Conjectural name? -- Son of Suns

yup. I  am   Confused  22:29, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

The SMW mines are called Floating Mines by Mario Mania, the official strategy guide.--Platform 11:27, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * If they were officially called "Floating Mimes", then surely the article ought to be moved to that name? 94.197.121.25 11:48, 14 October 2014 (EDT)

Mine Fish?
You'll never guess!!! You know those Mines in the Cosmic cove galaxy? when i got to their right, it turned and revealed it had eyes!!! Do you think it's not really a mine and another enemy? i've got a pic!!!

COSMIcPikMIN & Items

p.s.:Also we could not blow them instantly with Co-Star Luma!!!

These could be just another type of "living mine", as a Thwomp is to a cinder block. And yes, Thwomps are techically animate, but these could be too.

Star Bit Mines?

The Mines in the Slimy Spring Galaxy, just above the first underwater segment, give 3 Star Bits when shot, in a manner similar to Slurples and Topminis.

Why move the page to "Mine"?
In the beginning of the article, there's a template for a suggestion of renaming the article to just Mine, but why? Literally the first topic in this Talk page talks about how Floating Mine is its official name.-- 17:24, February 3, 2021 (EST)
 * Because "floating mine" hasn't been used in years, not all of them float, and simply "mine" is more common. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:01, February 3, 2021 (EST)
 * According to LinkTheLefty (who added the template) it's parsed "floating Mine" on page 58, and the page 52 ref is in all caps. Based on that, the "floating" part is just a descriptive adjective rather than part of the name and it should have been simply "Mine" all along. 14:49, February 5, 2021 (EST)


 * I agree with moving it to 'mine' if it's going to incorporate every other kind of mine.

 * Maybe the "Spiny" from Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix (if that's the case, should the article be "Spiny (object)" or is there a more recent instance of "mine"?) ? LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:25, September 26, 2021 (EDT)
