If you allow Snifit #1, #2 and #3 find you too many times behind the curtain, you'll battle Booster and the Snifits. -- [[User: Sir Grodus|Sir Grodus]]

I remember that now. He was always a favourite, oblivious, full of fun, and most of all, completely insane. All in all, my kind of person.  -daM doG{{unsigned|DaMdoG19}}
Wouldn't Booster be considered as a villain because he blasts Mario before battle. {{User:Fawful's Minion/sig}} 05:42, 14 June 2016 (EDT)
== Japanese name origin? ==
So, I don't speak Japanese, but I found (by searching for "buki" in jisho.org) these words 不器用 (''bukiyō'') and 不器量 (''bukiryō''), which apparently mean clumsy/inept and ugly. They sound like they could be where the "bukky" name comes from. At least they fit Booster as a character better than "weapon".

:::I'm gonna chime in and say this sounds much more correct to me, considering he's rather airheaded (more obvious in the Japanese I think) and people in Marrymore are taken aback by his appearance. Thanks for pointing it out. I've had another theory, too, and I guess it's similar: ''{{wp|glossary of owarai terms#boke|boke}}'', which again, connotates airheadedness. His first-person pronoun in the Japanese version is「ボキ」(''boki''), which looks styled after「ボク」(''boku'') and his name (ala [[Special:Diff/3998291#Names in other languages|his train]]), but it also seems fairly close to「ボケ」(''boke''). His pronoun sort of, to me at least, has a manchild undertone to it, although he tends to sound more artistocratic than in English.
