Talk:Spiny: Difference between revisions

{{TPP}}

Here is one of the most baffling things I've seen this wiki do, and that's to refer to the Spinies from ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'' as '''Spiny Shells'''. For context, ''this name does not even appear in the movie'' (in fact, the joke Bowser ''doesn't even know their name'') but rather, a single off-handed Tweet. Now, I'm not sure how the movie's Twitter account goes. Still, I'm pretty sure this is a case of circular reporting where someone who managed the account mistook their name. Spinies had tons of precedent up to that point of being called what we refer to them today. Now, the movie gives some creative liberties on names, notably [[Banzai Bill|Bomber Bill]]. Still, at least that appears in the movie, while Spinies don't get a name-drop. We have a habit of using names from other sources. Still, for something like this, we can chalk this up as a simple error and not what the Spinies should be called in the movie unless the sequel wants to call them that. [[Ptooie#Mario_Kart_8_Deluxe|Even Nintendo has made mistakes in Tweets when naming their subjects.]] We really shouldn't use apparent mistakes like this as their proper name.
