| ::The proposal called for shapeshifters to be exempt and also to exclude Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. I'm not familiar with Super Smash Bros. Brawl at all but it does look like the False characters could qualify, along with the papercrafts. I may also need to give some thought to Shadoo's clones. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 06:03, February 6, 2024 (EST) | | ::The proposal called for shapeshifters to be exempt and also to exclude Luigi, Wario and Waluigi.

| :::Okay, thanks, I think that proposal cleared some stuff up for me. I went ahead and added the Papercrafts, as well as False Peach from Brawl. Both her and False Bowser appear in cutscenes and play a role in the story of Subspace Emissary to some extent. The rest of the False Characters (including False Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong) are fought near the end of the game, are only seen in gameplay, and look different from the False Characters that appear in earlier cutscenes. These False Characters are instances of clones that can look like (almost) anybody in the game, so I didn't add them to Mario's, [[:Category:Luigi lookalikes|Luigi's]], or [[:Category:Donkey Kong lookalikes|Donkey Kong's]] lookalike categories.

| :::Although Shadoo's clones can be considered an instance of "clones that can look like anybody", I'm not sure they should be removed from the lookalike categories. There's only four playable characters in the game, and the [[Cosmic Clone]]s as well as [[Cosmic Mario|Cosmic Mario/Luigi]] are both considered to be lookalikes, despite copying both playable characters.
| |
|
| |
| :::[[Bowser Jr.]] resembles [[Baby Bowser]] more than [[Koopa Kid]] does, so I think he should remain in Category:Bowser lookalikes.
| |
|
| |
| :::I'm considering editing the category pages to specify that "lookalikes" have to be intentionally and heavily designed after the characters which they resemble, and should include "doppelgangers" and "copies" of characters. Does that sound right to you?

| :::Also, something interesting to consider are Mario Bros-esque characters like [[Cork and Cask]], the [[Starshade Bros.]], the [[Hammerhead Bros.]], and the [[Big Massif|Massif]] [[Lil' Massif|Bros.]] Although they don't really fit into [[:Category:Mario lookalikes]] or Category:Luigi lookalikes individually (Cork, Sledge, General Starshade, and Big Massif don't look much like Mario on their own, while Cask, Mallet, Sergeant Starshade, and Lil' Massif also don't look much like Luigi), as pairs they are definitely still meant to resemble the Mario Bros. Maybe they have a place in the general [[:Category:Lookalikes|lookalikes category]]? [[User:TyGuy24|TyGuy24]] ([[User talk:TyGuy24|talk]]) 02:02, February 8, 2024 (EST)
