Talk:Fish Bone

They're in Super Mario Land 2, in Turtle Zone.

Kingfin from Super Mario Galaxy greatly resemble these guys. Is he, perhaps, the king of the Bonefish?

Yeah, pretty sure he is.

Uh, where are they in Mario Party 9?

Cheep Cheeps?
Are these actually confirmed to be Cheep Cheeps, or is this more "Mario series fish = Cheep Cheep variant" speculation? Niiue (talk) 08:31, 23 December 2015 (EST)
 * I think this fact come from Mario Party 4, in the minigame Mushroom Medic, in the background, there is a poster with a Cheep Cheep and its Fish Bone X-ray. This is also implied in the trivia section from Fishbone page. Other than that, I do not think there are other interpretations.-- 21:50, 27 December 2015 (EST)

Super Mario World
When could they close their mouth? Randomly, or when we aproache them? --78.248.232.59 04:17, 1 May 2016 (EDT)

Co-Bone
Given Honebon was split for having a different Japanese name, should the SMG section here also be split? To recap, these things look more like Sharkbones (a la Kingfin), act exactly like Torpedo Teds, make sonar pings, and have turbine-like parts in their bodies.

 * There's also the issue of the "Fish skeleton" being on here, a generic dead fish that isn't even sapient from what I can tell. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:57, 1 February 2018 (EST)
 * I'll agree with the Mario Bros. information getting removed, but the Super Mario Galaxy seems to mark the debut of traits Fish Bones have now. In the New Super Mario Bros. games, they also ping and charge toward the player. imo, they shouldn't be split. 20:01, 1 February 2018 (EST)
 * They don't ping constantly, don't have propellors, and aren't particularly metallic-looking. It seems to me more like a case between Unbaba and Kounbaba. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:05, 1 February 2018 (EST)
 * Oh, I never realized these look more like robotic variants. Hm, along with the consistent pinging, these chase after the player rather than just charge at them. I guess they could be split using their Japanese name. 20:17, 1 February 2018 (EST)
 * Yeah, I'd suggest splitting them, as they're never called "Fish Bone" in any guide, and we have multiple pages dedicated to similar skeletal fish-themed enemies. BubbleRevolution (talk) 12:46, 27 February 2018 (EST)
 * According to Naming, "Kobōne" would be the name of the article, not Co-Bone. We could also wait for Dark Horse's Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. translation to come out later this year (assuming it doesn't get delayed again), but given their rather minimalist localization approach in Hyrule Graphics, it will probably remain as Kobone.

 * Side note, I was rather disappointed with that localization myself, but hey, Zazack=Daira by their minds. As for "Co-Bone," that wasn't what I was intending for the article to be named, just as a section header here as it's easier to type due to not having a "long o" key. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:20, 22 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Yeah, they should be split since they're pretty different things. -- 11:36, 16 October 2018 (EDT)
