Editing Talk:Bonus Stage

==Names==
We have so many names here, but which one should we be using? Not the current one, since the only sources are guides and most of the other names have in-game or manuals for sources. I've also noticed some inconsistency in how bonus levels/areas/whatever are called on ''DKC'' level pages, and I want to rectify that. Here's the rundown of all the names and their cited sources:
*'''Bonus room''' - Mentioned by Cranky in the first ''DKC'' and in the North American manual for ''Tropical Freeze''. However, it's lowercase in both instances.
*'''Bonus stage''' - Appears in the manuals for ''Returns 3D'' and the European manual for ''Tropical Freeze'', but it's lowercase. Also appears as a voice clip in ''DK64''.
*'''Bonus Level''' - Appears in the manuals for the original SNES trilogy as well as ''Land III''.
*'''Bonus Area''' - Appears in ''Nintendo Power'' Players Guides.
*'''Bonus Game''' - Appears in ''Nintendo Power''.

In my opinion, it should be "Bonus Level" for the SNES trilogy and ''Land'' games, "bonus stage" for ''64'' and ''Returns'', and "bonus room" for ''Tropical Freeze'' and the article itself. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 13:42, June 16, 2019 (EDT)
:Thanks for posting. I'll resort to your suggests from now on. I've already been using bonus stage regarding dk64 [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 15:57, June 16, 2019 (EDT)

==Split DKC1-3 games?==

Since the ''DK64'' Bonus Games are split, should the ones from earlier games be as well? I could go either way on this, but we could list which levels they're found in and the variations of applicable. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 22:20, June 4, 2024 (EDT)
:I think they should stay merged, since these are all types of Bonus Levels, whilst DK64 has Bonus Stages more clearly defined as minigames. Unlike DK64, which has difficulty variations, all Collect the Coins!, Destroy Them All!, etc Bonus Level stages differ drastically from one another. I will say that this page is seriously cluttered and needs reorganization. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 22:23, June 4, 2024 (EDT)
