Bowser is always "Kuppa" (pronounced: Koopa) in Japan. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto revealed in an interview that they were considering naming Mario's nemesis either Kuppa, Yukke (Yukka), or Bibinbap (Bi Bim Bap), all Korean dishes.
The onigiri, a hand-rolled sushi snack, has snuck into a few Mario games. A triangular onigiri appears as a character(!) in Wrecking Crew '98 and as one of many food items in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
(Please note that I AM being serious.)Is Nintendo influencing the use of mushrooms on children who play Mario? I mean, kids might think eating mushrooms is cool and makes you grow. Was this coincidental or were they actually trying to put thoughts in people's heads?
