That boss is a clearly spoof of mangá and anime series Mazinger Z created by Go Nagai.

You may want to elaborate on that, as next to none of us are familiar with that, and my quick research says it has to do with super robots. I don't know how a single boss is a spoof of an entire anime/manga. Iqskirby (talk) 02:21, November 26, 2017 (UTC)

That's a spoof of the titular mecha, not entire series.[]

Mazinger Z is a giant robot which must be piloted by attaching an aircraft named the 'Pilder".

The way which King Dedede uses his own aircraft to pilot Dededestroyer Z is pretty much how Kouji Kabuto does to pilot Mazinger Z.

The "Z" made the spoof rather obvious despite already featuring similarities in function.

The name and reference were removed?[]

There was a trivia about the character name, but it seems that someone edited out.

But, as I said the character is a spoof of Mazinger Z super robot of the series of same name.

Even the way which is piloted is similar to the way which Mazinger Z is piloted.

Having just browsed through this page's history, I didn't find any mention on the Trivia about Mazinger Z on this page. But if it actually was there, and just isn't showing due to some technical difficulties, just add it back. Probably drop a few links to Wikipedia and/or the Wikia of the series you're talking about so you can strengthen the point you're trying to make as well when doing so. Meta Kirby52 Return of the Riderz Revenge. This won't be pretty. 03:23, February 18, 2018 (UTC)
