Talk:Bros. Item

Merge?
Anyone think we should merge this with Bros. Attacks? Bros. Items are basically the same thing, and this page is pretty small as it is. We could basically copy-and-paste it, with a tiny explanation. Super Eli (talk) 08:37, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * The differences are noteworthy enough for this to warrant its own article.
 * Like what? Super Eli (talk) 08:37, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * They are treated as items in this game unlike every other game. That's pretty much the main reason.
 * They serve the exact same purpose, and could very well be Bros. Attacks. Here, watch.

The concept of Bros. Attacks was replaced with Bros. Items in the sequel, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, which are disposable attacks that can be bought from shops or found in ? Blocks. All Bros. Items can be activated by either bro. Some Bros. Items can be used by only 2 brothers, while some require all 4. The first Bros. Item is given to Baby Mario and Baby Luigi by Toadsworth the Younger in Hollijolli Village when they fight the three Shroobs in the village, with the Green Shell item, and later on the player obtains different kinds of Bros. Items.

Boom. Right here is how you could merge the articles. Super Eli (talk) 08:56, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * Well if you really want to go through with it, set up a proposal then.


 * You know what? I WILL!

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..how do you do that, exactly? Super Eli (talk) 09:02, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * Proposals shows how to do it.
 * And where do I put the proposal? Super Eli (talk) 09:13, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * Create a new section on this page.
 * Got it. Thanks for the help! By the way, how do I make this official? Super Eli (talk) 09:30, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * So what happens if nobody votes? Or if a certain side has more votes than the other? Super Eli (talk) 09:34, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * It's already official, I think if nobody votes the proposal can be extended by another two weeks. If more people vote support, you can carry out what the proposal is for (but not until after the deadline date), and if more people vote oppose, then nothing will happen.

Merge page with Bros. Attack
Bros. Attacks have been a staple of the Mario and Luigi series for a long time. In Mario and Luigi: Partners In Time, they were replaced with Bros. Items. However, they have never reappeared since then and serve the same purpose as Bros. Attacks. As such, I think it's necessary to merge this page with the main Bros. Attack page, as seen above.

Proposer: Deadline: October 1, 2020, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * I support this per my proposal.

Oppose

 * 1) Per what I said in the section above.
 * 2) Per Keyblade Master.
 * 3) The fact that they are consumable items in this game instead of traditional attacks differentiates them enough in my opinion.
 * 4) Bros. Items can be bought and sold instead of earning them through Attack Pieces, so I think that makes them different enough. They can stay separate.
 * 5) Per all.

Comments
Personally, what I'd do is keep this its own article, but give them a mini-section in the article for Bros. Attacks mentionining how they served as a replacement to them in Partner's in Time, with a "Main Page:" redirect for those looking for more info.  ~Camwood777  (talk)  10:22, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * That's pretty much how it is already.
 * Not necessarily. The Bros. Attack article states, and I quote, "The concept of Bros. Attacks was replaced with Bros. Items in the sequel, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, which are disposable attacks that can be bought from shops or found in ? Blocks." That's it. Considering Bros. Attacks and Bros. Items serve the same purpose, Bros. Items should definitely be elaborated on in the Bros. Attack article or merged with the Bros. Attack article. Super Eli (talk) 12:58, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * If they aren't merged, they don't need to be elaborated on in the Bros. Attacks article since they already have their own article here. See Once and only once. -- 13:09, September 17, 2020 (EDT)
