Shouldn't we merge this page with Pauline's?[edit]
They're the same character, so there's no reason for them to have separate pages. Back Alley Guy (talk) 13:36, June 19, 2025 (EDT)
- If they're not a character, they're a form. We do have articles for forms, see Fire Mario and Propeller Mario. For more plot-y secret identity trickery, see Shadow Mario. Therefore Odd Rock keeps their page. Salmancer (talk) 13:39, June 19, 2025 (EDT)
- Should we change the infobox then? Or wait till after game releases (though we know as of now that VoidCo was responsible so that could be in the infobox). This is theorizing, but I think Void Kong's banana thing he's holding did it, as in his artwork you see symbols coming out from it that matches the symbols around Pauline when she gets out of the rock (of course, these specifics wouldn't be added till after release when we know for sure).

- I mean, Mr. L still got the character infobox...

- Fair point, as well as Zokket's. But they have distinct personalities from their alter egos, while Odd Rock and Pauline don't seemingly. Technetium (talk) 13:46, June 19, 2025 (EDT)
- Shadow Mario, Rookie, and Leo Luster also use character infoboxes This suggests alter-egos are more character than form. Considering it's not like Odd Rock has any abilities Pauline doesn't, sounds to me its better put in the inbetween psuedo category. And keeping the character infobox.

Change from character infobox to form infobox?[edit]

Now that the game's out, I'm sorta thinking we should do this. It's not even an alter ego case because Pauline gets transformed into Odd Rock a second time during the game and well she's still considered Pauline there. Plus DK himself gets transformed into what's essentially his version of Odd Rock but without a name. So it's not even a Pauline exclusive thing (like an alter ego would be), and it would make more sense to have the info on Odd Rock DK if this is a transformation page rather than character page. I hope I'm making sense here lol. (Also wow I was spot on in the above convo.) Technetium (talk) 20:15, July 22, 2025 (EDT)
