His name comes from the words "wispy" (meaning fine, feathery, or delicate), a term often used to describe plants and trees, and "whisper" (meaning to speak softly with one's breath), which reflects the wind-based attacks he utilizes. Because of this, his name is occasionally misspelled as either "Wispy Woods" (as in ''Kirby's Pinball Land'') or "Whisper Woods" (as in ''Super Smash Bros.'' for the Nintendo 64). | |||
