The name "Puni" is likely derived from「ぷにぷに」(''punipuni''), a Japanese word describing something squishy, but also resembles the English word "puny", meaning "small". The way Mario leads the Punies is very similar to [[Pikmin]]. Like the Pikmin, the Punies follow Mario everywhere and are used to solve puzzles, but they can scatter and depart from him if they get distracted. The number of Punies Mario leads is similar to Pikmin; [[Captain Olimar]] can lead 100 Pikmin while Mario leads 101 Punies. In addition, the glowing antenna the Punies sport on their heads mirrors both the Pikmins' stems and the antenna on Olimar's and Louie's helmet, and they closely resemble the Pikmin's original concept art.<ref>{{cite|date=July 18, 2023|url=www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/ask-the-developer-vol-10-pikmin-4-part-1|title=Ask the Developer Vol. 10, Pikmin 4—Part 1|publisher=Nintendo|accessdate=September 22, 2023}}</ref> | The name "Puni" is likely derived from「ぷにぷに」(''punipuni''), a Japanese word describing something squishy, but also resembles the English word "puny", meaning "small".
