Talk:Dark Spin

Is this officially named? If so, it should be capitalized as "Dark Spin", right? 13:24, 19 December 2009 (EST)
 * Somebody grab a Prima guide to verify.
 * It probably won't state it...--
 * It's worth a try. As of now though, let's just label it as made up. Actually, since it's an attack by Bowser, shouldn't it be merged into Bowser's article?
 * I dunno, but its similar to his shockwave attack from SM64 and SM64DS so if it should be merged, it should be merged with that atack because it's basically the same attack with a twist on it.--
 * I never got to Bowser since I got bored of it, so I don't know that attack. Feel free to create a merge proposal if you want.
 * I have a Prima guide, and it just stated Bowser's attacks, the author didn't "name" them. And I don't even think this article is relevant anyway (I agree with Knife's comment below this one).

Unofficially named attacks don't get articles because theoretically, someone could create an article on anything.-- 13:43, 25 December 2009 (EST)
 * So literally, should we delete the article?
 * Is it a bad idea to merge this with the Spin? 21:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * In my oppinion, yes.

I'm Pesonally a fan of the name "Shadow Spin". Sounds Awesome Right? User:Mecha-Boss Unit
 * We're discussing whether or not to merge it, no to change its name. And Shadow Spin, to me, is just the same thing as Dark Spin. Dark and Shadow are synonyms.
 * No, Dark Spin is better because the attack is only used by Bowser in his Dark Matter Plant. Therefore it makes more sense to assume that he uses Dark Matter to power his new attack, hence "Dark Spin". The plant shuts down after Mario frees the Grand Star, so Bowser cannot make any more Dark Matter to power the attack, which is presumably why he uses a completely different attack (the boulder one). 12:16, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it should be merged with Bowser.

Actually, we are discussing whether to merge this or not as Reversinator stated. What we decide for the name won't matter if it is merged (which seems to be the direction it is taking). I'm surprised it hasn't been decided yet, especially since this article breaks the pattern of officially named moves. As I said above, articles about unofficially named moves should not be created because theoretically, an article about anything can be created (such as spitting out fireballs).-- 15:05, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
