Talk!
Decide on a name for this thing[edit]
|
This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit this section or its subsections. If you wish to discuss the article, please do so in a new section below the proposal. |
Move to ring 5-0
Let's quickly go over all the names this item has had in the games it was in/mentioned in:
- SMB3: Here they are striped, and are known as candy rings by Nintendo Power and lifesavers/life savers by PRIMA.
- NSMBW: In this game, they're now yellow and are known as deadly rings and death rings by PRIMA, but just rings in the trading card.
- NSMBU: In this game, they are referred to as energy rings by PRIMA.
- SMM2: No name given by external sources and/or the game, and I doubt the internal name is anything noteworthy.
- M&LSS: Called gold rings by the Player's guide and magic rings by PRIMA.
- M&LPJ: No external name or in-game name given.
- M&LBIS+BJJ: In-game they are referred to as boomerang rings because they act like boomerangs now.
- PMCS: Wendy calls her ring a golden ring in-game.
- MK8: They're called magic rings in Wendy's bio.
- M&S2016: The dialogue in-game just calls these rings.
(you can find all the sources for these names on the main article page)
Since it's clear there's not going to be a single consistent English name for this subject, and I don't want to gore this page up with 15 options, let's just decide on two possibilities; do we move it to "ring", or leave it as is?
Proposer: Somethingone (talk)

Rename to ring[edit]
- Somethingone (talk) I prefer this one personally, as the "candy" part of them was lost after SMB3
- LinkTheLefty (talk) "Ring" is a constant part of the name (except for that one time), and clearly the original "candy" part was referring to the candy cane-like version only in Super Mario Bros. 3 and older Super Mario Maker 2 styles.
- Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) - the original coloration was due to sharing a palette with Wendy anyways; her original sprite had red-and-white bracelets.
- TheFlameChomp (talk) Per proposal.
- RHG1951 (talk) - Per all.
Leave as candy ring[edit]

- We could just move this page to "Ring (projectile)". Somethingone (talk) 10:48, April 12, 2022 (EDT)
