Characters or Enemies

Should we try to move generic enemies from the characters section to the enemies or species section? Generic baddies are not really characters. --son.of.suns@gmail.com 14:40, 29 April 2006 (EDT)


Naming

There should be two links for characters with a popular name and proper name

  • Bowser - King Bowser
  • Big Bob-omb - King Bob-omb
  • Daisy - Princess Daisy

I follow your logic, but this opens a can of worms. To wit:

  • Mario
  • Racoon Mario
  • Caped Mario
  • Fire Mario
  • Frog Mario
  • Hammer Bro Mario
  • Space Mario

...etc.

As a side note, I almost missed this post. Please add comments or ideas about the Character page to the Talk:Characters page.


anyone looking for mario would not look up racoon mario. however somone looking for bowser could easily miss king bowser. P.S. racoon mario is a character varition not another word for mario. i think there should be a page with all the character variations.


You have a point. Tell you what, let's replace King Bowser with just Bowser (seeing as that is the name most people will look for).

As for character variations, how about we add those to the character page itself.

IE: Bowser's character page, then a subsections that look something like this:

Aliases

  • King Bowser
  • King Koopa

Character Variations

Sound good?


It Sounds Great

Character Information

I think that each character's description should have a list of all the games they have appeared in at the bottom, sort of like:
Main Appearances
(Games that they have actually been in)
Cameos
(Games that they are shown in, but just for fun, such as Super Smash Bros. Melee's trophies)

Also, does anyone else think that character descriptions from game manuals could be added when possible?
