I just got through watching the Gaming Historian episode on character names. Shigeru Miyamoto named Koopa/Kuppa after a Korean dish which he thought was meat based and sounded courageous and cool. Instead, it was a soupy rice dish.

That's so Bowser.

Big, strong, awesome-looking monster with a ton of potential. Treated like a jobber throughout the series.

I thought he was named after Bowser Jr.

I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility.

He's the bad guy. He's supposed to lose.

I'm sorry, but 10,000 of ANYTHING on a PS2 would absolutely destroy your framerate. It'd be like playing chess through the mail. ~johnboy1
