The in-game guide of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions calls this move "Dunk Hammer", so I think we should move this article to that name, especially with Mole Mario being merged here. Just one other thing I should mention, when I go on the "What links here" tab, it just comes up with a ton of other pages which don't link to this article outside of the template. Is there some kind of filter to stop this?Mario jumping Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8

I support moving. (And no, none that I'm aware of.) --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 15:28, January 10, 2021 (EST)
I also strongly support this and say that we move this page ASAP, especially since "Luigi Dunk" is too specific of a name to use right now. Toadette icon CTTT.pngFont of Archivist Toadette's signature(T|C) 18:53, January 10, 2021 (EST)

Why Dunk?

I've always been confused why the move is called Dunk in the remake of Superstar Saga. Mole makes a lot more sense to me. A dunk is defined as "to dip (bread or other food) into a drink or soup before eating it", and the brother is being shoved under solid ground. Even the basketball definition is weird, because the ball is being put in a hole far above ground. Plus, Mole and Mouse/Mini have good alliteration, and moves are always cooler when alliterated! I know the brother is being dunked underground, but dunking once again means liquid. Kitapio T: Keepin' it Cool since 2000 (not even close) (talk) 16:14, August 24, 2023 (EDT)
