Talk:Torpedo tube

Naming Source

Do someone has a source about their name and the one from Super Mario Galaxy (Ted Blasters)? I check in Super Mario World game credit and I don't see their name (only Torpedo Ted). --^(TALK) 10:35, 28 July 2015 (EDT)

The Prima guide actually refers to them as "torpedo tubes" (granted, it also mistakenly calls them Bullet Bills instead of Torpedo Teds). LinkTheLefty (talk) 01:22, 13 December 2017 (EST)

Apparently, Super Mario-Kun had a skit involving the hands from these. Can anyone who can read Japanese tell me if there's anything resembling a potential official name in there? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:21, 24 April 2018 (EDT)

Top-left speech bubble, Yoshi refers to them as 「手っちゃん」 (Tecchan), which seems to come from 手 (te), meaning "hand", and ちゃん (chan), an affectionate honorific. Mario JC 23:21, 24 April 2018 (EDT)

Suppose we could split that from Torpedo Tube, since they're pretty clearly different things.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:42, 24 April 2018 (EDT)

That seems to be Yoshi's nickname for the hand as Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. has another name among Super Mario World objects (61): 「トーピード発射台」 (Tōpīdo Hasshadai) "Torpedo Launcher" LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:02, 25 April 2018 (EDT)

English name

Hmmm... I think Super Mario Encyclopedia was released a bit earlier, since some Mario Land enemies turn out that their English name is their Japanese name, but it wouldn't be the case for this. What's the English name? -- FanOfYoshi 11:31, 16 October 2018 (EDT) The English name is Launch Pad, Yoshi. And on a related side note, there is a Bowser Minion that is calling out to Super Mario Wiki to upgrade its artwork:https://www.mariowiki.com/File:SpiketopNSMBW.png;)--Hamshamcart (talk) 17:47, 24 October 2018 (EDT)
