Naming[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Unlike most mainlineSuper Mario titles,Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins did not receive officially localized enemy indexes at the time of its release on the Game Boy and not all enemies are listed in its instruction booklets. Consequentially, most available non-Japanese names come from localizations of theSuper Mario Bros. Encyclopedia. The only exception is the German name listed below. The English edition of the encyclopedia refers to the enemy as "Buichi,"[4] a romanization of its Japanese name and comparable to the name of its article on Super Mario Wiki from 2013 to 2022, "Būichi."
