==Trivia==
[[File:PMTTYD JP How Many Feet Pun.png|thumb|250px|The pun]]
*In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' in [[Water Land]], on the island where the [[castle]] is, the island is shaped like Japan. Also, the castle is located right where the Nintendo of Japan Headquarters in Kyoto would be if the island were really Japan.
*In the Japanese version of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Question 3 in the [[66th Annual Quirk Quiz]] has the choices "４本" (4 feet), "６本" (6 feet), "８本" (8 feet), and "日本," where "日本" looks similar to the previous choices that make sense but means Japan. Its English version is "4 feet, 6 feet, 8 feet, Defeat."
