Talk:Fishin' Lakitu

State of this article
Currently, this article lists off every appearance of a Lakitu with a fishing pole. The problem is, most of these examples are identified simply as "Lakitu." While I think these instances are inspired by Fishin' Lakitu, I feel that they are simply Lakitus that have fishing poles with which they may or may not fish, not necessarily being the "Fishin' Lakitu" entity. I feel that should only qualify when it is officially distinguished as such. Otherwise...we're pretty much defying official terminology, here. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:05, April 7, 2020 (EDT)
 * Agreed. 01:23, April 7, 2020 (EDT)
 * I definitely think this article needs trimming, especially after the Pirate Guy cleanup. 20:13, July 22, 2021 (EDT)
 * Sections that come to mind are Super Mario Odyssey and Mario Party. 21:14, July 22, 2021 (EDT)
 * I'd say literally all of the Mario Kart and derivative appearances can be nixed. The manual for the SNES game has him saying something like, "Hello, my name's Lakitu." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:40, July 23, 2021 (EDT)

Super Mario Odyssey
This is kind of carrying on from the recent agreement of how to handle Piranha Plant type enemies with what they are named in certain games. In Super Mario Odyssey, the name "Fishin' Lakitu" is not used at all, the game calls it simply "Lakitu". So what I'm saying is should we remove information of Super Mario Odyssey from this article and elaborate on the regular Lakitu article? I'm not sure of any other games where Lakitus with fishing rods are simply called "Lakitus", but the same could go with those.
 * See the above section. It should be that way for many other games as well. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:41, November 23, 2020 (EST)
