#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} The first names are overwhelmingly commonly used over the full names, and it is not even remotely close. We are at a point where the number of full name instances in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series outnumbers the amount in the souce games (counting the collectible Ludwig von Koopa sticker in ''Brawl'' and the easter egg dialog in ''for Wii U'' that was reused in ''Ultimate'' along with many of the other [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|guidance clips]]), as outside of one optional joke line in ''Super Paper Mario'' ("Larry Koopa: Zombie Heartbreaker"), the first and last time that the Koopalings were directly referred to with their full names in an actual ''Mario'' game was in the localized versions of ''Super Mario World'' (as well as being the second and last time in any manual), and it comes from a time when game text was much more limited. The Koopalings have been in several new ''Mario'' games since the last proposal, and not once have their full names been mentioned in new capacity. It quite possibly does not reflect their "current story" with Bowser (Koopa). I understand wanting to keep them around for the historical value of the Koopalings' full names originating from localization, which is why I suggest that they still have a place in character introductions and appropriate spaces, but as article titles they are seriously dated and pushing policy. The full name parameter in the character infoboxes was made for such cases. | #{{User|LinkTheLefty}} The first names are overwhelmingly commonly used over the full names, and it is not even remotely close.

#{{User|Niiue}} Per all. | #{{User|Niiue}} Per all. | ||
#{{User|Ultimate Mr. L}} Per all. Their last names have not been used in... a long time. I'm not sure exactly how long. But in SSBU and M&L:PJ, they are explicitly referred to by only their first names, with their last names nowhere to be found. It makes no sense to use the Koopalings' full names, but not characters like Mario, Peach, Bowser, Count Bleck, Mollusque-Lanceur, etc, etc, etc. | |||
