Talk:Gold Mario (character)

Uhh with the last sentence in the second paragraph saying that Gold Mario reverting back to regular Mario proving it's just the power up, are we still gonna keep this Gold Mario separate from the form or are they still considered separate characters?
 * Not really, it's sort of like having Metal Mario or Baby Mario merged with Mario because they are the same character. If you want, you could make a TPP, but if he's considered a different character, then maybe we should leave it. Depends really. - 03:23, 21 June 2014 (EDT)
 * I think they are two different characters, to avoid the TPP now that there are so many in this period, make one now would make another TPP in vain. In addition the game also shows the Golden Flower himself, but no character is transformed so I would leave it all so. --Sonic98 (talk) 04:46, 21 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Uh.... English please? - 05:41, 21 June 2014 (EDT)
 * I think he said something like I think they are two different characters, avoid the TPP now because there are so many right now, to make one now would make another TPP in vain. Probably not accurate, but gives you a rough idea. -  05:45, 21 June 2014 (EDT)
 * I have corrected the post, sorry I was wrong. --Sonic98 (talk) 06:02, 21 June 2014 (EDT)

No problem. Is Italian your first language? Point is, he gets his own character spot and has actual gameplay differences, he isn't just a different skin, so I think he deserves this spot. Just like Baby Mario. - 08:41, 21 June 2014 (EDT)

Merge with Gold Mario (form)
"When in his Double Bogey or worse post-hole animation, he gets hit by a Green Shell, turning him into Super Mario, proving that Gold Mario is merely a powered-up Mario."

I'm pretty sure this means that this Gold Mario isn't a separate character like Metal Mario is (as nothing has been shown of him reverting back into normal Super Mario). I could say more, but that sentence pretty much sums it all up. This Gold Mario is just the power up form, proven in game, and not his own character.

Support

 * 1) Per my proposal

Oppose

 * 1) If they were really the same person, why can one player play as Mario and another as Goldy in multiplayer?
 * 2) When grow up, Baby Mario will turn into Mario. It's a similar matter here. It's possible that there is a Mario from a parallel universe, whatever you believe, but the point is, different spot, different character. Like Zero Suit Samus and Sheik, or Mr. L.

Comments
@Koopakoolklub: This doesn't strike me as a particularly strong argument, as the answer to your question is "for gameplay reasons", which is pretty much a get out of jail free card when it comes to continuity discussions. While I'm at it, @Ninelevendo: This argument uses speculation about the origins of the character/form, not established material, and is generally frowned upon in these discussions.

All that said, all current evidence does support this character not being a character and I'm inclined to vote to that effect. -- Chris 19:58, 25 June 2014 (EDT)
