Editing Talk:Sand block

I moved this page back to Sand Block. Before you move it anywhere, please explain why "Sand Block" is an offensive name in any way. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 08:42, 17 January 2010 (EST)

==Move ''Donkey Kong'' info?==
Given how they look in the [[:File:SandBlockMVDK.png|remake]] and that they give little indication of being sand outside of ''Sunshine'', I think the non-respawning ''Donkey Kong'' version might instead be [[Crumble Block]].

: What's the Japanese name for Crumble Block? Because the ones in Donkey Kong '94 and Mario vs Donkey Kong are referred to by different Japanese names. [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 13:14, October 9, 2023 (EDT)
::Don't know, but the internal filename in the remake is "BlockDisintegrate", which again doesn't indicate sand. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 05:32, March 10, 2024 (EDT)
::Another update: [https://archive.org/details/nintendo-power-issue-181-july-2004/page/86/mode/2up here] in this ''Nintendo Power'' article assisted by game director Yukimi Shimura, they're referred to as "[[Crumble Block|crumbling block]]s" in the Donkey Kong Jungle section and "[[Falling Platform|crumbling walkway]]" in the Fire Mountain section.

::That sounds like it then. The remake also has these blocks look cracked, bearing a resemblance to the Crumble Blocks in the DS games, so I'd hard agree on moving the content to Crumble Block. --{{User|EleCyon}} 06:36, July 14, 2024 (EDT)

-:::I've done some work on [[Falling Platform|one of the platforms part of this discussion]], and cursorily, It seems like the relationship between it and these [[Crumble Block]]s is analogous to the one between [[Cloud Lift]]s and [[Cloud Block]]s, and I would prefer keeping them split. I know there is an example of one of these blocks being called a "crumbling walkway," but the impression I have is that that was an informal name adopted by Prima Games for the ''Super Mario Odyssey'' guidebook because they they swap it out with several other names in several instances.
-:::However, I think moving the other "sand" blocks here from the ''Donkey Kong'' games to the [[Crumble Block]] article is a great idea. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 12:52, December 12, 2024 (EST)
