To me, it seems odd that this page would still retain an old name that has been different sine 2009. To remedy this, I'm going to throw in two different options for how to go forward: rename the whole page to Super Mushroom (healing item), or split out the Mario & Luigi series information into Super Mushroom (healing item). I'm not entirely sure which option is more viable, but I'm throwing them both out because really, I think something ought to be done. (And the same goes for this scenario.)

Rename to Super Mushroom (healing item)

1. Yoshi the SSM (talk) Per Ultra Shroom Vote.
2. YoshiFlutterJump (talk) Just like I said with Ultra Shroom, this is the best option. The name is the same in all localizations except English and it was probably only shortened because of space constraints. They are both functionally similar in that they are both the second tier of healing items (no, Dried Shroom doesn't count). The only real caveat to going with this option is the identifier, but it allows for consistency with Ultra Shroom (if that gets moved), "Super Shroom" hasn't been used since 2007, and merging it with the main Super Mushroom article wouldn't be the best idea because it has little in common with the main series one and the naming is more a coincidence than anything. In short, splitting would be redundantly redundant and this is the best option.

Why not have an option to merge into the main Super Mushroom article? After all, the Fire Flower item from the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series isn't split from the main Fire Flower article, and the basic Mushroom also doesn't have its own article for RPG appearances.

Mushroom and Super Mushroom pages are quite similar. However. I do think that this should not be merged with Super Mushrooms due to the fact that the Paper Mario versions are Blue. But, I agree that the options should be there in case someone would want this. I would say two options in this case. Them being: "Merge all into Super Mushroom" and "Merge just Mario & Luigi series into Super Mushroom". The reason for no "Merge Mario & Luigi series and rename to Super Mushroom (healing item)" is for two reasons. First because that identifier won't make sense due to the Mario & Luigi series items being healing items. Second because they aren't named as such, but are only called Super Shrooms.
