Right...
"We need a name for this new character. He's the king of koopas, breathes fire, has a spiked shell on his back and is massive."
"I know! Let's name him after a Korean dish!"
Them guys must have had fun ;)

It means nothing? So are you saying that Wario having his name has nothing to do with the fact that he's based on Mario, and the same for Waluigi and Luigi?

Uh, it's been officially stated that Wario and Waluigi's names are based on Mario and Luigi's. It's never been stated that Bowser is based on the Kappa.

Which would explain this debate, TheChef. If they had said that koopas were based on kappas, or said that they weren't, there wouldn't be this debate.

The debate shouldn't happen anyway because it's never been stated that Koopas are based on Kappas. So why are you debating about whether or not that's true, if it isn't?

The thing is though, no has said that they aren't based on Kappas, so there's no proof that they aren't Also, how can anyone dismiss the similarities between the two?

Well the Kappa was thin and bowser is like a freaking house!

Bowser doesn't look all that much like a kappa.

The Chef · « **Reply #22 on:** August 05, 2006, 06:24:54 PM »

Yeah. The only real similarites are the hair on the head and the shell on the back. The koopa Troopas look more like kappas.

You guys realize that in Japan, the koopas are called nokonoko, right?

SushieBoy · « **Reply #24 on:** August 06, 2006, 02:08:57 AM »

There's just one thing I want to know, CW. What the crap does NokoNoko mean?

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #27 on:** August 06, 2006, 05:02:24 PM »

Pretty much every character with a shell has a variation of "Noko" in their name in Japan.

The Chef · « **Reply #28 on:** August 06, 2006, 05:48:47 PM »

So Noko has something to do with Shells?
