1337 Mario

Oh yes, definately true, if you mean them speaking "1337".

They were taken over by those Shroobs, which kind of... messed with them.
An interesting and clever parody/tribute to 1337 speak.

Yes, I rememberd this part. I rofl and pwned them with mah 1337 skilz with a red shell...xor. This is the only part where they speak like this though.
