Post any examples of how hilarious the english version of this game is.

Example: You know how zelda's B is Nayru's Love? Well, one of the custom moves causes it to reverse enemies, a la mario's cape. What is it called? Nayru's Rejection. I'm dying.

Dire Hydrant. They put a lot of thought into this, for sure.

Some of the trophy descriptions are pretty good:
Upperdash Arm: "To avoid causing unwanted mess, we recommend removing the Upperdash Arm before eating."
Porky Statue: "A statue of Porky built under the orders of Porky to honour the great exploits of Porky as acknowledged by Porky."
Goldeen: "[..] when it uses Splash... It's super ineffective!"
Hammerhead: "It's great for launching people, so pick it up and throw it at someone! How about that wally waving the hammer handle around? He's just asking for it!" (I always read this in a Cockney accent, which just seems to make it funnier (no offence to anyone who actually has a Cockney accent!))
Baby Mario: "Give him a Super Star, and he'll turn invincible, just like grown-up Mario! If only it gave him a moustache too... That would be awesome."
Thwomp: "If anyone tried to break into your house, it would just go "THWOMP!" right on their head. Yep, a Thwomp would make a great home-security system. Unfortunately, they're not available in shops. Sad times."
Kapp'n: "You might assume that his favourite letter is the letter arrr, but you'd be wrong: his one true love is the C."
Pokémon Trainer: "He fought to be the very best - like no one ever was - back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. To smash them was his real test - to launch them was his cause."

Yeah, the Pokémon Trainer one is the best. I also like the Peach Tennis one about the hole in the space time continuum and Baby Peach.

The Souflee Trophy because that "The Cake is a lie" reference and of course the Pokémon Trainer trophy

Pac-Man's Fire Hydrant customs and Kapp'n's trophy text made me cry forever.

It's not particularly funny, but I love the PAL trophy text for Wario. It never mentions how gross and smelly he is. It makes reference to how he looks like a big ugly Mario and how they used to be childhood friends. It's a much fairer and more appropriate description, I think, and makes me nostaglic for the old Wario games~

There are a lot of funny trophies this time around, but I can't name them off the top of my hear right now. I'll be keeping up with this thread...

The one that got me was the Fly Guy trophy.

"You could say these ones are... pretty fly for a Shy Guy. No? Never mind."

Fan of this one myself, if only just for that last little quip at the end.

The PAL descriptions are better overall. Though Wario's is way better. The NA one is just idiotic.

Personally, I find the trophy descriptions painfully unfunny for the most part. It sounds like whoever wrote them was trying way too hard to be funny, but they mainly come off as cringeworthy.

lol I was trying to find this trophy to show my girlfriend the awesome localization this game has (she wasn't impressed with Pokemon Trainer >:O ) but I couldn't remember what trophy it was. I went through every plant related trophy I had, but somehow must have missed this one.

Yeah, Wario's trophy description is terrible. He himself isn't a disgusting embodiment of gross as the text describes him as. :C

I didn't know that the text flavors differed between the NA/PAL copes, pretty interesting!

It's cute and all that the trophies' descriptions are going for a humorous take, but I do feel they're a bit inappropriate haha.

Some of them are just plain heart-wrenching.

Lucas and Ice Climbers spring to mind, and not for the obvious reasons, either.
