Thwomps and junk
There was. It was mentioned at the top. As for the Fat Guys, there's no way that was a mistake, it was a "King" variant. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:45, 27 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Well they repurposed a generic Boo artwork for Big Boo, so it wouldn't surprise me. This was for the same game that reused Chomp Shark's sprites exactly with no changes at all. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:52, 27 August 2018 (EDT)

Huffin Puffin and Fluffin' Puffin
In my opinion, it should be split or renamed. I actually suggested it a while back, but nothing ever came of it. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:12, 28 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Since you're not yet autoconfirmed, I can propose it for you if you'd like. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:28, 28 August 2018 (EDT)

Re:Green Toady's Japanese description
From Shogakukan:

フラフラと近 づき、ふれると急 にスピードアップして赤 ちゃんをさらって行 く. さらわれたらすぐに追 いかけてうばい返 そう.

My translation:

''Waveringly approaching, contact makes it suddenly speed up and snatch the baby. As soon as he's taken away, let's give chase and return him.''

Basically what you'd expect, I should think. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:53, 29 August 2018 (EDT)


 * I meant that the guides just describe whatever one happens to be pictured. So Shogakukan's [[media:Advance_3_Shogakukan_P16.png|Game Boy Advance]] guide shows and describes Green Toady, but the [[media:Super_Mario_Yossy_Island_Shogakukan_P4_P5.jpg|Super Famicom]] version has Kamek's Toady and the [[media:Yoshi_New_Island_Shogakukan_P20.jpg|Yoshi's New Island]] one has Solo Toady, and they all have the name Kokamek.

Image reuploads
Uploading a new version of an image can be glitchy. Press Ctrl+F5 to refresh your browser and have the most recent image show up. 13:04, 30 August 2018 (EDT)
 * You're welcome!  Now to delete all those image revisions.    13:09, 30 August 2018 (EDT)

Additionally, when you move images, be sure to correct the links that lead to it. You can find these links by clicking the "What links here" tool on the sidebar while on the page. The file redirect should also be marked for deletion. 13:20, 30 August 2018 (EDT)

Sure, I'd just prefer if the file-naming standard of the project was followed. And try to make them distinct. If I have them in a specific pose (such as the open-mouthed Hootie and Dangling Ghost), I'd like if that were still in the image, as it shows more of the enemy than otherwise. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:25, 30 August 2018 (EDT)

Also

For this instance, the files you just uploaded would use Category:Yoshi's New Island Images. 02:09, 31 August 2018 (EDT)
 * For images, it's ""., for example. The category link would replace the  template's place.  02:13, 31 August 2018 (EDT)

Signature
Hello. Just letting you know that your signature currently violates a few rules outlined in Signatures: More information can be found on the signatures policy page I linked. 08:02, 1 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Your signature is too long. It should be shortened to fit in the box above.
 * Your signature should include your username, or a variation/nickname that lets others know it's you (just "Yoshi" isn't very recognisable).
 * You're adding your signature as raw code. Now that you're autoconfirmed, you should copy/paste your signature code to a signature subpage (User:FanOfYoshi/sig), then change your preferences accordingly (in the text field under "Signature", type in User:FanOfYoshi/sig, tick the "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" check box below it, then hit save; your signature then appears as  plus the timestamp when you sign with   instead of the entire code (the individual Yoshi GIF, contributions URL etc.))
 * Yep, looks good. Just copy/paste that to your signature page and change your preferences. 08:08, 1 September 2018 (EDT)


 * You're still signing with raw code. Did you add User:FanOfYoshi/sig to the text field and tick the checkbox in your signature preferences?


 * This is just so your signature page is transcluded to every comment you sign, not the actual coding, so if you ever change User:FanOfYoshi/sig, the changes are reflected in all of your previous signed comments. This is also helpful if, for example, a larger version of the image is uploaded and it gets in the way of other talk page comments, since you can resize it on one page rather than having to go back and do it for every time the image was used. 23:23, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

The Splunkin and Boo images in your signature need to be shrunk to 35px or less. 05:27, 17 October 2018 (EDT)


 * Also forgot to add: only one animated image can be used for your signature, so one of the GIFs unfortunately needs to be removed. 07:50, 17 October 2018 (EDT)

gimp
From what I've heard, Gimp has terrible user-friendliness. Use Paint.net instead. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:24, 1 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Paint.net is a different program, which I use for sprite and art transparency. However, it requires a download, but is free and open-source. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:48, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

Re:Giant Raven's description in generic Raven?
From Shogakukan:

大 きくなったひなキュー. 地続 きの地形 なら、天井 や壁 でも歩 いて移動 する. 地面 にいるときに踏 んで倒 そう. <span class="explain" title="たお">倒 すと、<span class="explain" title="かく">隠 れたアイ テムが<span class="explain" title="しゅつげん">出現 することもある.

My translation:

''A bigger Hinakyu. It is on Earth-like terrain, as well as walks on ceilings and walls. A grounded stomp will defeat it. Upon defeat, a hidden item may also appear.''

The guide unfortunately doesn't give a name to the giant Raven. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:20, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

Project page
Your project page is meant for working on projects related to helping the wiki. What you have on your project page looks more like fan ideas that would be better suited to our forums. The information can be brought there, but it shouldn't be on the project page. 11:18, 3 September 2018 (EDT)
 * No. Subpages should only be used for wiki-related matters. There is a Fan-creations board on the forums, though. 11:26, 3 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Yeah, on your main userpage is fine, as long as you don't spend too much time on it. 14:59, 3 September 2018 (EDT)

Re:Solo Toady picture
I wouldn't know. All I know is that due to the most recent emulator site (it was a self-proclaimed paradise) getting gutted, I can't get good non-YouTube screenshots until the next emulation site inevitably starts up. Hard to take screenshots from a game on a regular 3DS, that's for sure. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:06, 3 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Was that last one intended to go to me? It didn't seem like it was in response to anything I said. I was more talking about myself above. Also, you seem to still be inputting your sig in raw code, just by the way. (assuming that's being copypasted?) Anyways, with the lack of shoes, that'll make converting from my regular Toady sprites to Solo Toady sprites a lot easier, but currently my non-schoolwork time is going to a ripping project for Donkey Kong Land on the Super Game Boy. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:19, 3 September 2018 (EDT)

File redirects needing deleted
You don't need to tell them every time, there's a maintenance page that lists them that they check regularly. There's been a lot of file-moving recently, so it'd definitely be seen. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:48, 4 September 2018 (EDT)

Moving files
For future reference, after moving a file, keep in mind that the pages currently using the file (found at the bottom of the file page under "File usage") should be updated to use the new file name. After doing that, the old name must be marked for deletion with. 06:19, 4 September 2018 (EDT)


 * You're still forgetting this with File:Slimes.png and File:Monkay.png. Please remember in the future or a reminder may be issued. 05:38, 4 October 2018 (EDT)

For File:Yoshi ski.png, you still had links left to fix before marking the old name for deletion. 05:27, 17 October 2018 (EDT)

Re: Yoshi's New Island quality
As far as I know, that is a hardware modification to capture footage directly from the 3DS. HANS is software-based, but doesn't capture video. It's use is to capture screenshots by PNG. I wouldn't recommend hardware modifications for screenshots, unless you are OK with dismantling your 3DS. There is an alternative screenshot software that is said to be better than HANS, but it installs itself onto the 3DS and may require system firmware modification. That is why I recommend HANS because it doesn't modify hardware or the 3DS firmware. To review: Hope this helps. Visit r/3dshacks for help how to homebrew your 3DS (for exploits). Also, to save consecutive edits, use the <tt>show preview</tt> button next to the <tt>save page</tt> button.-- 10:25, 4 September 2018 (EDT)
 * HANS (only needs an entry point, or exploit, to run and doesn't require any modifications to the system)
 * NTR (installs itself on the 3DS and may require system firmware modification to run properly)
 * Hardware mod (dismantle the 3DS to capture game footage)

Blarggwich
Oh, Blarggwich doesn't use "sprites" other than the eyes. The body is made from the same type of isosceles triangle object that most other squash-and-stretch enemies and objects in the game uses, as well as the polygons in Star Fox. It's a Super FX thing, which is why only a few games had it. It also allows for sprite rotation and the tile pileup regarding the feet of many creatures in the game. And while Super Mario World and Kirby Super Star appeared to have sprite rotation in some boss fights, these are actually background layers, and thus a different story completely. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:35, 7 September 2018 (EDT)

Re:autoconfirmed
I say the Snapjaw / Snap Jaw article can probably be split without much problem since no one has come up with an objection in all that time, but there seems to be conflicting opinions about Huffin Puffin, so that one should definitely have a proposal. I recommend three options: 1) Split Huffin Puffin and Fluffin' Puffin, 2) Rename to Fluffin' Puffin, and 3) Keep as Huffin Puffin. That last one is because it's suggested that even though Fluffin' Puffin is the more recent name, it only applies to Yoshi's Woolly World, so it Huffin Puffin would be interpreted as the more common name for the usual, non-wool version, making it an exception. Or if you want to make the proposal only about the split, that's fine too, but there should be some discussion about the current name afterwards in the event it doesn't pass. You can follow the how-to here, but if you're still not sure, I can do it for you if you'd like. (Also, I have fond memories of Yoshi's Island on SNES as well as the Super Show back when it was airing, so I like it.) LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:55, 7 September 2018 (EDT)

Rocky Wrench
I think they should both be classified as derivatives of each other since there's no hard evidence for or against the other two choices. This may sound blunt, but I already detailed my argument in my vote. 11:08, 10 September 2018 (EDT)

RE: Signature
Yep, your signature code comes out as  (a transclusion of your signature page), which is correct. 10:39, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

Friend boxes
Looks like you are using friendboxes, though it doesn't appear that you asked for them and are custom made. Usually you have ask first, and it's usually even stated on their userpages that you should, including mine. According to Courtesy: If you want to ask someone if you can have the friend userbox, you can, but the ones you created should be removed.
 * "Unless you have someone's permission, don't add their friend userbox to your userbox tower or create a fake box on their behalf."

That said, you can replace the one you made with mine if you want :) 12:07, 11 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I am also fine with you keeping me on your list. You can use the one found on my userpage if you want! -- 12:12, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

^ Reminder. 10:47, 12 September 2018 (EDT)

If you don't remove them yourself, I'll remove them myself at the end of my day. 10:46, 13 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I already said which friend boxes: All of them (me, LinkTheLefty, TheFlameChomp, and Toadette the Achiever). Though TheFlameChomp and I have said you can replace the ones you have of us with our actual ones found on our userpages.
 * Anyone with the administrator rank and above can edit personal userpages in the event of a problem. We usually don't, but we do if we need to. 10:51, 13 September 2018 (EDT)
 * ...All of the friend boxes need removed. 10:54, 13 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Okay, I'll try to be as clear as possible about this. All of your self-made friend boxes need to be removed. The ones for TheFlameChomp and I can be replaced with the friend boxes we actually give out, which can be found on our userpages. TheFlameChomp's is found here and mine is found here. 11:00, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Re:Needlenose
Yes, it's a little confusing because Needlenose and the original Spiked Fun Guy are both plainly referred to as Sanbo (Pokey) in Japanese versions and are considered the same thing despite the difference in appearance in behavior, and the "Pokey (Yoshi's Island series)" also has a different name altogether, Heading Sanbo/Pokey. Not to mention that standard Pokeys eventually appeared in the Yoshi franchise in Yoshi's New Island alongside Needlenoses (still Sanbo in Japanese), which were soon replaced by a different type of enemy called Pokey Poms in Yoshi's Woolly World. I think the simplest thing to do is to consider them all separate entities, as they are cactus-like but have notable differences (although Cactus Jack is currently considered a derivative of Needlenose). Also, looks good, I like the idea of each word directing to something else. Keeps it condensed. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:20, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

For Super Mario Advance 3:

<span class="explain" title="ちか">近 づくと<span class="explain" title="あか">赤 ちゃんをさらいに<span class="explain" title="く">来 るので、3<span class="explain" title="かい">回 ふむか、ヒップド口ップで<span class="explain" title="たお">倒 そう. タマゴを<span class="explain" title="れんぞく">連続 で<span class="explain" title="あ">当 てれば3<span class="explain" title="かい">回 め<span class="explain" title="いこう">以降 1UPがもらえる. <span class="explain" title="けい">計 6<span class="explain" title="かい">回 <span class="explain" title="あ">当 てると <span class="explain" title="たお">倒 せる.

My translation:

''It will come for the baby when approached, so use 3 stomps or a Hip Drop to defeat it. Eggs continuously hitting it 3 times will yield a 1-Up. The 6th hit will defeat it.''

And Yoshi's New Island:

ベビィマリオをさらおうとして、しつこく<span class="explain" title="お">追 ってくる. <span class="explain" title="いちどふ">一度踏 んで<span class="explain" title="あしど">足止 めし、そのあとヒップドロップを<span class="explain" title="あ">当 てて<span class="explain" title="たお">倒 そう. <span class="explain" title="あか">赤 コインを<span class="explain" title="も">持 った<span class="explain" title="あか">赤 いボロドーもいる.

My translation:

''Baby Mario is in its repeated, relentless pursuit. One stomp will stop it, and a Hip Drop hit will defeat it. A Red Coin is kept by a red Borodo as well.''

Later, in the section about its actual level, it is simply referred to as Borodo. (By the way, are you going to initiate the Huffin Puffin proposal, or shall I do it?) LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:48, 12 September 2018 (EDT)


 * I mentioned it here, but specifically, what you do is follow this format; then, since it will be on the Huffin Puffin talk page, make sure you list it here. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:10, 12 September 2018 (EDT)


 * There are several ways, but I use homebrew. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:12, 12 September 2018 (EDT)

Hootie
Can you make the cropping a bit more symmetrical on that? The close-cut bottom bugs me....looks like it could potentially be missing a pixel or two. It's just my minor OCD, but is that possible to do? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:41, 11 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Much better. By the way, "von" is lowercase, as it literally means "of." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:15, 12 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I know that fully well, I have that sheet and many more in an MS Paint document I use to make sprites and have for quite a while. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:22, 12 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Prima is absolutely official. As for the Encyclopedia, Dark Horse's previous Nintendo book, The Legend of Zelda: Arts & Artifacts, simply gave several Japanese-named enemies poor Romanizations (as well as doing this to some bosses that had actual English names), so there's no telling. LTL speculated that the release pushback may be quality control to prevent that from happening again, but again, there's no telling. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:45, 12 September 2018 (EDT)
 * (Somehow I predicted your immediate response) It's fine, everyone slips up every now and again. I'd suggest a proposal for splitting those though, as that's a fairly big change. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:51, 12 September 2018 (EDT)

RE: Retriever
It's the same user as the anons that were repeatedly altering the in-game data presented on the "probability distributions" pages. 01:57, 12 September 2018 (EDT)


 * You raised the same question on the article's talk page, so I've answered there. 02:52, 12 September 2018 (EDT)

RE: Splitting Huffin Puffin
Yes, typically the proposer makes the changes unless they take too long to do so. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:41, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Re: Sprite ripping
Hmm, honestly, that sprite needs to be re-ripped entirely, imo. It's showing the stage background behind it (see Dangling Ghost and Caged Ghost for how it should look), and part of the stage background is the same color as the image background, so I can't make it transparent without taking a chunk out of it. Niiue (talk) 13:15, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Reminder
Also, note that removing isn't enough, you need to add a game category, as explaind above. 12:30, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

Re:Puchipuchi L
Yes, every section lists the level's enemies in the guide, which matches the enemy list. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:45, 14 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were talking about the Japanese guide. I actually don't have the English version, but you can try asking Alex95, who does have a copy. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:16, 15 September 2018 (EDT)

RE:Huffin Puffin
Yes, I'm aware that the behavior differences are based on the chicks, not the parents.

Also, there's no need to message users on their talk pages about a single proposal unless there's something that badly and legitimately needs their attention. In all other cases, please instead post on the proposal's comments section, and the user in question will try to respond as soon as possible. Thanks! 13:50, 15 September 2018 (EDT)

Merging and Moving
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but articles don't have to be moved immediately. With merging and splitting, you usually want to give some time for others to get their input; with the renamed Puchipuchi L article, "Milde (large)" was only a suggestion and no one else commented on which identifier would be preferred (if any) yet. Thwomp and Roger Lift were fine since mostly everyone else agreed by now, but there's no discussion on a Puchipuchi L rename and Turtle merge. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:17, 15 September 2018 (EDT)

Re: About Caged Ghost and Dangling Ghost
I just played the game in an emulator and disabled the background layers, leaving only the sprite layer. If I still have any of my old saves, I'll try to rip something soon. Niiue (talk) 07:49, 19 September 2018 (EDT)
 * It's not really a hack, ZSNES has a feature where you can disable layers by pressing 1 through 5. Niiue (talk) 08:11, 19 September 2018 (EDT)
 * EmuParadise is dead ROM-wise (thanks, Nintendo >_>), and the only other ROM site I can think of that is even remotely safe will have that specific one restricted due to similar complaints. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:04, 19 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Don't know why you'd need my permission XD (I need to update that some time...) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:22, 19 September 2018 (EDT)

Italics
When naming titles for games, series, publications etc. remember to italicise them (i.e. the game title should be displayed as Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, not Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island). You just do that by putting two apostrophes before and after the title (e.g. ).  07:47, 20 September 2018 (EDT)

Unfortunately, I don't currently have the Yoshi's Universal Gravitation / Yoshi Topsy-Turvy guide. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:00, 20 September 2018 (EDT)

Re:Super Mario-Kun
Let me see if I still have the scans from the Yoshi's Island volume. They do follow pretty closely to the games so it would be strange to see some major bosses omitted. I don't know if the enemies would still appear though. 14:13, 22 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I've got bad news. Turns out I don't have volume 15 that continued the Yoshi's Island arc, hence why there's no coverage on the potted ghosts. Really sorry about that. 21:32, 26 September 2018 (EDT)

RE: Relay Heiho
Yes, the manual treats them as the same enemy. A rough translation: "If you spit them out after eating them, they roll and can defeat an enemy in one piece. There are also those that line up in the ceiling and pass a bomb in a similar manner to a bucket relay and drop it." 03:20, 25 September 2018 (EDT)

New article
When starting a new article, even after a split, remember to add the appropriate navigation templates and categories like and   at the bottom of the page. You also forgot to italicise game titles as I've already explained above. Please remember these as they are important writing guidelines (you can find more info on the Manual of Style, which I recommend using as reference for future articles). 03:28, 28 September 2018 (EDT)

Woozy Guy
Then what is the open-legged sprite for? The one that TCRF mentions being in the final for Woozy Guy and that appears on TSR's SMA3 sheet? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:30, 2 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I know that it was unused, I'm saying it was making a deliberate clear comparison to a sprite that was in the final. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:37, 2 October 2018 (EDT)
 * No. >_> Just take a look at this. As for the TCRF bit:
 * "While the Shy-Guy graphics look nearly identical to the ones used by Woozy Guy,"
 * "the Shy-Guy graphics look nearly identical to the ones used by Woozy Guy,"
 * ...meaning they resemble the ones Woozy Guy used. The spread-legged ones. Which are in the final. As part of Woozy Guy's movements. Which you seemingly claimed didn't exist. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:57, 2 October 2018 (EDT)
 * . While it's obviously not implemented the exact correct way either, note that the sprite uses an open-legged appearance, like they do in the sprite sheets. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:30, 6 October 2018 (EDT)

VG Resource
Why are you talking to me about that subject in particular? Context? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:02, 2 October 2018 (EDT)
 * SMA3 or SMW2? Freezegood's in the object sheet for the former, since that's really what it is. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:53, 3 October 2018 (EDT)
 * I have this in an MS Paint doc for my sprites, look at it daily. It's on here. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:59, 3 October 2018 (EDT)

Sure, go ahead! :) If you wish, you can start making new pages from 6-1 beyond while I continue to add information to previous pages to make them more explicit.

New users
Regarding this message on Turboo's talk page, you've done this a few times. Staff check the IP of every new user that signs up already, so there's no need to report them unless they are doing something like vandalizing.

 * To clarify, Switch Block is actually not a conjectural title since it comes directly from the Mario & Wario instruction booklet among the game's blocks: スイッチブロック (page 8). LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:33, 24 October 2018 (EDT)

Re: Blocking vandals
Yes it is, actually- I've had the ability to block them for a while, but all of the other ones I've been beaten to or simply not online. It shows how good the vandalism prevention around here is though! BBQ Turtle (talk) 03:32, 24 October 2018 (EDT)

Re:Bowling Goonie
Sorry for the delay. I have my analysis on the Bowling Goonie talk page. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:33, 24 October 2018 (EDT)

Re:Yoshi's Island DS Prima Guide
Neither guide has an enemy glossary, so the best I can do is examine the levels in which the enemies appear. The article for Sanbo Flower doesn't mention where it appears, so I can't do much for that.

As for Porutāobake:
 * Nintendo Power: "If you run low on ammo, his annoying friends will come to your rescue by tossing chairs and flower pots your way."
 * Prima: No mention at all.

Nothing useful there. 16:35, 24 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Probably. 14:15, 25 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Neither of the guides cover the museum in any detail, so no luck there. 10:13, 6 November 2018 (EST)

Admins and vandals
As has been told to you before, you do not need to go to admin talk pages whenever there is a vandal. The Admin noticeboard will do fine. And he'd know his page was vandalized upon return presumably as it'd presumably have an erroneous "new message" box. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:32, 26 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Probably, given that they seem to do so every time something is edited on them. Could be wrong, though. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:46, 26 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Either/or, really. User's will get a notification that their talk page was changed, regardless of the reason. Admin noticeboard is preferred, and it looks like there are 14 page watchers including myself, so I'm assuming that's most of the admins that will get a notification from that page change as well. 12:07, 26 October 2018 (EDT)

RE: Recent Changes
No - Marcycin

Raphael
I just want to point out, that with the file name giving it the same name, and (unlike Bat, Morty Mole, and Magmaargh), there not being any official sources directly contradicting this, that means that this is the only official word we have, and contradicting our only lead is pretty much fanon. As such, we really should merge them, unless you want a significant drop in coverage and sourcing quality. While I don't like filenames being an official name source, I feel an exception is required when it's the only name that's been given to it whatsoever. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:30, 1 November 2018 (EDT)
 * You never responded to me here, by the way. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:19, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * That has nothing to do with this subject. In this case, Raphael and the otherwise-unnamed YNI enemy do have the same Japanese name, with one simply being romanized. In every official facet, they are the same thing. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:49, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * It would, primarily due to a recent decision by Porple on how redirects should work, as off-site links could potentially go anywhere, and we wouldn't want them going to a blank page if the initial thing they linked to was moved. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:50, 9 November 2018 (EST)

Re:Baby Cheep Japanese names + other
It looks like it's unnamed since Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. only mentions that there is an underwater version of Boss Bass and doesn't describe it in further detail or give it a separate name like Nintendo Power did to Big Bertha. Also in regards to your other question about Yoshi's Island DS from a while back, I think Dangling Ghost is <tt>bura_obake</tt> and Caged Ghost is <tt>dokanobake_front</tt> and <tt>dokanobake_side</tt>.

RE:Big Bertha
Can you please tell me why you try to counter my arguments under my talk page? And can you show me what rule I've broken? 14:56, 23 November 2018 (CET)
