Move to "Alter egos of King Koopa"

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit this section or its subsections. If you wish to discuss the article, please do so in a new section below the proposal.

keep the same name 4-7
It sounds a bit more formal that way.

Move

1. Mariotime11 (talk) – Per proposal
2. YoshiKong (talk) – Per proposal, it does indeed sound more suitable.
3. Yoshi876 (talk) – Per proposal.
4. ParaLemmy1234 (talk) – Per proposal.

Keep

1. Pinkie Pie (talk) No, because King Koopa's alter ego is a catchy name.
2. Walkazo (talk) - Seems like an arbitrary change: not worth the trouble of updating all the links and redirects and whatnot, and not worth making us all remember the new name. Besides, it sounds more natural as-is anyway, and more importantly, having the more important pat of the name (i.e. the character in question, "King Koopa") come first seems better for searching purposes.
3. SuperYoshiBros (talk) Per LGM's comment.
4. MrConcreteDonkey (talk) - Per Walkazo.
5. LeftyGreenMario (talk) Per all and my comment.
6. Time Turner (talk) Per all.
7. Ace Shadow (talk) Per all.

Comments

@Pinkie Pie: I don't think that's a valid oppose reason, that's like saying you're opposing because you like the name --driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 11:43, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

I Understand, but "Alter egos of King Koopa" is a log word to understand. "King Koopa's alter egos" is a small word to understand. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 11:51, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

1) That's a phrase, not a word, and 2) How does the inclusion of the extremely simple word "of" make it harder to understand? LB (talk • edits • forum) 23:46, 15 June 2013 (EDT)

I see Mr. Game & Watch, but why can't we use "King Koopa's alter egos" instead of "Alter egos of King Koopa" -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 15:30, 16 June 2013 (EDT)

I have a question: what about other articles pertaining to possessive names? Bowser's Bogus Items, for instance? I don't see why we should move this article to "Alter egos of King Koopa". The new name sounds just wordier, and the best way to express things is to do it in as few words as possible. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 00:15, 17 June 2013 (EDT)

Should Robo-Koopa be split?

There's a big difference between "wearing a silly costume" and "operating a giant mech," after all. It seems a different situation that doesn't quite mesh with the others. EDIT: I just noticed the Robo Suit article, but this still feels a little off to me. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:54, October 5, 2020 (EDT)

I think the Robo Suit article should suffice. ^(T|C) 22:00, October 5, 2020 (EDT)

Since the suit is fully covered on its own article, I don't think we need a separate article for Bowser wearing the suit. It's fine as-is. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 18:10, January 18, 2022 (EST)

The other "King Koopa's" alter-egos.

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

Since it seems that KC Deluxe's version of Bowser "King Koopa" also has a habit of assuming one-shot alter egos, shouldn't we rename this article to something like List of King Koopa's alter egos in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!?

I'm assuming the only reason "KC Koopa's" alter-egos haven't been merged into one page like we did with this version of the character, is simply because of the recency of the manga's coverage on this wiki, meaning that they likely didn't get as much scrutiny as their DIC counterparts might have 13+ years ago. (Which will hopefully change sooner or later...) Wandering Poplin (talk) 01:49, January 23, 2026 (UTC)

Even aside from the issue regarding the "other King Koopa," the name "List of King Koopa's alter egos in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!" would be a bit more descriptive than the present name, which implies a scope so broad that it could potentially cover any version of the character using the name "King Koopa," such as the few disguises he had in the other two cartoons produced by DIC, as well as whatever alternate identities he may assume in the Nintendo Comics System. Wandering Poplin (talk) 17:30, January 23, 2026 (UTC)

This point is somewhat irrelevant to the above discussion, but I think the article could also use a little bit of clean up. The sections regarding the alter-egos themselves are currently somewhat inconsistently written, some describe what Koopa does in the episode where that alter-ego appears, while others only describe his appearance/abilities but do not tend to specify his role in the story.
