Talk:Screwtop Shroom

The description of one of the bonus videos in NSMBU Deluxe calls these "Screwtop Shrooms", would that not count as an official English name? It's an ingame source and the context and capitalisation clearly presents it as a name and not just a description in my opinion.

I didn't just change it because a) I'm pretty inexperienced and not sure how! and b) I noticed "Screwtop Shroom" was already a redirect so I don't know if someone was aware of the name and it was decided not to use it for whatever reason. --Tmjjmt (talk) 18:42, May 22, 2022 (EDT)

According to the history, Screwtop Shroom was thought to be a conjectural name. It was just a fake name used by the page's creator, so when the page got renamed, Screwtop Shroom became a redirect. Could you tell me which video uses it? Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 01:43, May 23, 2022 (EDT)
Not sure if it's official, but this video's description uses the name. Blinker (talk) 10:23, May 23, 2022 (EDT)
Apparently, it's the game's official YouTube channel, so I'd say that counts. It should be moved back. And it's in the Deluxe version as well? LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:05, May 23, 2022 (EDT)
That is indeed the video, just for the record here's a pic of the name being used in-game https://imgur.com/a/mlSj26C (apologies for the picture quality, for some reason you can't take screenshots in that menu) Tmjjmt (talk) 12:59, May 23, 2022 (EDT)
Thanks. These video descriptions may need a comb-through sometime in case there's any others that were missed. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:29, May 23, 2022 (EDT)
No problem! There was one other I noticed, what's currently referred to here as a "Swinging Hammer" is called "Hammer Pendulum" in another description: https://imgur.com/a/8Eca5rM It looks like the former name is from a guide whereas the latter is ingame so is that worth bringing up on the relevant talkpage?

So this would be a new video that doesn't appear in the original New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U, right? In-game names take priority over other sources, so the article title would be changed, but assuming it doesn't appear in Wii U material, it should still be used for its New Super Mario Bros. Wii appearance since it's the earlier name. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:50, May 23, 2022 (EDT)
Afraid I'd have no idea on that, I only have the Switch version. This might be best left to someone with the Wii U version to check I guess Tmjjmt (talk) 18:58, May 23, 2022 (EDT)
Double-checked, the original New Super Mario Bros. U doesn't seem to have any bonus videos-this was something added to the bundled re-release with New Super Luigi U-so I think it's safe say it comes from that or Deluxe. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:14, May 23, 2022 (EDT)
