Talk:Volcanic debris

Title
Is the title of this article conjectural? Or is it actually called this somewhere in-game or in a manual.


 * It's not even mentioned in both the game and the manual. It's conjectural.
 * Does this even deserve an article?
 * Uh, yeah it does, It's an obstacle that appears in two games. So it should still have it's own article.
 * Per YDfan1.
 * You could call it Tephra, which means volcanic rock...
 * good then put on a conjectural template. A Link to the Present 15:46, 17 February 2011 (EST)
 * How about "Meteors". The name was featured in the first level in Peach's Castle and it definately sounds better than Raining Debris.
 * Except "meteors" apply to space rocks that have entered a planet, not pyroclastic matter. The name we have at this moment is clunky, however. Unless this "meteor" name has made more appearances than just this level, we don't use it. 22:40, 17 December 2013 (EST)
 * Another alternative is "Firefall" (the name is mentioned in both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U). I (of course) ain't sure if it's official, but that's all I got.

Hey
I know that this is a random Question but, Debris is always pronounced with a silent "S", right?
 * I think so, but you should look it up if you really want to know. Don't put the pronunciation on the article (if that's why you're asking): we don't do that on this wiki. - 20:15, 11 February 2011 (EST)

Official Name
They didn't have a official name? I thought on New Super Mario Bros. U, they were name Meteor... If someone can find a good source. Do IGN is a good source, I'm not sure?-- 19:34, 10 April 2015 (EDT)


 * The New Super Mario Bros. U Prima guide uses the name "Bowser's Flames", though there's a clear distinction between the New Super Mario Bros. U ones that are fireballs and the falling rocks seen in every other game, even if they have the same general purpose.:-Toa 95 (talk)
 * Ok, thank you, I will look if there's any source for New Super Mario Bros. 2.-- 19:42, 10 April 2015 (EDT)
 * NSMB2 Prima flip-flops between "debris," "falling debris," and "volcanic debris," while NSMBU Prima uses "Bowser's Flames," which isn't really applicable since that's just Bowser's fire breath Toa edit conflicted me and said exactly what I wanted to say grumblegrumble  . Unless we have insight into the NSMBW Prima guide, that may be about as good of an answer that you'll get.
 * OK, Thank You Time Turner!-- 19:46, 10 April 2015 (EDT)

In the article, it say they appear in Paper Mario: Sticker Star and they are known as Meteors, should we move the article to that name?-- 13:49, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

Meteor, the official name?
In the article, it say - In Paper Mario: Sticker Star they are known as meteors. I put template for reference. It make me remember also that the first level of Peach's Castle in New Super Mario Bros. U was name Meteor Moat. Maybe meteor is the official name?-- 06:52, 15 May 2015 (EDT)
 * Meteor Moat certainly adds credence to the idea that Meteor is the official name. Even if we don't have a quote handy at the moment (I'm sure Kersti or another NPC mentions it), I'd almost suggest simply renaming this to Meteor with the tag since it's there's at least a bit more evidence than the current name. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:06, 18 May 2015 (EDT)
 * The only problem is there's already exist a article name Meteor. What I think is that Meteor and Raining Debris are the same . I will make a Proposal to merge Raining Debris with Meteor and we will see if it Passed. What you think about it?-- 14:03, 19 May 2015 (EDT)
 * The meteors of the Super Mario Galaxy games look and act the same as the ones from Paper Mario: Sticker Star and the New Super Mario Bros. series, and also seem to be named from an in-game level source (Through the Meteor Storm), so I'd say go for it.

Merge Raining Debris with Meteor
They are mostly name meteor in some recent games. In New Super Mario Bros. U, there is a level name Meteor Moat, despite the fact, that in New Super Mario Bros. U this is mostly Bowser's fireball. As the article say, in Paper Mario: Sticker Star they are known as meteors despite a reference would be necessary. In general, the meteors of the Super Mario Galaxy games look and act the same as the ones from Paper Mario: Sticker Star and the New Super Mario Bros. series, and also seem to be named from an in-game level from Super Mario Galaxy, Through the Meteor Storm. It make evidences they are the same.

Support

 * 1) Per my proposal.
 * 2) Per Proposal
 * 3) Per proposal.
 * 4) Per popsicle.
 * 5) Per all 4!

Oppose

 * 1) They may be meteors in NSMBU, sure. But what about the other games mentioned here, where the "raining debris" is clearly volcanic in origin? Calling them all "meteors" grossly misrepresents most of the instances on this page.
 * 2) Per 1337.
 * 3) Per 1337star.
