Talk:Sleepy Boo

If anything, we move the page with the function that is designed for that use. This way, we don't destroy the page's history. But I don't think a move is needed in this case, both names are conjectural. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 10:58, 27 January 2008 (EST)

Regarding this page and Big Boo

This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

So English Mario Portal refers to these as Big Boos in spite of having a different Japanese name (Debu Teresa, ie "Fat Boo" in this case). While it could just be seen as an alternate name, it bears mentioning that Big Boos have had quite the extensive history of name-changes in Japanese. (I'm also curious if the "Debu Teresa" appeared on the Toadstool Tour scoreboard, and if so if it was listed as "Big Boo" there too). A decision needs made as to whether this should be considered the same as the Big Boo species, and whether the current name should have priority. On that note, there's still the issue of the Sunshine King Boo sharing a name with the Super Mario 64 boss Big Boo (along with other games released shortly afterwards, like I'm pretty sure the early Mario Party games and Mario Pinball Land) and the Super Mario Pia guidebook treating them as interchangeable. Since obviously these couldn't both be merged, this could easily mean that the SM64/MPtrilogy/Sunshine/MPL "Master/Boss" Teresa is a singular member of the recurring "Big Boo" species - namely, as a prototype King Boo that stuck around for a little while before being abandoned, similar to Koopa Kid's role of an abandoned Bowser Jr. prototype.
