Talk:Big Chomp and Little Chomp: Difference between revisions

==Merge this article with the ''Mario Party 3'' section of the Chain Chomp article==

In my opinion, having a separate article about the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp are unnecessary, as they are two generic [[Chain Chomp]]s that only appear in a single minigame ([[Game Guy's Sweet Surprise]]) in a single game (''[[Mario Party 3]]''), and they only receive distinct names through a single quote from [[Game Guy]]; therefore, any information about the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp should be moved to the [[Chain Chomp#Mario Party 3|''Mario Party 3'' section]] of the Chain Chomp article, so as to avoid reiterating the [[Game Guy's Sweet Surprise]] article in the [[Big Chomp and Little Chomp]] article (the quotes from the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp would be better suited under the "In-game text" header of the Game Guy's Sweet Surprise article). [[User:Somethingone|Somethingone]] has pointed out that separate articles do exist for characters that only appear in a single minigame, such as [[Spike Koopa]], while [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] has explained how the original Japanese name for the Big Chomp ("Biggu Wanwan") suggests that even if we were to merge the article, information about the Big Chomp should be under the [[Chomp Shark]] article. However, in this case, the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp are not unique characters like Spiked Koopas, nor do they have as many similarities to Chomp Sharks as regular Chain Chomps; they are both simply Chain Chomps attached to chains, while Chomp Sharks are extremely large and chainless. Additionally, although [[Big Chain Chomp]] also refers to especially large Chain Chomps, the Big Chomp isn't especially large (it's barely larger than Game Guy), and the term "the Big Chomp" has already been used to describe the generic Chain Chomp from ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS'', which does not have a separate article from other generic Chain Chomps. Since the Japanese name for the Little Chomp is "Wanwan", or simply "Chain Chomp", I find that this is enough evidence for both the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp to be described in the regular Chain Chomp article.
