Japanese names

We don't do this sort of thing elsewhere, so should we really have these Japanese names for everything in this article as well? Nightwicked Bowser 08:51, February 14, 2021 (EST)

Yeah It'd be a great to idea to not include the names here and have them go into a separate page like List of sticker names in other languages. (talk) 12:12, February 16, 2021 (EST)

I agree with giving them a separate page, since we also have List of Power Moon names in other languages. Mario JC 22:58, February 16, 2021 (EST)

Create "not World" articles for each Giga Bell

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

So, Bowser's Fury is a weird game. It's 12 islands (level equivalents) are grouped by the wiki into 3 groups of 4, corresponding to a Giga Bell. You can see this grouping on Bowser's Fury#Locations. But the groups don't have articles, so its meaningfully harder to navigate between the islands of Bowser's Fury compared to every other level equivalent in every other Mario game. This article wings it by putting links to all 12 islands in text in the Lake Lapcat#Islands section, but this is hardly a substitute.

I suggest taking a different approach. Why can't we have articles called Lakeside Giga Bell, Ruins Giga Bell, and Wasteland Giga Bell, as per what the game displays when near these items as a location name and valid save point? These articles would talk about the bell, the color of the pedestal, the surrounding area... Most importantly, they would have a table linking to the four islands of that region just like a world article. Except that they would use Template:Location infobox, not Template:World infobox, and they wouldn't have Category:Worlds. Hence, the joke of them being "not World" articles, with all the function of a World article but with none of the classification that implies. Thus, the Lake Lapcat article would be allowed to be more like Dinosaur Land, Sarasaland, and Flower Kingdom by linking to these Giga Bell articles in a list or table.

Note that we're already pretending Lakeside, Ruins, and Wastelands are proper noun location names despite the game never saying so. as in the sentence, "Each Giga Bell has four major islands surrounding it, which altogether comprise each of three major regions: the Lakeside, Ruins, and Wasteland" on Giga Bell. (A naive google search turns up no results for "Lakeside" "Ruins" or "Wasteland" on Nintendo.com, so short of English language non-website paratext I'm not aware of we shouldn't be calling the areas "Lakeside" "Ruins" or "Wasteland".) So in one sense, we're already doing what I'm suggesting, just with names that are less official and without making articles. Salmancer (talk) 16:56, December 29, 2025 (EST)

the real question is, what organizational benefit does this have? seems to me like needlessly splitting information up. — eviemaybe (talk) 01:55, February 13, 2026 (UTC)
