Editing Talk:F.L.U.D.D.

== Water Shooter ==
Is "Water Shooter" an official name for the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' F.L.U.D.D.s? If so, it should be split, and noted in the Trivia as a similar object to F.L.U.D.D., not listed here... - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 12:46, 24 November 2007 (EST)

Yeah your right should we removed as soon as we can! [[User:Princess Butterfly|Princess Butterfly]] 14:19, 24 November 2007 (EST)

== FLUDD or F.L.U.D.D. ==
F.L.U.D.D. can be spelled either way. {{User:Alphaclaw11/sig}}
:Yes, but FLUDD is the name in ''Sunshine'', and F.L.U.D.D. is the more recent name in ''Brawl''. Each section should use the name as it was used in the game the section is about, and the general sections should use the more recent name. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 14:22, 24 November 2007 (EST)
:: I was saying there's no point in making FLUDD, F.L.U.D.D. {{User:Alphaclaw11/sig}}
:::What? F.L.U.D.D. is the most recent name, it should be the article name. What's the problem? - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 17:00, 24 November 2007 (EST)

==Huh?==
Is F.L.U.D.D. a Character or artifect? {{User:GalacticPetey/sig}}

He's definitely not an artifact, but he is both an object and a character.--{{User:Knife/sig}} 22:31, 6 September 2009 (EDT)

==Detail needed...?==

According to the appearances section F.L.U.D.D. appeared in Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum as an enemy. If this is indeed true then there must be more detail in the article. {{User:MrConcreteDonkey/sig}} 16:40, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
:It was a cameo. Cameos are covered at [[Video game references]]. {{User:Reversinator/sig}}
::As it is not the actual F.L.U.D.D. (and Mario), but a parody, and Nintendo has nothing to do with the ''Asterix & Obelix '' game (aside from licensing the DS version), I don't think it is needed in the F.L.U.D.D. article.Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 19:05, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I for one agree. I was looking at F.L.U.D.D's page and noticed it said he was an enemy in Asterix & Obelix XXL 2: Mission Las Vegum and I want to learn more on that.

== I'm positive who voiced it/him/her ==

I am 99% sure that '''Kit Harris''' voiced FLUDD in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. If you look at the [[List of Super Mario Sunshine staff|credits]], only five people did voices for that game: [[Charles Martinet]], [[Jen Taylor]], Kit Harris, [[Scott Burns]], and [[Dolores Rogers]], along with Wes Monk as the [[Delfino Police]], [[Kazumi Totaka]] as [[Yoshi]], and (supposedly) [[Deanna Mustard]] as the [[Pianta Judge]]. Of the five credited, only Kit Harris doesn't have an article, but by her profile on IMDb, she also did a voice in [[List of Mario Superstar Baseball staff|Mario Superstar Baseball]]! (FLUDD wasn't in that game, though.)

Thus, I conclude that FLUDD was voiced by Kit Harris. Her performance still is so androgynous that I tend to call FLUDD an "it". I also suspect that, like in ''Luigi's Mansion'', Charles Martinet did all of the male character voices. He did all of the male ghosts (Jen Taylor did all the female ghosts, by this logic), and in this game (''Super Mario Sunshine''), he does most if not all of the male Piantas and Nokis, including the [[Pianta Attorney]]. Does this sound plausible? [[User:Dogman15|Dogman15]] 06:43, 10 January 2011 (EST)

== Nozzles ain't working ==

I have a copy of SMS, and I have unlocked all of the nozzles in every level I have (I got 36 shine sprites) but the rocket and turbo nozzles won't work. Turbo nozzle just makes Mario run forward and Rocket Nozzle just makes Mario stand still. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is my game stuffed up? {{User:SKmarioman/sig}}
:It's probally a lag or something. Clean your GameCube disk, clean the memory cards and everything. Then try to find a way to use it, or just "read the enclosed instructions book". --{{User:Mario Fan 123/sig}} 06:07, 19 February 2011 (EST)
::Actually, it was my controller. I have a GameCube controller that looks like a Wii Classic Controller, so the R button doesn't push as far as it should. I got a normal Gamecube controller. Problem solved! {{User:SKmarioman/sig}}

== Spinning ==
The spinning attack shouldn't be in the trivia. I'll change it later if nobody does it.

== German name ==
"08/17" is not a direct pun towards "08/15" but instead a reference to "08/16" in the German name of [[Poltergust 3000]], referring to that F.L.U.D.D. is E.Gadd's next invention after it, which is also some evidence to the thesis of the two backpack items being Mario/Luigi counterparts of each other. (Sorry for the long sentence!)

== Split the Hover, Turbo, and Rocket Nozzles ==

{{TPP}}
In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', these three "power up" Nozzles are treated as basically equivalent to the three power up caps in ''Super Mario 64''. The main difference is that you get the first one as a freebie, these appear mutually exclusive unlike the mixable ones from ''64'', and these ones last until replaced by another. They all follow a theme per game, come from specially colored boxes that at first appear transparent, prompt a save upon being "officially" unlocked, and are treated as distinct obtainable items that grant the power up. Contrast with the Squirt Nozzle, which along with being the absolute default, is also never replaced and is treated as a core part of F.L.U.D.D.'s being.

===Support===
#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - Per
#{{User|Pseudo}} Most definitely — I’m quite surprised this wasn’t done a long time ago. Each one of these is very much a powerup in its own right. Frankly I’d be in support of splitting the Squirt Nozzle too, though it’s more of a gray area since it’s always equipped and is essentially the default, but the game largely does treat it the same as other nozzles in terms of UI presence and so forth.
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per proposal. Why haven't we split them years ago?!
#{{User|MegaBowser64}} per owl
#{{User|Mario}} Squirt.

-#{{User|Mister Wu}} Agreed, they are the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' equivalent of the powerups of the other games, [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/history/sunshine/index.html even the Japanese official Mario history site lists them  in the "POWER UP" section]
-#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} These are clearly power-ups. How are they not already split?

-The Squirt Nozzle is included in that "POWER UP" section too, though... [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 08:04, December 10, 2023 (EST)
