Talk:Sledge Bro

Misnaming again = Epic Fail. Anyway, I think that these guys need some more info about their cartoon appearances.

Also, if they wanted to call them "sumo bros", couldn't they have given them some karate gear or something to tell the difference from Sledge bros.? user:General guy Genius

Move Sledge Bro. to Sumo Bro. (Super Mario Bros. 3)
Proposer: Deadline: 6 September, 2012 23:59 GMT

For the last 3 guides these have been called Sumo Bros. by Prima and regardless of your preference towards Prima they are still the official source for game guides of Nintendo games. Now the question is should we consider this a new name and to that I say yes (otherwise I wouldn't make this proposal) Think about it when Prima makes a naming mistake they usually don't make the same one multiple times in a row. But with these they have called them Sumo Bros. consistently in the last 3 game guides. I believe that this is enough evidence to say that they have been renamed Sumo Bro. because unlike other instances where a creature is renamed such as Fishbone being called Wet Bones this one is consistent.

Move

 * 1) Per my proposal.
 * 2) Per proposal. We can always mention that they are sometimes called Sledge Bros.
 * 3) Per proposal.

Don't Move

 * 1) As such, Prima is known for their mistakes and they do make mistakes multiple times in a row, also Sumo Bros don't wield hammers. and their attacks, other than the stomp that stuns Mario are completely different. The Sledge Bro in the New Super Mario Bros. games was obviously based off of its appearance within SMB3. They are just to different to move, despite Prima having an official Nintendo Seal, its not perfect.
 * 2) It says right at the top of the page "sometimes incorrectly referred to as Sumo Bros. They are completely different from Sumo Bros.!

Comments
Also i'm going to point out that Sumo Bro. is their most common name they've been called Sledge Bro. once (possibly twice if that's what the adventure books call them) Elite Hammer Bro. once (in the cartoons) and Sumo Bro. 3 times.

@xXSuperXXNintendoXx i'm not suggesting a merger between the two articles (because that would be insane) i'm suggestion that we move this article because even if Prima makes mistakes they are still the official source and they've called Sledge Bros. Sumo Bro. 3 times in a row and because Sumoo Bro. is the most common name.
 * Also (and this is just my humble opinion) I don't think we should call this a misidentification a more logical assumption is that they didn't know that Sledge Bros. were called Sledge Bros. because the name is used so little (like I said only two sources to my knowledge call them that) so they just called them Sumo Bros. because they are similar to sumo wrestlers.


 * That's one of the problems, even if Prima serves the official source for Nintendo's guides, does not signify by any means that all of their information is by any means canonical. However, I understand that it has been called Sumo Bro for the past 3 guides, but also Sledge Bros have first appeared in SMB3 which was released before SMW (which was the Sumo Bro's debut game). Sometimes it depends not on the name, but the actions of the enemy and which one its most similar to, I think we should keep it as is. (Sorry if I sound rude), and yes they are both similar to sumo wrestlers (and quite fat, haha) --XXSuperXXNintendoXx (talk) 13:36, 23 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Actually I think on this wiki the info from official Prima guides are canon. And yes i understand that there is a problem with both Sumo Bros. being called Sumo Bro. which is why I'm proposing it be moved the Sumo Bro. (Super Mario Bros. 3) and the reason that i'm proposing we move Sledge Bro. and not Sumo Bro. is because Sumo Bro. was called Sumo Bro. first. Also I think Sumo Bro. (the hammer throwing kind :P) are in fact quite similar to sumo wrestlers because think about they jump up and cause like earthquakes which stun you which sounds like something a sumo wrestler would do if he was in a video game.

@Koopa K And I say that's wrong because of the fact that 3 straight manuals have called them Sumo Bros. while only one manual (and possibly some books) call them Sledge Bros. So what I'm trying to say is that there are two types of Sumo Bros. much like how there are two types of Boomerang Brso.
