LinkTheLefty (talk | contribs) (Credit where it's due, this translator suggested it can alternatively be a play on "Noko-" back in 2022.

I'm not saying it's an indisputable fact they were based on Siegfried & Roy, but c'mon. All that was needed was to give the duo the same accent with a wink and a nod. And why would Koopas ever sound like Moogles?) |
