Naming[edit]
"Starry Shell Spike" is an alliterative name that combines the three parts of the move: "Starry" for Peach's star, "shell" for Bowser's shell spin, and "spike" for Mario kicking Bowser from the air to the ground. The Japanese, Chinese, and Korean names are all similar regarding forming the name from the parts of the move, but call more attention to the star making Bowser invincible than to the star itself.
