canine tendencies and their bark's sound exactly like a dog's. Chain Chomps are cast iron black, sentient ball and chain creatures that have been featured in a multitude of Mario's adventures throughout the years. Pupper may be one of the most prominent instances of a real world creature garnering a lot of attention in a Mario game, but there are other fictitious animals that have been filling that dog shaped void for many decades. Named "Pupper" by the Super Mario community, this Shiba Inu is quite a unusual sight within the Super Mario franchise, as a compared to the turtle-like Koopas or dinosaur-esque Yoshi creatures, this Shiba Inu is simply an ordinary dog that exists in Mario's extraordinary adventure (though Pupper is inconspicuously sporting a cowboy hat, funnily enough.) Though Pupper is a new character who plays a relatively small part in the grand scheme of Super Mario Odyssey, this hat wearing Shiba Inu has made a big impression on the millions of gamers who've encountered him and he'll always be remembered for breaking ground as one of the first real world breeds to grace the Mushroom Kingdom. But a certain Shiba Inu has made big waves in Mario's critically praised 2017 game, Super Mario Odyssey. The Mushroom Kingdom and the various other lands that Mario has visited are host to a wide array of strange creatures and otherworldly beings, but dogs have made very few appearances throughout the Super Mario franchise.
