Talk:Skewer

NSMB2 section

What do you mean by "they cannot be gone through"? Haven't they always been like that? This should be changed for clarity. YoshiCookie (talk) 10:15, 10 December 2015 (EST)

I believe it means that you can't walk through them during the brief period of invincibility you get after being hit (which is entirely possible in NSMBW, at least), but since I don't own NSMB2, I can't be sure. Bop1996 _(Talk)

I don't recall these obstacles being called "Spike Pillars" in any game, maybe on the guides, but I don't have any. Anyway, two recent games, New Super Mario Bros. U and Mario Party: Island Tour, name them "Skewers" (Giant Skewer Tower is "Giant Spike Pillar Tower" in PAL regions, but we have preference for NA names).

Move to "Skewer"

1. MegaKoopa (talk) My proposal.
2. Yoshi876 (talk) If it's the most commonly used recent name then as per policy it should be renamed.
3. Baby Luigi (talk) Per all
4. Gonzales Kart Inc. (talk) Per Yoshi876.
5. Mario3D64 (talk) Per all.

Don't move

1. Randombob-omb4761 (talk) 2 games? why would we move something to a name that only is that name in 2 games?

Comments

Just a note, there is a Skewer page so that would need to be renamed Template:Fakelink and this to be renamed to Template:Fakelink. Yoshi876 (talk)

How do you know the level name is a reference to the obstacle rather than the level's appearance itself? If this will create ambiguity, I think we should keep it as the same.

Right, I haven't thought of that, but MPIT still says "Avoid the Skewers...", even with a capital letter. File:KoopaTroopa!.png MegaKoopa Talk 09:34, 27 November 2013 (EST)

Interesting. So I suppose they are Skewers after all (I think Spike Pillar is way more descriptive, but who am I to dictate the names of things?)

@Randombob-omb It is because those are the two newest games that are using this name, and as per the naming policy that I mentioned in my support, the newest most commonly used name is the name we should use. Yoshi876 (talk)

BTW, Skewer already has a page on this wiki. Ray Trace^(T|C) 21:18, 29 November 2013 (EST)

I mentioned that above, best would be Skewer (obstacle). Yoshi876 (talk)
