Talk:Grinder (enemy)

Can There be a Disambiguation to this page? because there is also a grinder in super mario world which isn't a monkey.--Fg 09:42, 20 January 2007 (EST)
 * There's also a Grinder attack in Super Mario RPG.

What do you mean grinder attack?--Fg 09:45, 20 January 2007 (EST)


 * ...An attack called "Grinder". I don't recall it... but if it has anything to do with the Grinder enemies, then it's the SMW one (is Grinder the attack where they summon that red wheel?). Anyway, a disambiguation page would be helpful, I'd say. --YellowYoshi398 09:47, 20 January 2007 (EST)

I agree with you yellowYoshi398.--Fg 09:49, 20 January 2007 (EST)

It's the Birdy's attack.

Oh A Birdy attack but we're talking about putting a disambiguation page on grinder.--Fg 09:53, 20 January 2007 (EST)

YES! THE BIRDY'S ATTACK IS CALLED GRINDER!

Should Split into two articles
I Think Someone is going to have to split this article in two.--Fg 18:47, 21 January 2007 (EST)

... Why? -- Sir Grodus

Because there is a grinder in super mario world that is not a monkey.It is a sharp spiked wheel spinning.--Fg 18:50, 21 January 2007 (EST)


 * No that's Glinder. But yes because there's an attack called Grinder (attack) Paper Jorge

Glinder?If You look at the super mario world credits ending it says grinder not glinder.--Fg 18:54, 21 January 2007 (EST)


 * I meant about the 64 enemy but never mind. Paper Jorge

Grinder, Grinder (attack), Glinder and Grindel, confusing. -- Sir Grodus

Ninntendo is stupid to name these grinders. Where does it say they are called this anywho?

Answer Moogle's question.

Rename
Now that this has appeared in multiple games, should the article be renamed to "Grinder (Yoshi's Island series)"?

Yeah, I think so. I will move it.


 * Alright, cool.

Called Ukikis in Yoshi's New Island?
In Yoshi's New Island the level names refer to them as Ukikis. I can't ever remember when they were called Grinders; should we merge?


 * I think one of the stage names called them that, there's also the manual for the original game iirc. 01:24, 22 March 2014 (EDT)

Ukikis look exactly the same as Grinders since Super Mario 64 DS, so it's likely Grinders and Ukikis are the same nowadays. I suggest making a Talk Page Proposal. Really, the only thing that makes them apart is the Japanese names (Osaru-san for Grinder and Ukki for Ukiki (according to TMK)), but the Porcupuffer had its Japanese name changed as well (Fugumannen in SMW (Again, according to TMK), and Togepuku in recent games). It's not like the English releases are the only releases that changes enemy names.

Merge with Ukiki
The most modern name is in Yoshi's New Island, which calls them Ukikis. As Arend says above, the two monkeys are indistinguishable after their Super Mario 64 DS redesign, and the only thing that's keeping them seperate is their Japanese names (which also occasionally change game to game, just like localized names). Also, I don't remember them being called Grinders (player's guide?) as the level names in Yoshi's Island generically call them monkeys.
