Talk:Goal Pole

I always thought it was a skull, and the remakes in Super Mario All-Stars clearly indicate that it is a skull. This skull likely represents that a fort or castle is under the control of the Koopa Troop. When Mario brings the flag down, he is performing a symbolic gesture signifying Bowser's rule in this location is over. -- Son of Suns

Hmmm... you're probably right. You can add that if you want. 14:36, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

Aren't flagpoles in SMG and SMG2? Revenge Of Kurbio (talk) 19:29, 4 August 2012 (EDT)

They are but don't work like these. They I think only appear in Throwback and Bowser's Galaxy Generator.

Move Flagpole to Goal Pole
It's the newer name. According to this, we should always use the newer name.

Support

 * 1) Per above.

Oppose

 * 1) Thinking about Queen Bee and Star, I don't know. The Flagpole's old name can be remained like this. Even newer names are born after a recent release of a new game, we often keep the old name which we are used to the most.
 * 2) this proposal  sets a precedent that we should use the most commonly used name which in this case would be flag pole.
 * 3) Per Raven Effect, at first I was undecided, but this comment tipped me to oppose.

Hmmm this one is tough, I can't decide, you've both made good arguments. At this point I am 50.01/49.99 for support. August 21 2012 8:25 (EDT)
