Kappa Mountain[1] is the largest mountain on Yoshi's Island and the location of the Yellow Switch Palace in Super Mario World.
The name Kappa comes from a mythical creature in Japan, which has a water-filled, bowl-shaped depression on the top of its head. The lake in the middle of the mountain in Super Mario World looks like the head of a kappa, and the whole mountain could be thought of as a kappa lying on its underbelly.
