Talk:Seesaw
Teeter-totter notter?
The smaller, wooden variant of seesaw in Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's New Island seems to be its own thing. It's apparently modeled after a Japanese balance toy, and unlike seesaws, it can actually fall apart, making it more of a hazard. Split? LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:47, July 29, 2023 (EDT)
- Guess I was right to split them into "wobbling log" previously, pah. Guess The Story ones are normal since they don't fall? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:46, July 29, 2023 (EDT)
- Yep, those are indeed called シーソー / seesaws. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:40, July 29, 2023 (EDT)

As apparent in the above discussion and a cursory glance of this article, it is clear that the small wooden seesaw log in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's New Island is considered a separate object from the more recurring seesaw lift that also appears in those games. It is mechanically distinct too, as it slides off of the spire it sits on if Yoshi stands on one end for too long.
While a "seesaw" is a physical and mechanical sense, it is still it's own thing and I like giving objects recognized as distinct in name and function their own articles, especially if they are in the same game as the object they are being lumped with (in this case, the seesaw lift). I would like a split.
I offer three options.
- Support: split off the little log and name the article "teeter-totter"
- Support: split off the log and name the article "teeter-totter (Yoshi's Island series)"
- Oppose: keep them lumped in one article
