Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but what exactly was the source for "Thang" as full surname? It doesn't seem to appear anywhere in the games or manuals, so I'm presuming it was probably an old official website.

:I see the Chinese surname being sourced at least, though that one leads to a dead website. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 17:46, January 13, 2022 (EST) | :I see the Chinese surname being sourced at least, though that one leads to a dead website. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 17:46, January 13, 2022 (EST) | ||
::That's pretty useful: with some extra help from [https://web.archive.org/web/20080729132412/http://www.ique.com/games/WarioWare/touchingisgood.html Internet Archive] and [https://ruffle.rs/ Ruffle] or something similar, the Chinese ''Touched!'' website is still accessible, and if you do a little navigation to the character profiles, you can see that the citation is indeed accurate! This means that it is most likely translated from the [https://web.archive.org/web/20050215190130/http://www.warioware.biz/touched/launch/touchingisgood.html English equivalent], though I don't have luck getting that one to work for me. [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gba/589714-warioware-inc-mega-microgame/faqs/22353 This FAQ] indicates that "Thang" may have been a thing before ''Touched!'', so if there is a working version of the ''Mega Microgame$!'' or ''Mega Party Game$!'' website, I suspect that is where a proper English citation can be found.

::Another thing: in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ct4S0mgldpk&t=220s Japanese] ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'' at least, you can clearly hear Jimmy T. announce his full name as 「ジミー・サング」(''Jimī Sangu'', "Jimmy Thang"), while the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAATTSUmfd0&t=269s English] version just uses "Jimmy T".
