Talk:Bowser's Road (Super Mario 64)

Unexplained page move

@Yoshi18 What's the reason behind moving this page from "Bowser's Road (Super Mario 64)" to Bowser's Road (Super Mario 64 theme)"?

You did not appear to provide any sort of explanation for the change, and, as noted by the related Move templates, "Literally no other subject in Super Mario 64 shares this name, meaning the "theme" identifier is unnecessary." Wandering Poplin (talk) 22:58, June 27, 2026 (UTC)

Bowser's Road (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga theme) exists and per all other articles with shared theme names (like Mario Kart Wii's arrangement of Rainbow Road being called "Rainbow Road (Mario Kart Wii theme)), I moved this one to match those. Even if, only the Rainbow Road theme, there's no article that uses this name, a "theme" identifier still makes more sense to me just to avoid any confusion. I haven't really (yet) seen any other theme that has the same name in two different games for two different themes. This one of the few (if not, the only one).

That's...not how we handle shared names. The reason the Rainbow Road themes use a "theme" identifier is because there are two subjects with the name "Rainbow Road" in each Mario Kart game, being the actual race course and its musical theme. This is not the case for "Bowser's Road", as the courses it plays in do not share this name. The Dab Master 02:27, June 28, 2026 (UTC)

Yeah that was on me. Sorry about that. It's just; each time I see the name "Bowser's Road", I'm thinking of the final level of Super Mario 64 for some reason (I keep thinking that level is named "Bowser's Road"). Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 22:40, June 30, 2026 (UTC)
