Talk:Homing Chomp

Silver/Homing

Before we decide to move this to Homing Chomp, I do want to point out that (capitalized) Silver Chomp is used consistently throughout the original Prima guide, and it also pairs better with the Galaxy games' other recolor variant, Gold Chomp. LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:20, August 20, 2022 (EDT)

Prima also has a habit of taking title capitalizations at face value coughFieryDinoPiranhacough without so much as a cursory glance at the Lang-of-Origin name. In the stage title, "Silver Chomp" matches "Silver WanWan" as a generic descriptor. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:54, August 20, 2022 (EDT)

I suppose (though Prima is not the only one to have done that). In that case, should we nix "Pink Boo" in favor of "Block Boo" in Super Mario Sunshine? LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:59, August 20, 2022 (EDT)

That wasn't in-game for Sunshine, so unless it's lowercase in the guide, seems a bit apples-to-oranges. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:20, August 20, 2022 (EDT)

I mean, it's lowercase "pink Boo" in the three other guides, so just like Silver Chomp, it's literally only Prima using "Pink Boo" as a name. LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:48, August 20, 2022 (EDT)

Seems sound to me. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:08, August 21, 2022 (EDT)

Look at the name of the mission "Silver Chomp Grudge Match". Seems that it is "Silver Chomp" as there's no more official source than in-game. 106.69.169.213 08:07, May 9, 2023 (EDT)

Move back to Silver Chomp

The current name of this article comes solely from Mario Portal, which was from about a year ago, whereas the name "Silver Chomp" was used in-game (albeit for a mission title) which is even its onky appearance. I want to point out that a recent proposal to move Pianta Thrower back to "Chuckster" passed with overwhelming support for a similar reason to this one, a name that has been used in a game still taking priority over a newer name that hasn't.

Maybe this could be treated similarly to Plurp / Plirp / Coo Coo, as in the title remains "Homing Chomp", the first sentence says "originally known as Silver Chomp", and then most of the rest of the article, being in the context of Galaxy 2, calls it a Silver Chomp as well?

I'm afraid I'd still rather do what the proposal intends. Nightwicked Bowser 14:39, October 7, 2023 (EDT)
