Talk:Boulder

Star Bits

You can break the boulders by spinning the red spot, but only the first three times you do this, you are given Star Bits. After that, nothing. Chomps in the games act similar, but their Star Bit supply gradually runs down from 6 about 5 times, to 1 about twice, then nothing. I am not trying to say Boulders and Chomps are related.

Wario Land

Is there any official source that says the "boulders" in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 are actually boulders? The non-spiked ones look to me like giant berries, and the spikes ones just seem to be spiked balls.

Different names in various languages including Japanese and Spanish, although both are rocks, one is treated as an obstacle while the other is mentioned as an enemy and acts as one by following certain paths and can be defeated, it also has its own large variant, and that's without having the physical differences, one being a normal boulder and the other one with an embedded ruby, finally, this article talks about the rocks with rubies from SMG and SMG2 exclusively, to avoid confusion.

1. Nintendo101 (talk) I'd honestly rather we see the "Rolling Boulder" (including the Ruby Rocks) split from "boulder" (as in, any generic big rocks). I stress this because the Japanese for Ruby Rocks is 「ゴロゴロ岩」(Gorogoro Iwa) more or less meaning "rolling rock." My impression is that the boulders from Super Mario Galaxy are supposed to be the same subject from Super Mario 64, and I would rather they share the same article. I think that would be a more accurate reflection of what the games are trying to do.
2. PrincessPeachFan (talk): They're the same thing and I don't like the Mario Portal anyways.

@PrincessPeachFan It is not exclusive to Mario Portal, the same Super Mario encyclopedia, although it should not be mentioned, lists them separately, as do other guides.Sorbetti (talk) 13:32, March 17, 2025 (EDT)

So? It walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, so it's a duck. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 09:01, March 18, 2025 (EDT)
