Talk:Lava Bubble (blue)

...Official name? ;| RAP...

I been wondering the same thing...--Swooper888 07:42, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Japan describes these things under バブル Bubble, so I guess they really are Podoboos after all. Vent 14:51, 28 May 2012 (EDT)

Different Name

Lava Bouncers.... I'm not too sure. They don't look like lava to me, more like melted ice. Since they resemble Podoboos, why not call them Ice Podoboos? This makes more sense in my opinion... JackpotJordan 03:09, 29 August 2012 (EDT)

When we choose a name for a conjectural title, it must be as brief and accurate as possible. Lava is in a way accurate, because in Super Mario Galaxy the creatures emerge from lava. But feel free to make a Talk Page Proposal if you feel that it is necessary.

Change Lava Bouncer to Ice Podoboo

Template:SettledTPP PASSED 6-4

Since it has been claimed that this enemy could be a Podoboo, isn't Ice Podoboo a better and more fitting name? This makes consistency for both their appearance and their lava origins.

Change

1. JORDAN DEBONO (talk) Per proposal.
2. MarioSmasher (talk) – per all. It's more fitting and describes better what enemies they are.
3. YoshiKong (talk) Per proposal. Ice Podoboos is a more logical, professional and fitting name.
4. Koopa K (talk) In the article it says it is a Podoboo, easy decision.
5. Technickal (talk) Per all.
6. Blue CosmicToad (talk) Per JORDAN DEBONO, MarioSmasher, Koopa K, and Technickal

Leave

1. Tails777 (talk) It still makes no sense to give a lava creature an ice name.
2. Electrical Bowser jr. (talk) Per Tails777.
3. Raven Effect (talk) Per Tails
4. GreenDisaster (talk) Per Tails.

Comments

@Koopa K. Well that comment in the article is more of an assumption really. But since it's there, more of a reason to change the name. JORDAN DEBONO (talk)

I still would've gone with the proposal if it wasn't there. Koopa K (talk)

I know thank you. I wrote it more for future possible opposers. JORDAN DEBONO (talk)

This is confusing me, the Podoboo isn't even ice related, why would we change the name to Ice Podoboo? Tails777 (talk)

The Podoboo isn't ice related, that's why we're adding Ice in the beginning. We're adding Podoboo because, like the actual Podoboos, they emerge from lava. JORDAN DEBONO (talk)

Then if it isn't ice related, why are we adding ice to it? That makes no sence. Tails777 (talk)

It looks like ice, it makes sense. Koopa K (talk)

Just because it looks like ice, that doesn't mean it is ice. If we had an apple that looked like an orange, would we call it an orange? No, it's an apple never the less. This is the same deal. Tails777 (talk)

Sorry to barge in, but can you suggest an alternative name, Tails? GreenDisaster (talk) 18:38, 10 September 2012 (EDT)

Like a better name for the article? I suggest leaving it as it is. Tails777 (talk)

But if we recognize this enemy as a Podoboo, shouldn't its name reflect this? I'm not agreeing to the "Ice Podoboo" name, but "Lava Podoboo" is a mite redundant. GreenDisaster (talk) 18:54, 10 September 2012 (EDT)

We could call it Bouncing Podoboo. It's not the most creative thing, but it is descriptive. Tails777 (talk)

Rename?

Shouldn't this be renamed now that Podoboos are called Lava Bubbles now? Binarystep (talk) 22:13, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

I'm not sure because the name is conjectural in the first place. Still, we can call them "Ice Bubble" just to be consistent with "Lava Bubble". EDIT: Also, those things aren't even made of ice in the first place. It's blue fire. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 22:47, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Rename Ice Podoboo to Blue Lava Bubble

Template:SettledTPP RENAME 8-0

I am proposing that we rename Ice Podoboo to Blue Lava Bubble because the name "Ice Podoboo" is a huge misnomer. First, these "ice" enemies come from lava and can burn Mario. Second, the name "Podoboo" is outdated; they're called Lava Bubble at this time of writing. Conjectural names are supposed to be accurate and simple; while it may be simple, "Ice Podoboo" is outright inaccurate and misleading

We do have a blue Lava Bubble enemy called Ember, but at least that enemy has a definite name. We can say, "Not to be confused with Ember" and "Not to be confused with Blue Lava Bubble".

Note: While "Bouncing Lava Bubble" might be another fitting name, there are a lot of normal Lava Bubbles that make bouncy movements, so I think the name is a bit of a misnomer.

If you have any other naming suggestions, feel free to put it in the comments. I'll consider it.

Rename to "Blue Lava Bubble"

1. LeftyGreenMario (talk) Calling these fiery entities "ice" is downright misleading. If we want to name something based on its color, "ice" isn't the way to go. That's why I want to rename it.
2. Tails777 (talk) Per the reason I opposed to rename it Ice Podoboo in the first place. It's made of fire, not ice so it shouldn't be named Ice Podoboo.
3. BowserJunior (talk) Ice Podoboos come out of lava and burn you? HEAD ASPLOSION!! Per all.
4. Goomba (talk) Per all, otherwise the title's an oxymoron.
5. King Pikante (talk) Podoboos were renamed to Lava Bubbles a while before, so we should follow the same process for their sub-species. Also, how can they be ICE Podoboos when they burn you?
6. ThePremiumYoshi (talk) - Per all. The current name is indeed misleading.
7. King Boo 787 (talk) Ice? They don't even FREEZE you!
8. Binarystep (talk) Per all.

Comments

Taken directly from the article itself: They seem to closely resemble Li'l Brrrs, but are fiery instead of icy. Blue CosmicToad (talk)

Actually if ice is cold enough it can burn you Yoshi876 (talk)

I wanted to say that "First, these "ice" enemies come from lava and can burn Mario by setting fire to his butt", but it sounds...um... silly. I'm pretty sure you can figure out what "burns" mean in this case. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:25, 27 March 2013 (EDT)

Edit: LOL internet Niiue - Who has lost his tail?

I mentioned at the very top of the page that this enemy IS a Podoboo based on the Japanese name. Vent (talk) 02:51, 2 April 2013 (EDT)

Podoboos = Lava Bubble. We just chose Lava Bubble because it's the more recent name. Also, you're basing the name off Japan Wikipedia. Does that information have a source? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 01:16, 3 April 2013 (EDT)

It's also in the Japanese official SMG guide. Vent (talk) 04:24, 13 April 2013 (EDT)

Can you provide a source for this?

Move to Ice Bubble

Template:SettledTPP KEEP AS BLUE LAVA BUBBLE 1-10

I am proposing we move this article to Ice Bubble, because the official Super Mario Galaxy Prima guide calls it that. I am well aware Prima Guides are our last priority for naming, but there's no other official source that gives this enemy a name, so we should move it to Ice Bubble.

Move to Ice Bubble (Support)

1. Super Elite Army Hammer Bro (talk) Per Proposal.

Keep as Blue Lava Bubble (Oppose)

1. Tails777 (talk) I have the guide as well and they are simply refered to as Lava Bubbles. Calling a lava or fire creature ice is misleading (as previously said). I opposed this idea once an I'll do it again.
2. LeftyGreenMario (talk) Per Tails777. These enemies are made of blue fire, not ice, which means when Mario touches it, his butt goes on fire.
3. Aokage (talk) Per Tails777 and LGM.
4. Gonzales Kart Inc. (talk) If they burn Mario, unless they happen to be dry ice, they are lava, then it should stay lava bubble.
5. A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros. (talk) At times Prima guides can give false names for enemies, and the previous proposal for renaming them was a good reason to rename this because they don't freeze Mario, instead burn him so per all.
6. Iggy Koopa Jr (talk) The "blue" refers to its color, not if it is ice.
7. SuperYoshiBros (talk) No way. They aren't even icy! Per all.
8. ParaLemmy1234 (talk) Per all
9. Madikoopa (talk) Per all.
10. Goombob (talk) There is a big difference between them!

Comments

Hey, I think an official Japanese SMG2 guide I own may name them. And for the record, their official artwork (which I still need to get around to scanning) appears to be an ice texture. Here's a photograph I took. If someone was fluent in Japanese, may we please seek the Romanised title?

Shokora (talk · edits) 03:05, 10 August 2013 (EDT)

'Kachikochi' and 'Meramera' respectively. I can read the descriptions but can't translate everything in them. Those are actually Li'l Brrrs and Li'l Cinders, darn it. GBAToad (talk) 03:59, 10 August 2013 (EDT)

Shit :P

Shokora (talk · edits) 07:26, 10 August 2013 (EDT)

Confusion between Li'l Brr

Is it possible people are mistaking this enemy for the Lil Brrs? They do look alike. Should we put Not to be confused with... on this page? Tails777 Talk to me!

Embers

We should change the name of the article to Ember! That makes more sense than Ice Bubble! Bigmariofan (talk)

Maybe we'll find out the name once Super Mario 3D World's Prima Guide is released. I mean, they were confirmed via a picture... Barely, but y'know... Smithuser (talk)

Even so, the Prima Guide isn't the best source for getting names from enemies. Besides, Ember isn't the best way to rename them because while Embers are just a blue variant of Lava Bubble, this is more like a subspecies of Lava Bubble. We have no idea if they're the same, so we assume that they're different. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 16:54, 9 November 2013 (EST)
