Okay, I know this is Zelda stuff, but it appears in a mario game, and is not a minor cameo, they are ITEMS and obstacles. Under Mariowiki guidlines the things says crossovers get full coverage. I believe the Mario Kart 8 dlc is by FAR a cross over, and therefor these pages should be created. And that they're important. But Mario Wiki guidlines first.

Support

1. Toadbrigade5 (talk) Per proposal.
2. Time Turner (talk) Regardless of what they're based on as whether or not they're simple model swaps of other things, they are still something that appears with an individual appearance in the Mario series. By all means, they deserve articles.

Oppose

1. Mario (talk)
   1. The premise of the proposal is seriously flawed, that the DLC pack for Mario Kart 8 is deemed a crossover and therefore should get full coverage according to policy. The problem is, the amount of non-Mario content is comparable to the Mario content in NBA Street V3 (three Mario playable characters and a Mario-themed court), which is agreed to have guest appearances rather than an actual crossover. For Mario Kart 8 to be a crossover, there has to be maybe four more entire cups composed of only Link tracks and maybe 16 Link characters. It's a stretch to call this a crossover, but I'm opposing mainly because of the next two reasons.
   2. Rupees are most likely coin reskins; at best they're just a nice touch and detail added to a Link course and that's it. They can easily go in the track article, since otherwise, the Rupee article itself is redundant. There may be an argument for additional Rupee appearances, but those are mostly covered in List of references in the Mario series, which is probably a far better place to cover Rupees and stuff there.
   3. Deku Babas are skinned Piranha Plant clones, and again, are included for the Link feel. Their information fits as easily within the track article, and a standalone article would be redundant.
2. BabyLuigi64 (talk) Per Mario.
3. Boo4761 (talk) Per Mario.

Comments

I'm a little iffy on this. Should we really create articles on enemies that suddenly are appearing in one course? From what I've seen, Deku Babas are probably like Piranha Plants, and Rupees (definitely) work exactly like a coin. They're acting like Mario objects as they would appear in other courses. BabyLuigi64

Yeah, but isn't Mario wiki rules that Crossovers get full coverage? And yeah Deku Babas are Piranha Plant clones.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Toadbrigade5 (talk).

I'm quite undecised too, but I'm thinking I'll oppose. Since they work exactly like Coins and Piranha Plants, they may just be modified models. And I'm not sure potential model "hacks" get an article. We may just link to ZeldaWiki. Depends what the policy says about this. TSUNAMI

Yes, it's policy that crossovers get full coverage, but this isn't a crossover. It's guest appearances. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 15:32, 7 November 2014 (EST)

How about redirecting “Rupee” to “Coin”? Rupees seem to be a variant of Coins, so it could be listed in the same page as Coins. Likewise, Deku Babas may also be considered as a variant of Piranha Plants. Hippopo (talk) 09:11, 7 November 2014 (EST)

I'd suggest redirecting Rupee and Deku Babas to the main track article because that's their only appearance. Meanwhile, the Coin article and the Piranha Plant article can get a mention or two about the track that contains those entities. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 15:32, 7 November 2014 (EST)
