When are they actually called Chain Shroomps? You never directly attack them, therefore you don't know their name. Kobble 19:52, 19 July 2008 (EDT)

Strategy Guide, maybe? (I don't know either) --Blitzwing 13:43, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

Merge?[edit]

I feel this content should be merged with Elder Princess Shroob. This subject is really just an element of one of her unnamed attacks. It's not an independent enemy or even officially named. -- Son of Suns (talk)

I agree. BLOC PARTIER.
True. SJ derp :P
I agree, because it's like the X-Fists and Magnus von Grapple, it's just part of it's attack. Paperphailurethemariomonster99

Possible Japanese name[edit]

So, a number of Japanese websites on the game refer to this thing as "ギャンギャン" (Gyangyan), and the use of this name seems pretty consistent. The issue is, I can't find a source for it since IIRC it's never actually named in-game. Does anyone know if there's a Japanese guide or something that might be a potential source of this name?

For what it's worth, I have managed to trace the name back to the Japanese Wikipedia, where it was added back in 2013 by a user that seems to be very dedicated. There's still no source, but it seems unlikely they would've made it up. — Lady Sophie Wiggler Sophie.png (T|C) 21:37, December 17, 2023 (EST)
