Talk:Gabon

Spike
Should this be merged with Spike? "Gabon" is Spike's Japanese name, and he's consistently kept it in most of his appearances in Japanese versions of games. --YellowYoshi398 20:41, 2 February 2007 (EST)

Seems like just the basic subspecies. No merge. - Yoshi Master


 * I agree. Don't merge it. Hisak 12:32, 2 June 2007 (EDT)

I also agree, they act, look and are named differently. They could have another name in the Japanesse version, ya'know. Gofer

Just a Character?
If I remember right, wasn't Gabon just a character in the intermission between levels? Perhaps you guys are looking at a player's guide, but I'm pretty sure that the intermission was just a reference the single character that's mentioned in the article. Basically, does anyone have any proof that this is a separate species and not just a single character? 13:09, 5 January 2008 (EST)

Kirby?
Gabon shares the exact same name with a Kirby enemy, although the two are drastically different: Should I state that as trivia?--
 * It's coincidence.
 * Probably, I don't even remember writing this. >_>--
 * You wrote this four months ago.

Merge to Spike
This enemy's name is a transliteration of the Japanese name of Spike. Additionally, the two look and act similarly. Therefore, the different name is probably a simple translation oversight.

Support

 * 1) Even though they look so different, they behave the same, spitting spiked balls out that can harm Mario and co.

Comments
Do you mean Lakilester, Spike_(enemy) Or something else? I landed at a disambiguation page. I don't think many people would support the merging of an article when it's not clear what's being merged. --Turkishcoffee 08:16, 5 April 2010 (EDT)
 * I believe he's refering to the enemy.
 * Lakilester is just the first Mario-related thing I think of when I hear "spike". Looking at the enemy, I'd say we should merge them. As written the proposal wants us to merge this with a disambiguation page.
