Talk:Giant Spiked Nut

Include Juicy Jungle fruits?

This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

On page 26 of the Prima guide, under GIANTSPIKEDNUT: "A form of this type of hazard is introduced in the third island and will become a headache-inducing nuisance. These large spiked nuts drop from trees and roll towards you, with the intention of filling you full of holes. They cannot be destroyed by any means, so leap over the obstacles and continue on your way as best you can." The introductory sentence suggests that the hazard continues to make appearances in the game in some form. It's not the same form - the ones in Juicy Jungle are rounder and encountered in different ways - but the guide later refers to both the baobob and jungle versions as "spiked fruits" when covering their respective levels, not nuts. Perhaps rename the article to "spiked fruit" and expand the scope to include these other fruits? LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:01, January 6, 2023 (EST)

I'm taking "A form of this type of hazard" to mean "rolling, round, spiky obstacles [editor note: which you'd already encounter by that point in the game] appear in world 3 in the form of these baobab nuts". I don't see how that quoted passage makes any reference to future worlds: we can restrict "will become a headache-inducing nuisance" to the sole level these obstacles appear in. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 13:44, January 7, 2023 (EST)

The way it's phrased just seems a little odd to me when they otherwise only appear in a single level, but I'll drop it if no one else thinks so. The later fruits still seem article-worthy, though, and they're still referred to with the same term (Ice Balls not being fuit). LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:00, January 7, 2023 (EST)
