It could also be an homage to [[Nintendo]]'s mascot {{smw|Mario}}. All of Probopass's noses are like the needles in a {{wp|Compass Rose}}, 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. The design of the mini-noses are based on {{wp|Tangata manu}}, {{wp|Makemake (deity)}} or probably in a group of Moai resembling an Ahu. | ||
