Talk:Bowling Goonie

Japanese name
What is their Japanese name? I'm pretty sure there are some of them which are already Bowling Goonies without being eaten and spat out. -- 02:05, 25 September 2018 (EDT)
 * I guess it is mentioned on a Shogakugan page of level layouts? -- 12:46, 26 September 2018 (EDT)

Bowling Goonie doesn't have its own entry in either the Super Mario Advance 3 or Yoshi's New Island Shogakukan books, but it's instead decribed within Hefty Goonie.

太 りすぎて飛 べなくなったあほ一どり. タマゴを当 てたり、食 べてはき出 すと、つばさが取 れて転 がって行 く. 転 がっている間 も、当 たればイタいぞ.

Rough translation:

''An Aho Dori that became too fat to fly. When hit by an egg, or when eaten, the wings are taken off and it will roll along. While rolling, it is also vulnerable to hits.''

ボールのように丸 まったあほーどり. はずむように移動 するものと、地箇 を転 がるものの2種類 がいる. はずんで<span class="explain" title="いどう">移動 するタイプだけ、<span class="explain" title="た">食 べて<span class="explain" title="くち">口 に<span class="explain" title="ふく">含 むことができる.

Rough translation:

''A rolling Aho Dori that looks like a ball. Those that travel by migration, and those that roll on the ground consist of the two varieties. For the migration type, it can fit in your mouth and be eaten.''

However, it appears to have its own name within in-game Yoshi's New Island data: "<tt>debu_aho_mushi</tt>" (basically "Fat Goon Bug"; compare Flightless Goonie). Since Bowling Goonie is encountered in the wild as well, this situation seems a bit similar to Coin Bandit. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:25, 24 October 2018 (EDT)
