Talk:Mini Chomp

Wikipedia Japan lists these as ミニワンワン Mini Wan Wan. That's at least a non-conjectural name, right? Vent 14:46, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

I'd also like to point out that their SMG2 section lists an enemy called ちびワンワン Chibi Wan Wan but doesn't the aforementioned ミニワンワン Mini Wan Wan. Think they could be different enemies? Vent 17:00, 28 May 2012 (EDT)


 * There is also the German name present in the "Name in other languages" section which is official. We should rename the page to the clearest name. 15:00, 30 December 2012 (EST)
 * Plus, "Chomp Pup" is not distinguish enough. 10:31, 31 December 2012 (EST)

i Would call it a Mini Chomp! -Mariokid

Name
The SMG Prima guide calls the Chomp Pups simply "Chomps": "When Mario reaches the ramp with the switches, dozens of Chomps stream out of the little houses. The Chomps roll down the ramp, trying to run Mario off the field." (page 271) It's the closest to an official name we have, but "Chomp (small)" or something doesn't seem right.
 * The SMG2 Prima guide also refers to them as "small Chomps" while the regular Chomps are "big Chomps": "To reach the Launch Star, you must jump across the platform with the small Chomps and slip over the main line of big Chomps." (page 162)
 * Could this just be merged with Chomp? There aren't really any significant differences besides size. Niiue (talk) 02:57, 15 December 2015 (EST)
 * That would be inconsistent with the dozens and dozens of articles we currently have based on something being larger or smaller than it usually is. Just search "Big ", "Small ", or "Mini ", and you'll get a decent idea.
 * Except those are officially considered different enemies. The only official info we have treats these the same as regular Chomps.
 * EDIT: Just noticed the other thing you quoted calling them "small Chomps". Could that be considered an official name since there isn't really anything else? Niiue (talk) 09:53, 28 December 2015 (EST)
