== Galaxy boulders ==


On {{file link|ESMB page 127.png|this}} page you uploaded, I see not one, but two entries for boulders with different names. What's up with that? Are they about size difference, speed difference, or whether they travel in loops or off ledges? Or some other factor I haven't thought of? The upper one is is "Gorogoro Iwa," which is what's currently in the foreign names box, with the lower one being (something else)goro Iwa.

Also, do shakeable, and enlargeable objects in Super Mario Maker have a separate filename from their basic and normal sized one besides the shakeable Shoe Goomba? If so, what are they? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 15:07, May 20, 2019 (EDT)

:Regarding the "enlargeable" part of my above comment, it was to know if it references "Kyodai Kuribo" or "Kodeka Kuribo" in any style, given that they are as small as a Hefty Goomba and split into two normal Goombas. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 07:11, May 26, 2019 (EDT)

::* The Japanese name of those trees is just 「木」, they are indeed grouped with the other trees.
::* Those bumpers are known as「おじゃま<span class=explain title="あわ">泡</span>」, another straightforward yet appropriate name.
::* The enlarged enemies don't have a proper name, the color variants are simply known as ''A'' and ''B'' (''nokonokoA'', ''nokonokoB'', ''pukupukuA'', ''pukupukuB'', ''togemetA'', ''togemetB''), whiel the completely different enemies are known by their name (e.g.: ''bros''-''bros_mega'', ''poo''-''choropoo'').--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 21:26, May 27, 2019 (EDT)
== Zen Hyakka art ==
While this isn't about the text, I was wondering if you could scan a better .png picture of that hilariously-mediocre-looking ''Fugumannen'' art from ''Zen Hyakka'', I'd like to crop it like I did with Indy. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:03, June 3, 2019 (EDT)
:I also have questions regarding the Zen Hyakka. First, regarding the Super Mario World ones.
*Does the Blurp either has an unique art and/or panel on how to defeat it [[:File:SMCE_page_45.png|that appears to be drawn by Hiroshi Takaze]]? I do want to see one of these panels, some of them aren't necessarily artwork requests.
*Same as above for:
*[[Urchin]]
*[[Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother]]
*[[Big Boo]]
*[[Big Bubble]]
*[[Eerie]]
*[[Bony Beetle]]
*[[Chainsaw]]
*[[Cheep Cheep]]
*[[Dino Rhino]]
*[[Dino-Torch]]
*[[Dry Bones]]
*[[Fishing Boo]]
*[[Fishin' Lakitu]]
*[[Li'l Sparky]]
*[[Hothead]]
*[[Grinder]]
*[[Pillar]]
*[[Reznor]]
*[[Gray P Switch]]
*[[Grab Block]]
*It would appear that [[:File:SMCE pages 18 19.png|bosses]] also have those panel "artworks" on how to defeat them. Is there one for Wendy?
Additionally, do you own a Yoshi's Island Zen Hyakka this [[:File:Yoshi's Island Zen Hyakka Salvo.jpg|this]]? If not, do you plan on getting one at some point? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 04:53, June 4, 2019 (EDT)
:{{file link|SMCE page 57.png|Here is the scan of the page}}. @FanOfYoshi Every enemy (not the objects) has a short (typically one picture) manga on how to defeat it, realistically I won't be able to upload that many, I also wonder if that would be problematic from a copyright point of view for the wiki. By the way, in case you were wondering, the Wendy one just shows the upper part of the body that is coming out of the pipe. Regarding the Yoshi's Island Zen Hyakka, when book covering individual games are concerned, it's generally best going first with the Nintendo Official Guidebooks from Shogakukan. I don't plan buying the one about ''Super Mario: Yoshi's Island'' right now, since so far I wasn't involved in issues that would require that specific book.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:07, June 19, 2019 (EDT)
== Super Mario Picture Books ==
So, i've seen that there are beautiful artworks of enemies out there. Specifically for the [[Super Mario 64]] volumes. Are there any other enemies from that game that appear in it? We already have the [[Cheep Chomp]] and [[Unagi]] uploaded here. If there are other enemies, which ones? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 14:14, July 12, 2019 (EDT)
:It's not always artwork, many times they are rather characters taking part into the story, in any case, the characters and enemies I've seen so far who are specific to ''Super Mario 64''are:
:*Bubba
:*Unagi
:*Manta
:*Chuckya
:*Scuttle Bug
:*Dorrie
:*Lakitu Bros.
:*Koopa the Quick
:*King Bob-omb
:*Bob-omb Buddy
:Unfortunately, I won't be able to take scans in the following days since I'll be away.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 23:33, July 20, 2019 (EDT)
::Cool! Would you scan them '''once you'll be back''', so i (or Doc von Schmeltwick) can crop these? --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 12:43, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
== More Bullet Bills ==
I already asked about the Bullet Bills in Sunshine, but I think you may have to look a bit further regarding the [[Guided Bullet Bill]]s. [[User:SmokedChili|SmokedChili]] ([[User talk:SmokedChili|talk]]) 03:55, August 1, 2019 (EDT)
:At the moment the OCR app is not working, hopefully by the end of the month a fix will come. Meanwhile you can see the names used in hte ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.''' [https://www.marioboards.com/threads/encyclopedia-super-mario-bros-homebrew-translation.41296/ here], thanks to the great work of {{User|Vent}}. Since the debate over the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' Bullet Bills is quite heated, if needed I can post scans of the entries of the ''Encycloepdia Super Mario Bros.'' as well as of the Nintendo Official Guidebook of ''Super Mario Sunshine'' (that has just a single entry for all the Bullet Bills), so please ask if you need those.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 23:27, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
::Yes please, would like them. [[User:SmokedChili|SmokedChili]] ([[User talk:SmokedChili|talk]]) 22:37, August 5, 2019 (EDT)
== Wigglers ==
Hey Mister Wu, can you verify this edit [[Special:Diff/2757117|here]]? (And while I'm here do you happen to own [https://books.rakuten.co.jp/rb/15200200/ this guidebook]?) {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:19, September 10, 2019 (EDT)
:I don't own that book, with a little luck you can find some useful info in the excerpts of the Nintendo Official Guidebook [https://shogakukan.tameshiyo.me/9784091066084?page=9 here]. Plus I own the Japanese art book (''The art of Super Mario Odyssey''), if it can be useful for you - if you can wait, hopefully [https://www.amazon.com/Art-Super-Mario-Odyssey/dp/1506713750 on November 5 we'll have the English version]. Regarding the ''Mario's Character Assembly Picture Book'', well, I'd need the actual Japanese name so I can check the book and possibly get it, if it is interesting for us.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:57, September 10, 2019 (EDT)
::Does the Japanese ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]]'' say anything, 'cause I think the user might be referring to that under its full title. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:19, September 10, 2019 (EDT)
:::Wigglers aren't in the bios of the {{file link|EncyclopediaSMB - Characters pt1.jpg|main}} {{file link|EncyclopediaSMB - Characters pt2.jpg|characters}}, and on page 64 of the ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'' there's just the introductory information about ''Super Mario USA'', the book the user was mentioning is clearly not that one, so we need to discover which book they might be referring to.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 00:03, September 11, 2019 (EDT)
::::Okay, thanks for that! {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:12, September 11, 2019 (EDT)
== Cheep Chomp ==
I notice [[media:SMP_page_62_excerpt.png|here]] that Cheep Chomp is described as 「巨大なプクプク」, which is remarkably similar to the Japanese name of Boss Bass. Are there any other profiles you know of that describe Cheep Chomp as a giant-sized Cheep Cheep? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 02:40, September 20, 2019 (EDT)
:Not that I know and own. I don't own the Nintendo Official Guidebooks of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, and among the Mario character books that might contain Cheep Chomp, I only know and own the ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'', the ''Super Mario Pia'' and the ''[https://www.kadokawa.co.jp/product/321808000468/ Mario no Character dai Shūgō Zukan]'', the latter of which doesn't list Cheep Chomps, only the small Cheep Cheep variants, i.e. the Eep Cheep and the Spiny Cheep Cheep.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 23:20, September 27, 2019 (EDT)
== Fire, Sumo! ==
Recently, ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'' included an [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdhzMRy7i_o&t=2h7m32s explanation] for Sumo Bro's Japanese name, K.K. - it stands for 「カミナリきょうだい」 (''Kaminari Kyōdai'', Lightning Brothers). I was wondering if you're aware of this being hinted at in any profiles since, to my knowledge, this is entirely new information. I'm also curious if any direct connection with Hammer Bro was brought up at any point (we do know of one source suggesting a similarity to Sledge Bro mentioned [[Talk:Sumo Bro|here]]). To a lesser extent, I'm also curious about this with Amazing Flyin' Hammer Brother, but not as much since it's still listed right after Hammer Bro in the ''Super Princess Peach'' gallery and has much more in common with Hammer Bro. Part of me thinks they were always supposed to be "Bros" but had the name dropped after the Hammer and Sledge Bros were removed from ''Super Mario World''. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:30, July 20, 2020 (EDT)
:Since you asked in this section, I think you’re more interested in the current sources. The ''Super Mario Pia'' doesn’t mention this connection:
:しこを踏む横綱姿のカメ。『NewスーパーマリオブラザーズU』で22年ぶりに復活した。
:登場作品 SMW, NSMU
:The two older books I have, the ''Super Mario Bros. Daizukan'' and the ''Super Mario Zen Hyakka'', don’t seem to add much:
:DAIZUKAN
:動きはのんびりしているが、カメ相撲の横綱。「ドスコーイッ!」としこをふむと、かみなりがおちて地面がほのおの海になる。すり足をしているときに、足もとがすきだらけになるのが弱点だ。
:ZEN HYAKKA
:カメー族の横綱。ブロックの上に乗り、すり足で左右に移動する。こいつが相撲のシコを踏んだら要注意。稲妻が発生し、地面に落ちて広範囲に炎の柱が立つのだ。
:The ''Mario no Character Daishugo Zukan'' from Kadokawa and GZ Brain, the small but most recent encyclopedia, only groups the four Bros. seen in ''Mario Kart Tour'' together, Sledge Bros. and Sumo Bros. aren’t in the book.
:In none of the recent books aside from the ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'' the Amazing Flyin’ Hammer Bros. are listed. The two older books reconfirm the connection with the Hammer Bros., in the Daizukan they are actually mentioned in the bio of the Hammer Bros.:
:DAIZUKAN (Hammer Bro bio)
:代表的なブロス科の戦士。ハンマー(とんかち)をガンガンなげつけてくる凶悪なカメ。2ひきで1組になり、攻撃をいどんでくることが多く、注意が必要だ。 『ワールド』にだけ登場する、空とぶ羽根のはえたブロックにのった《アッパレ》というなかまもいる。
:ZEN HYAKKA
:ハンマーブロスの新しい仲間。空中を左右に往復する。羽根の生えたブロックの上に乗っている。ブロックの上から、つぎつぎとハンマーを投げ落としてくる、なかなかの強敵だ。
:While it’s likely that Sumo Bros. and Amazing Flyin’ Hammer Bros. were meant to replace Sledge Bros. and Hammer Bros. respectively, the books mainly acknowledge the latter connection, with the former only vaguely hinted in the Daijiten (and even then they seemed to rather refer to Sumo Bros. being the heaviest along with Sledge Bros.).—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 00:09, August 4, 2020 (EDT)
== Bonneter biologist ==
Hello, Mister Wu. I raised an issue [[Talk:Bonneter biologist|here]] about the validity of the "Bonneter biologist" as a unique individual in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' based on text from page 67 of the English translation of ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]''. If you have the time, I was wondering if you'd be willing to present and translate the original Japanese text from this page to see if implies the same thing. I understand that nouns are not pluralized in Japanese, so this may be an error on the part of the English translators. (In case the pages are not 1-to-1 between versions, this text would be in the bottom right corner of the page that covers the design of the Bonneters, underneath a screenshot of a Captured Uproot and a male Bonneter in Steam Gardens.) -- [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 21:50, December 25, 2020 (EST)
