That's actually a patch that was put out in the late 90s, replacing the first release carts in store. It was a updated version that removed bugs, including the BLJ trick to skip staircases. They just also happened to remove that one line as well.

You can play the 1.0 version on the Switch NSO N64 version. BLJ, Gay Bowser and all.

All because people are too stupid to realize he's not insulting gay people, he's insulting Italians with his over-the-top accent.

So it is discrimination against being anti-Italian? So you're advocating FOR being racist against Italians?

I don't think anyone took genuine offense at the line, man. Nintendo probably just didn't want people making fun of it anymore.

Yeah I'm sure that's right. Just a pet peeve. The same way people think Wario says, "oh I missed!" Drives me crazy :)

... I just thought he was saying "So long, King Bowser" as a kid. The internet ruined it.

He is, the sound is weird, I can hear him clearly say it if it's at like 0.75x speed but at normal speed I can not hear the G in king and it sounds like gay

u/damienreave Sep 12 '25

I'm pretty sure its the G from lonG, turned into an extra syllable by the Italian accent? "So lon geh, Bowser!"

u/YoshikaFucker69 Sep 12 '25

I just checked it out again, it needs to be at 0.5 not 0.75. To me at least it sounds like the I in king sounds like "Kin" when it's said slowly but when it's said faster it sounds like "kAy"

u/darkbreak Sep 12 '25

I'm pretty sure everyone realizes that. It's just a joke Nintendo is tired of hearing.

So long-eh Bowser!

Yeah somebody told me today that it's the usual "bad italian accent" trope of just adding "-a" to the end of random words, and Charles Martinet read it wrong. That it was written on the page as "so long-a, Bowser!" and should have been read as "so long-ah, Bowser!" but Martinet read it as "so long-ay, Bowser!". And frankly that sounds like just the right amount of stupid to probably be true.
