Talk:Lava Bubble (blue)

...Official name? ;|

I been wondering the same thing...--Swooper888 07:42, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Japan describes these things under バブル Bubble, so I guess they really are Podoboos after all. Vent 14:51, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

Different Name
Lava Bouncers.... I'm not too sure. They don't look like lava to me, more like melted ice. Since they resemble Podoboos, why not call them Ice Podoboos? This makes more sense in my opinion... 03:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)


 * When we choose a name for a conjectural title, it must be as brief and accurate as possible. Lava is in a way accurate, because in Super Mario Galaxy the creatures emerge from lava. But feel free to make a Talk Page Proposal if you feel that it is necessary.

Change Lava Bouncer to Ice Podoboo
PASSED 6-4

Since it has been claimed that this enemy could be a Podoboo, isn't Ice Podoboo a better and more fitting name? This makes consistency for both their appearance and their lava origins.

Change

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) – per all. It's more fitting and describes better what enemies they are.
 * 3) Per proposal. Ice Podoboos is a more logical, professional and fitting name.
 * 4) In the article it says it is a Podoboo, easy decision.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Per JORDAN DEBONO, MarioSmasher, Koopa K, and Technickal

Leave

 * 1) It still makes no sense to give a lava creature an ice name.
 * 2) Per Tails777.
 * 3) Per Tails
 * 4) Per Tails.

Comments
@Koopa K. Well that comment in the article is more of an assumption really. But since it's there, more of a reason to change the name.
 * I still would've gone with the proposal if it wasn't there.


 * I know thank you. I wrote it more for future possible opposers.

This is confusing me, the Podoboo isn't even ice related, why would we change the name to Ice Podoboo?


 * The Podoboo isn't ice related, that's why we're adding Ice in the beginning. We're adding Podoboo because, like the actual Podoboos, they emerge from lava.


 * Then if it isn't ice related, why are we adding ice to it? That makes no sence.
 * It looks like ice, it makes sense.
 * Just because it looks like ice, that doesn't mean it is ice. If we had an apple that looked like an orange, would we call it an orange? No, it's an apple never the less. This is the same deal.
 * Sorry to barge in, but can you suggest an alternative name, Tails? GreenDisaster (talk) 18:38, 10 September 2012 (EDT)
 * Like a better name for the article? I suggest leaving it as it is.
 * But if we recognize this enemy as a Podoboo, shouldn't its name reflect this? I'm not agreeing to the "Ice Podoboo" name, but "Lava Podoboo" is a mite redundant. GreenDisaster (talk) 18:54, 10 September 2012 (EDT)
 * We could call it Bouncing Podoboo. It's not the most creative thing, but it is descriptive.

Rename?
Shouldn't this be renamed now that Podoboos are called Lava Bubbles now? Binarystep (talk) 22:13, 25 March 2013 (EDT)
 * I'm not sure because the name is conjectural in the first place. Still, we can call them "Ice Bubble" just to be consistent with "Lava Bubble". EDIT: Also, those things aren't even made of ice in the first place. It's blue fire. 22:47, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Rename Ice Podoboo to Blue Lava Bubble
RENAME 8-0

I am proposing that we rename Ice Podoboo to Blue Lava Bubble because the name "Ice Podoboo" is a huge misnomer. First, these "ice" enemies come from lava and can burn Mario. Second, the name "Podoboo" is outdated; they're called Lava Bubble at this time of writing. Conjectural names are supposed to be accurate and simple; while it may be simple, "Ice Podoboo" is outright inaccurate and misleading

We do have a blue Lava Bubble enemy called Ember, but at least that enemy has a definite name. We can say, "Not to be confused with Ember" and "Not to be confused with Blue Lava Bubble".

Note: While "Bouncing Lava Bubble" might be another fitting name, there are a lot of normal Lava Bubbles that make bouncy movements, so I think the name is a bit of a misnomer.

If you have any other naming suggestions, feel free to put it in the comments. I'll consider it.

Rename to "Blue Lava Bubble"

 * 1) Calling these fiery entities "ice" is downright misleading. If we want to name something based on its color, "ice" isn't the way to go. That's why I want to rename it.
 * 2) Per the reason I opposed to rename it Ice Podoboo in the first place. It's made of fire, not ice so it shouldn't be named Ice Podoboo.
 * 3) Ice Podoboos come out of lava and burn you? HEAD ASPLOSION!! Per all.
 * 4) Per all, otherwise the title's an oxymoron.
 * 5) Podoboos were renamed to Lava Bubbles a while before, so we should follow the same process for their sub-species. Also, how can they be ICE Podoboos when they burn you?
 * 6) - Per all. The current name is indeed misleading.
 * 7) Ice? They don't even FREEZE you!
 * 8) Per all.

Comments
Taken directly from the article itself: They seem to closely resemble Li'l Brrrs, but are fiery instead of icy.

Actually if ice is cold enough it can burn you
 * I wanted to say that "First, these "ice" enemies come from lava and can burn Mario by setting fire to his butt", but it sounds...um... silly. I'm pretty sure you can figure out what "burns" mean in this case. 19:25, 27 March 2013 (EDT)

Edit: LOL internet

I mentioned at the very top of the page that this enemy IS a Podoboo based on the Japanese name. Vent (talk) 02:51, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
 * Podoboos = Lava Bubble. We just chose Lava Bubble because it's the more recent name. Also, you're basing the name off Japan Wikipedia. Does that information have a source? 01:16, 3 April 2013 (EDT)

It's also in the Japanese official SMG guide. Vent (talk) 04:24, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
 * Can you provide a source for this? 05:34, 13 April 2013 (EDT)
