No, not here. My only other aliases at this point are Nadir Zenith, The Evil Avator, Scrappy-Doo, Bag of Magic Food, and Big Tobacco.

It's what the Maximum Tomato was mistranslated to in the manual to Kirby's Dream Land. See, on the Game Boy, there's no red color to tip off the manual writers, so I guess they just said, "Hmm, it looks like a bag, and it's got an M on it, so... Maybe it's a BAG full of Magical food! Kirby likes food!" Personally, I think the original sprite looks more like a ladybug than either a bag or a tomato, so I probably would have mistranslated it as something like "The Mighty Ladybug of HP Restoration". I also heard that the "Mint Leaf" item is actually a sweet potato. Huh.
But then Super Smash Brothers goes and uses terms like "Maxim Tomato" and "Whisper Woods"...
