Talk:Metal fish

wtf

OK what's going on? The metal fish you refer to in this article is completely different from the metal fish referred to in the R3 scoring article, which are obviously piranhas. —Spiraldoor 19:31, 23 February 2011 (UTC) There are two types of metal fish: See Celoche and The Looming Sea for slightly more info. --iHeckler9 19:36, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

The 'metal fish' referred to on the Céloche page isn't worthy of an article all to itself. It's just a part of Céloche. As for those things in the Looming Sea, I'm certain that they're Hoodlum submersibles, as the area's official description explicitly confirms. —Spiraldoor 20:03, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

It's not official. Someone found it off a crappy website that I directed them to for another article. The Looming Sea isn't even a level. However, you're right about them being Hoodlum vehicles. They simply look like fish, act like fish and swim like fish. --iHeckler9 20:10, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

The only metal fish that I know appears in the Nintendo DS version of Rayman Raving Rabbids, as a boss that needs to be defeated two or three times in two/three different levels. It's clearly a mistake because I don't know any other metal fish in other Rayman games. --Haruka 20:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

No, the information regarding the Looming Sea is official. It appears alongside numerous other official level descriptions here on Rayman-Fanpage. The tone and content of the description perfectly matches the tone and quality of the official press releases such as this one; somehow I doubt Matthias Franke fabricated a level description. The content of the Rayman-Fanpage link I posted above suggests that the headings are taken from the levels in the final game while the actual descriptions use earlier versions of the levels' names – note that the description under 'The Land of the Livid Dead' used the early name 'Moor [of Mad Spirits]'. We can assume that 'The Looming Sea' (which the description under 'The Summit Beyond the Clouds' suggests was an early level name) is indeed official. I don't know of the 'crappy website' to which you're referring. —Spiraldoor 20:52, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Really? I posted it a while back.

So you're proposing we delete the page and have all the metal fish pages just link to fish? --iHeckler9 08:48, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

The fact that you 'posted it a while back' means nothing – why should I remember it? You could, you know, post a link or something rather that expressing disbelief that I cannot recall from memory a page you supposedly linked to some weeks or months ago. As for the 'metal fish', the problem is that there is no consistency with how the term is used. We need an article for the Hoodlum watercraft you refer to as 'metal fish', an article for the piranhas the R3 score guide refers to as 'metal fish' (which we already have), and we need to describe Céloche's mechanical fish apparatus on Céloche's article.

I've already done he last one briefly. The Rayman 3 scoring guide? Isn't that the page with the make-believe 'Hoodlfyers'? And as for your first idea, I think it is a good one. But what do we call it? --iHeckler9 13:58, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

'Hoodlum watercraft' is the most neutral and quasi-official name currently possible, so that's what we should call it. Some close-up screenshots would be great, if anyone with the capacity to take them is reading. —Spiraldoor 14:42, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I didn't remember about those in the Summit Beyond the Clouds! My memory surely is failing. --Haruka 15:32, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

They're the enemies Rayman has to fight off by punching the cannons onboard the ship. —Spiraldoor 15:38, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes I know, I was totally forgetting about these and I was only reminding the RRR Metal Fish boss. --Haruka 18:12, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

On close-up screenshots, everybody please keep in mind that cropped screenshots are best avoided. You can, however, use the in-game zoom function and upload the unaltered picture here. Thank you :) — 16:12, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I think the RRR 'metal fish' was a submarine. Nevertheless that should be added to the article. --iHeckler9 18:26, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
