Editing Talk:Mecha Nokonoko

==Alternate name!==
The [https://imgur.com/a/URZnz KC Deluxe adaptation] features an alternate name for Mecha Nokonoko - 「カメ<span class="explain"title="ほうだい">砲台</span>」 (''Kame Hōdai'', Turtle Artillery) on pages 68 and 84. Which name should take priority? Mecha Nokonoko doesn't include macrons and seems easier to remember, but Kame Hōdai is also on the manga's included mini-guide right on page 2, and guide material typically takes priority.

:I'd go for Kame Hōdai, since it is used in the mini guide. {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 11:25, July 30, 2022 (EDT)
::Waiting to see if there's a little more input, but in the meantime, I'd like to point out that ''Super Mario-kun'' volume 9 was released on December 16, 1993 - the same year as the game - whereas the KC Deluxe one released later on June 6, 1994.

:::Beside agreeing more with Somethingone, I want also to point out that don't we usually go for the most recent name? I mean, we don't use "Little Goombas", "Boo Buddy" and so on... being replaced by "Goomba", "Boo" and so on. Now sure, those are because the latter names are more used, but, I also see little cases such the ''Yoshi's Island'' exclusive enemies being called with the most recent name. --{{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 13:30, August 21, 2022 (EDT)
::::This is a bit of a unique case since the names come from two competing manga adaptations. Plus, looking through the [https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/index.php?topic=14805.0 KC catelog], their mini-guides seem like inconsistent afterthoughts. For some examples on what I mean, check out the first ''Super Mario Land 2'' and ''Yoshi's Story'' parts. The mini-guide for ''Super Mario Land 2'' uses generic names despite the {{file link|KC Mario Super Mario Land 2 Enemies.jpg|cast roll}} having the proper names, and for ''Yoshi's Story'', the bosses Cloud N. Candy and Cloudjin have different names between the mini-guide and {{file link|YS Manga Enemies.jpg|cast roll}} (though in that instance, it's the mini-guide that seems more correct). There's a little of this in the second ''Road Hunting'' part, where the mini-guide on page 3 labels the Chargin' Chuck boss as 「ブル」 (''Buru'', Bul/Bull), but the caption and manga on page 50 introduce it as a 「<span class="explain"title="きょだい">巨大</span>ブル」 (''Kyodai Buru'', Giant Bul/Bull).

Do we keep the japanese name or just go with the translated japanese name "Mecha Koopa Troopa"?
