The [https://archive.ph/IMSwG English Mario Portal] has a new name for this enemy: '''Bone Twister'''. Now, I don't want to jump the gun on this one since the current name is English and has been around since 2007 (basically its only appearance barring ''3D All-Stars''). However, the article does use an identifier, so the newer name would be more convenient, and perhaps more technically accurate if it's not considered a Tweester. I do want to point out that web content, especially non-guide material, has the same naming priority as the trading card that this came from. I'm curious if others think this should be moved or kept.

:''Do'' these two sources have the same naming priority? Looking at [[MarioWiki:Naming]], I understood "officially Nintendo-licensed" to mean "third-party." That would apply to the trading cards, but surely not to content published on Nintendo's own website, right?<br /> | :''Do'' these two sources have the same naming priority?

::::::::But then there's things like the Galoombas, where referring to them as such would run contrary to our "generally use the names from the time" approach. Nintendo looks like they're keen on retroactively applying the name for older appearances after decades, but that's not the wiki's style (same with how they seem to want to segregate release order per region when we go for the overall worldwide approach). This Tweester isn't too different in that regard. Though, I don't feel too strongly about it since we have things like source exception precedents for various case-by-case reasons.

:::::::::Seems a similar case to Hootie the Blue Fish in my opinion and can be dealt with in a similar manner.
