Name
It's name is Oyaneko? -- Bowser64 (Talk - Sandbox) 11:54, April 27, 2021 (EDT)
- It's the official Japanese name. Ma-sansunsun found it and others in the "Super Mario 3D World + Fury World Perfect Guide", which appears to be an official guidebook for the game. - 0blivion (talk) 12:28, April 27, 2021 (EDT)
- Famitsu's "Perfect Guide" seems to have been made without Nintendo's involvement. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:35, April 27, 2021 (EDT)
- Would these names not be counted as official, then? Now I'm not sure if we should keep them up or not. I think they're still a better substitute than the conjectural names. 0blivion (talk) 12:57, April 27, 2021 (EDT)
- Well, in at least one other case, the unofficial name was outright removed and scan references were deleted. For this article, I think we can instead use the Japanese Twitter name. I guess we can keep the other names but mark them as conjecture until a better source comes along? (Or I suppose someone can look into the internal names sometime.)
