Moving this out of Trivia and removing the stub tag since it is quite literally the only notable thing about this guy. Anyone know how to fix the odd formatting?

'''Red Snake''' is a character in [[EarthBound]]. He owns a shop in [[Scaraba]]. He speaks very snakelike, extending the "S" sounds in his speech.

He speaks very snakelike, extending the "S" sounds in his speech. In the Japanese version of the game, he speaks a mix of English and Japanese. His name is actually a mistranslation stemming from this English phrasing; rather than being his name, his introduction to the player in the Japanese version is a reference to Japanese comedian Shopan Igari. Shopan's act consisted of taking a box with holes in it, tapping it with a flute, and yelling "Red snake, come on!" After saying this, a red snake puppet would come out of the hole. The localization team, not knowing the joke, mistook this for his name. | ||
