#{{User|Waluigi Time}} Per Niiue. (Regarding Tails777's points, to be honest, I wouldn't really be opposed to more color splits if they have functional differences. You'd just need to be careful to avoid redundant articles.) | #{{User|Waluigi Time}} Per Niiue.

#{{User|Archivist Toadette}} The proposal's reasoning is fine, but I feel Niiue's reasoning is slightly better. | #{{User|Archivist Toadette}} The proposal's reasoning is fine, but I feel Niiue's reasoning is slightly better. | ||
#{{User|SmokedChili}} First of all, the Shy Guy comparison is apples and oranges. Shy Guys had color swaps in their first appearance; Spike Tops didn't, and neither did Magikoopas. There's no default color for basic Shy Guys in Color Splash while the other Guys are named "(subtype) Guy" when they are the only color, and CS leans towards core Mario series whose enemies' color swaps are merged on this wiki; TTYD treats all enemies unique per the tattle log, even the otherwise identical(ly named) green-shoed Iron Cleft for the sake of the "younger green brother" gag, and is more in its own bubble where enemies' color swaps are split from the base like, again, the Magikoopas. Second, going by the TTYD bestiary Red Spike Top is a combo of various peculiarities. It is a color swap in name like the Red, White and Green Magikoopas. It has the base enemy's colors while the base enemy has new colors, paralleling Pale Piranha/Killer Packun and Cleft/Moon Cleft. And like KP Koopas, it's got its own parameter changes (less coins and no items dropped) but this involves digging data without which we wouldn't have ever been able to tell the difference, not that it would've mattered when playing. Finally, the "no distinction beyond shell color" is applied by Goombella to KP Koopas and KP Paratroopas as well, so they're not treated anymore specially from normal Koopas in-game. | |||
