>Hinopio, that toad NPC in the Barrel Volcano. He's a fairly insignificant character but
I remember being a kid and being vaguely aware of Toad's Japanese name being Kinopio (I think I read it in a gaming magazine back in the day), and thought it was kind of cool that there was a guy named Hinopio... Then years later I got into the Sailor Moon fandom, found out that "Hino" means "of fire" and I finally got it that, "oooh, Hinopio is like Toad-of-fire!"

Also every kid back in the day understood that "kero" was onamotapeia for frog sounds, I mean what little girl didn't love Sanrio?

I knew that "yari" was a type of spear, anyone who was a fan of Ninja Turtles in the 90's (read: literally everyone) would know this.

90's kids were a lot sharper than you're giving us credit for.
