Card Trivia:Kuriboh


 * "Kuriboh" roughly translates to "chestnut person" in Japanese. It is also the Japanese name for the Super Mario Bros. enemy known in America as "Goomba".


 * "Kuriboh" has 7 counterparts, "Winged Kuriboh", "Winged Kuriboh LV9", "Winged Kuriboh LV10", "Wretched Ghost of the Attic", "Hanewata", "Watapon", and "Kuribon".


 * "Kuriboh" appears in the artwork of "Gift of the Weak" "Gift Card", "Detonate", and "The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh".


 * In the Swedish Shonen Jump, an interview with Kazuki Takahashi occured in number 2 2005. He listed his favourite monsters, and Kuriboh finished third. In his commentary he said (freely translated) "What does that look actually mean?"


 * In the anime, this card self-destructs on contact with the enemy. This is shown in the TCG with the Spell Card Detonate which is shown as an after effect of Multiply which creates more Kuribohs and is another spell card specifically for Kuriboh.
