Editing Talk:Dōryī

Aren't these the same as the plants in [[Mario vs Donkey Kong]]? Are they a type of [[Venus Fire Trap]]?--[[User:Platform|Platform]] 21:50, 22 September 2011 (EDT)

== Merge with Fire Piranha Plant ==
{{Settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|gray|cancelled by proposer}}
It seems that a fair amount of articles on this wiki whose titles are apparently derived from foreign sources are named without proper official citations. In a small effort to minimize unsourced / conjectural pages, I propose merging this enemy with Fire Piranha Plant. ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' directly took the basic gameplay, concepts, and certain obstacles from the Game Boy ''Donkey Kong''. The Fire Piranha Plant of ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' is almost identical to the "Dolly" flower, spitting the same projectiles at a similar rhythm. From these two related games alone, there isn't much to tell them apart except for their bud designs.

===Merge===
#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} Due to both the identical behavior and uncertain naming.

===Don't merge===

===Comments===
If you're uncertain about the name, why not ask the person who inserted the name in the first place? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:I would, but that user doesn't seem particularly active since their last contribution was almost a year ago, and only came back for a day after about two years prior. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 18:18, 11 April 2015 (EDT)
::Cobold isn't the one who gave the article its current name; he only created it. [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=D%C5%8Dry%C4%AB&oldid=1617157 Fizzle], a user who is [[Special:Contributions/Fizzle|still active]], made the change. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:::You're absolutely right, good for getting on top of that. Fizzle was also the person who [[Talk:Donkey_Kong_(Game_Boy)#Enemy_names...|supported]] the [http://honndana.sakura.ne.jp/mario/ Daijiten] a short while ago, but as we know, its overreliance has had [http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=27067.0 disagreement]. For now, I'll put this proposal on pause until Fizzle responds with clarification. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 18:49, 11 April 2015 (EDT)

For future reference, the source of the name seems to be [http://honndana.sakura.ne.jp/mario/dr.cgi?key=2876 the Super Mario Daijiten]. [[User:Niiue|Niiue]] ([[User talk:Niiue|talk]]) 07:03, 27 December 2015 (EST)

== Tane Pakkun ==

{{Talk}}
Following up on the above, it turns out that the (now-sourced) ''Dōryī'' are '''not''' quite the equivalent of Fire Piranha Plants in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', but rather ''Tane Pakkun'' ("Seed Piranha") [http://www.hit-japan.com/book10/P1710539.JPG according to Japanese guides.] The Fire Piranha Plant references must be changed when referring to that game, but is ''Tane Pakkun'' considered its own enemy compared to ''Dōryī''? Outside of the bud redesign and gaining Piranha Plant association, they seem to be practically identical enemies, spitting seeds at the same rate and rhythm. The article mentions that the ''Dōryī'' enemies from ''Game Boy Donkey Kong'' can be harmlessly touched whereas the ''Tane Pakkun'' enemies from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' cannot and will result in damage, but the same thing applies to Monchee (which also have different appearances), and the Garbage Can enemy variants are renamed as well (Dust Man/ Bucketman). So, should ''Dōryī'' be renamed to ''Tane Pakkun'', or should they be separate articles? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 18:00, 26 August 2016 (EDT)
:Honestly, Tane Pakkun seems like a separate enemy from Dōryī (but likely based on it, like how DKGB had three enemies with the same behavior as [[Nitpicker]]s). [[User:Niiue|Niiue]] ([[User talk:Niiue|talk]]) 00:10, 28 August 2016 (EDT)
