==Trivia==

*Rubees may have been named after combining Rubies with Rupees, the currency in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series (which ~~were named after the currency~~ of ~~India~~). Further comparing the two is the fact that they both resemble oblong ~~octagonal~~ gems. However, Rupees come in many colors and denominations, while Rubees only come in red. Rubees are also almost identical to the gem treasures of ''[[Wikipedia:Clu Clu Land|Clu Clu Land]]'', which some have theorized that Rupees were based on. The similar appearance and implied purpose to Rupees may have been deliberate, and the name Rubees may have been a reference to their misspelling in the original ''Legend of Zelda'', also being called Rubees.

*Rubees may have been named after combining Rubies with Rupees, the currency in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series (which get their name from a misspelling of "ruby"). Further comparing the two is the fact that they both resemble oblong hexagonal gems. However, Rupees come in many colors and denominations, while Rubees only come in red.

*[[Flipside Token|Flipside Tokens]] greatly resemble Rubees.
