Probopass is based on the {{wp|pukau}}-wearing {{wp|moai}} statues of {{wp|Easter Island}} and a compass magnet with iron filings attached to it. It also likely draws some inspiration from the kid's toy {{wp|Wooly Willy}}, which uses metal filings moved with a magnetic stylus to draw hair and facial hair on 'Willy.' It could also be said to pay homage to {{smw|Mario}}. All of Probopass's noses are like the needles in a compass, with the big nose pointing North (as in some compasses where the North needle is the biggest), and the mini-noses pointing to the East, South, and West, respectively.
