    Mistodon: #Goomba / #Kuribo wants everyone to know that #Mar10 is overrated as a holiday. (Perhaps instead consider National Mushroom Day, on Oct 15?) This #teletext screen was drawn by @horsenburger and included in the MIST0919 artpack collection released seven years ago!

    This cute little guy is from the original Super Mario Bros. His name is Goomba in English and Kuribō in Japanese.

    The game takes place in a mushroom kingdom, so he was modeled after Shiitakes. But one developer thought he resembled a chestnut, and called him Kuribō. This means “chestnut boy” in Japanese.

    There’s more to the story, but that’s the gist of his name duality.
