Talk:Skeeter

I'm pretty sure they were blue in Super Mario 64 DS. Editing.

I hate these things >.>

Name?
Hmmm... Shouldn't there be an article named "Pondskater" and one called "Skeeter?" Because the two were never confirmed to be the same thing.


 * Where did the name Pondskater come from? Is it official? --


 * Possibly. I'd say I'd check my SMS guide but I know it won't actually happen.

I've never heard of a Pondskater.--Peanutbutter-girl 22:12, 16 March 2011 (EDT)peanutbutter-girl

Fat Skeeter
Do the blue ones also appear in New Super Mario Bros.?--YoshiGo99 21:36, 7 March 2011 (EST)

Thing for Bjaadon the bad writing place
Okay, under new super mario bros it says: These skull bombs actually do not explode, but can be used to break blocks. The resulting EXPLOSION... Yeah I think thats contradictory, right?(Toadbrigade5, Sorry for not signing in)

Split and create articles for and
Currently, the NSMB Skeeters and Pondskaters are in the same article. However, they aren't the same. For one thing, the NSMB ones have a different name in Japan, look different, and drop bombs, unlike Skeeters. Pondskaters have a different name, look different, and can't be killed by being jumped, unlike Skeeters. There is also no evidence that the Skeeters in Super Mario Sunshine are actually called Skeeters.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal
 * 2) Per proposal. For the New Super Mario Bros. variety, the different appearance/behavior AND different Japanese name makes it a good case to split. As for Super Mario Sunshine, we've both tried scouring sources for the enemy's name and we found only "Pondskater" from the Prima guide, which is already referenced here. Its placement in the Sunshine article is therefore dubious and needs a split.
 * 3) Per all.

Comments
Hmm. I support splitting NSMB Skeeters, but I'm not really sure how to feel about splitting "Pondskaters". Niiue (talk) 02:45, 31 January 2016 (EST)
 * Well as far as we know there's no source that calls them Skeeters, so they're probably different.--
 * True. Supporting for now, might reconsider if evidence of them being Skeeters is found. Niiue (talk) 03:34, 31 January 2016 (EST)
