It says the name "Gooble" came from a scorecard in ''Toadstool Tour''. Is there any indication it was referring to these, and not, say, [[Glorpedo]] or [[Goop Generator]]? [[Eely-Mouth|There were some]] [[Plungelo|pretty baffling things]] [[Phantamanta|to make the]] [[Mecha-Bowser|scorecard]], (which seemed to be primarily characters and bosses, not generic enemies) so I wouldn't throw all possibility aside.

:Well, "Glorpedo" already appears on the scorecard (according to the page's trivia), and it seems unlikely that there would be two separate names for the same subject. It's technically possible that "Glorpedo" actually refers to what we're currently calling Gooble and vice-versa, but I'd associate "Glorpedo" with the objects being launched as projectiles (like a torp'''edo'''). {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:40, 5 October 2017 (EDT)

::"Glorpedo" is a ''goo ball/bubble'' though, while "Gooble" shoots itself at Mario at an intense speed. "Glorpedo" in effect acts more like a bouncy ball. Granted, "Gooble" also looks somewhat bubblish, I suppose. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:44, 5 October 2017 (EDT)

:::Bumping this. Given it was a name on a scorecard with nothing attached to it, saying this is definitively Gooble is speculative, at best. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:33, 21 June 2018 (EDT)
