Editing Talk:Octopus (boss)

Not only does this article need major clean-up, I'm not sure I agree with the facts on this article. Thoughts? {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 20:14, 4 November 2006 (EST)

I may have found a name for this guy. Various Japanese sources give his name as Pako, a pun on the Japanese word for Octopi, Tako. I don't have a link- I heard this from a trusted source of Nintendo info- but wanted to point it out. --[[User:The Qu|The Qu]] 00:45, 31 May 2010 (EDT)

=="Poko"==
Unsurpsingly, the "Poko" name for the smaller octopi is from [http://honndana.sakura.ne.jp/mario/dr.cgi?key=2500 the Super Mario Daijiten]. [[User:Niiue|Niiue]] ([[User talk:Niiue|talk]]) 09:17, 27 December 2015 (EST)

This is an addendum to a [[Talk:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins#Decide if unlocalized Super Mario Land 2 enemies should use Japanese or generic names|previous]] proposal. Specifically, "Pako" is the game's only boss character that currently uses a foreign name. The reason is because "octopus" was deemed as a generic name. However, a closer inspection at the [https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Magazine_System_05_1993-08_Trielle_AU/page/n53/mode/2up source] shows that it's preceded by a big "OCTOPUS" header, matching the other boss identifications. Thus, this proposal will make "octopus" the sole exception to the previous proposal.

#{{user|LinkTheLefty}} - We can also move to the simpler identifier "boss" this time, since it's the only octopus subject that's a boss.
