This might be a dumb question, but, where exactly did the name "Rebounding Hammer" come from? --

- If I recall correctly it's the literal translation of what it's called in the French version of Rayman Designer (marteau rebondissant). Could it be any different in the English version? —

- It's titled Bouncing Rock and Jumping Rock in the English version. I personally feel that "rock" sounds better than "hammer" in this context.--Carrot-master (talk) 11:10, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
- A lot of R1's stuff on the English wiki are literal translations of the names used in the French version of Rayman Designer. Judging by the template created by Carrot, there are other things besides "Rebounding hammer" which could be renamed ("Little Livingstone" instead of "Small livingstone", "Flower tentacle" instead of "Tentacle-flower", "Antitoon speeder" instead of "Charging Antitoons"...)--Boomboleros7 12:31, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, when working on the template I've noticed that a lot of the names could probably be changed. Once I'm done with the template I'm going to edit all of the articles linked in the template and add information on how they function in Designer. Maybe I should also change some page names while doing so? One issue is that some of the names in Designer seem rather odd. For example, it calls the swinging plums "fruit" while naming the non-swinging plums "plums". It's also got a few mistakes, such as calling some of the events "activatable", saying "First ground" instead of foreground and sometimes even changing event names between worlds (such as Steady prickly ball sometimes being Stationary prickly ball etc.).--Carrot-master (talk) 12:42, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah, Designer is a good "names source", but some of them are really odds. For example, in the French version, the mountain/cave picks are called stakes, while it's clearly stalactites, and the stunning mallets are simple sticks, instead of mallet drumsticks.--Boomboleros7 13:10, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
