Editing Talk:Swirlypod

== Move to "Creepy-Crawly"? ==

While they have the internal filename of Snail, one Talking Flower in the level Swamp Pipe Crawl has the quote, "So many creepy-crawlies!". [[Handle (Super Mario Bros. Wonder)|Another page]] relating to Super Mario Bros. Wonder also has the page title based off of a Talking Flower quote.

:If the Italian name is used in that quote, then I don't see why not. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 21:21, November 9, 2023 (EST)
::About that... no, the flower just says something on the line "they are crawling on the walls" (I'll check later the full sentence), but most definitely no names: they never uses the names for enemies and items (a part from that sleepy Goomba in 1-1). --{{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 05:30, November 10, 2023 (EST)
::ok, the sentence is "Qui è pieno di bestiacce" ("It's full of critters"). No names --{{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 11:46, November 10, 2023 (EST)
:i don't think "creepy-crawlies" is being used as a proper noun here, it's more of a description. [[User:EvieMaybe|EvieMaybe]] ([[User talk:EvieMaybe|talk]]) 21:36, November 9, 2023 (EST)
::It's most likely a descriptor. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 05:44, November 10, 2023 (EST)

==Move to Maimai ==
While Maimai is (apparently) just japanese for snail, it is still the correct name. We even have precedence for this kind of naming with the enemy [[Kōmori]] from Mario vs. Donkey Kong, as Kōmori is (apparently) japanese for bat, yet the wiki still calls it Kōmori. {{User:Biggestman/sig}} 15:23, January 2, 2024 (EST)

-:The difference here is that these apparently have an internal name ("snail"), and because reasons internal names that happen to be in English are given priority over Japanese names. Kōmori doesn't have that. [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 16:50, January 2, 2024 (EST)
-==Swirlypod==
-I'm just curious where the name "Swirlypod" came from. Personally I love the name and it fits better for the Mario enemy tone, more-so than "snail". --[[User:Sgt. Sarge|Sgt. Sarge]] ([[User talk:Sgt. Sarge|talk]]) 11:22, January 7, 2024 (EST)
-:It was first seen in [https://www.gameinformer.com/guide/2023/10/19/super-mario-bros-wonder-flower-coins-and-wonder-seeds-guide this Game Informer piece], and while the legitimacy was [[Talk:Super Mario Bros.
