Talk:Metal Box

Pics?
Can we get pics of the people from Brawl and Melee in metal form, along with Metal Mario from SM64, Metal Mario from SSB, and Metal Wario from SM64DS? Jdrawer 13:23, 5 February 2012 (EST)

Merge with Exclamation Mark Block
Why does this one have its own article?

(please format, this is a TPP.)


 * It needs its own article because it's a version of an Exclamation Mark Block. While all Metal Boxes are ! Blocks, not all ! Blocks are Metal Boxes. Unlike the red, yellow, and blue ones, this one has appeared also as its own item in Super Smash Bros. Melee; this is actually the main reason it has its own article. Please keep it separate. 173.60.171.234 16:05, 20 November 2013 (EST)

Rename
Per Naming (specifically, the exceptions) and the recent Smash-related propsal, how about renaming this article either "Green Block" or "Green ! Block"? After all, that's what it's called in Mario 64; "Metal Box" is a Beam me up, Scotty-ism, as only the Smash series calls it that.

Oppose

 * 1) Smash is still an official Nintendo source, and Mario-related items certainly stay. So no, no it isn't comparable to Captain Kirk's never-said-yet-oft-quoted line.

Comments
The new Super Bowser proposal doesn't acknowledge Giant Bowser's name from the Super Smash Bros. series (albeit "Giant" replaces "Super" forms), and we also had a proposal that moved the Zelda series' Triforce to an identifier over the more Mario-relevant arcade board, so I suppose this depends on how much we want to pull out of Super Smash Bros.-related content. If we had articles for Red Block and Blue Block from Super Mario 64, I'd say definitely to keep consistency with the three. LinkTheLefty (talk) 07:42, 20 July 2018 (EDT)
