Talk:Lighthouse keeper

Same character?
Is it really confirmed that the lighthouse keeper and DJ Toad are indeed the same characters? To me, it just looks like two characters with the exact same appearance, which isn't uncommon for Mario standards. 18:27, July 20, 2020 (EDT)
 * That's exactly what I thought. Just because they're both purple Toads with sunglasses, doesn't mean they are the same person. Lots of different Toads use same designs.
 * I'm not really buying it. If they were in the same game, it would seem a bit more likely that they're the same character fulfilling different roles in different places, but it seems likely they're separate characters and just have the same (very generic) design because the developers wanted a Toad with sunglasses, the lighthouse keeper from Color Splash coincidentally already had that design, and they decided to reuse that instead of making an entirely new design for what's essentially the same thing. -- 18:40, July 20, 2020 (EDT)
 * The Sunset Express conductor, Mustard Café chef, and Tangerino Grill Chef all have their designs re-used as well. I did consider that this was a different character, but he's not really given a name either (and "DJ Toad" is also an implied character in Paper Mario, anyways). 18:54, July 20, 2020 (EDT)
