Talk:Snifit Patrol

Official Name
I think the official name is actually Snifit Police because that's the name used in the Virtual console version of Mario Party 2 so should we move the page to that?

Change name from Snufit Police to Snifit Police
LEAVE AS IS 2-5

I believe that we should rename this page Snifit Police because while most of the copies of Mario Party 2 for the N64 called them Snufit Police some called them Snifit Police and more importantly the virtual console version of Mario Party 2 calls them Snifit Police therefore I believe that, that is the official name and that, that should be the name of the page.

Support

 * 1) If I was going to oppose this right off the bat why would I make it?
 * 2) per shoey

Oppose

 * : But they're Snufits, not Snifits. Snifit Police is just a translation error because the two enemies have the same Japanese name (apparently).
 * 1)  Right on the page, this is what it says: "In some copies of Mario Party 2, the Snufit Police are mistakenly called the Snifit Police or the Snifit Patrol." Boom. In black and white. We can't change it because it's not the right name. Snufit Police IS the right name.
 * 2)  Per Cool(However many O's there are, I'm not counting).
 * 3)  Snufits are flying heads, Snifits are walking Shy Guys. The Snufit Police is composed of flying heads (=snufits).
 * 4)  Shoey, is this a joke or something, per all.

@1337star How do you know they are Snufit's? because the original version of Mario party 2 said they were (which I've personally never seen because the only Mario Party cartridge called them Snifit Police which is what the latest version of Mario Party 2 (which is to the best of my knowledge a straight emulation of Mario Party 2) called them snifit police.

@Vommack There's five. ^w^

Change name from Snufit Police to Snifit Police
Alright let's try this again. In Mario Party 2 these characters apparently have two English names with some copies of Mario Party 2 calling them Snufit Police and some calling them Snifit Police (although I've never actually seen a copy that calls them Snufit Police). But the virtual console version of Mario Party 2 calls them Snifit Police therefore in accordance with this proposal [|1] they should be called Snifit Police because that is not only the most recent name used but the name for the Virtual Console version.

Support

 * 1) Per all
 * 2) Per policy, proposal, Virtual Console version and all other stuff.
 * 3) It's not like we have some long standard of Sn(i/u)fit Police throughout the series in order to compare the name between games. Thus, the most recent name is the most relevant, as going by policy and the standard set by the other proposal.
 * 4) Per proposal
 * 5) Per proposal.
 * 6) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) I'm saying no, because even if the policy says so, it's a translation error. Nintendo might have chosen the wrong copy, I don't know. However, this is not like the proposal you mentioned. This is a debate that's more like, "Do all female Toads look similar to Toadette, or do some look like regular Toads?". There's so little evidence, we need another source to confirm this.
 * 2) (weak oppose) That the Snufit article exists, and that the enemies in this article resemble those so-called Snufits, and that there is some suggestion that Snufits and Snifits are intended to be the same enemy, I'm opposing this proposal until there is a way to address the Snufit/Snifit naming problem. Otherwise, this breaks the consistency and may make readers confused.
 * 3) Per Mario.
 * 4) Per Mario.
 * 5) Per Mario.

Just wanted to note, while Snifits have black masks Snufits have white ones, proving those are Snufits. Still I don't want to remove my support as Sinift Police is the most recent name.
