Talk:Crow

Official name: Radonkel ?

In the official German player's guides "Game Boy Spieleberater 2" and "Super Game Boy Spieleberater" this bird is named "Radonkel". But I don't know whether this is also his name in English. Moving, or not? --Grandy02 12:20, 1 June 2007 (EDT)

Could somebody answer? The official German name is better than no official name, isn't it? --Grandy02 12:14, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

The crows from PM2 and the Bird from SML2 are COMPLETLY different characters. - Ultimatetoad

Actually, to be honest, we are an english wiki. Since it is conjectural, we give the article a common name so people can easily find it without too much searching. Wouldn't Crow be much easier to look up than Radonkel?Knife (talk) 15:54, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

Yes, of course, but Radonkel is official, Crow isn't. The template tells "If an official name for this material is discovered, please move the conjecturally titled information to the appropriate page.". --Grandy02 04:29, 23 June 2007 (EDT)

Crows in Donkey Kong

The "Crows" in the Game Boy Donkey Kong resemble the bigger Nitpickers in Donkey Kong Jr. and act like them (the stage they appear in is also similar to that respective stage in DKJR). I think the DK "Crow" should be merged with Nitpicker, and Bird (Donkey Kong) as well, and a part-conjecture template should be added then. --Grandy02 11:37, 9 January 2010 (EST)

Considering everything is conjectural anyway, this sounds like a good idea. They do look very similar, and if they have the same behaviour, this is probably their origin, as Snapjaws also make an appearance on the Game Boy. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:04, 9 January 2010 (EST)

Luigi's Mansion crows

I'm thinking it might make sense to split the Luigi's Mansion 2 and 3 crows from here. They're enemies confirmed to have a unique name (at least in 3) in Japanese (and Chinese and Korean, predictably), so it seems like a similar situation to stuff like Frog (Yoshi's Story).

Is Kāra found in the games themselves? It's not clear to me in which language the script of LM2 was originally written, but LM3's seems to be Japanese. (Ryunosuke Suzuki from Nintendo EPD is credited as the game's writer.) -- KOOPA CON CARNE 10:00, April 29, 2023 (EDT)

Kāra is found in-game, in Luigi's Mansion 3's ScareScraper, specifically the objective known in English as "Defeat the Crows!" Blinker (talk) 10:13, April 29, 2023 (EDT)

By the way, while not exactly crow-related, some of E. Gadd's lines in the Japanese version of LM2 confirm the spiders' Japanese (and Korean) name. Considering there was an official Japanese guide for LM2, that's probably where these pests' unsourced names came from. Who knows, maybe the Switch port will help here. Also, regarding LM2's localization, the game was probably originally written in Japanese as well, considering the credits only mention NOA and NOE localization (with the Korean version of the game additionally mentioning Korean and Chinese localization, which is absent from other versions of the credits for some reason) Blinker (talk) 16:58, October 23, 2023 (EDT)

Mario + Rabbids

Is the Mario + Rabbids bird confirmed to be a crow? I haven't played the game, but I ask because if it isn't, then it's just a recolored little bird and should be covered in that page rather than here, I think. Blinker (talk) 17:18, October 4, 2023 (EDT)

I don't think it belongs here either, that info should be moved to the little bird article. Ray Trace^(T|C) 12:05, October 6, 2023 (EDT)

Okay, can I go ahead with that, then? Blinker (talk) 13:56, October 6, 2023 (EDT)

Yep! Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:02, October 6, 2023 (EDT)

Split Luigi's Mansion series crows (and frogs)

This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Current time: Wednesday, May 1, 2024, 22:46 GMT

This proposal aims to split the crow enemy from Luigi's Mansion 2 and 3 into its own page, titled "Crow (Luigi's Mansion series)". These crows are a recurring enemy with a unique Japanese (and Chinese and Korean) name. While these games are developed by Next Level Games, they appear to have been written in Japanese originally (I think? LM2's English translation is weird enough for me to wonder if it even is a translation or if the two scripts were written in parallel, but probably not), and the other pest enemies have similarly generic English names (mouse, bat...).

Also, if this passes, the Luigi's Mansion 2 frog will be split too. Granted, I haven't managed to find a source for its name yet (there's only so much one can do with YouTube footage and guide preview pages), but sources have already been found for the mouse, spider, crow and Robomb, so chances are the frog's name is also correct. Also, it would just be inconsistent for that to be the only LM series pest to not have its own page.
