(First topic)[edit]
Do we really need the relatives part? A Fuzzy Horde is just a large number of the average Fuzzys toghether Mr. Guy the Guy
Talk!
1. This comment was from 2007, though I can't blame you for not knowing.
2. There's enemy typing to consider; the Horde counts as a single enemy in both games, more of an obstacle in the latter (because they instantly waste Mario and co.), and relatives means just that. It's designed to include different forms of the normal enemy, as well as multiples of that enemy (think Goomba Towers being related to Goombas). Lord Grammaticus (talk) 10:41, 5 January 2014 (EST)
Right. Would you still say the Fuzzy Horde is in SM3DW as well?

3D World[edit]
I'm not sure we should be considering the 3D World versions of these bouncing guys to be the same as the PM versions because not only does PRIMA consistently call them something different but they're called Fuzzies' Mass or Fuzzy Mass in the Japanese strategy guide too.

- I'm aware this is an old discussion, but I think the point still stands. They have different functions, different roles, different appearances, different names in certain appearances. There is really no good reason why we should have these enemies merged, let alone why we are currently prioritizing the PMTTYD version of the subject over the 3D World one. At least one of these subjects should be split from the page. (Personally, I would lean on the idea of kicking out the PMTTYD info, and making this page solely about the 3D World enemy.)

- The Fuzzy Horde of PMTTYD is the older Fuzzy Horde and why the article was created initially, but it then was expanded to include the 3D World hazard. Because of this, I feel it would make more sense from a wiki edit history perspective to split the 3D World hazard out instead. It seems wrong to me imagining future editors looking at the history of this article and seeing it progress from a pure PMTTYD subject, to a questionable merge of PMTTYD and 3D World, then it becoming purely 3D World. This would fragment the longer revision history of the PMTTYD Fuzzy Horde, when splitting the 3D World hazard would do less damage. --Spencer PK (talk) 09:48, August 11, 2026 (UTC)
- I'm not sure the 3D World version is even called "Fuzzy Horde" officially. The Prima guide certainly doesn't seem to call it that.

- Sure, this split makes sense. In order to do so, we would need to figure out which NIOL goes where because not all of the are identified between TTYD and 3DW, so it would be good if someone could start that process. Also, what would be done about the "generic" fuzzy horde in Super Nintendo World? I can also point to the one in Mario Tennis Fever's intro as a generic horde that would probably be covered the same way. — Lady Sophie_17
