Merge Redundant Paper Mario Items
There are several items from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door which are clearly intended to return in Super Paper Mario, but have different pages due to having different English names. Considering that they look identical and usually have the same name in every country except the US, they should probably be merged as per the precedent set by more proposals than I can count. As for the items having slightly different effects between games, that happens all the time.

Here's a list of the proposed changes:


 * Koopa Bun would be merged with Koopa Dumpling
 * Mango Delight would be merged with Mango Pudding
 * Mousse Cake would be merged with Mousse
 * Omelette Meal would be merged with Omelette Plate
 * Shroom Roast would be merged with Roast Shroom Dish
 * Spaghetti would be merged with Spaghetti Plate

If there are any I missed, let me know.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) I would question whether or not this proposal is necessary, but either way it would be nice to have a single proposal to point towards should the issue ever come up again.
 * 3) I am wondering about whether it should be a proposal. Either way, Spaghetti and Spaghetti Plate are the only ones mentioned that actually have a big noticeable difference. Besides that, Roast Shroom is slightly different texture from Shroom Roast. That said, I am not 100% sure if we should merge Spaghetti and Spaghetti Plate, but I am 100% ok with the others merging.
 * 4) If they have similar attributes, then a merge is totally acceptable. It's possible name changes can occur over time, after all.
 * 5) Almost all of them look very similar to each other, and, since multiple proposals that are very similar to this have been made before, I support these merges. The only one that I am not 100% sure about is Spaghetti and Spaghetti Plate, since they have big differences in their appearance.
 * 6) Per all.
 * 7) Per all.
 * 8) Per all.
 * 9) Per all.
 * 10) Per all. Besides, we have Duel Glove, Ztar, and Fluffin' Puffin as notable precedents. Hopefully you'll understand what I mean by clicking the links.
 * 11) Per all.
 * 12) Per all.
