Talk:Snooza Koopa

The Prima guide isn't an official source. Is there an official name for them anyway? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:26, 8 October 2007 (EDT)

Hmmm, I would have assumed that their name would have something to do with 'Yoshi' in it, due to thier resemblence with the yoshi eggs. But I honestly don't know. - Scruffy 08:26, 2 October 2008 (GMT)

Anyone else think they look like the koopa on Koopa_Troopa_Beach? Also, I have the offical Brady games guide somewhere, if I find it I'll see if it has a name. --Turkishcoffee 05:57, 6 April 2010 (EDT)

Relation to Troopas

Much like I've noted with Koopeleon and Electro-Koopa, the Japanese name on this would lead one to believe that these aren't their own major species of Koopa, but a variant of Troopa. Given this game had some insane variants, while Bob-omb didn't even have the same Japanese name, it wouldn't surprise me if that were the intent.

Looks like this has been addressed a while ago, but clarifying for future reference that Bob-omb technically has the same Japanese name, just a different model name (despite the actual folder being a transliteration of the Japanese name, and BradyGames basing their name on that internal one).

Tamanoko

I expect this to be an unpopular notion, but should Snooza Koopa be retitled Tamanoko? After all, Tamanoko is the most common name that appeared in a least three official English guides, even including the Prima guide which is also the only valid source for Snooza Koopa. Prima Games implicitly has priority over the Versus Books and BradyGames guides, but it still has both names. The same may go for Klamber, which is commonly called Yellow Spider.

I don't agree at all. Just because a Japanese romanization from a filename comes from Guides with higher Priority doesn't mean it should be moved. See the large Electro-Koopa settled thing. It's like prioritizing Petapeta's file name over its Japanese name, or prioritizing Punching Kinoko to what we currently have. -- FanOfYoshi 08:26, December 10, 2019 (EST)
