Talk:Flame thrower (Flame Chomp)

not the same
Fire chomps are not fire spitters. Fire spitters shouldn't be mentioned as being in the Ds remake of Mario 64. ==

This is 100% a Fire Chomp. I say we merge this with that article.


 * Fire Chomps have faces, Fire Spitters don't; Fire Chomps move freely in the air, Fire Spitters don't; Fire Chomps can only use a limited amount of flames, Fire Spitters don't. They have not been confirmed as being the same species, so... rather not. - 18:29, 14 October 2009 (EDT)

English name?
I typed in the Japanese characters used on the "Names in other Languages" section on a translator and it translated it to "black bean" should I add this in the article? --User:Dry Bowser rules!/sig 16:53, 8 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Considering online translators aren't usually the most reliable sources of translation, no. GreenDisaster 16:59, 8 June 2012 (EDT)
 * In this case, it's actually correct: it literally translates to "black bean" and is also the name of a type of black soybean dish. - 14:32, 11 June 2012 (EDT)

Move Super Mario 64 DS Flame Chomp info over to Kuromame or Merge
We currently list the Super Mario 64 Kuromame as having been replaced by the Super Mario 64 DS Flame Chomp. This seems to be the idea spread around by some wiki sources, but it's hard to find anything solid. Kuromame don't even have a relation to Flame Chomps in other appearances, and there's nothing separating the two besides the newer face paint. On the other hand, we don't have a good source on the Kuromame name in the first place, so alternatively I'm leaving the option open to simply merging the two - although as mentioned, just as we don't have a more direct source calling these enemies Kuromame, we don't really have anything calling them Flame Chomps, either.

Move section only

 * 1) Per LinkTheLefty.
 * 1) Per LinkTheLefty.

Merge them entirely

 * 1) Given that we don't have a solid source on the Kuromame name, merging it is the best option.
 * 2) I will say this once: MERGE IT!

I'm staying neutral for now, but I think that is it worth mentioning that even though the only difference is face paint, the Kuromame from SM64 DS obviously represents and is a Fire Chomp. If this yet another merge/move proposal is successful, then the name should be Fire Chomp (Super Mario 64), as we take newest names as an official policy. The only problem is that Kuromame looks nothing like a Chomp of any sort... Andymii (talk) 19:38, 20 April 2015 (EDT)
