Conjectural name[edit]
I believe "ice pineapple" is not a decent conjectural name for this subject. An obstacle somewhat resembling something else is not the same thing as an obstacle intentionally designed to be something else. This is a round iceberg which conveys the idea of a buoy, with a spiky top because it is a hazard to be avoided. This causes it to superficially resemble a pineapple, because that is also a round thing with a spiky top. But that does not make it a pineapple made out of ice, so "ice pineapple" doesn't really fit here. Additionally, it has a seamless transition where its sides slowly become spikier, forming the top. This is very much unlike a pineapple, which has a noticeable crown growing from the center of its top. I think something like "floating ice" or "ice chunk" or something along those lines would be a better name. — Lady Sophie_17

- Well, I named it that because when I played the game, these things did look like pineapples to me. However, looking the image that Nintendo101 put in the infobox, they don't really look like pineapples at all. Maybe "spiky iceberg" or something similar would work?
