Miracle Planet flowers
From Sonic Retro
Shouldn't this article be titled Little Planet Flowers? TorchicBlaziken 03:51, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- No.

- The Little/Miracle Planet article is the one that should be retitled, as using its American name is inconsistent. Every other article about something that has different regional names and isn't a badnik or a game uses the original Japanese name (ie: Eggman's article is titled Eggman rather than Robotnik, Fang's article isn't titled Nack, and we're using the names "Angel Island" and "Mecha Sonic" over "Floating Island" and (Eewwww) "Silver Sonic" respectively). - Erics 17:19, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- ...so...um...where was the term Miracle Planet even used outside of Sonic the Comic? I think that's the most important thing to ask here. Because for the life of me, I can't recall a single instance of it being used in any manual or related material... David The Lurker 18:31, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- According to the article for Little Planet, it’s “The Little Planet (called the Miracle Planet in the Japanese instruction manual)”. --Dsrb 19:27, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, there lies the problem. The earlier translation done by KojiChao contains the phrase "Miracle Planet." But the later translation done by SamIAm (which tries to stick as closely as possible to sentence structure of the Japanese source) doesn't use that phrase at all. So it could be one of those cases where the earlier translation wasn't as accurate as people thought, and some things were made to look a bit fancy based on preconceived notions of that the story was meant to be. The same thing happened with the translations of the other Genesis games back in the day. From what I can tell, the SamIAm translations are really the best place to start when looking at the original text. David The Lurker 22:03, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
