- "Oh- but let's be clear. I AIN'T a pig. These aren't nostrils. They're my eyes! So don't let any thoughts of bacon dance in your heads when you look my way, got it?"
- —Snoutlet denies being a pig during his introduction scene in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Snoutlet is a supporting character who makes his debut in Mario & Luigi: Brothership.
Profile[]
Physical Appearance[]
Snoutlet has a pink body and four stubby legs ending in white feet. He has a yellow face with two holes that seem to be his eyes, with the face itself looking like either a pig nose or a two-pronged electrical outlet. His back has birdlike wings that let him fly, and his tail is cylindrical and has a yellow tip.
Personality[]
Despite his appearance, Snoutlet angrily denies being a pig more frequently than not. He serves a role similar to Starlow in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
Behind the Scenes[]
Name[]
Snoutlet takes his name from the word "snout" (referencing his face's resemblance to a pig's nose) and "outlet" (given his face also resembles an electrical outlet).
Nomenclature[]
In Japanese, Snoutlet is called Tabbū (written タッブー), derived from tappu (Japanese transliteration of "tap"; written タップ) and būbū (a Japanese onomatopoeia for oinking; written ブーブー). In Spanish, he is called Porcopolo, from puerco ("pig") and "Marco Polo." His Portuguese name, Pligue, comes from plugue, a translation of "plug" merged with the English word "pig." Italian calls him Presus, derived from presa, which can mean "outlet." His French name is Couchomb, from "coulomb" (a unit measuring electric charge) and cochon (a translation of "pig"). In Dutch, he is called Trufvolt (from Dutch truffel meaning "truffle" referencing truffle hogs and the English word "volt"). His German name, Wattz, comes from "Watt" (a unit of power).
