I can't help but feel like Jen Taylor asked Dolores Rogers to voice Bowser Jr. in Sunshine during one of their encounters recording for these games. They both left the Mario series at the same time too. Also, the current voice of Peach, Sam Kelly, has voiced Sunny Day in some of the later 2000s games.
51:24 Ned: Gas station, please. I have to pick up my Geo. 52:49 Barney: To the Big Toilet please. When you gotta go, you gotta go! 53:34 Krabappal: (same speech as before) I need a place to decaffeinate! 53:51 Sea Captain: Yar, to the service station please! My spinner should be ready by now, yar! 54:47 Krusty: To the Gold House, please. 55:22 Willie: Take me to the Biggest Toilet. Willie's got a job to do there! Ach, no worries! Cleaning is Willie's life! 56:18 Ned (same as 51:24) 57:08 Moe: To the tire yard please. Don't ask, I'll pay handsomely! 57:35 Mayor Quimby: Viewing deck please! At last! A place to perform my "mayoral pleasures" with no one but my interns!
Nicely spotted. I know the game prevents you from getting the same passenger twice in a row. But usually, said character disappears from the map once they're picked.
*Fun facts about Olimar/Alph alt skins.* *For Olimar:* *Red:* This is because red is his fav color; his suit has always had red details and his beacon light and backpack are red. He had also confirmed this in Hey! Pikmin. *Green:* This is because of his close relationship with the pikmin, which are plants, so the green is used to amplify this captainship. *Grey:* Basically to make him look more like an astronaut. *For Alph:* *Pink:* Based on Brittany, the botanist of the koppaite trio. *Green:* Based on Charlie, the captain of the koppaite trio. *Red:* Based on Olimar, for some reason. Tbh in tbe next game i hope red Alph alt gets replaced with a Leafling Olimar skin.
That really surprised me too, which is why I really wanted to try and save them. Not everything with the classic cast was salvageable, though... And I don't know about the ones from 2003-2006...
