Talk:Headbonk

Would the Rocket Headbutt in the 3DS Mario & Luigi games be basically a renamed version of this? I mean, it involves the Goomba jumping into the air, flipping and then hitting the opponent headfirst. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 10:53, June 27, 2024 (EDT)

Oho Jees in Bowser Jr.'s Journey also possess this ability, but their body structure is similar to that of a Goomba's. They are similar moves though. Sparks (talk) 11:01, June 27, 2024 (EDT)

Maybe we could point out how this is similar to the Rocket Headbutt? I mean, we have an entire section on Tattle's page saying what's similar to it in later games. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 17:02, June 27, 2024 (EDT)

It's certainly not the latest name since "Headbonk" is used in-game for Origami King. Nightwicked Bowser 17:43, June 27, 2024 (EDT)

I actually first said how the move could be a renamed version 'cause it's basically the same thing and then I said it's similar to the Rocket Headbutt. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 08:55, June 28, 2024 (EDT)

Two arguments against. The first is that the Paper Mario series' Headbonk is fairly consistently depicted as a very basic attack, while Rocket Headbutt is, well, a Special Skill. The second is that the name "Rocket Headbutt" implies it is a specific type of Headbonk ("Headbonk" and "Headbutt" being inconsistent translations of Zutsuki).
