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.

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.

Should File:Fury Volcano 4-1.png count here? The smoke that resides in Fury Volcano 4-1 behaves identically to the Smoke found in Super Mario 64. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 17:02, 12 November 2016 (EST)

The one in SPP is a different type. The one in SM64 is gas, the one in SM64DS is poison and the one in this van is smoke. I think the one in Super Princess Peach should be it's own separate article Toxic Smoke; or maybe the three substances should all be split. I actually am currently planning the article as my next project. A personal signature image for me! The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) Christmasmario.jpg 17:24, 12 November 2016 (EST)
Playing through the area now, the only difference I can find is that the smoke in SPP is dispersable by using the joy vibe. Health seems to drain at a slower rate, however. The Perry Block before the area does call it "smoke", though as an improper noun. I think it should count as there's no real name for the smoke and the effect on the player is similar.
