Talk:Big Grinder

Merge

Should we merge? Unlike other "big" subjects, this is not distinguished from the normal Grinder. -- FanOfYoshi 01:20, August 19, 2023 (EDT)

Doesn't appear to have a name either. I don't think we split Skewers on size. We do, however, have an article on Giant Spiked Ball. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 12:27, August 19, 2023 (EDT)

At least this one had different Japanese names. -- FanOfYoshi 15:52, August 19, 2023 (EDT)

Name is conjectural, Giant Spiked Ball is named, and no, we do not split Skewers based on size (and they even come in many variants, plus their Mario Maker counterpart is visually distinct from the pillared ones we had). I'd say we can safely merge this. Ray Trace^(T|C) 16:10, August 22, 2023 (EDT)

I think we can merge this, but I want to bring up how SMG2 also has them in two sizes.... except instead of having one as the "big" subtype, it has one as the "small" subtype (but that may be only differentiated in internal data). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:19, August 22, 2023 (EDT)

I'm also pretty sure that huge Skewer in NSMBW also has its own filename and looks drastically different than the typical Skewer, but also still merged. Tbh, I'd also merge the mini Grinders together if they are only differentriated by their file name and if the guide only mentions them as "oh they come in two different sizes".

I'm merely saying that it needs investigated more to see if it is indeed filename only or if a guidebook differentiates the SMG2 ones. This one here can be merged just fine. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:41, August 22, 2023 (EDT)
