The pun

In Super Mario Bros. 3, in Water Land, on the island where the castle is, the island is shaped like Japan. Also, the castle is located right where the Nintendo of Japan Headquarters in Kyoto would be if the island was in fact really Japan.
In the Japanese version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Question 3 in the 66th Super Fun Quirk Quiz has the choices "４本", "６本", "８本", "日本", where "日本" looks similar to the previous choices which make sense, but means Japan. Its English version is "4 feet, 6 feet, 8 feet, Defeat".
