#{{User|Kingfawful4321}} It is bigger, has another power, and more health. [[Bomb Brother]] is just a bigger greenie with more HP and another power. same goes for Brain.

@A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros.: The Brain isn't a recolor of the poltergeist though. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]])

:@Kingfawful4321 just because it has an image, doesn't really mean a separate article is needed.  You need to state your reason somewhere in the actual proposal itself. {{User:ParaLemmy1234/sig}}
This sholdn't actually be happening as i mentioned in my vote, the Brain falls under the same situation as the Scarescraper's ghost merge vote. Technnically the Brain fell under that vote and thus we are undoing it for some reason? - [[File:Cubeguy2ver.png|30px]][[User:Cubeguy|Cubeguy]][[User talk:Cubeguy|(talk)]]
:Kingfawful4321: Bomb Brother has different colors of himself as well, unlike normal Greenies and The Brain. I think that's another reason Bomb Brother and Greenie are split.

::Also, Bomb Brothers carry large bombs and release bombs upon getting sucked. They're always fought in pairs. They warrant as much as an article as [[Strong Greenie]]s do {{User:BabyLuigiOnFire/sig}} 19:15, 6 May 2013 (EDT)
Again iv stated that, this has already been resolved in the earlier proposal to merge the scarecraper bossess together and no longer needs to be discussed, so why has this not stopped yet? - [[File:Cubeguy2ver.png|30px]][[User:Cubeguy|Cubeguy]][[User talk:Cubeguy|(talk)]]
:@ParaLemmy1234 i didn't mean "WE SHOULD MAKE A ARTICLE JUST BECAUSE IT HAS AN IMAGE!!" i meant: "Brain already has a good artwork, so we don't have to have one of those imagy requesty thing-a-ma-jig".{{User:Kingfawful4321/sig}}

It's likely no one has voted for this because you did not style it properly. Someone will fix this. --{{User:A Paragoomba and the Koopa Bros./sig}} 10:40, 5 May 2013 (EDT) :/

==Split [[The Brain]] from [[Poltergeist]]==
{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|passed|8-0|passed}}
Yeah, we've been here before, but now, I'm in favor of reversing the previous proposal's direction. Let me address the arguments (including my own in the past) on why the reasoning isn't exactly in favor now.
#'''If we split this article, we have to split all Scarescraper ghost variations!''': Not exactly true. All variations are recolors of each other. In actuality, the analogy fits better with why Bomb Brother and Greenie gets split, or Creeper Launchers and Gobbers get split. The Brain is a bigger variant of the Poltergeists, and he is the ''sole'', final boss of any Scarescraper that isn't endless, unlike the other Scarescraper variations which are randomized (download play players can't even see the different textures of those ghosts, but they can still see The Brain).
#'''The Brain is exactly the same as Poltergeist except with a different attack!''': [[Queen Hisstocrat]] and [[Hisstocrat]] are split despite that they have only one difference because they were distinct entities. [[Gobblegut]] and [[Fiery Gobblegut]] are split, as well as [[Dino Piranha]] and [[Fiery Dino Piranha]], both examples who have only a few key differences. [[Behemoth]] and [[Behemoth King]] are split too despite having literally no differences aside from health. The forcefield attack, the HP difference, and the fact that he is always the definitive final boss of Scarescraper is enough good reasons he should be split.
Only around 2 reasons, but I've debunked them. Any other comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

The Behemoths also have different attack patterns and different appearances, which is a decently substantial difference. What are the differences between a Poltergeist and The Brain? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:The Brain is considerably bigger than a normal Poltergeist, and he has a forcefield attack that knocks Luigis sucking him in away. He has more health than a normal Poltergeist, and his health is also dependent on the difficulty of said Scarescraper. Also, he is always the final boss of Scarescraper, which the mode is nothing essentially nothing but a randomized array of enemies and rooms. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 16:16, 17 December 2015 (EST)
