I do definitely recommend making Autorooper, Autolooper and Autrooper all redirect to the same entry, though, whatever is ultimately settled on.

Shouldn't this be at "Autorooper"? That's the name on the box, and it's not really as if "Autrooper" is objectively better. "Autrooper" doesn't complete the "auto" part, and "Autorooper" relies on a mispelling of "trooper", so I'd say they're about equal, if not the fact that Autorooper is the one on the box.

"AW-troo-per". Or "OH-troo-per" if you want to pronounce it more like the Japanese version.
