::::For what it's worth, the Pikmin suit could also be referring to the ''Pikmin'' series, not sure how that affects the noun and noun-adjacent grammar in Portuguese, though.

:::::That's a possibility, but the Animal Crossing Suit is spelled without the "de", and it's also the only obvious series name.

Two things to consider:<br>1. The Latam and European Spanish names of the Moo Moo Mii Racing Suit directly give its inspiration the ''Mu-Mu'' ("Moo-Moo") designation in brackets. This is in line with other Mii suits inspired by Mario characters, who also have the name of the original character in brackets, such as ''Mono de Mii (Huesitos)'' for Dry Bones; meanwhile, those based on generic subjects are given a mundane designation rather than something made-up, e.g. ''Mono de Mii (Reno)'' for the reindeer suit.<br>2. Somewhat contrarily, the in-game flavor text of ''Tour's'' [[Moo Moo Offroader]] kart [[Moo Moo Offroader#Profiles and statistics|invokes]] its similarity to a cow, but not a "Moo Moo". This is the case in most localizations, including [[:File:MKT Tour109 Special Offer Moo Moo Offroader.jpg|English]], [[:File:MKT Tour109 Special Offer Moo Moo Offroader JA.jpg|Japanese]] etc. but excluding [[:File:MKT Tour109 Special Offer Moo Moo Offroader ES.jpg|Spanish]].{{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 11:58, November 30, 2023 (EST) | Two things to consider:<br>1.
