Is the Bowser Clone really related? These are magick'd enemies, whereas the other was a creation of Belome after eating Bowser.

::Since "Bowser Impostor" looks more like a proper name than "fake Bowser" (or "Bowser's decoy" for that matter), and we don't have any other sources besides ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' or ''NES Remix'' to go off of, I motion moving the title back.

There are at least two subjects that don't really belong in this article: the Tail Bowsers that first appear in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and the "Bowser" from ''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''. While Tail Bowsers seem to be inspired from the original fakes since they are also transformed enemies, the addition of the Super Leaf makes them fairly different. The other subject, the one from The Tale of Bowser's Fields, turned out to be a cardboard cutout held up by the Spirit Who Loves Surprises. The inclusion of these two gives the impression that the article can be about any fake Bowser in general rather than the specific concept of the seven decoys from ''Super Mario Bros.''

:::I'm okay with splitting as long as Tail Bowser is considered a derivative/offshoot of fake Bowser.

::::Like in the case of [[Baby Cheep]] and [[Flutter]], different page doesn’t necessarily mean unrelated, they are indeed special fake Bowsers who were given a Super Leaf, so I agree with considering them as such.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:56, March 5, 2020 (EST) | ::::Like in the case of [[Baby Cheep]] and [[Flutter]], different page doesn’t necessarily mean unrelated, they are indeed special fake Bowsers who were given a Super Leaf, so I agree with considering them as such.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 10:56, March 5, 2020 (EST) | ||
