Why is this seperate from [[Panser]] if it has the same Japanese name? It wouldn't surprise me if they were just redesigned, that's happened before. [[User:Binarystep|Binarystep]] ([[User talk:Binarystep|talk]]) 01:34, 9 March 2015 (EDT) | |||
In fact, to quote the page for [[Panser]] (emphasis mine): | |||
They are much like the [[Volcano Lotus]] and the [[Lava Lotus]] (as well as [[Pompon Flower]]s) of later games. In fact, they share the same Japanese name as the Volcano Lotus - Ponkey - '''meaning that the Volcano Lotus is a redesigned Panser'''. | |||

[https://archive.ph/yutSZ Mario Portal] confirms that "Volcano Lotus", the original ''Super Mario World'' name, is the correct one. "Volcano Plant" is from ''Super Princess Peach'', whose English localization is janky in the same way that ''Super Mario RPG'''s is, containing inconsistencies like "[[Petey Piranha#Super Princess Peach|Boss P. Plant]]" and "[[Spike Top#Super Princess Peach|Mecha-Spike Top]]". Therefore, it should not take priority, especially since people are far more likely to be familiar with ''SMW'' than ''SPP''. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 18:18, August 18, 2022 (EDT) | [https://archive.ph/yutSZ Mario Portal] confirms that "Volcano Lotus", the original ''Super Mario World'' name, is the correct one.

See above. The [https://archive.ph/yutSZ|''Super Mario World'' section of the English Mario Portal], despite using the exact same "[[Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother|A. F. H. Bro]]" abbreviation used in ''Super Princess Peach''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> in-game glossary and also including other anachronistic names such as "[[Galoomba]]" and "[[Swoop]]", throws "Volcano Plant" in the garbage in favor of "Volcano Lotus", the original name. Since there's no way that shared abbreviation is a coincidence, I can only see this as an acknowledgement that "Volcano Plant" is a goof and that "Volcano Lotus" is the proper name for this enemy. This makes sense, since "Volcano Lotus" is overall a more fitting name given its relation to [[Lava Lotus]], not to mention ''SPP''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> janky localization featuring "Boss P. Plant" and "Mecha-Spike Top". | See above. The [https://archive.ph/yutSZ|''Super Mario World'' section of the English Mario Portal], despite using the exact same "[[Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother|A.

#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} As mentioned above, the "Plant" name was first used [[Jumping Piranha Plant#Trivia|erroneously]] to connect it to Jumpin' Piranha Plant (correctly translated, it should've referred to regular Piranha Plants), and coupled with ''Super Princess Peach'' translators apparently referring to ''Mario Mania'' instead of the game and the fact that the glossary happens to list it after the Piranha Plant family, it seems very likely that some people mistakenly thought they were related to the (Fire) Piranha Plant rather than Lava Lotus. | #{{User|LinkTheLefty}} As mentioned above, the "Plant" name was first used [[Jumping Piranha Plant#Trivia|erroneously]] to connect it to Jumpin' Piranha Plant (correctly translated, it should've referred to regular Piranha Plants), and coupled with ''Super Princess Peach'' translators apparently referring to ''Mario Mania'' instead of the game and the fact that the glossary happens to list it after the Piranha Plant family, it seems very likely that some people mistakenly thought they were related to the (Fire) Piranha Plant rather than Lava Lotus. | ||

Should point out that the "A. F. H. Bro" abbreviation <small>besides being an uncanny coincidence that the wiki had recently moved enemies to their official abbreviated forms</small> was probably just done for space, since "Big Fire Piranha Plan" shows up several times (why they didn't just cut "Plant" off, I don't know).

:I honestly have no idea why Big Fire Piranha Plant has the "t" cut off to begin with, since "[[Jumping Fire Piranha Plant]]" is longer, and that isn't shortened in any way. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 19:38, August 27, 2022 (EDT) | |||
