:Spiked Fun Guy (Yoshi's Island) is referred to as "Sanbo" (Cactus) in Japan. It's green, and has the same black-with white pupils eye designs that Pokeys often have. They're a typical spiked enemy in behavior. Potted ones are similar, but have a different name in all languages, and use their pots to hide in. The things from Yoshi's Story are not Pokeys at all, they look like Gummy Bear sea urchins with huge lips and dragon feet, and I think just sorta shuffle back and forth while facing the screen, like Goombas. Been some time, no too sure. But they're all officially different. I included so many options because this is such a cluster. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 21:22, 29 August 2017 (CT) | :Spiked Fun Guy (Yoshi's Island) is referred to as "Sanbo" (Cactus) in Japan.

I was going to say, why not turn this article into a disambiguation page, considering [http://i.imgur.com/ym4Tt43.png "Spiked Fun Guy"] has also referred to a [[Tap-Tap|third enemy]] in a [[Yoshi Touch & Go|''Yoshi'' game]]? Also to consider: while the [[Media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Nintendo Power]] and [http://s746.photobucket.com/user/chabo_drums/media/20110616/20110616IMG_3150.jpg.html Kanpeki] guides list the potted variety separately, the [[Media:Advance 3 Shogakukan P16.png|Shogakukan]] guide doesn't, and it sort of seems like the difference between Seedy Sally/Short Fuse and Grinder/Ukiki [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 22:30, 29 August 2017 (EDT) | |||

What we have here is three separate species. The Spiked Fun Guy, who is considered to be Pokey in Japan, the Potted Spiked Fun Guy, and the "Spiked Rolling Kid." We can either split all three off, split just the Yoshi's Story one off, split just the Potted one off, split them all and merge the original with Pokey, or just leave it like it is.
Proposer: Doc von Schmeltwick (talk)
Deadline: "September 13, 2017, 23:59 GMT"
Split all into separate pages
- Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) What I think is best
Split all and merge Yoshi's Island default one with Pokey
Merge both Yoshi's Island types with Pokey and move Yoshi's Story details to "Spiked Fun Guy (Yoshi's Story)"
Split away Potted version, keep Yoshi's Story details
Split away Yoshi's Story version, keep Potted details here
Do Nothing

As someone who isn't particularly familiar with Yoshi's Island games (and as someone who thinks that the article is rather lacking in information), could you tell me the difference between each enemy? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 22:18, 29 August 2017 (EDT)
