:''SMR'' doesn't appear to be janky like ''SPP'' is, and the difference between "Fishin' Boo" and "Fishing Boo" is honestly trivial. It's more of an alternate spelling than a new name outright, like Chain Chomp being hyphenated sometimes. Either way, "Fishing Boo" being used in a second, non-sloppily translated game supports the idea that it's more than just a one-off goof, unlike ''SPP'''s other naming oddities. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 19:47, August 18, 2022 (EDT)

Mario Portal confirms that "Volcano Lotus", the original Super Mario World name, is the correct one. "Volcano Plant" is from Super Princess Peach, whose English localization is janky in the same way that Super Mario RPG's is, containing inconsistencies like "Boss P. Plant" and "Mecha-Spike Top". Therefore, it should not take priority, especially since people are far more likely to be familiar with SMW than SPP. Dark BonesSig.png 18:18, August 18, 2022 (EDT)

But then, what about "Fishin' Boo"? Should we ignore that one because "Fishing Boo" was reused more recently in Super Mario Run? LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:35, August 18, 2022 (EDT)
