Talk:Big Monty Mole

Separating Big Monty Mole and Mega Monty Mole
Should Big Monty Moles and Mega Monty Moles be separated since Mega Monty Moles are bosses and Big Monty Moles are just enemies? MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 01:40, September 28, 2021 (EDT)

I don't think so. They are pretty much identical in appearance, both being bigger Monty Moles. 01:56, September 28, 2021 (EDT)

So should any enlarged Monty Moles be put in this page (Unless they have a different appearance and characteristics) MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 02:33, September 28, 2021 (EDT)

If they are notable (not random cameo and background appearances) and are confirmed to be called Big or Mega Monty Moles or something similar, probably yes, though I'm not entirely sure. 02:41, September 28, 2021 (EDT)

Should Super Monty Mole from volume 1 of Super Mario-kun get their own page or be grouped with Big Monty Mole? MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 20:18, September 28, 2021 (EDT)

I'm not sure. I don't know anything about the comics. But if he looks similar, I think its worth a discussion. Though if he is very notable, he might get his own article. (Though images might be needed)  20:24, September 28, 2021 (EDT)

I wanted to clarify that Mega Monty Mole is a Monty Mole enlarged by Kamek (This is confirmed in their Mario Party: Star Rush description). big Monty Moles on the other hand seem to not be enlarged by Kamek (since they can be seen naturally in Yoshi’s Crafted World and serval official courses in the Super Mario Maker games). I believe this is further proof that Mega Monty Moles and big Monty Moles are separate. MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 02:31, October 4, 2021 (EDT)
 * Here's the issue: "Kyodai" in the Japanese name is the original indicator for "big" in SMB3 (Kyodai Kuribo, Kyodai Nokonoko, Kyodai Patapata, Kyodai Pakkun Flower, Kyodai Pukupuku) which they still return to (Kyodai Pukupuku being used for the Cheep Cheep Chase Cheep on Mario Party Superstars' website). In NSMB and some of the Party games, it's used for some entities translated as "Mega" (barring NSMB's Mega Goomba, which is "Boss Kuribo" instead). Most other recent games use Dai or Deka for "big," but they've pretty much never been used at the same time as each other for entities of the same base species, and seem to just be a matter of what the developers want to call them at that particular time. The only one treated with any sort of distinctness is "Big" in the Yoshi games, since Smash treats Deka Pakkun Flower and Big Pakkun separately. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:51, October 4, 2021 (EDT)
