::Side note: is there really no better English name available for [[Cog (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|this """cog"""]]? It's not really a cog at all (rather, a ball-shaped lift attached to chains), and several other languages don't refer to it as such either (the Japanese name's a portmanteau of "escalator" and ''tama'', "ball", the Italian name similarly translates to "lift sphere", and I believe the [https://archive.org/details/super-game-boy-spieleberater/page/n13/mode/2up German guide] calls it a transport platform).<br>EDIT: [[:File:NPDec1992P48.jpg|Page 48 of the December 1992 issue of ''Nintendo Power'']] refers to these """cogs""" as "balls on chains" - perhaps it can be moved to {{fake link|Ball on chains (''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'')}}? The ''actual'' cogs (the platform/obstacle ones) are referred to as gears in ''Nintendo Power'', too, btw. {{User:Arend/sig}} 19:38, April 11, 2024 (EDT) | ::Side note: is there really no better English name available for [[Cog (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|this """cog"""]]?

:::I would support renaming the "cog" from SML2 to ball and chain. Might be worth raising in that article's talk page. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 20:29, April 11, 2024 (EDT) | :::I would support renaming the "cog" from SML2 to ball and chain.
