So, are these things alive? Binks 22:33, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Are the Thwomp versions officially named Tox Boxes? If so, no problem. If not, we may want to consider splitting the article into a new page, even if it has a conjectural name. -- P.S. "Thwomp Box"...perhaps?

Thwomp versions? The Super Mario Galaxy Boxes are the same as the SM64 boxes. Just updated to have a more distinct look. I don't have sources for that statement though. 17:24, 6 January 2013 (EST)

"Their name may be intended to sound like 'Toy Box'"? What significance does this "trivia" entry have? I know people commonly mistake "Tox Box" for "Toy Box" upon first reading it, but if these things are toy boxes, they belong in Yume Nikki or some other surreal game of the sort. This item of trivia has no support or relevance to me, so should it be removed? User:8BrickMario

Potential replacement?
I'm not actually suggesting a split, but isn't the SMG one a replacement of the original one? Yes, i know that some returning enemies are off-model, but the two don't even look similar. Well, for the Bomp, it is not drastic either, as the Throwback Galaxy uses it as the Pushy Walls. -- 12:28, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * The design was replaced, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the trivia previously suggesting that the enemy itself was replaced. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:13, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * Regarding the Bomp, it does look similar, and like i said, the Throwback Galaxy (which is based on Bob Omb Battlefield) used them as the Pushy Walls, so they can stay merged. (perhaps asking to Nintendo would settle thing, but i think it is a dumb idea) -- 13:23, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * What do the Prima guides say about them? -- 13:31, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * They are called Tox Boxes in the SMG2 Prima guide. TheDarkStar (talk) 13:33, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * Also called Tox Boxes on the SMG collector's card for them. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:03, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * As the SMG and SMG2 Tox Boxes are called Tox Boxes they are definitely the same enemies as the Tox Boxes in SM64, they just got redesigned. (Them having different names in different game sections in the Super Mario Bros. Hyakka: Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook  is most likely an error due to their different designs, as the Tox Boxes in both games act the same). 14:29, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * That said, I do wonder which version was used by Shigeru Miyamoto in that interview (it could even have been the nondescript "Onimasu"). LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:36, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * @Doomhiker Not necessarily, remember the situation with Tweester. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:47, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * @Doc von Schmeltwick True, however one of the main reasons the Tweesters were split is because they had different functions, while these Tox Boxes act exactly the same. 14:50, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * Not "exactly," but admittedly much more similar than the Tweesters. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:53, 28 February 2019 (EST)
 * [[media:SMP page 58-59 excerpt.jpg|I've found a scan of two Super Mario Pia pages]], and which supports them being separate enemies, note how it doesn't list it in SM64, while they are listed only Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, supporting them being different enemies, and that the Super Mario Galaxy ones are used as replacement. I considered to ask to Mister Wu, but eventually found scans. -- 11:39, 1 March 2019 (EST)
