Talk:Count Down

Merge potential?

Is there viability in merging Count Down and Ring-a-Ding as "Watch (boss)"? Like Smilax and the cake, they're both two parts of the same object, with Count Down being labeled in the Shogakukan guide as the "watch's hand" and Ding-A-Ling its bell/alarm. The term "watch" comes from the game itself, if Count Down is beaten before Ring-a-Ding and it goes haywire with "The watch is broken!" (時計が　こわれた！！). LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:41, April 1, 2024 (EDT)

I guess, if the Shogakukan guide says Count Down's the hands, and nothing contradicts that, then sure. Though the fact that got translated as "watch" makes that title less, uh, compelling than if it was, say, "clock", it is what it is. Blinker (talk) 16:17, April 1, 2024 (EDT)

See above. These are two parts of the same "watch" boss/object, and so, like cake and Smilax, they ought to occupy the same space.

Wouldn't Count Down be the name of the boss as a whole, instead of just the clock's hands? After all, we're not naming Exor something like "Sword (boss)" because only some glowing eyes in the skull-shaped pommel is being referred to as "Exor" in the boss battle. rend (talk) (edits) 20:54, July 4, 2024 (EDT)

"Watch" corresponds to the term used in the Shogakukan guide, which identifies Count Down and Ring-a-Ding as components of it. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:04, July 4, 2024 (EDT)
