Koopa vs. Koopa Troopa

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.

Dark Nokonoko qualifies for a derived name. The prefix is actually rather trivial, as they appear in the level Beware of the Rifts (Fureru na kiken! Semari kuru kuroi kage) and alongside Rift Mario (Kage Mario), so it seems clear that Super Mario Bros. Wonder is consistently translating "kage" as "rift". The unclear part is actually the subject, Nokonoko. Koopa Troopas have many, Many variants, but their naming is not totally consistent. Particularly, they tend to vary between "X Koopa Troopa" or simply "X Koopa". So, should this article be renamed to Rift Koopa Troopa, Rift Koopa, or stay as Dark Nokonoko? (or in fact, move to Kage Nokonoko, the official Japanese name?)--PopitTart (talk) 22:55, December 19, 2024 (EST)
