Talk:Wario Land 4

One Word

On Nintendo.com's master game list, this game is referred to as Warioland 4, instead of Wario Land 4. I know this is about the most nitpicky detail ever, but would you support a move, provided the information about the book listed as "Warioland 4" on this site is moved to a new title, such as "Warioland 4 (book)"?

Support

1. Stumpers! It's really insignificant, but our goal is to be precise and detailed...

• Knife (talk) – I oppose, I mean support.

Oppose

1. Wa _T^C_@^Y – Every other offiical site has called it Wario Land 4, WTF.
2. It's really insignificant, and also a typo. ^Plumber

I don't even see it in that "master game list". Wa _T^C_@^Y 01:35, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

I know the names of these creatures (excluding the bosses), all from the game's manual:

• Beezley (the bee)
• Keyzer (the key ghost/bird)
• Goggley-Blade (that frog/fish mix)
• Hoggus (the drawing pig)
• Spear-Mask (the spear-holding guy)
• Minicula (the bat that turns you into Vampire Wario)

Some artwork can be found here (Chinese). The things that you call "rocks" are just pressure machines, I think. I also would like to know what the other enemies' names are. I wonder from which source people got names like RC Wario Car and Spear-Mask Warrior? That needs to be answered, I put a template on this talk page. --Grandy02 09:04, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

Names of the Enemies

This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

For most enemies in Wario Land 4, there are no official English names. The same can be said about many enemies in previous Wario Land installments (even if not all articles with fan-made names are marked as "conjectural", there are no reliable sources for them). However, nearly all of them seem to have official Japanese names. The Japanese Wikipedia gives the Japanese names for virtually all enemies in the game. Of course, everyone at Wikipedia could make up names. But all of them are also listed in a Japanese Super Mario dictionary, a fansite that lists nearly all enemies in Mario games and spin-offs such as Wario Land. And there have been official Japanese guides for every Wario Land (except for the Virtual Boy game), that not only reveal names, but even feature artwork that never made it into Western publications. The names are likely taken from there, but I don't own any of the guides. My question is, is that enough to confirm those names as official, so that they can be used for the articles? Anyway, here is a list of the names:

• Marumen (まるメン, "circle face") – Bouncer
• Totsumen (トツメン, "clash face") – Spear Head
• Harimen (ハリメン, "needle face") – Spiny-like enemy (pink shell)
• Harimenzetto (ハリメンゼット) – Spiny-like enemy (black shell)
• Imomushi (イモムシ, "caterpillar") – well, the caterpillar
• Shieragutchi (シエラグッチ) – the spiked clam
• Tobawani (トバワニ) – Scuba Gator
• Moguramen (もぐらメン, "mole face") – the drilling mole
• Togerobo (トゲロボ, "spike robo") – the robot with the spiked rolling head
• PET Bottom (ペットボトム) – the walking bottle
• Denden (でんでん) – the "snail pig" created by Hoggus
• Butatabi (ぶたたび) – the gliding pig created by Hoggus
• Deburina (でぶりーな, "fatrina") – the pig ballerina
• Toy Car (トイカー) – RC Wario Car
• Dice (ダイス) – the spear-wielding dice
• Iwao (岩男) – the rock-throwing enemy in Fiery Cavern
• Onomī (斧ミイ, "ax mummy" abbreviated) – Ax Mummy
• Menono (メン斧, "ax face") – Ax Ghost
• Utsuboankō (うつぼあんこう, "moray eel goosefish") – the sea monster hiding in holes
• Togenobi (トゲノビ) – the big octopus in the Mystic Lake
• Yūrei (岩男, "ghost") – Captain Coin
• Bow Balloon (ボウバルーン) – Archer
• Ringosukii (リンゴスキー, ringo means "apple") – Apple Monkey
• Menhammer (メンハンマー, "hammer face") – Hammer Warrior
• Kaentsubo (火炎壷, "flame jar") – Torcher
• Yukiotoko (雪男, "Yeti", lit. "snowman") – the Yeti enemy
• Skeleton Bird (スケルトンバード) – Flying Ghost
• Robo Bird (ロボバード) – Drill Bat
• Mayu Bird (まゆバード, "eyebrow bird") – the bat-like enemy in Arabian Night

This Super Mario dictionary you mentioned... If it also lists info from other Mario games (it's a little hard for me to navigate this site...) then we could check the japanese names of enemies we know the official names of. If they match, then it is highly likely that the WL names are also official (of course that is no confirmation either). - Gabumon^(talk) 15:11, 20 December 2009 (EST)
