:I meant ''Mini Land Mayhem'' when talking about the screenshot. Sorry. But I think both have wind-up keys that only appear approximently half of the time. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 14:35, 23 August 2016 (EDT) | :I meant ''Mini Land Mayhem'' when talking about the screenshot.

I was the user who renamed this article from the conjectural "[[Mini Pokey]]" using the in-game ''Minis March Again!'' help menu and the ''Tipping Stars'' Construction Zone object label. I similarly renamed "[[Mini Spiky Snifit]]" from ''Minis March Again'', leaving alone the plain "[[Mini Snifit]]" from ''March of the Minis'' and ''Mini-Land Mayhem!'' (as I never got around to checking that particular title or the more recent ''Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge''). On the subject of the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series, it would probably be more accurate to respectively have [[Mini Shy Guy]] and [[Mini Fly Guy]] as “Shy Guy (''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'')” and “Fly Guy (''Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move'')” per [[MarioWiki:Naming|naming policy]], as these appear to be used practically everywhere else outside of the one ''Minis on the Move'' Toy Collection screen instance, which only lists them as “Mini [Color] S/Fly Guy” individually; that, and “[[Mini Bob-omb]]” most likely being unofficial, leads me to be suspicious of the [[Mini Ninji|other]] [[Mini Crab|'Mini']] [[Mini Spear Guy|enemies]] ([http://www.mariowiki.com/images/3/39/Mvsdk_book_i.jpg as well as all the English names for all the first game's enemies unlisted in the manual for that matter]). As for this proposal, I'm wary of renaming with the toy identifier since it's at least not necessarily true given their original appearance. While I feel merging would be the safer option of the two, I would also be okay with leaving the article alone since that might raise the question of whether the other 'Mini' enemies should be merged as well (although I feel more strongly about Mini Bob-omb than anything else, as in addition to actually sharing the same name it has no distinguishing characteristics from a regular Bob-omb whatsoever).
