At the time, he was one of the night hosts for the {{wp|All Night Nippon}} radio program. In the game manual of ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]'', it is mentioned that "Sunplaza was fooled by Koopa's letter to his 'Illusionary Business Prosperity' corner into visiting him. And he was changed into Koopa Tribe minion 'OkaP.'" Although not present in the game, the enemies "OkaP" and "Pakkun OkaP" seem to have been based on his appearance. | '''Nakano Yuki''' (Japanese: '''中野中野''') (August 15, 1960), better known as '''Sunplaza Nakano''' (Japanese: '''サンプラザ中野''') or '''Sunplaza Nakano-kun''' (Japanese: '''サンプラザ中野くん''') is a Japanese musician and author.

'''Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov''' (Russian: '''Владимир Ильич Ульянов''') (April 22, 1870 – January 21, 1924), better known as '''{{wp|Vladimir Lenin}}''' (Russian: '''Владимир Ленин'''), was a Russian political theorist and communist revolutionary who served as the first ''de facto'' leader of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from 1917 until his death in 1924 and of the Soviet Union from 1922 until his death (though he was not the ''de jure'' {{wp|List of heads of state of the Soviet Union|head of state}}). He is also known as the founder and namesake of Marxism-Leninism, which served as the leading school of communism until the Soviet Union's dissolution at the end of 1991, and for leading the October Revolution, which deposed the Russian Republic in favor of its Soviet counterpart. In [[Mario is Missing! (PC)|the PC version of ''Mario is Missing!'']], Lenin is mentioned when Luigi visits [[Moscow]], the former capital of the Soviet Union; his [[Lenin's Tomb|tomb]] is shut down when the Koopa Troop steals the [[guard's hat pin]], and Luigi must answer questions about Lenin in order to prove its legitimacy after recovering it.
