Talk:Vehicle counterpart

Necessary?

Is this article really necessary? All it does is point out that some vehicles fit into particular stat distribution archetypes and that some vehicles share it, and it's not really an official term either. Every racing game has its own archetypes and "counterparts" as well, such as Double Dash's "this kart is lighter and has better acceleration" "this kart is heavier and has higher top speed" or "this kart is the higher top speed variant of this weight class" pairs between characters and Mario Kart 8's stat groupings depending on part.

I don't think so, it looks like just a way to say "vehicles have archetypes and sometimes they match between karts and bikes". It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 17:02, August 28, 2022 (EDT)

Anyone else wants to weigh on this before we proceed to proposal? It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 00:55, September 5, 2022 (EDT)

I'm a bit late, but I can agree to deleting this page. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 13:46, July 22, 2023 (EDT)

Don't worry, your comment is appreciated. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 04:02, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

I doubt many people are going to weigh in if we don't start a proposal; it's best we do so sooner than later. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 14:52, March 24, 2024 (EDT)

I didn't even know we had this article. If I'm to be honest, something like this does interest me and I wouldn't mind keeping it around, but the question is how much of it really boils down to unofficially pairing things together due to similarities? Like is this article just us drawing similarities and slapping them together for an article? I dunno; I'm torn between deleting it cause it's not exactly necessary and keeping it cause it's still interesting and does do well to compare similarities. Tails777 Talk to me!

If you like this page so much, nothing's stopping you from viewing it on the Wayback Machine if we end up deleting it. Our articles on Mario Kart Wii's vehicles already mention which of them have similar statistics to each other, so I see no other reason to keep this page.

Yeah, that's a solid point. I was leaning more on deleting too and your point on the individual kart pages already mentioning most of what this article already covers pretty much nails the coffin shut. Tails777 Talk to me!
