Profiles[edit]

  • Shogakukan guide: ビヨ〜ンとのびたりちぢんだり。オバケ界のクシャおじさん。[3](It bouncily stretches and shrinks. A foolish old man of the obake world.)
  • Nintendo 64 Spieleberater: Er ist etwas scheu und verbirgt sich meist hinter Fragzeichenbällen. Habe ich ihn aber befreit, freut er sich so sehr, daß er sich erkenntlich zeigt und mich als lebender Lift in luftige Hohen transportiert, wo es meist etwas Leckeres oder gar Wertvolles zu finden gibt. Doch wie gesagt, er ist sehr scheu, oft werde ich ihn nicht zu Gesicht bekommen. [4] (He is a bit shy and usually hides behind ? Bubbles. But when I have freed him, he is so happy that he shows his gratitude and transports me as a living elevator to lofty heights, where there is usually something tasty or even valuable to find. But as I said, he is very shy, often I will not get to see him.)
