Talk:Rotten Mushroom

Naming
Perhaps it’s a stupid question, but how do we know that Rotten Mushrooms are distinct items from Poison Mushrooms, and not just a new name for the same item? -- 11:45, July 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Why would we need a proof? -- 11:47, July 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Often, the official names for items change over time. For example, Super Stars were originally called Starmen in older games, despite being the same item. On the wiki, we name our articles based on the name in the latest appearance, while keeping the information about previous appearances and the official names of those appearances in the individual sections for the game in question. Basically, my question is do we know whether Rotten Mushrooms are new, distinct items or simply Nintendo's new name for Poison Mushrooms? I'm really not sure how we would determine that or maybe I'm just overthinking it. -- 11:56, July 3, 2019 (EDT)
