#{{User|bwburke94}} Per all. The current "Slide" page is a redirect to [[Drift]], so there's no conflict in moving this.

#{{User|Bazooka Mario}} "Slide" already implies uneven ground, so "slope" is redundant.
#{{User|WeirdDave13}} Per all.
#{{User|FanOfYoshi}} Per all, especially Toadette the Achiever.
#{{User|GrainedCargo192}} Per all.
#{{User|Owencrazyboy9}} Having an unofficial name be the name of an article when we already have an official name is just baaaaaad. I just had to make a sheep pun after what happened last week! Per all.

::In ''Sunshine'', though, a continued dive (particularly through water) turns into a distinct slide; it also occurs independently of dives in SM64, if a slope is too steep to walk up.

:::It seems to me that in this case, the dive is the actual move, and the slide is merely a result of the move being executed. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:27, 30 November 2018 (EST)

==Slope Slide==
The name ''Slope Slide'' is from the notebook in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', as you can see [https://twitter.com/eeveebeingcute/status/1078670382650048513 here]. Should the page be re-renamed, as the reason that the page was renamed ''slide'' was because it was thought that ''Slope Slide'' is unofficial, even though it is official. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 10:16, 28 December 2018 (EST)
:I forgot this name. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 11:49, 28 December 2018 (EST)
::Even so, the move is generally named "slide" across a wide variety of sources, so I think it's better if it keeps its current name for now. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 11:51, 28 December 2018 (EST)
