In Japanese, the recurring home island of the Yoshis in fact goes by two separate names, Yo'ster Island (ヨースター島, Yōsutā-tō) and Yoshi Island (ヨッシーアイランド, Yosshī Airando).

However, a few enemies were renamed for its English Virtual Console release to establish a connection with previous localizations:

Super Mario Land, in an unusual aversion to Nintendo's standard localization practice, kept most of the enemy names unchanged for its initial international release.

Akkumu (play off the Japanese word for 'nightmare') to Antasma.

Kamek to Magikoopa (and then Kamek the character to.

Wanwan note onomatopoeia for dog barking to Chain Chomp.

Gessō to Blooper, Boss Gessō to Gooper Blooper.

Mamu to Wart, though he goes by his Japanese name in his Link's Awakening cameo.

3 initially kept Jugem's Cloud as an item.

Jugemu note a Japanese tongue twister to Lakitu - but Super Mario Bros.

In Japanese her preferred name is said to be 'Cathy' while in English it is 'Birdetta'. The enemies that are called Piranha Plants in the English version, which appear in the Pit of 100 Trials, are called Killer Pakkun in Japanese. The black-and-white Piranha Plants found in the Boggly Woods were called Pakkun Flower in Japanese, the name for Piranha Plants in general, but Pale Piranha in the translation. An interesting thing happened with this in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. 2 have the shortened name 'Bob' in the Japanese version instead.

Kurio and Kuriko to Goombario and Goombaria.

Gonbaba, Bunbaba, and Zombaba to Hooktail, Gloomtail, and Bonetail.

Big Unbaba to Gargantua Blargg (the red ones) and Nep-Enut (the blue ones).
