Talk:Ice Snifit

Coincidential Similarity
Due to the Japanese names being different and the remake of SS using the original design, these are probably intended to be different things, just as Frost Piranha and Ice Piranha Plant are. As for attack, I only own SS+BM, which I only just got yesterday and as such haven't reached them yet, so I don't know the exact details, though I know Snifberg the Unfeeling can shoot icy spiked balls.....so are the attacks between the the two enemies listed here any different from each other?

 * Interesting scenario... I'm not sure how to proceed either. 23:08, 17 December 2017 (EST)
 * This situation is probably much closer to Flamer Guy and Pyro Guy rather than Frost Piranha and Ice Piranha Plant. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:50, 19 December 2017 (EST)
 * Except Pyro Guy's name didn't revert in later Yoshi games. (The "Flamer Guy" name was likely dropped due to "Flamer" being a derogatory term towards homosexuals, anyways...) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:11, 10 July 2018 (EDT)
 * It does in Japanese, and the design is slightly different (its body isn't visible through the flame and its hands are different in Paper Mario) just like Ice Snifit. LinkTheLefty (talk) 06:01, 10 July 2018 (EDT)
 * The situation surrounding Pyro Guy was a situation I was considering questioning a while back...then dropped when I saw the appearance in Tetris Attack. Since the TA designs are based off of official art of the time, there's likely a picture of "Flamer Guy" from the Shogakukan that looks like the ones in Paper Mario, as there are apparently several Shogakukan YI images we lack. Also, those notes regarding the Japanese names weren't there when I initially said that. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:04, 10 July 2018 (EDT)

Split MLSS Snifit and YWW Snifit
Due to different Japanese names and color, they should be split.

Proposer: Deadline: October 5, 2018, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) Per.

Oppose

 * 1) Per above similar observation with Flamer Guy / Pyro Guy, who keeps its English Paper Mario name but Japanese Yossy Island name in Yoshi's New Island, and no one seems interested in splitting.

How much does a proposal last? -- 10:49, 21 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Talk page proposals last two weeks. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:55, 21 September 2018 (EDT)
 * @Link about your vote, i noticed that the Pyro Guy lacked the mask strap in Tetris Attack and Paper Mario. Also, for the name, same goes to the Ukiki. Yoshi's New Island has internal filenames, maybe the Pyro Guy shares the internal name with Paper Mario name? -- 11:03, 21 September 2018 (EDT)
 * If I recall correctly, it still goes by "Flamer Guy" in Tetris Attack, though I could be wrong; however, it's not the only Shy Guy in Paper Mario to have an alternate name, as Spear Guys go under the name Yari Dancer, or Spear Dancer, in Japanese (contrast Dancing Spear Guy, which is Yari Yari Dancer). Ukiki is an odd case because most of us thought the Yoshi's Island and Super Mario 64 monkeys were separate enemies until Nintendo started using the former's design with the latter's name. As for internal name, it is a romanization of the original (bobo_heyho), not Paper Mario ' s one. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:20, 21 September 2018 (EDT)
