Talk:Giant Bowser

Is this article's title conjectural? I know the SSBM deal makes it at least part conjecture...

Did you say "Part Conjecture"? I  am   Confused  22:19, 9 April 2007 (EDT)


 * You know, half conjecture; half not. There's a whole template for that.

Um... Merge with Bowser???

I definitly say merge...... - Ultimatetoad

Yeah, merging it with Bowser would make a lot of sense. Keep the screenshot though :P -

If it's a conjectural form, then it should be merged. 15:16, 26 July 2007 (EDT)


 * I'd have to disagee with the merge. Hope I'm not becoming A Link to the Past. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif

I'd say merge. But then again, we do have Giant Baby Bowser. 17:20, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

I request a merge with Bowser!

My opinion here is the same as in the Giant DK article. Besides, Giant Bowser is a boss in Melee and in New Super Mario Bros. So we should keep it. And I'm not saying this just because I wrote this article. --Xeze 07:19, 6 February 2008 (EST)

I'd say merge. Maybe a proposal is in order?
 * That name isn't even official. - 16:26, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Merge Giant Bowser to Bowser
I really don't see any reason to separate Giant Bowser from Bowser, since the two are clearly one and the same.

Proposer: Deadline: April 3, 2011 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) - Per my proposal.
 * 2) I am Zero! Regular and Giant Bowser are the same person. There are no difference except with size; even at that point, Mario can still beat him. Zero signing out.
 * 3) Per discussion, all, and proposal. The name is not even official.
 * 4) - Per proposal; per the precedent set on Talk:Giant Kirby. This isn't a separate entity, and it's not really an official power-up either: Bowser's always using different things to grow (meat, a minigame in his Rump Command, offscreen magic...), and his "giant" size varies drastically (i.e. in NSMB he's barely any bigger than he is normally). Growing huge is pretty much a standard ability of his by this point: it'd be better to give a succinct overview there, rather than keep this mass of unrelated "giant" situations. The fact that "Giant Bowser" appears more than the SSB-only Giant forms is irrelevant, as is the part about plot significance: the Bowser page and the game pages themselves can describe what happens perfectly fine without a corresponding sectionstub here to link to.
 * 5) In some games, we don't even know if Bowser is Giant Bowser or if it is just size inconsistency. Per all.
 * 6) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) They are different so this should stay.
 * 2) Per Yoshidude99.
 * 3) Stay! Per both!
 * 4) Per all. Giant Bowser has more appearences than Giant Donkey Kong and Giant Kirby.
 * 5) Per Tails777.
 * 6) Giant Kirby and Giant DK are just bigger forms of their respective characters, this, however, has a bigger impact on the storyline and appears in many games.
 * 7) If it appears in multiple games and affects the storyline of the game (similar to what Bowser's luma said), then it should be a separate article.
 * 8) Per BL.
 * 9) - Mario gets big by eating Mushroom = Super Mario. Bowser gets big by eating Meat = Delete? No thx, my math skills refuse to allow me to support this equation (or proposal).
 * 10) Lets merge all of Marios forms into Mario?
 * 11) This isn't like Giant DK and Giant Kirby, Giant Bowser is a tad more prominent (<-understatement).

Comments
I should probably state that I'm not talking about Giga Bowser (who is obviously a separate entity). I only did up this proposal, because a similar one was done for Giant Kirby (which passed), along with Giant Donkey Kong (which seems likely to pass). I would think the same reactions would be applied to Giant Bowser too. 09:54, 20 March 2011 (EDT)
 * That sounds reasonable. I should agree with you on this. I think you're right, we do need to merge this.
 * We have the different articles for the different forms for Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Wario. You realize that, right?
 * I am Zero! Like what for each one? Zero signing out.
 * We have Yoshi's forms from Mario Galaxy 2, we have pages for Tiny Wario, Wario-Man and all the forms from the Wario-Land series and we have pages for every single Mario form ever.
 * Shouldn't this at least be merged with Bowser?
 * That is exactly what this is proposing.
 * Orly? I thought the article was going to be deleted. I fail.
 * No you don't, it's just a simple misunderstanding.

I am Zero! I think Yoshidude99's oppose is invalid, and thus the next two opposers, since he doesn't really explain. Zero signing out.
 * Zero777: I think he means that Giant Bowser appears more than Giant DK and Giant Kirby.
