The name Kappa comes from a {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|mythical creature}} in Japan, which has a water-filled, bowl-shaped depression on the top of its head. If the water runs out, the ''kappa'' dies. 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.<ref>[ | The name Kappa comes from a {{wp|Kappa (folklore)|mythical creature}} in Japan, which has a water-filled, bowl-shaped depression on the top of its head.
