Muppet Casting Rules
Because you can't just do whatever you want when you're casting the muppets.
Rule #1:You get ONE Human celebrity actor to play a character. This can be a main protagonist, a villain, a joke character, whoever fits best, but you only get one TRUE "celebrity" guest.
Rule #2: You may have multiple celebrity cameos, but their characters must appear only once and then never again, otherwise the celebrity counts as your one true celebrity role.
Rule #3: You may have two additional non-celebrity human actors to play roles where necessary. Generally this should be one man/boy and one woman/girl, but gender is a construct and this rule can be flexible depending on the roles in question.
Rule #4: Muppets should not be cast as multiple characters unless it is a story where two roles are traditionally played by the same actor (ie, the wolf and the prince in Into the Woods). Each muppet should only have one character in the story that they play.
Rule #5: The exception to rule number 4 is Miss Piggy, who may play multiple roles (as she does in Muppet Wizard of Oz) if the roles all make sense for her to play. This is both because she is really the only female muppet of note, and because, let's face it darling, she has the range.
Rule #6: You get ONE Unique Muppet per show. This should only be used once all other possible casting options have been exhausted, but an original muppet may be designed in order to fill a role that's particularly difficult to cast with current existing muppets and the One Celebrity and Additional Humans have already been used.
Rule #7: Background characters can be a mix of human and muppets, the ratio is dependent on the story itself. However, background characters are only really worth mentioning in the case of musicals, when discussing ensemble pieces.
Rule #8: Finally, any and all of these rules are in fact breakable if the end result is funny enough to justify it.

Name: Bubbles
Debut: Clu Clu Land
Bubbles is a Weird Creature, a Weird Girl, and a Weird Hero! The best kind of all three of those things to be! Bubbles is very good at grasping, better than I am, probably, and she doesn’t even have as many fingers as I do! Clu Clu Land is a game about a titular Land, in which our hero uses her hands, with their fingers, located on the end of her arms, to grab onto poles. For this purpose, what animal did they choose?
Tumblr media
A fish! Bubbles is a fish! I don’t just mean that in the sense that she is a tetrapod, she is meant to be a “balloon fish”, so probably either a puffer fish or an original creation. And despite its name, Clu Clu Land is underwater! The whole situation is wacky. I don’t know.
Clu Clu Land is weird. Bubbles is moving forward at all times, and must grab onto poles to turn around! I had always thought this was just how Bubbles is, but after reading the manual, I have learned that it is the effect of a strange power in Clu Clu Land (location)! Bubbles Lore! Now there’s NO reason for her not to be in Smash!
Bubbles is really a great character design. She is a very simple character design, but I like those! Just a cute funny little creature. She is about the same genre of character as Pac-Man or Q*bert, but I don’t think there is really a word for that kind of character. Yet. We have Scrimblo now, maybe this one is next! Her Spirit Battle even uses Pac-Man, since they’re somewhat similar creatures. Also because the game is like Pac-Man I guess. Bubbles has a funny face, funny arms with gloves, funny feet, and a little tail that is not particularly fishy, which you can see a bit of here:
Tumblr media
Awesome! Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy rendering! She is basically real now! It is very important that Bubbles is a female character, because, I mean, just look at her. A female character who is not Blatantly Female, whether in a sexualized way or a Ms. Pac-Man (RIP) way, is always so epically awesome, especially for an NES game! I’m not as big of a fan of her English name, though, since Bubbles is just a word, and a somewhat common one for characters, at that. I can think of a Badnik and a Powerpuff Girl named Bubbles. Her Japanese name is Gloopy, and wow! I love it! So so silly! And distinct, despite being just a silly word! It is perfect.

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.

A good reminder that often the biggest roadblock to working with Bullseye, even for Fisk. Is that the man is INSANE. A violent, gleeful sociopath who is not above biting the hand that feeds him. Captain America #373

Bonechill, the boss of Chapter 7 of Super Paper Mario, is known for being extremely easy to defeat by using Luigi’s Super Jump, allowing Luigi to get stuck between Bonechill’s head and the ceiling, dealing repeated damage. However, there is an even quicker way to defeat Bonechill that depletes all of his HP from full to zero in less than a second.
For this, Bowser must walk at Bonechill and time a jump to get extra height from the recoil. This will put Bowser between Bonechill and the ceiling, as seen in the beginning of the footage. At that point, using Thudley’s ability will make Bowser deal twice his attack power of damage to Bonechill every frame, which will kill him nearly instantly. Note Bonechill having full HP before Bowser’s attack (visible by his head missing no pixels) and dying immediately afterwards.

ok here's my timeline of egyptian koopa/king tut Notable Events, mostly to sate my own desire for one
AUG 2000: paper mario is released for the n64, debuting the character tutankoopa
SEPT 2002: adrian barritt & richard horrocks found fuse games (later renamed silverball studios)--not long thereafter, they pitch mario pinball land (aka super mario ball) to nintendo and are greenlit (source)
AUG 2004: mario pinball land launches in japan, followed by an autumn release elsewhere. the boss of its desert world--a pharaoh-themed koopa (video)--goes unnamed in the game. a page (author uncredited) on the official japanese promo guide site for pinball land calls it ボスノコノコ ("boss nokonoko", i.e. "boss koopa"--this follows a similar convention to the jp names for big bully, sunshine's wiggler, petey piranha, & others)
Tumblr media
SEPT 2004: a walkthrough on gamefaqs by user qqwref refers to that boss as "tutankoopa"--afaict this is the first time anyone has publicly referred to this character by any name in english!
OCT 2004: a japanese licensed guidebook published by shogakukan (akiharu tsuchida et al) uses the name ファラオノコノコ ("pharaoh nokonoko", thus "pharaoh koopa"). everyone say thank you mariowiki for cataloguing the image. (i verified the book's release date via the final photo on this sale listing)
Tumblr media
NOV 2004: nintendo power issue 185 features a mario pinball land guide (author uncredited, probably one of the names on this page) which refers to the boss as "egyptian koopa". note also the "piranha pete" error on the same page & the "spikey" error on the preceding page. the same month, a gamefaqs guide calls the boss "pharoe (sic) koopa troopa"
DEC 2004: (possibly earlier?) the american & australian mario pinball land promo flash pages (author uncredited) feature a(n unpreserved) video titled "king tut", presumably in reference to this boss:
Tumblr media
JUL 2006: tutankoopa's mariowiki.com page is updated to add the claim that he is the boss in pinball land
AUG 2006: the first version of mario pinball land's mariowiki page calls the boss "tutankoopa"
some time before MAR 2007: the mario characters guide on gamefaqs by user spacepope4u conflates tutankoopa with the pinball land boss. sadly the version history is not very robust so i can't verify when this was added. references to the "egyptian koopa" name from np are also included:
Tumblr media
MAY 2007: the first version of the boss's mariowiki page is created under the name "king tut" (probably taking the name from the site above, albeit without citing it). a revision the following day adds the name "koop tut" as well. around the same time, conflation of "king tut" with tutankoopa is removed from both the tutankoopa page and the pinball land page. the "king tut" name begins to gain traction
FEB 2008: "koop tut" is removed from the mariowiki page
DEC 2009: on the wiki's talk page two users very briefly discuss whether this character should be considered the same as tutankoopa
2012: silverball studios is bought by barnstorm games (source). not really relevant but i thought it was interesting
APR 2015: a "citation needed" template is added to the "king tut" page
NOV 2015: a thread is created on super mario boards to discuss the "king tut" name situation. the name of the wiki page is changed to "egyptian koopa", following the nintendo power name above. that name proliferates on other platforms, such as this beautiful forum thread:
Tumblr media
SEPT 2019: a singular japanese deviantart user uploads fanart & refers to this character in the caption as ボスカメック ("boss kamek", thus "boss magikoopa"--notably, this is the jp name for kamella) as far as i can tell, literally nobody else has ever used this name for this character
OCT 2023: i post a video on the subject. lol
NOV 2023: warioware: move it is released: a microgame in 9-volt's stage, "mario pinball land", features an appearance by "egyptian koopa" (video). it continues to go unnamed
JUN 2025: the flash site from 2004 is rediscovered by mariowiki users: the page is renamed back to king tut in accordance with this new information
to recap the names that have been used, in the order of first extant public usage:
boss koopa (ボスノコノコ): comes from the official japanese guide site in 2004. a cursory search suggests that it's the most common name used on the japanese web (ex: pixiv, nintendo wiki, niconico, wikipedia, twitter)
tutankoopa: unofficial conflation of this boss with the paper mario character. earliest known recorded use is in the 2004 gamefaqs guide above. what the boss was called on mariowiki from 2006 to 2007. a variety of other sources have (possibly independently) furthered this conflation (ex: youtube (1, 2, 3), khinsider, gamefaqs (1, 2, forum), lemmy's land)
pharaoh koopa (ファラオノコノコ): comes from the licensed japanese shogakukan guidebook in 2004. appears in some of the "boss koopa" sources above, but only as a parenthetical. used only once in english in a fan guide, probably without referent
egyptian koopa: officially printed in nintendo power in 2004, used as the primary name on mariowiki from 2015 to 2025. widely used on the english web (ex: youtube (1, 2, 3, 4), deviantart, fandom.com, spriters resource, tvtropes)
king tut: featured on the official flash promo site in 2004. the name on mariowiki from 2007 to 2015, and again as of june 2025. can be seen online in some sources from 2015 and earlier (ex. fantendo, giantbomb, blogspot, datacrystal, youtube)
koop tut: unofficial, appeared in the body of the mariowiki page from 2007 to 2008. may have been pulled from a super show episode. not used anywhere else afaict
boss magikoopa (ボスカメック): unofficial, used by a single deviantart user in 2019

Segments of Mario dancing, from the official 1992 music video for the Super Mario Land rap by Ambassadors of Funk.
While many assume the song to be either unofficial or merely one of the many bizarre Nintendo of America-licensed projects typical of the early years of the franchise, this is not the case. The musical project to create that song, and later the entire Super Mario Compact Disco album, was greenlit by Shigeru Miyamoto personally.
