Title screen
The title screen was changed, for some reason.
And I always thought the designers were drunk...
The second level of the Pumpkin Zone is filled with many odd looking creatures, some of which are based on monsters from Japanese folklore. For the explanations below, please refer to the following picture:
1. |
The Japanese are fond of personifying objects like lanterns into obake (goblins), like the one you see here. |
2. |
These guys are known as Hitotsume Kozoo (one-eyed boys). They appear in many folk and children's stories as mischievous, but not particularly scary creatures that are often quite humorous. |
3. |
Another personified object, the Kasa no Obake (umbrella goblin) is a scary creature that is said to float into your room at night through an open window. As you sleep, the obake will stare at you with its one eye and haunt you in your dreams. |
4. |
These fireball monsters usually appear by either being created by or appearing around spirits and goblins and are used to light their way. |
