Title: Origin of TP Man in MM

This definitely explains one of the game's more bizarre characters (sorry if this is common knowledge)

TOKYO (AP) In a country where ghosts are traditionally believed to hide in the loo, a Japanese company is advertising a new literary experience a horror story printed on toilet paper. Each roll carries several copies of a new nine-chapter novella written by Koji Suzuki, the Japanese author of the horror story "Ring," which has been made into movies in both Japan and Hollywood.
...
Toilets in Japan were traditionally tucked away in a dark corner of the house due to religious beliefs. Parents would tease children that a hairy hand might pull them down into the dark pool below.

How is it that Tingle has his own game, but not TP MAN? It's like they purposely flush their best IPs down the memory hole.

Everytime you think things can't get any weirder, Japan finds a way to top itself.

So under each Japanese toilet, GoHobo is waiting to pull victims down into his pool of despair.

A TP Man Adventure game would redefine 'waggle-fest', not to mention the boxart

*sits on toilet, unrolls toilet paper and begins to read*

"...just as you heard the splash in the water below, you begin to relax. Thats when a muffled blood curdling scream is heard as what you just dropped in the the water begins to flail around making more splashing noises. Just as you go to jump of the toilet, you feel it.... its trying to climb back inside..."

*quickly rolls toilet paper back up, and leaves bathroom without saying a word*
