Talk:Raven (chick)

Name

This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

I don't know if Nintendo Power's Super Mario Advance 3 guide changed this, but these enemies appear to be nameless in the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island guide. However, the Japanese name has been confirmed in Shogakukan's Super Mario Advance 3 guide. Additionally, it turns out that the Japanese version of Super Princess Peach refers to the "Raven" enemies as Hina-kyū, which matches these smaller Ravens and not the bigger ones that also go by that name. Therefore, unless there's another source contradicting it, the article should be titled "Raven (small)" after the name in the in-game Super Princess Peach Glossary.

Not anymore, now that there's a rule that says that unique names should take priority if possible. However, a citation would still be nice. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:24, 7 November 2017 (EST)

Would you happen to know which levels these guys appear in? The NP guide doesn't have a concise glossary. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:39, 7 November 2017 (EST)

@Doc: That doesn't apply here since it's the only working source we have so far, unless we resort to the internal name (/StageEnemy/hinakyu_D02_ncg.bin / /StageEnemy/hinakyu_D02_ncl.bin), which is a romanization of the Japanese. If we leave it as Mini-Raven, it should be considered conjectural unless there's a source, but Super Princess Peach already has a name for it (albeit an inconsistent one).

@Time Turner: I believe they appear in the same stages as ordinary Ravens, which I think consist of Worlds 3-8, 5-7, & 5-8. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:42, 8 December 2017 (EST)
