Talk:Blarggwich

Blargg?
Are we sure this is a sub-species of a Blargg, as it looks nothing like a Blargg and it also doesn't act like a Blargg?
 * The build is like a Gargantua Blargg and it shares that characteristic eyes and eyebrows, just without the mouth. Other than that, I'm not sure if it's even a Blaarg.

Salvo the Slime's castle.
I've found in the Japanese advance manual, here, that the Support Ghost found in Salvo the Slime's Castle has a different name from the Blargg looking one. Can anyone tell me in Romaji what is it name, and what does it name means? --83.156.220.80 11:55, 3 July 2018 (EDT)
 * Looks like it's "rojā rifuto", according to, so "Roger Lift". I'll add it. 19:26, 3 July 2018 (EDT)
 * Then they should be split, since they're clearly different. Anyone know what the description of it says about it? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:30, 3 July 2018 (EDT)

[[media:Advance 3 Shogakukan P24.png|Roger Lift]]:

頭 に足場 を乗 せた水 のおばけ. ビョーンとのびて高 い所 へ運 んでくれる. ふれてもダメージは受 けないので、安心 して運 んでもらおう.

My translation:

''A water wearing a foothold on its head. Its bouncy stretching can carry to high places. Contact also will not deal damage, so reassuringly let it carry you.''

[[media:Advance 3 Shogakukan P14.png|Unbaba Lift]]:

頭 のリフトでヨッシーを運 んでくれる. 完全自動運転 なので、融通 がきかないのがタマにキズ.

My translation:

''Its head lift will carry Yoshi. It is in fully automatic motion, so it is unadaptable to certain hazards.''

So Roger Lift is essentially a harmless water spirit, and Unbaba Lift / Support Ghost / Blarggwich is more like a creature that takes Yoshi through an obstacle course when active. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:00, 12 September 2018 (EDT)
 * So, the redirection i made should be changed to a page? The player guide only says about Sluggy The Unshaven's Fort, but not Salvo The Slime's Castle. -- 14:20, 15 September 2018 (EDT)
 * Indubitably. They are different things. THem being merged in the first place was simply ease of mentioning the vaguely-similar thing we didn't yet have a name for. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:09, 15 September 2018 (EDT)

Two different things?
This thing has two different Japanese and Korean names in Yoshi's New Island. One for the normal version, and one for the "sandwich" version. Would it make sense to split them? Blinker (talk) 08:03, November 25, 2022 (EST)
 * They seem like two separate objects, but how would it work exactly since they appeared in the same game with an identical English name? LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:22, November 25, 2022 (EST)
 * Would "Blarggwich (sandwich)" work, like how there's "Pokey" and "Pokey (heading)"? Blinker (talk) 08:44, November 25, 2022 (EST)
 * That can work. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:46, November 25, 2022 (EST)

Split the Yoshi's New Island World 2-8 variant
This proposal aims to split the variant found in World 2-8 of Yoshi's New Island.


 * Appearance: The original grows from the bottom of the screen and carries a green lift. The World 2-8 variant is sandwiched between two yellow or red lifts.
 * Behavior: The original moves along a set path. The World 2-8 variant stays still or moves along a path, and raises the lift on its head when hit with a ground pound.
 * Name: The two have different names in Japanese and Korean versions, and the same name in most other translations. The name "Blarggwich" itself is a portmanteau of "Blargg" and "sandwich", which seems to describe the World 2-8 variant. The use of the name in the title of Ride the Blarggwich may be a mistake.

The name I suggest for the new page is "Blarggwich (sandwich)", following the format of "Pokey (heading)".

Proposer: Deadline: August 27, 2023, 23:59 GMT

Split as

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) - Per, go for it
 * 3) These two are different enemies with vastly different behaviors, agreed with this.
 * 4) Per proposal.

Split as

 * 1) Per proposal, and this identifier feels less awkward in my opinion.
 * 2) Per Hewer.
 * 3) Per Hewer.

Comments
I agree that the variant should be split, but I'm iffy on the "sandwich" identifier. Why not "Blarggwich (Count Fang's Castle)"? 20:04, August 15, 2023 (EDT)
 * I was worried that having multiple support options might result in a tie, but whatever. I've added "Blarggwich (Count Fang's Castle)" as an option. Blinker (talk) 05:57, August 16, 2023 (EDT)
 * ...if they appear again in a later game, that's definitely not a good identifier. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:03, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

If the use of "Blarggwich" in the Ride the Blarggwich level truly is a mistake, then perhaps the page could be moved back to Support Ghost, meaning that the new Blarggwich article doesn't even have to require an identifier. Admittedly though, it might be a bit too speculative to fully commit to it? 03:57, August 16, 2023 (EDT)
 * It possibly being too speculative is my worry as well, even if it would be more practical. Blinker (talk) 05:57, August 16, 2023 (EDT)
 * @Ray Trace, excuse me... "Enemy"? -- 04:01, August 16, 2023 (EDT)
