Supper Mario Broth@mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 3mo ago

In a 2010 interview, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed that the reason so many Mario enemies have repetitive names in Japanese (and by extension in English, e.g. Koopa Troopa, Cheep Cheep) is in honor of Takashi Tezuka, who calls himself "Ten Ten".

In honor of the upcoming retirement of Takashi Tezuka, director and producer of many Mario games, after 42 years at Nintendo: "The reason so many names are repeated twice is because Tezuka-san refers to himself as "Ten Ten". It's a rather childish nickname, but I thought it was amusing (laughs). So I created this series of repeating names." -Shigeru Miyamoto in a 2010 Nintendo Dream interview DESIGNER. TEN TEN Examples of Mario enemies with repeating names: Nokonoko ノコノコ Koopa Troopa Patapata パタパタ Koopa Paratroopa Pukupuku プクプク Cheep Cheep Basabasa バサバサ Swoop Wanwan ワンワン Chain Chomp Bunbun ブンブン Boom Boom Takashi Tezuka called himself "Ten Ten" both in private and in early game credits (NES Legend of Zelda shown). Note that the enemy names are also preexisting Japanese onomatopoeia; it is specifically the decision to use those for their names that is in honor of Tezuka.

Miyamoto recruited Aonuma to Zelda team after he developed Zelda-like game Marvelous for SNES

Miyamoto recruited Aonuma to Zelda team after he developed Zelda-like game Marvelous for SNES

Games Radar has been fishing around the EDGE magazine archives and has published a 2005 EDGE interview with The Legend of Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma. Mr. Aonuma recounted that Shigeru Miyamoto asked him to join the Zelda team after seeing his Zelda-like game Marvelous on the Super Nintendo. Mr. Aonuma says that he really wanted to incorporate "some essence of Zelda" into Marvelous and then after the game had been released Mr. Miyamoto asked him whether he would like to work on The Legend of Zelda franchise and he's been on it ever since.
