Vine

I guess this is just the same as Vine? / Time Q 10:39, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

I Think so. Xzelion^ETC

Um?

Yeah. Um, where did the second image come from? CrystalYoshi 14:30, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

Piranha Plant?

I'm wondering if the beanstalk in SMB3 - NSMBW is a type of piranha plant? (Not hurting Mario/Luigi/Yvan & Wolley)

The biggest Spike ever!!!

Vine

Should this article be moved to Vine, seeing as it's the most recent in-game name? TheDarkStar 13:53, September 15, 2019 (EDT)

Probably. Same may go for moving "Warp Pipe" to "Pipe", which is also more common and recent. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:11, September 16, 2019 (EDT)

For what it's worth (if anything), I second both. AgentMuffin (talk) 01:35, September 17, 2019 (EDT)

I still believe the article should be moved per the "If a subject's name has changed over time" step of Project:Naming. The object is called Vine in the Super Mario Maker games, suggesting that this is the current official name of the object from the 2D platformers. The only newer game that the article relates to this Vine is Luigi's Mansion 3, and I haven't found an official name for this appearance.
Although I think this is a fairly clear-cut rename, and I've supported it here and raised the issue multiple times on the Discord server since September 2019, nothing has come of it. I recall no dissent, but no action, either, so I've become nervous to seek further consensus. If there was an expectation that someone steps up and moves the article themself, I don't have the permissions for this: the target page has revision history from 2007, before it became a redirect to this article.
I'm sorry if I come off as frustrated—I hold no ill will toward any party involved in this situation—but is there anything else I should do to try to get this discussed further or resolved at last? AgentMuffin (talk) 05:34, March 14, 2021 (EDT)

If a discussion isn't gaining traction after a while you can always start a proposal about it, those typically get more attention than talk page discussions do. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 14:49, March 14, 2021 (EDT)

Should probably be moved to "Vine (climbable)" to allow for a page on swinging vines as well (which are currently in a weird place on the rope page I believe). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:45, March 14, 2021 (EDT)

Well the swinging ones are technically climbable as well, but the beanstalk vine should take priority over it anyway. Agreed on the "Beanstalk"->"Vine" move; I think no one bothered to do it yet because it's a big page with many links, but if more recent games have been using that name, it should be moved. Mario JC 00:16, March 15, 2021 (EDT)

While the changes are being enacted, I'm also going to recommend changing the earliest appearance to Donkey Kong Jr., especially if the swinging vines are going to be restructured here. Both the English and Japanese versions refer to them as vines as well (though sometimes the metallic objects in later levels are called chains), and they need coverage somewhere. They're even climbed a similar way in the original Super Mario Bros., as Mario/Luigi grabs the vine from the side like Donkey Kong Jr. did. They don't always come from blocks, after all. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:32, October 27, 2021 (EDT)

Or, since the rope article seems to cover a very similar type of object under the "Donkey Kong (Game Boy)" section, would it be better to cover the Donkey Kong Jr. vines and chains in that article instead? LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:12, November 12, 2021 (EST)

Now that the article has been renamed, I think it is untenable for the vines in the Donkey Kong series to be excluded.--Platform (talk) 05:48, November 29, 2024 (EST)

Vine V3

If they call them vines in SMM and SMM2, shouldn't we rename this to vine? Besides, the vines in SMO are CLEARLY not beanstalks, because they're grown from what appears to be some sort of nut or seed, not a Bean. The same thing going on with Pipe. In my (Clearly insignificant) opinion, the Super Mario Maker series has told us what Nintendo wants us to call stuff in the Super Mario series. 106.69.172.127 03:57, May 25, 2023 (EDT)

Late reply, but I definitely agree. Worth considering a proposal for this. BubbleRevolution (talk) 13:40, January 2, 2024 (EST)

Finally move Beanstalk to Vine

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit any of the sections in the proposal. If you wish to discuss the article, do so in a new header below the proposal.

move 14-0
It's basically common knowledge at this point that these leafy, climbable stalks are almost always referred to as "vines" in modern Mario games; their names in Super Mario Maker and its sequel have basically cemented that. As the discussions above show, people have been discussing the idea of moving this article for almost five years now, with no dissent that I'm aware of. ...Though, since this is moving an article for a relatively widespread feature of the Mario franchise, it is probably best we vote on it in a proposal.

1. DrippingYellow (talk) Per progrowsal.
2. Blinker (talk) Per proposal. Vinally.
3. MegaBowser64 (talk) Per proposal. It's about time we raise this name into the clouds.
4. FanOfRosalina2007 (talk) Per proposal. I don't have a pun, though... :(
5. Camwoodstock (talk) Per all. This is way overdue.
6. Nintendo101 (talk) Overdue. (Perhaps moving "warp pipe" to "pipe" can be considered next.)
7. Tails777 (talk) This sounds like a vine idea (yes, I know Blinker already used a similar pun). Per proposal.
8. Hewer (talk) This just leafs me confused how it took so long for a proposal about this to sprout.
9. Scrooge200 (talk) "Vine" is the most recent name, I think the Maker games used it too? Per proposal.
10. Archivist Toadette (talk) "Vine" is indeed most recent. I mean, if both main Super Mario Maker games use the name...
11. ThePowerPlayer (talk) I'm surprised this hasn't been done yet.
12. FanOfYoshi (talk) Considering Berry...
13. JanMisali (talk) Per all. It's about time!
14. Arend (talk) Vine by me- wait...

Comments

Can it be "vine (beanstalk)" or "vine (climbable)" to properly exclude the swinging vines (which are currently mostly awkwardly left on the rope article)? Or perhaps we should treat upwards and hanging vines as the same object, since some items on the page are currently a hanging-but-not-swingy type? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:01, March 28, 2024 (EDT)

From what I have observed, I thought folks have already been directing all mentions of swinging vine objects to "Beanstalk". - Nintendo101 (talk) 17:46, March 28, 2024 (EDT)

BTW, would we have to split the Sunflower from Yoshi's Island from this once the article's renamed? It's only been named a beanstalk in the 1995 Player's Guide, but has been called a flower or sunflower in more recent games, doesn't really look like a Vine, nor can be interacted as such (Yoshi has to hop from leaf to leaf as they were separate platforms, instead of climbing on the stalk as if it were a ladder). And what about that giant Beanstalk from New Super Mario Bros. U (you know the one), or the Beanstalk from Yoshi's New Island (the one from Bouncy Beanstalk Walk, that is)? rend (talk) (edits) 12:31, April 6, 2024 (EDT)

Names

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

We should do something with the one from Yoshi's island as the Yoshi's Island DS Nintendo Strategy Guide calls it a Sunflower, which counts as a new name. Also, are these still called beanstalks in the Super Mario RPG remake? If they are, we may have to move this back because of the recent in-game name. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 08:58, June 21, 2024 (EDT)
