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). --

- 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)
Super Mario-Kun
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.

- 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)

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? --

- 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)
- It is "Launch Pad" in the Super Mario World section (page 69) and "Torpedo Ted Launch Pad" in the New Super Mario Bros. U section (page 217). Either way, we are currently deciding what to do about the information presented in Dark Horse's Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia. LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:52, 24 October 2018 (EDT)
- Per proposal, should we move to Torpedo Hasshadai? --

- I've found a usable name for Torpedo Hasshadai in the New Super Mario Bros. U files: torpedo.szs/torpedo.bfres/Models/torpedobase. This also includes Search Torpedo Hasshadai, as the black texture is torpedo.szs/torpedo.bfres/Textures/torpedo_base.0 and the red texture is torpedo.szs/torpedo.bfres/Textures/torpedo_base.1. Should we rename to "Torpedo Base" and "Torpedo Base (red)" (or "Torpedo Base (Targeting Ted)")? LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:14, July 10, 2019 (EDT)
- I'd support that. Niiue - Who has lost his tail? 09:31, July 10, 2019 (EDT)
