I suppose that may be true, though "cob" can also possibly refer to the top of something's head or a lump itself, both of which describe the "kobu."

:What Doc said; cob just seems a bit more applicable to me and I find it unlikely that they'd render the word in katakana when we have [[Sleep Pig Poppo|another enemy]] using hiragana for clarification's sake, though if you want, we can just expand the translation notes to cover both as potential meanings.

::The word ''mogura'' is also written in katakana fairly often and ''yuki'' is probably a common enough word with few definitions that they didn't see fit to render hiragana (like [[Kiba Pig Poppo|''kiba'']]), though I've expanded the possible meaning [[Special:Diff/2825346|here]].

==Re:Pink Fuzzy== | |||
That'd be a good idea. I don't have access to the Spanish and French scripts of ''The Thousand-Year Door'' right now, though I at least trust the German and Italian wikis since the former mentions a name change and the latter contains RPG profiles. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 09:11, March 14, 2020 (EDT) | |||
:Update: In regards to ''The Thousand-Year Door'', I've so far found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0r9SOfbVcc&t=27m1s (European) Spanish], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcvE9zNBE00&t=19m40s (European) French], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dqg7c52ycWs&t=22m42s German], and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHx3J6H9-nA&t=8m23s Italian]. Here's the catch - Fuzzies apparently have two more different translations in the ''Paper Mario'' series depending on if the game is played in American or European Spanish or French. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 11:19, March 14, 2020 (EDT) | |||
:Also, if you plan on looking into Flower/Pink Fuzzy translations soon, can you take a look at how Cleft/Moon Cleft is treated in other languages as well? That situation [[Cleft#Names in other languages|got]] [[Moon Cleft#Names in other languages|complicated]].

::I found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7cs3aQv_9A German] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJlRFHAaBt0 Italian] Catch Card videos that seem to match the wikis, as well as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA5wthxD39I&t=2h European French] for Moon Cleft, so it seems the Nintendo of Europe translations of ''Super Paper Mario'' follow the English localization. If it's not too much of a bother, I have another idea - can you find out how other languages handle the line in Goombella's tattle, "''It's your basic Cleft living on the moon.''", as well as the Cragnon NPC that refers to the crag-vision picture "''Dark Screams! Into Maw of Howling Cleft Colony of Terror!''"? I want to see if I'm onto something here and that these two lines would be of interest for the upcoming Moon Cleft proposal. Thanks.

:::Interesting. Here's my hypothesis thus far: after the graphics for Cleft and Moon Cleft were swapped mid-development, some localizers who were familiar with ''Paper Mario'' caught the fact that the "new" Moon Clefts of ''The Thousand-Year Door'' were essentially the original Clefts, and strengthened the implication. That's why Goombella refers to them as "your basic Cleft" in the English version - "basic" isn't a throwaway descriptor, but rather an important keyword. That's also why she's much more openly incredulous in the German version (it's something like, "''Moon Clefts are... just Clefts, living on the moon!''", the word "eben" apparently being used to stress something that ought to be common knowledge) as well as in European Spanish (similarly, "''Whoa, there are also these on the moon...''", again suggesting they may really be basic Clefts who simply happen to inhabit the moon in the game). As for the ''Super Paper Mario'' NPC, I'm thinking that Cleft line was specifically meant to refer to the "Moon Clefts" that appear in Chapter 5 since it's doubtful Flint Cragley and his crew are interdimensional travelers like the main cast (as worlds in that game are other dimensions), especially if it wasn't a reference added in localization like Boss Bass. As for anything else, now that you mention it: I'm also curious what the Pale Piranha tattle is in other languages, since despite changing the name, [[tcrf:Proto:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door/Text & Dialogue#The Great Tree Enemies|it seems the English version added some suspect lines rather late]].

Hello. Do you remember what [[:File:NewNESCobratFake.gif]] was for? Was it a personal image? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:47, March 14, 2020 (EDT) | |||
:I can answer that. It was used as a trivia point on [[Cobrat]]'s page, the kind of trivia we generally don't cover, ie the "This thing from unrelated game looks similar." [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:23, March 14, 2020 (EDT) | |||

:::Could we perhaps consider salvaging it for the [[List of Mario references in third-party video games|list of ''Mario'' references in third-party video games]]?

:::::::Not so much Cobrat, but I see similarities to Tryclyde - a large boss version of the red snake enemy fought twice, stays on or patrols a patch of land, spits fireballs or breathes fire as its main attack, and must be defeated by throwing objects at it.

==Re:Shogakukan Creepers== | |||
Sure, but don't forget that this is meant for a different game, and [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P7.jpg|Blooper]]s aren't in ''Super Mario World''. That scene is also described as taking place tens of thousands of years in past, and Shellcreepers have been called the ancestors of Koopas. And in ''Super Mario World'', the Koopas invaded Dinosaur Land, and aren't depicted [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 11.jpg|here]] among the ancient species revived by Native Star. So ultimately, I think it's more speculative to consider the off-model turtles as Koopa Troopas than to say that they aren't.
