→“It’s time.”-Ashley

Currently abstaining to vote (honestly it could go either way for me), but I thought it would be important to mention that the main reason why Ashley and Red were decided to be split, as shown [[Talk:Ashley#A "split into separate articles" proposal? Oh no, not again!|here]], is due to how the two are handled in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''. In that game, Ashley and Red are separate playable characters with completely different abilities that had their own separate plot points and were unlocked at different parts of the game. The very same goes for [[Young Cricket]] and [[Master Mantis]], and thus was also the deciding factor for [[Talk:Young Cricket#Split (...again)|this proposal]].<br>Dribble and Spitz, however... even in ''Get It Together'', they are intrinsically linked to each other. You encounter and unlock those two at the exact same time in the exact same stage, and most importantly, ''they share a character slot'': Dribble and Spitz play the exact same, except that Dribble always faces right and Spitz always faces left; as such, the game kind of considers them the same character, with Player 1 controlling Dribble and Player 2 controlling Spitz (with no way Player 1 being able to control Spitz or Player 2 being able to control Dribble, unlike nearly every other playable character). The exact same goes for [[Kat & Ana]].<br>And sure, ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'' allows players to play as either Dribble or Spitz, or either Kat or Ana, regardless of what player number they are, but in those games, all characters play identically anyway.<br>Sure, arguments could be made that they deserve to be split - different personalities, separate profiles, etc. But it appears ''Get It Together'' has made a major distinction between character duos like Ashley & Red, and character duos like Dribble & Spitz. {{User:Arend/sig}} 21:40, January 21, 2024 (EST) | Currently abstaining to vote (honestly it could go either way for me), but I thought it would be important to mention that the main reason why Ashley and Red were decided to be split, as shown [[Talk:Ashley#A "split into separate articles" proposal?

:I wouldn't necessarily say that ''Get it Together'' was done due to some internal logic about character pairs, it's almost definitely just a choice related to gameplay/narrative. There's no reason to think Dribble and Spitz '''couldn't''' appear separately in a future title if the developers wanted.
