Sorry this is so late, I don't check SmashWiki as often these days! I've discussed Ice Ball on the [[Talk:Marx|talk page]] for Marx. There are more instances of ボウル being translated as "Ball" in the ''Kirby'' series (the Japanese name of ''Kirby's Dream Course'' is "Kirby Ball" [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Frdp0O-aQAEPwCs?format=jpg&name=large according to the official guidebook]; the move タランザボウル "Taranza Ball" / スーパータランザボウル "Super Taranza Ball" in ''Kirby Star Allies''; and the term ずんぐりボウル "Puffball" in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet''). Snow Bowl is the only outlier here, and that itself is a pun on "Snowball". Based on this, it seems more likely that "Ice Bowl" is "Ice Ball" despite the nonstandard spelling. ~ [[User:StrawberryChan|<span style="color: #e68;">'''StrawberryChan'''</span>]] ([[User talk:StrawberryChan|talk]]) 21:13, July 25, 2024 (EDT) | Sorry this is so late, I don't check SmashWiki as often these days!

:...Ah, I've see you've already replied to it, my bad. ^_^;; I doubt the name "Kirby Ball" is a misromanization because it is used consistently throughout the guidebook, where it would seem likely to appear as "Bowl" in some places if it wasn't intended. The move Taranza Ball is definitely not meant to be Taranza Bowl because [[wikirby:File:TKCD Taranza battle 2.png|he controls a large ball of energy while using it.]] ずんぐりボウル literally translates to ''stubby ball/bowl'' and is being used to refer to Kirby, so it would make much more sense in this context to be "ball" than "bowl" (hence why it was translated as "Puffball"). I think these are all pretty compelling evidence that it is a quirk of the ''Kirby'' series to use ボウル to mean "ball" interchangeably with ボール. ~ [[User:StrawberryChan|<span style="color: #e68;">'''StrawberryChan'''</span>]] ([[User talk:StrawberryChan|talk]]) 21:25, July 25, 2024 (EDT) | |||
