Well, I’m from germany and the german version literally says Rubin(e) and still does so in the later/newer games.  
I was pretty confused when I found out the normal spelling and pronounciation for the english versions.
 
And yeah it is extremely weird how the spelling is all over the place.

@3DRLunatic  
My inner-fanboy gets annoyed they don’t call them “rupees” like every other Zelda game.

“It’s yours my friend as long as you have enough rubies.”

@HighRollerHydra  
Yeah, I always get the name of it wrong. You can also get it in “Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s” Fireworks festival.

@Beau Skunky  
Isn’t the “Magic Hand” supposed to be called “Ultra Hand”?

@Yukimazan  
WL4 & River City Ransom are the only games I can think of now with that bit in it.
 
I like how Nintendo often references it’s obscure games/products/history in their games. In fact, that “Lego” level in “Super Mario Land 2” is actually made of N&B blocks, a Lego-like line of toy building blocks Nintendo used to make back when they were a toy/gadget/nick-nack company.  
Gunpei Yokoi’s “Magic Hand” gadget toy (which he made before inventing G&W & Gameboy) also cameos in some games like “Balloon Kid,” and “Wario Ware.”

@Beau Skunky  
Oooh, nice to know it’s an uncommon gag.
 
Yup, the shopkeeper does resemble G&W. Still surprised on the shopkeeper’s role in the game.

@Yukimazan  
They also had the “free smile” bit in some of the shops in other games like “River City Ransom.”
 
Also, ever notice the shop-keeper in WL4 looks like Mr. G&W kinda? (WL4 came out the same year as SSB Melee.)

THIS IS ANCIENT wow this game tho  
wasn’t there a minuette (not colgate but a twilight recolor with colgate’s colors) version too?

YOOWANNIT

MMMMMMMMMMMM~

Ah, faces of evil. And Trixie makes a great Morshu.

For everything else, there is Mares-tercard

They’re Eeyore’s my friend.

i will steal your smile, “tonight  
-the mysterious bastard

A smile? Is that a reference to that shopkeeper in Wario Land 4?
 
P.S Trixie is adorable as always.
