:::Boo Guy's "Reiho" doesn't ''have'' to be a mistake, seeing as how it's a blend of the pretty generic word "yurei" and the Japanese Shy Guy name "Heiho"; basically translatable to "Shy Guy Ghost" or something to the effect of "Shy Ghost". Regardless, the stalemate has made itself apparent. As I said above, it's best if someone can poke Tim Stamper or some other staff member on Twitter/e-mail and get their jurisdiction that, yes, this thing was an honest-to-God error in the English manual or, no, it was some dumb inside joke that made it to print.<br>I would also like to note something that I realise may not have much weight, but can serve as reference: I checked, and all of the supported language settings in the manual of the PAL VC release use the same level order as the English one, the caveat being that the level names remain untranslated from English regardless of the setting. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:42, March 4, 2023 (EST) | :::Boo Guy's "Reiho" doesn't ''have'' to be a mistake, seeing as how it's a blend of the pretty generic word "yurei" and the Japanese Shy Guy name "Heiho"; basically translatable to "Shy Guy Ghost" or something to the effect of "Shy Ghost".

::::While I'm willing to accept (though I don't agree with it) the idea that we should stay true to the source material, I don't buy the "it could have been intentional" argument. Sure, it's technically ''possible'', but it's not ''plausible''. [[Jr. Troopa]] mistakenly calling himself "Jr. Koopa" could have been intentional too, but nobody is going to believe that. Even on the off chance that someone on the dev team "confirmed" that it was intentional, it'd be about as credible as an adulterer saying {{wp|It Wasn't Me|"it wasn't me"}} after being caught. I'd just assume they were trolling. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 18:14, March 4, 2023 (EST) | ::::While I'm willing to accept (though I don't agree with it) the idea that we should stay true to the source material, I don't buy the "it could have been intentional" argument.

@Hewer: Your reason for opposing is because you'd rather not deny official naming. It should be noted that official names tend to change such as half the Yoshi's Island stuff get different names (e.g. Propellor Pirahna instead of Hootie the Blue Fish).

:So? That doesn't have relevance to this situation until the names of these levels are changed in an official source, which is yet to happen. Hootie the Blue Fish wasn't moved because we guessed that probably wasn't what it was supposed to be called, it was moved because a newer source (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate) referred to it by a different (but still official) name. That's not a comparable situation at all. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 11:33, March 4, 2023 (EST) | :So?
