Talk:Octopus (boss)

Not only does this article need major clean-up, I'm not sure I agree with the facts on this article. Thoughts? Wa _T^C_@^Y 20:14, 4 November 2006 (EST)

I may have found a name for this guy. Various Japanese sources give his name as Pako, a pun on the Japanese word for Octopi, Tako. I don't have a link- I heard this from a trusted source of Nintendo info- but wanted to point it out. --The Qu 00:45, 31 May 2010 (EDT)

"Poko"

Unsurpsingly, the "Poko" name for the smaller octopi is from the Super Mario Daijiten. Niiue (talk) 09:17, 27 December 2015 (EST)

Revert to octopus

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit any of the sections in the proposal. If you wish to discuss the article, do so in a new header below the proposal.

revert to "octopus" 6-0
This is an addendum to a previous proposal. Specifically, "Pako" is the game's only boss character that currently uses a foreign name. The reason is because "octopus" was deemed as a generic name. However, a closer inspection at the source shows that it's preceded by a big "OCTOPUS" header, matching the other boss identifications. Thus, this proposal will make "octopus" the sole exception to the previous proposal.
