 ==Metals??==

 Are you sure they are metals?? because they look like medals to me, just without the string that you can put it around the neck. {{User:KS3/sig}} 19:29, 23 April 2010 (EDT)

+== They are Medals ==
+http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/sb4j/adventure/adventure9.html
+See the large text near the top of the page in the link? If you don't know what one I'm talking about, here it is:
+http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/sb4j/adventure/images/adventure_9_title.gif
+Now, that text, in text form is 彗星メダル.
+Using Google Translator, to translate from Japanese to English:
+http://translate.google.com/#ja|en|%E5%BD%97%E6%98%9F%E3%83%A1%E3%83%80%E3%83%AB
+It clearly says Medals, doesn't it?
+{{unsigned|TheUltimateKoopa}}
+:sounds good. --{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
+Translated literally, it does say medal, as that is what the Japanese text says (「メダル」''medaru'' is the katakana transcription of the word "medal"). However, we can't simply make our own translations of terms and label them official imo. Is there any proof at the moment that Nintendo is not ''intentionally'' referring to them as "metals"? Japanese names in Mario games are very rarely translated literally. I personally don't think we should use an unofficial translation of a Japanese name to refer to these if we have an official English term (Comet Metal) available, unless "Comet Medal" (in that exact spelling and language) has officially been used as well.--[[User:Vellidragon|vellidragon]] 20:32, 26 April 2010 (EDT)
+Agree with Vellidragon. According to an old proposal, the first official english name should be kept in the article, and in this case, despite a potential mistake, the "Comet '''Metal'''" name will stay here until more information from (only) english sources, specially from NOA -that will be the first country to release the game- come out and may change this. {{User:Coincollector/sig}}
+Can someone translate this for me??  {{User:KS3/sig}} 17:33, 29 April 2010 (EDT)

+<blockquote>
+In each galaxy, there has been hidden one "Comet Medal". If you collect a lot of them, a Prankster Comet will appear and it will become possible to challenge a new scenario.

+::Challenge a new SCENARIO??? Prankster comet??? Does that mean that it does not unlock whole galaxies, but just stars? Well if that's true, STOP (whoever it is) posting that "Flip-Swap Galaxy is unlocked by collecting x amount of comet medals".--[[User:TheUltimateKoopa|TheUltimateKoopa]] 07:26, 5 May 2010 (EDT)
+==Hmm==
+Should we add a section to the table to show exactly where it is found, like a screenshot? --{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
+:Never mind, I don't think it's work.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
+== Unnecessary sourcing ==
+Do we really need a reference pointing out that they are named Comet Medals? There's a perfectly legit quote at the top of the page which clearly states that they are indeed named that, hence why I say that it is unnecessary. {{User:RandomYoshi/sig}} 06:42, 22 November 2011 (EST)
+== Throwback comet medal ==
+We should get more detailed because some people don't know about shoot into the wild blue {{unsigned|161.97.140.17}}
+:It already says it's "found on the overhang under the pole", plus readers can just click on the [[Shoot into the Wild Blue]] link to know more about it anyway. And please sign your comments with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:11, 17 March 2017 (EDT)
