The SMW mines are called Floating Mines by Mario Mania, the official strategy guide.--Platform 11:27, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

If they were officially called "Floating Mimes", then surely the article ought to be moved to that name? 94.197.121.25 11:48, 14 October 2014 (EDT)

COSMIcPikMIN & Items

p.s.:Also we could not blow them instantly with Co-Star Luma!!!

These could be just another type of "living mine", as a Thwomp is to a cinder block. And yes, Thwomps are techically animate, but these could be too.

Star Bit Mines?

The Mines in the Slimy Spring Galaxy, just above the first underwater segment, give 3 Star Bits when shot, in a manner similar to Slurples and Topminis.

Why move the page to "Mine"?

In the beginning of the article, there's a template for a suggestion of renaming the article to just Mine, but why? Literally the first topic in this Talk page talks about how Floating Mine is its official name.--Tent2 17:24, February 3, 2021 (EST)

Because "floating mine" hasn't been used in years, not all of them float, and simply "mine" is more common. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:01, February 3, 2021 (EST)

According to LinkTheLefty (who added the template) the "floating" part is just a descriptive adjective (parsed "floating Mine" on page 58, and the page 52 ref is all caps). Based on that, "Floating Mine" is not even a true name and it should have been simply "Mine" all along. 14:49, February 5, 2021 (EST)
