User:Wandering Poplin/Alter ego subpage

Testing an idea for better coverage of character alter-egos which are not largely enough to hold without having to scroll through dozens of pages. Currently uses Mario alter-egos as the template. Does not include powerups, lookalikes, unnamed disguises, alternate outfits, or alternate names for the character in question. (Examples: Jumpman, The Great Gonzales, Big M, etc.)

This page needs improvement. Specifically:

• For alter-egos which do not have their own articles, go into greater detail in their coverage.

Requested improvements must be clear, pertinent, and well-formed. Please refrain from adding bullet points such as "Add more information" or "Write the rest of the article".
