Talk:Heavy Para-Beetle

Is there some reason this is written as "Heavy Parabeetle" without a hyphen, while the normal "Para-Beetle" is? Culex 17:14, 12 April 2010 (EDT)

A lot of pages match the unhyphenated version. My guess is some games use the hyphen and others don't, so whomever created the article was more familiar with games that's don't use it, or NSMB Wii might not use it. •Turkishcoffee «Talk» 17:19, 12 April 2010 (EDT)

Hmm... I browsed some pages, like Koopa Paratroopa and Paragoomba, none of them use a hyphen, so I think that Para-Beetle may be the incorrect one, that is, if it's incorrect. --™ The 'Shroom 17:26, 12 April 2010 (EDT)

Or the original creator of this article got the name wrong. Anyone have an official source for this enemy's name? Culex 18:56, 12 April 2010 (EDT)

I have the offical Prima guide (which has been wrong a lot of times, not just with Mario games), and on the page for 7-6 it has a tip: "The Heavy Para-Beetles will drop when you stand on them, while the small ones will carry you upward." This guide always hyphenates Para-Bettle, but leaves "Paratroopa" unhyphenated (as "Koopa Paratroopa"). However it lists Piranha Plants as Venus Fly Traps (they're the kind in pipes, in world 3-5, page 68 item number three in the bottom left corner). --•Turkishcoffee «Talk» 03:07, 13 April 2010 (EDT)

Okay, apparently those do shoot fire. My mistake. --•Turkishcoffee «Talk» 03:18, 13 April 2010 (EDT)

Sounds like the title should be corrected. Moving. Culex 09:34, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
