Trivia
- Kuribo is an actual character: he is fought in Mario & Luigi: Bowser Inside Story along with three other Sockops. However, only his name was mentioned, and he was an extremely minor character due to this. Thus, he is considered a fan-character by his creator.
- Kuribo has the same name as the japenese name of Goombas. This is a reference to Goomba Shoes, which were named Kuribo's Shoe in Super Mario Bros. 3.
