I just watched this old Boy Meets World episode (the one where they go to the quiz bowl or whatever) and I felt the need to report that Mr. Feeny seems to have some knowledge of Japanese games, as he yells (I paraphrase)...
"YOU THRIVE TO DEFEAT KING KOOPA AND SAVE THE PRINCESS, BUT NOT TO FOCUS ON YOUR STUDIES! SHAME ON YOU"
*bell rings, everyone gets up*
"SIT DOWN. FOR THE FIRST TIME, I WALK OUT ON YOU."
*leaves very dramatically*
My point is that as of this episode, I'm pretty sure King Koopa was no longer King Koopa...but rather, Bowser. I just felt the need to post it, to give some sort of odd impression to you that I am to be considered observant.
