We've seen a similar name change with the [[Swoop]]s. Originally known as Swoopers, we continue to use "Swoopers" in sections where the game explicitly called them "Swooper", and in all other appearances we use the current name "Swoop". Same here, for any games that explicitly call them "Unagi" we keep it as Unagi, and for other games we can use the current name. (I guess now I'm just waiting for a [[Sushi]] reboot.)

:Main reason I asked was for games like the ''Mario Kart'' ones, where they aren't explicitly called Unagi, but haven't been renamed yet.

::I know this discussion lasts from one year. It is likely that they have been mistaken for a new enemy, seeing their nightmare-ish design. They originally didn't look like a moray, they only looked like a normal eel. Having a different name in all languages except Japanese is being a localizer's mistake. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 02:57, 9 January 2019 (EST) | |||

In the ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' minigame [[Manta Rings]], which seems to be primarily based off of the underwater areas of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', a large orange/brown moray appears towards the end, [https://youtu.be/T5cI1VuW2k0?t=48 coming out from behind a sunken ship]. It's fairly quick, but [https://www.models-resource.com/resources/big_icons/16/15235.png it looks like this]. In the same minigame, Blooper looked [https://www.models-resource.com/resources/big_icons/16/15234.png square], and ''Mario Party 4'' was also home to other weird-looking versions of enemies, such as [https://www.models-resource.com/resources/big_icons/13/12692.png Whomp] here. Anyways, thoughts? Unagi/Maw-Ray or no? Beyond being a round-snouted Moray, it doesn't really look like one, but the context suggests that it is...

:Considering the minigame's retention of underwater species from ''Super Mario 64'', such as [[Sushi]]s and [[Manta Ray]]s that generate bubbles, I would say the eel is indeed a Maw-Ray. At the very least the article could note its existence in the minigame. -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 17:28, 22 October 2018 (EDT) | :Considering the minigame's retention of underwater species from ''Super Mario 64'', such as [[Sushi]]s and [[Manta Ray]]s that generate bubbles, I would say the eel is indeed a Maw-Ray.
