:::::::If you'll pardon the history lesson, Prima guides were bad during the time Nintendo Power made their own. But after the latter ended in 2006, that's when Nintendo started to crack the whip on Prima when it came to quality. It was all on Prima from that point, and their guides were that important.

::::::::In my (I guess) controversial opinion, Prima guides were almost always better than Nintendo Power guides when both were officially published concurrently in the 2000's, which probably contributed to the downfall of the latter, but that's neither here nor there. I wouldn't be surprised if the Game Informer writer just ignores the question, because hardly anyone wants to be outed as making things up. So until proven otherwise, the names are taken to be conjectural, which is an article title's last resort. Though, I have a question of my own: since these names are getting popularized anyway, would creating redirects be okay?

'''The problem:''' Stages like [[The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet]] are rendered in-game as {{Fake link|The Final Test[line break]Wonder Gauntlet}}, splitting both halves of the name into two strings. The current standard for transliterating these doesn't properly capture this, so we have to come up with a way to represent a line break without using an actual line break. | '''The problem:''' Stages like [[The Final Test Wonder Gauntlet]] are rendered in-game as {{Fake link|The Final Test[line break]Wonder Gauntlet}}, splitting both halves of the name into two strings.

Personally, I propose an em dash, rendering the name as {{Fake link|The Final Test — Wonder Gauntlet}}. Stages like Badge Challenges and KO Arenas also have a line break, but use a different color for their supertitle. If the bottom proposal passes, the course supertitles would also have an em dash after them. | ||
There might be other, better solutions for how to render this, so please leave them below to add them to the proposal. | There might be other, better solutions for how to render this, so please leave them below to add them to the proposal. | ||

Should stages like [[ | Should stages like [[Wall-Climb Jump I]] and [[Cloud Cover]] actually be named {{Fake link|Badge Challenge Wall-Climb Jump I}} and {{Fake link|Break Time! Cloud Cover}}? The current standard is that they're not part of the name, but 1) they're never displayed without the supertitle in-game, and 2) I believe it's more informative to have them on the article name. If the other proposal also passes, there would also be an em dash separating the supertitle from the course name. | ||

#{{user|Rodmjorgeh}} This is the Nintendo way, and considering this is a wiki that's trying to be as official as possible I think this is the best route. The dash is not present anywhere and while it does look nicer, it proposes the wrong name and creates incorrect assumptions just like the colon, just not as much of a problem. It's also like this in MSBT files - files that hold the text used in the game. Not only that, but when you place a [[Standee]] in a supertitled course (let's say, Badge Challenge [[ | #{{user|Rodmjorgeh}} This is the Nintendo way, and considering this is a wiki that's trying to be as official as possible I think this is the best route.

Moreover, several course names span over two lines whilst both lines are clearly not supposed to be separated ("Welcome to the⏎Flower Kingdom!"), or it is ambiguous whether both lines should be separated ("Pipe-Rock Plateau⏎Palace"). Therefore, choosing when replacing the line break with a dash or not would be arbitrary. | #{{user|Jdtendo}} Per Rodmjorgeh.

So, the official Japanese strategy guide has been released, and it seems like the official names are out there now. I can't verify most of these 100%, but they seem accurate so I figure I should post them here for the enemies that only use internal names. Some of these were already added to articles, but I'll post them again just for posterity's sake. A lot of them are the same as the internal filenames, but some are different. | So, the official Japanese strategy guide has been released, and it seems like the official names are out there now.

Can't verify these names 100% as they're second-hand, but from what I can tell they're likely the actual ones. Hopefully we'll get official English names for some of these before too long.
