Include March of the Minis info?
In Boss Game 5 of Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, there are water drop objects that don't have their own article. It's highly doubtful that it's a direct reference, but you never know - NST is American, so maybe someone on the development team grew up with the Coleco Adam port and unconsciously put it there. Should the game's "water drop" be included here? LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:45, March 11, 2024 (EDT)
- If we go that route, we might as well put the water droplets from Wario Land 2 and 3 here too, since these also have a gameplay purpose. Though I'm partial to simply covering any instance of water drops (except the DKJr. one since it's unclear if it's actually water) on the Water article since it's the same generic substance in a different shape, like how the Boulder article treats both rolling and stationary varieties of big rocks. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 09:08, March 11, 2024 (EDT)
- I wouldn't be opposed to genericizing it either way, although it might not be a bad idea to check the Coleco Adam box/manual just to make sure it doesn't describe them as made of water (can't find scans). LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:18, March 11, 2024 (EDT)
- Since the Coleco Adam archive is down (permanently?), here is the link to Junior's manual. The image on page 7 calls it "drop" but the text describes it as a water drop.--Platform (talk) 05:11, March 13, 2024 (EDT)
- I found scans here at AdamArchive.Org (not sure if that's the same site you were referring to). So, yes, the drops are described as both "water drops" and "water droplets" (pg.4), so that settles it. I'll go with either, although I'd prefer expanding this article since the existing water article is more about (usually swimmable) waterbodies rather than drops that serve a different gameplay purpose.
