Other appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Out of all the Pokéfloats, Wooper spends the most time on-screen. It first appears when play is on Slowpoke's tail and it then floats past Sudowoodo, Snorlax, Venusaur and Seel before finally floating away from play. While its head is small, players can also stand on the gills.

Trivia

Origin

Wooper seems to be based on a larval axolotl, which have flat tails and feathery, external gills.

Name origin

Wooper's English name appears to be based directly on its Japanese name, Upah/"Wooper". Upa is drived from "Wooper Looper", a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad in Japan. Wooper Loopers (or "Upa") are the Japanese term for the larval stages of the axolotl, a species of salamander.
