Move to Toxic Cloud

The sign before the entrance to the Toxic Maze says "Beware of the strange toxic cloud!" That's about as close to an official name as I can find for this, so should the page be moved to Template:Fakelink instead? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 12:51, 4 October 2016 (EDT)

There's no citation for the current name, so I agree. BabyLuigiFire.pngRay Trace(T|C) 13:00, 4 October 2016 (EDT)
