Reason for reference[edit]

Just to clarify: I am using a French walk-through as a reference as the loading screen "tip" in this language explicitly states that these dragons do not fly anymore, which is not the case of the English version. My signature. 18:34, October 27, 2023 (EDT)

Title[edit]

So I notice that the current names in other languages so far refer to "fossilized dragons" just like the article quote. Are we sure this is supposed to be "Dragon (Super Mario Bros. Wonder)" and not "Fossilized dragon"? LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:08, October 30, 2023 (EDT)

Unless "fossilized dragon" is used consistently in the game, I'd rather the article keeps "dragon" as its title because it's more succinct. If it's gonna stay like this, I'd also entertain a merge with Dragon (Yoshi's Story), seeing as they are both generically called dragons in English and Japanese, both are serpent-like creatures that act as moving platforms, and both use the Blargg-esque design seen in other Mario dragons. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 16:45, October 30, 2023 (EDT)
Myself, I'd merge the living version to the Yoshi's Story Dragons and have "fossilized dragon" split to the ring-shaped platforms. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:57, October 30, 2023 (EDT)
