Is this officially named? If so, it should be capitalized as "Dark Spin", right? Time Questions 13:24, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Somebody grab a Prima guide to verify. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

It probably won't state it...--FREAK ~Game Freak~ OUT!

It's worth a try. As of now though, let's just label it as made up. Actually, since it's an attack by Bowser, shouldn't it be merged into Bowser's article? Hello, I'm Time Turner.

I dunno, but its similar to his shockwave attack from SM64 and SM64DS so if it should be merged, it should be merged with that atack because it's basically the same attack with a twist on it.--FREAK ~Game Freak~ OUT!

I never got to Bowser since I got bored of it, so I don't know that attack. Feel free to create a merge proposal if you want. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

I have a Prima guide, and it just stated Bowser's attacks, the author didn't "name" them. And I don't even think this article is relevant anyway (I agree with Knife's comment below this one). Mario JC

Unofficially named attacks don't get articles because theoretically, someone could create an article on anything.--Knife (talk) 13:43, 25 December 2009 (EST)

So literally, should we delete the article? Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Is it a bad idea to merge this with the Spin? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

In my oppinion, yes. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

I'm Pesonally a fan of the name "Shadow Spin". Sounds Awesome Right? User:Mecha-Boss Unit

We're discussing whether or not to merge it, no to change its name. And Shadow Spin, to me, is just the same thing as Dark Spin. Dark and Shadow are synonyms. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

No, Dark Spin is better because the attack is only used by Bowser in his Dark Matter Plant. Therefore it makes more sense to assume that he uses Dark Matter to power his new attack, hence "Dark Spin". The plant shuts down after Mario frees the Grand Star, so Bowser cannot make any more Dark Matter to power the attack, which is presumably why he uses a completely different attack (the boulder one).

I think it should be merged with Bowser. GG445 "...?"

Actually, we are discussing whether to merge this or not as Reversinator stated. What we decide for the name won't matter if it is merged (which seems to be the direction it is taking). I'm surprised it hasn't been decided yet, especially since this article breaks the pattern of officially named moves. As I said above, articles about unofficially named moves should not be created because theoretically, an article about anything can be created (such as spitting out fireballs).--Knife (talk) 15:05, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

I think that it should be merged; Knife's above comment makes it clear, it is an officially unnamed attack used by a boss, so it should go on the boss' page, in this case, Bowser. I'll make the proposal, or someone else can, it doesn't really matter to me. Geekiness is an end, not a means - Bop1996 18:24, 21 February 2011 (EST)

This should be combined with bowser, Or the Dark matter plant.Jacob9909 00:40, 24 February 2011 (EST)

we should keep it. It's a move so it should be separate.--File:Yoshi4.jpegYoshidude99 13:14, 24 February 2011 (EST) I think

As I said above, Nintendo did not name the attack, so this is just a name someone thought up, it already gets valid mention in the Bowser page, and there is not a good enough reason to keep the page. Geekiness is an end, not a means - Bop1996 13:55, 24 February 2011 (EST)

Merge Dark Spin with Bowser

This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Current time: Thursday, November 28, 2024, 00:23 GMT

This attack needs to be merged with Bowser, as it is an unofficially named attack, and we only name attacks when they are officially named. If this proposal passes, I think we should leave the page as a redirect.

What if, spontaneously, this attack gets an official name? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:19, 24 February 2011 (EST)

Then I look really bad and instead change the article's name to the official name. Geekiness is an end, not a means - Bop1996 21:35, 24 February 2011 (EST)

Don't worry, the administrators can restore pages that have been deleted. Ray Trace^(T|C)

That's good, although I don't see Nintendo caring about a one-use attack from a game released four years ago getting an official name. I'm actually surprised this proposal has met with so little opposition so far, I was uncertain enough to ask a sysop if it should be merged.
