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)
Er, the Nintendo Power guide for the game also calls it (albeit not by name) toxic gases as well as toxic fumes. Should we go with what the in-game sign says? (Should I make a TPP about this?) Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:05, 4 October 2016 (EDT)
I'd definitely go with Toxic Cloud, since that's actually the name used in-game. For the record, the SM64DS Prima pocket guide uses "purple gas": "The purple gas is poisonous and you lose health while you are in it." Again, though, the in-game name overrules other names. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 13:23, 4 October 2016 (EDT)
Just checked the DS version (which, btw, is a little jarring to play on a 3DS after just playing the N64 original) and sure enough, it says toxic cloud as well. The only thing that gets me is that this isn't exactly a name for the subject. It's as close as we're going to get, though, so I'll go ahead and move it.
