Talk:Spinner

Are these really considered enemies? They seem more like mobile obstacles than a live creature, just like spikes or fireballs.--Spike 20:46, 19 October 2006 (EDT)


 * I think we should make a new category for objects that are specifically made as traps. They are not really enemies as they are purely mechanical without any independent thought processes. Perhaps a Traps and Obstacles category. -- Son of Suns

Similar obstacle
Isn't there an obsticale in DKCR in the cliffs that is like Ball'n'chains? Should we include it?--YoshiGo99 21:55, 13 March 2011 (EDT)

Not Alive
WHY, do they have a Species Infobox? THEY ARE MACHINES. Mustard of Doom. It's what's for dinner. BA-DUM-BUM.


 * It's not just a species box a lot of objects have them

Two questions.
First: The Ball 'n' Chain has a Japanese name? Second: Where do you get the names of enemies? Is there some game that has the names or it's from other sources?--Deruffy 12:59, 5 May 2012 (EDT)

Pretty much all enemies have Japanese names, as the series is from Japan and few Mario games haven't been released there. Also, the names of enemies are usually found in other sources.

NSMBU Ball 'n' Chains, old or new
I recently finnished New Super Luigi U and I noticed a very special thing about the Ball'n'Chains in that game. Not only are the spiked balls connected to a spiked arm instead of chains and move in pendulum-like manner but apperently both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U calls them Pendulums (Pendulum Castle, Impossible Pendulums). So this obstacle might not only looks similar to the Ball'n'Chains but can actually be a completely new obstacle called Pendulums. If that´s the case we should make a new page about them, or what do you guys think.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Per proposal.
 * 3) Per proposal.

Oppose

 * This proposal does not make sense, we are talking of the same object, the appearance is identical. Based on this proposal should create separate pages for each color of the Koopa Troopa, and the like, so then if we think that we should create separate pages for each of the ScareScraper ghost prcedente reversing a proposal. I am against and I sincerely hope that this proposal is not accepted.
 * 1) The wiki does not make articles about the same thing under a different name.
 * 2) Per Sonic98

Coments
Aside from the level names, does New Super Luigi U directly refer to these as pendulums? 13:03, 13 August 2013 (EDT)
 * No, and besides, Pendulum Castle is a New Super Mario Bros. U level, so both games refer to them as pendulums. 20:37, 13 August 2013
 * Hm, I'm convinced. Still, are there any Ball 'n' Chains from the previous games that act like pendulums? 18:25, 13 August 2013 (EDT)

Name is "Spinner". 

I explained what sense does it make voting to create different pages for each name the same enemy? It would make more sense to create separate pages for each of the boss ScareScraper that at least queli are different.--Sonic98 (talk) 07:22, 16 August 2013 (EDT)
