Octopus (boss)

Octopus was the boss of the Turtle Zone in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.

The Octopus also appears in the Mario VS Wario comic, which is a (loose) adaptation of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. The Octopus attempts to attack Mario while he is crossing a lake but is stopped when Mario asks what an octopus, a saltwater creature is doing in a freshwater lake. The Octopus ponders this and then exclaims that that must be why it hasn't been feeling good. Mario offers to pour some salt in the water for the octopus, but accidently pours sugar in instead. The Octopus is last seen lieing face down in the water... unmoving.

Resemblance
Octopus strongly resembles King Magma Blooper from Super Mario Galaxy. Could King Magma Blooper be the return of Octopus? This generates the fact that Tatanga or other Super Mario Land or Super Mario Land 2 enemies/bosses could reappear in Super Mario Galaxy, not to mention that Tatanga is a space creature.
