[edit] Palutena

I wonder, were the translators working for Nintendo not given the Japanese-market pamphlets and other junk that would have accompanied the game in the box? How did they screw up translating "パルテナ" (pa-ru-te-na) into "Palutena", when the name on the box was clearly written "Parthena" (presumably in romaji)? LOL. —Ryanaxp 19:13, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

I'm curious about that too, especially since "Parthena" is a real Greek female first name... The Trashman 00:20, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

As the official Super Smash Bros. Brawl website still lists her name as Palutena, and it seems to only ever been rendered as such in English, shouldn't Wikipedia refer to the character using this official name (rather than adopt a fan translation, even if it's a more accurate translation)? 67.165.72.229 02:20, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. I have made note that "Palutena" is the official romanization (translation error, or not). I have kept "Parthena" as a note of an alternate English spelling (along with "Parutena").

[edit] The section about passwords

Under the history section is a list of "good passwords" from the game. I didn't delete it but I'm wondering if it is appropriate.CDiddles

[edit] seriously???

i can't believe that when you look up kid icarus there is hardly any mention to greek mythology....its all about the video game. what is the world coming too?!? lol —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.184.203.47 (talk • contribs).

There's a mention in Kid Icarus#Trivia, but other than that, I don't think we need anything else. Do you? --Merovingian ※ Talk 01:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Passwords

I looked up passwords on Gamefaqs and even when I type them right, it says it's wrong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.184.46.20 (talk) 22:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Editting by morons

It's been editted. I poke around the video game parts of Wikipedia, and some moron added his comments while deleting the plot. Might as well put the plot back up and permentally lock it. It's not gonna change. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.71.32.121 (talk) 23:08, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Year it was made in.

What's is the meaning of chaning back to 1986. Kid Icarus was made in 1981 not 1986. Those were the years Nintendo was computerized stickers from 1981-1985. Donkey Kong was computerized, so was Donkey Kong Jr., Mario and etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 205.196.178.200 (talk) 20:02, 6 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] voice

Can I hear his voice, please. I don't know how he talks. You can led him on the Star-Spangled Banner or The Joy of the Lord.

[edit] TOSE

TOSE's role in development is not well-known. I think they probably just ported the game to the Game Boy, I don't think they really had any role in developing the game itself. Andre (talk) 22:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
