Talk:Thorny flower

Official name?--Knife (talk) 16:17, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

Actually, I don't know if that's the official name. That's just the name that appeared on the enemies list on the Super Mario Galaxy page. I should probably add that conjecture template. - Smashgoom202 14:28, 23 October 2009 (EDT)

Seeing the {{better source}} tag on this page, I think we should decide on the name of this page. I have no preference either way, but I think we should probably look into this.

• The in-game description for the Mario Party: Island Tour calls these things "thorny flowers". The selling points are that the name is in-game and is the most recent, but the drawback is that it's more of a descriptor term than an actual name, though at least it's not a lengthy descriptor unlike, say, "flowers with sharp spikes".
• Page 187 of the Super Mario 3D Land Prima guide calls them "thistles". While it's less of a lengthy descriptor, it has the disadvantage of being a name from a guide, and also is less recent.

I'm fine with either decision that's made.

Stick with "Thorny flower"

1. FanOfYoshi (talk) If it's not capitalized, we should search for a name in the Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 Prima guides. I wonder what are both Japanese names for both normal and big.
2. Scrooge200 (talk) I think "thorny flower" describes their appearance in more recent games better than "thistle."
3. Bazooka Mario (talk) Current name is perfectly fine.
