In this completely silly run of bite-sized features, we're going to write a new version of '12 Days of Christmas' with a Nintendo twist that will, hopefully, be good enough to sing.
Six Yoshis Laying
With the original line being 'six Geese-a-Laying', we thought that Mario's favourite side-kick — apart from Luigi — was the obvious choice, as did some of the community in the comments section. Quite how Yoshi (we think the plural is Yoshis) produces eggs so quickly is well beyond our remit, but the lovable boot-wearing dino manages it nevertheless. It's best not to over-think those giant eggs in Yoshi's New Island.
So far, then, our song is as follows:
On the First day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
A big chair in a Pear Tree.On the Second day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Two Koopa Troopas
and a big chair in a Pear TreeOn the Third day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Three angry cuccos
Two Koopa Troopas
and a big chair in a Pear TreeOn the Fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Four calling Chatots
Three angry cuccos
Two Koopa Troopas
and a big chair in a Pear TreeOn the Fifth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
FIVE SONIC RINGS
Four calling Chatots
Three angry cuccos
Two Koopa Troopas
and a big chair in a Pear TreeOn the Sixth day of Christmas my true love sent to me,
Six Yoshis Laying
FIVE SONIC RINGS
Four calling Chatots
Three angry cuccos
Two Koopa Troopas
and a big chair in a Pear Tree

Clever.
It's easy to apply Pokemon to everything in this song. The first thing that came to my mind when I thought of tomorrow was "seven Swanna's swimming"
On the 7th day of Christmas my true love sent to me ...
7 Bloopers swimming.
7 dlc Plessie-levels for a swimmin'
Well we already did a pokemon (plus on the official pokemon fb page they used swanna already for this song) so how about seven zoras swimming?
@ShadJV
We already have one for Zelda (Cuccos) but ...
+1 on Zoras
7 bloopers swimming
7 Kongs a swinging? I think there are at least 7 official Kongs in the family
@Gerbwmu I like that one.
I'll go with Seven Sprixie Princesses from 3D World.
@TeeJay - That's because with something like ~800 Pokémon they basically have their own dictionary at this point.
I do like 7 Bloopers/Zoras swimming, but both franchises have already been represented. @Gerbwmu has a nice suggestion.
I like the "Swannas swimming".
Some of the enforced festive schmaltz on Channel 5 this afternoon has left me feeling a tad cynical so "Eight executives mercilessly a-milking successful franchises, producing game after game and many merchandise tie-ins in a shameless heist on wallets". Hmm. Not quite pithy enough - "Eight execs a-milking". Not saying that I don't like this because Nintendo have franchises that deserve many games and much merchandise. Remember that video of Link continuously opening chests until he collapses, though? Maybe there's room for a little skepticism ?
@BensonUii Can you have too much Zelda?
Called it this time!
I think tomorrow will be 7 Swannas swimming.
7 Blue Pikmin Swimming!
I would love to see something with the Koopa Kids, but the already suggested Swanna is a much more closer comparison.... I can't think of too many for this one. Maybe I'll have better ideas tomorrow. Although I really want tomorrow to be eight robot masters.
How about Seven Steel Divers swimming? That's whatchu do in that game right? Right?
Of course it had to be Yoshi! It was so obvious! Nice.
@Gerbwmu Really like that one.
six yoshis laying smelly poo eggs haha
@Kirby_Fan_DL3 I never understood how Yoshi is a boy if he's able to lay eggs. That also lends credibility to the "poo" theory seeing that it only takes a second to digest his enemies!
@StarDust4Ever yeah but do you think yoshi gets embarrassed when he poos eggs in front if mario? sorry if this ofends anyone but i thought it was a funny thing haha
@Kirby_Fan_DL3 Is a dog embarrassed when he craps in the neighbor's yard? A horse that leave steaming piles in the street? Does a hen care that she makes good omelets?
@StarDust4Ever well this is yoshi hes verry sensitive when he poos eggs in front of mario haha just for the laughs haha
