Birdo's Original Tennis Debut

The Mushroom Kingdom has a Lost Bytes niblet up regarding the Virtual Boy game Mario's Tennis name over there. Interesting. This means . The missing bit of wonderment here is that the original lineup included a character by the name of "Cassarin," which would appear to be a Japanese translation of "Catherine," Birdo's name over there. This would mean that Birdo's addition to the Super Mario crew was going to have initially happened in 1995, a full five years before she actually made the transition with the Nintendo 64 Mario Tennis.

Another new Lost Byte regards some unseen sprites for the Grinder monkey baddie in Yoshi's Island.
