Move to "Dash (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)"?[edit]
Currently, we use the Prima name, Fire Tickle. Right next to it is the Nintendo Power name, Dash. Isn't it in our naming policy to use Nintendo Power names over names from other official guides? This name is even used in-game in the 3DS remake (although I'm aware that it sometimes uses shortened or abbreviated names), which is actually listed as top priority on our naming policy page! Yes, I understand that we already have a Dash page, so we would have to use a game identifier. While I know that names without identifiers are preferred...that didn't stop us from giving the NSMBW worlds the generic in-game names instead of the more distinct Prima names (World 1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii) instead of Princess Peach's Kingdom), did it?
I also ask that Thunder Tickle (Prima name) be moved to either Shuffle (Nintendo Power name) or Tickle (3DS remake in-game name) for similar reasons, only that it has two names to choose from and that neither one is taken already. -YFJ (talk · edits) 10:41, April 19, 2019 (EDT)
- I'm for moving this to Dash.

Move to "Fire Dash"[edit]
In the 3DS remake, in the Guide, then Field Actions, there is an entry named Fire Dash. The in-game text for its first page is:
Change the Action Icon to Dash, and then hold and release the
Button to Fire Dash.
This sentence seems like proof that the name of this move is Fire Dash, not Dash. The name Dash is actually referring to the name of the Action Icon used to start the move. In the Mario & Luigi series, actions are done by first selecting the Action Icon associated with the move, and seeing this Dash/Fire Dash split is what made me finally notice that an Action Icon and the move it executes may not share a name. For another example of this, the Spin Jump is done by changing the Action Icon to Spin, but the Mario & Luigi Spin Jump's article is not at Spin because the game makes the name of that move very clear. On the wiki, Tickle is another subject that likely needs a move to Thunder Tickle for the same reason, which I will explain at Talk:Tickle. --Spencer PK (talk) 23:25, January 10, 2026 (EST)
