Re:SMBE JP SML2
Yes, Furiko is mentioned as a smaller version of Furizō and the Mario Zone bosses are only known individually in the Japanese version (not "Three Little Pigheads" or any other group name) on page 76. They were also in the older encyclopedia, I've added that reference. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:53, 5 November 2018 (EST)

Re:Raphael
The situation is not exactly the same as Big Lantern Ghost, as both that one from Paper Mario and from Yoshi's New Island have different Japanese names. The one from Paper Mario's size is roughly the same as the the metallic one and has a bandage on his forehead, while the one from Yoshi's New Island is bigger and lacks the bandage. And the Lantern isn't exactly the same, so this is why i putted the split template on Big Lantern Ghost. The Big Lantern Ghost from Paper Mario's Japanese name is Big Kantera-kun, while the Yoshi's New Island one is Mega Kantera. -- 04:39, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * If it gets merged, should "Big Kyutyan" be at least a redirect, since it's Raphael's Japanese name is romanized as Big Kyutyan, and usually, when an english name is found, there's still a redirect to the Japanese name. Take exemple on Slip Slidin' Away (Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3). -- 04:03, 9 November 2018 (EST)

"Only" in Sentences
I've learned that putting "only" in different places in a sentence can alter the meaning of it. For example, "The bucket can only hold three gallons of water," means that the bucket holds three gallons of water but does not empty it, whereas "The bucket can hold only three gallons of water," means that the bucket can hold no more than three gallons of water. People who take certain sentences literally might misunderstand what they are really saying. Dwhitney (talk) 12:38, 7 November 2018 (EST)

Re:Spike Top artwork
What I do know is that the "Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia" came out approximately four years after Super Mario World and one year before Mario Clash. If it's the first appearance of the Spike Top artwork, that time gap can lead one to conclude that it doesn't fully coincide with the game. Note that the book seems to have artwork exclusively drawn for it (namely some arcade and Game Boy enemies), so there's a decent chance it was made later. If there is an earlier release of the artwork, let me know! LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:09, 13 November 2018 (EST)

RE: Flower Fields
That something is odd about Flower Fields doesn't mean it's a different dimension or anything of the like.

Re:Squeaks
You're right, but looking again, the disambig is now completely unnecessary since the name for Little Mouser in The Thousand-Year Door is "Squeek" and not "Squeak" like it stated. LinkTheLefty (talk) 07:00, 18 November 2018 (EST)
 * It seems silly to keep the disambig page when one example is a misspelling and the other is a fake. I'd say it falls under the "too general" exemption. I don't understand why the policy was recently updated to retain conjectural titles and spelling mistakes, but the spelling mistake only applies to one actual subject.

Re:Commas and name citations
Yes, it was Walkazo. Specifically, I remember there was a post about how that citation style was preferred because it is more academic or scientific. Although, the way things were done before was "first come, first serve" generally, but Big Cheep Cheep having an inconsistency with the commas right in the first sentence just looked silly. In fairness, things have changed since then (for example, we now enforce American spelling over British spelling instead of using whichever happened to be written first, which frankly looked unprofessional yet actually used to be warnable), so maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to look into getting a clearer policy on this as well to help set the record straight.

Re:A question on Dark Horse
To be honest, I don't know too much about the Zelda Encyclopedia translation due to losing interest in post-Hyrule Historia books after I heard that Hyrule Graphics onwards was mostly written by Nintendo Dream with a conspicuous disclaimer stating that artistic liberties were taken with the source material, essentially making them licensed fanfiction in my eyes. The new things that Encyclopedia says about the Kokiri and Majora's Mask makes me certain those magazine writers took the chance to get their fan theories approved. Of course, I could be wrong and Nintendo really did intend for Kokiri to only be rural Hylians who aren't actually children or that saving Termina was basically purposeless, but the fact we've only heard about these details in such a sketchy product makes me seriously question the authenticity of these claims. It disappoints me that Zelda Wiki decided these recent books override references to existing ones for no good reason, knowing the iffy writing and flimsy translation.

But I digress. I do know of at least one error with the translation of Encyclopedia, and that has to do with its timeline. In the newer timeline (which seems to be valid since the series' Japanese website reuses it), in addition to the inclusion of some games that have been released since Hyrule Historia, the position of Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages was moved from between A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening to sometime not long after both. In the Japanese version, it's a different Link, presumably to explain why Zelda doesn't appear to recognize him (even though he literally waltzes right up to the Triforce and is automatically accepted as a hero right at the beginning of these games, so there was going to be a plot hole either way). In the English version, it's the same Link, making the shift pointless. Personally, after A Link Between Worlds implied that the characters of "Gramps" and "Mapes" were respectively ALttP Link and Maple, I don't understand the change. LinkTheLefty (talk) 07:50, 2 December 2018 (EST)
 * Even more - it's outright stated. There was a Zelda Universe thread when the Japanese version, Hyrule Encyclopedia, first came out (post #30 is where the Termina bit is translated, post #123 is where the staff page and "creative liberty" statement were discovered). Though in retrospect, Nintendo more or less letting fans write encyclopedic books for one of their key franchises sort of set the bar for what happened with the English version of Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia. LinkTheLefty (talk) 02:20, 3 December 2018 (EST)
 * Yeah, I also feel pretty strongly about it, and they're both among my personal favorite 2D and 3D games in the series.

RE: Boss Bass
That's exactly what I meant when I brought up the Ptooie case. 13:44, 5 December 2018 (EST)

Re:Blurp Bass
Well, the game itself only refers to them as Blurps (Japanese: Pukupuku, oddly enough), so you can easily consider them the same thing but just color variants of each other. Additionally, Red Blurp itself is very similar to Boss Bass, and having Blue Blurp in the same article would actually help a ton in differentiating them (plus it's about as likely to have been the Star Hole in Mario Golf, so taking it as one "Blurp" would make that a bit cleaner). So I would lean towards this idea, sure. As for the artwork, I'm not sure. I'm guessing the original source for it might have been the old website. If it is, it probably accompanies Cheep Cheep or Red Blurp, so we'd go with whichever one it was. LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:50, 7 December 2018 (EST)

A spooky question
Since you told me you've worked with music and sound before, I'd like to know your opinion on something. Let's say there's a game that reuses a track from another game with some differences, such as having a different soundfont and maybe some pitches added. For example, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis uses a version of the Spooky House theme from Mario vs. Donkey Kong for its Spooky Attic level. In this case, what should the Spooky Attic version be called in relation to the original?
 * "remix" is out of the question because the composition is the same
 * "arrangement" sounds too pretentious for what it is; the term feels like it would refer to an orchestrated version or something that uses real instruments, while here we're talking strictly electronic sounds
 * "cover" is used exclusively for songs, afaik.

For situations like these, I prefer using the term "retuned version" (e.g. "The Spooky Attic theme is a retuned version of the Spooky House theme.") because it uses different tunes for the same composition. However, not only does it sound fake, it can also be misread as "returned" with a second "r".

There are many music tracks from the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series in the same situation and I want to know what's good for the future. Therefore, what term do you think best fits this case? -- 19:59, 13 December 2018 (EST)

Re:"Normal Pokey Doesn't Appear In The Game"
That's called "Dharma Sambo" (だるまサンボ) on page 127 of Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros., but the Prima guide calls it a red "Pokey" on pages 197 and 204. The Super Mario Galaxy Prima guide isn't as neat as the Super Mario Galaxy 2 one and calls several enemies more generically (for example, Piranha Plant and Spiny Piranha Plant are both "Piranha Plants", Goomba and Goombeetle are both "Goombas", Octoguys are "squids", etc.). Dharma Samba is smaller than Coco Sambo and is defeated more easily, so I totally get how the wiki arrived at "Pokey" and "Big Pokey" - but that's also now Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia material, so we should probably do something about them. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:11, 31 January 2019 (EST)
 * "Big Pokey" got in the English Encyclopedia (so did the Spiny/Prickly mix-up that you and Ultimate caught on, incidentally), so at least that one's in a position where it should be changed. The red Pokey / Dharma Sambo might use some discussion first since there's something to it, though. Anyway, I've been using the filename romanizations since they do match up ("Dharma" likely refers to a, with which it shares etymology in Japanese, I guess due to its smoother round segments). About that website - I know what you're talking about. It was here and it had WIP info on the sequel and Super Mario 3D Land as well, but now it's been converted to a game hack page and the original site seems gone. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:49, 31 January 2019 (EST)
 * That's another reason why I thought it might be better to just split off Big Pokey now and worry about the red Pokey later, but there's "coconut" for Coco Sambo and "red" for Dharma Sambo off the top of my head. Neither are very ideal, though. Maybe "yellow Super Mario Galaxy enemy" and "red Super Mario Galaxy enemy" or something along those lines if it's not too wordy. Also, since the namesake coconuts aren't used to defeat the Thwomp Desert Pokey, I don't think it's supposed to be the same thing. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:16, 31 January 2019 (EST)
 * If that's the case, then both should be merged with Pokey (at least for now), since having Coco Sambo as Big Pokey would basically be citing Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia... LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:41, 31 January 2019 (EST)
 * The thing is that Big Pokey didn't properly exist until New Super Mario Bros. U. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:14, 31 January 2019 (EST)
 * You're right! There are definitely two different-sized Pokeys in the Double Dash version of the course, so I'll add it as its debut. It'd be simplest to leave the article unsplit... Although, on the other hand, the trading card also treats them as color variations instead of mentioning a size difference. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:44, 1 February 2019 (EST)

Re:SMRPG Magikoopa
There are several Magikoopas seen with Bowser at Rose Way and Moleville, so I think the more likely scenario is that Square intended for a Magikoopa to be fought as a basic enemy like the Goombas and Terrapins that also accompany Bowser (in fact, there's some evidence suggesting that there might have been an entire deleted area), but it was removed and repurposed for the intro (Magidragon and BB-Bomb have blank names in the Japanese version, so they were likely always intended for the intro). This may be the reason why Magikoopa/Kamezard was given a unique name from the generic Magikoopa/Kamek. That reminds me: in the Japanese version, it's made clearer that not only was Kamezard leading Bowser's Magikoopas, but Jagger and the Goomba from Monstro Town (the guardian of the triplets) were also part of Bowser's remaining Terrapins and Goombas.

 * I found Hisshō Kōryakuhō when I looked up a Doki Doki Panic help guide, and found an enemy page from the book. It matches up with the art in the Super Mario USA version as seen on the talk page (note Mario and a potion can be spotted there), so it seems the company reused artwork. You can also see that there's artwork that the Video Game Art Archive didn't upload, such as Tryclyde and Green Birdo. I can't tell at this point if all of the artwork is the same, as the Super Mario Bros. 2 manual updated Pokey and the guide's artwork is closer to the original.

About using romanized file names
I don't think it's inherently ridiculous; I did the same approximation for the "Big" enemies (like Paragoomba) from Super Mario Galaxy 2, which kept things more consistent and much less of a headache to keep track of on those pages. It slightly bends protocol a bit, sure, but it conveniently aligns with the current conclusion. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:30, 11 February 2019 (EST)
 * I mean, if "Giant Land Para-Goomba" couldn't be used, then using "Big Paragoomba" like that would've been anachronistic, hence referencing the filename (also because the older big names for the other enemies were spanning several different time frames and frankly looked silly when applied to Super Mario Galaxy 2 given they'd be using the current names right in the next game). Though I guess they're not direct romanizations like Propeller Packun because that would be "Deka" and unusable. LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:14, 11 February 2019 (EST)
 * I concede on Propeller Piranha, but again (even putting aside that Big Paragoomba didn't exactly exist yet): Giant Goomba originally came from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Piranha Plant originally came from the New Super Mario Bros. guide, and the big Koopa Troopa presented the distinct problem of which name from the Super Mario Bros. 3 guide would be most appropriate (should it be Giant Koopa, which is an umbrella term that could be grouping Colossal Koopa Paratroopas together, or Green Gargantua Koopa Troopa, even though Red Giant Koopa Troopas don't appear and thus the color distinction is superfluous?). It was a hodge-podge of various outdated sources, and in this case, a simpler, less messy method is available - the "Big" filenames arriving at the same destination. Either way, it wasn't going to be perfect. LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:54, 11 February 2019 (EST)
 * Are you thinking of the Koopa Troopas from the first game? They also came in red, but they're all green in the sequel. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:08, 11 February 2019 (EST)
 * I was referring to Super Mario Galaxy 2. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:20, 11 February 2019 (EST)
 * I'm referring to the enemies from Supermassive Galaxy in general, which all reference their modern "Big" names now. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:25, 11 February 2019 (EST)
 * Keep in mind that Big Wigglers and Big Thwomps are also in Supermassive Galaxy, so you would've had all these different names for a big enemy from more or less unrelated sources clashing with the modern one within the same space. That case is one where being strict is counterintuitive and a bit of an eyesore. LinkTheLefty (talk) 00:10, 12 February 2019 (EST)
 * Because it marks a turning point where the standard was knowingly switched to "Big" over the unique names. LinkTheLefty (talk) 00:18, 12 February 2019 (EST)
 * Just Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as far as I know. If it counts, the Super Mario Galaxy Prima guide calls it a "big Goomba" then switches to "giant Goomba" (29). Unfortunately, the Super Mario Galaxy 2 Prima guide also didn't use proper names. LinkTheLefty (talk) 00:32, 12 February 2019 (EST)
 * Just like Small Goomba, the impression I had is that it was never considered a "true" Big Goomba since it is a normal one artificially under Kamek's spell, but I could be wrong. LinkTheLefty (talk) 00:50, 12 February 2019 (EST)
 * Paper Mario: Color Splash is a case where the Japanese names are different as well, with Mega Goomba being Kyodai Kuribō instead of Deka Kuribō and Small Goomba being Chibi Kuribō instead of Mame Kuribō (though for what it's worth, the internal names are big_kuribo and small_kuribo). LinkTheLefty (talk) 01:15, 12 February 2019 (EST)

I just found out that the Prima guide for Super Mario 3D World consistently gives the name "Mega Piranha Plant" to Big Piranha Plant, and since the filename for it is PackunFlowerBig, that proves me wrong. So I'll move the affected big enemies back to the then-current names and make an exception for Big Paragoomba. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:38, 14 February 2019 (EST)

 * It's hard to tell because they're animated. I honestly don't think there's enough to say with absolute certainty that they are Flurries, but maybe it would work better as trivia?

 * No idea - I skimmed through the early Nintendo Power coverage, their Inside Out, Mario Mania and All-Stars guides, and even the Prima Super Mario Advance guide for good measure, and haven't found it at all. According to Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros., it's not Super Mario USA artwork since that's just an early version of the Super Mario Advance artwork, and the one in the Super Mario World section is just an alternate recolored version of the jumping variant artwork from the Super Mario USA section. Worse case scenario, it's random fan-art that somehow got mixed in here. Unfortunately, the uploader hasn't posted in about five years. On another note, related to the above - do you think the appearance of Big Goomba in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Mario Galaxy 2 should be referred to as Grand Goomba instead of Giant Goomba? The reason being that "Grand Goomba" comes from Super Mario series sources whereas "Giant Goomba" was only used in a Smash Bros. series source (similar to this failed proposal idea).

Something's wrong with the MLSSBM Bestiary!
Hey. I really hate to be a tattletale right now, but an anomymous user is constantly editing the Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions bestiary. I don't know what's up with | all the hoopla going on, but I think you should talk to whoever was editing the stats. The "Fawful (1)" and "Fawful (2)" categories are messing up the top part of the bestiary.

Re:Zeldawiki
At least they eventually corrected "ReDead Knight" (I actually suggested moving it to "Gibdo" long ago)...albeit not entirely for the right reasons. It looks incredibly amateurish for them to refer to official names they'd prefer not to use as "not considered Canon" (a term that should really be reserved for story). Their references are also completely out of whack now that they are sometimes plain hard to read (just look at Ganon or Princess Zelda) and are for some reason entirely sucking up to the Dark Horse books by having them replace older valid sources (does that mean they consider the names and info they use to be unofficial before the release of those books or what?). It's really messy. I wouldn't even know where to begin to be honest. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:20, 1 March 2019 (EST)
 * Could be that the editors who went around replacing existing references with Dark Horse ones didn't get around to Zazak, or they knew deep down that merging would be a mistake. The logic isn't internally consistent with ReDead Knight getting a partial merge with Gibdo. They don't have a naming policy, do they? LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:48, 1 March 2019 (EST)
 * That's something that should be cleaned up in addition to citation policy, since their idea of naming doesn't have a whole lot of structure to it. They also probably don't need to cite things that should be readily evident in the games unless it's obscure info. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:27, 1 March 2019 (EST)

If it were up to me, I'd honestly just leave Helmaroc King split (ain't no way Helmasaur King is a "Great Bird"). I'd want Zora merged because the sea Zora and river Zora distinction was only made through one or two dialog boxes one time (in Oracle of Ages). In Hyrule, both types claim Zora River, so the "sea" name never really worked out as a whole. Their current "enemy" identifier doesn't factor the times some were friendly NPCs (like A Link Between Worlds). I'm pretty sure Ocarina of Time's Zoras were originally designed with the 2D incarnation in mind. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:15, 5 March 2019 (EST)
 * I actually forgot about that Brawl trophy. Considering other examples that come to mind over the years like Wizzrobe and Lizalfos, I guess it would be kind of fruitless to separate the Zelda species based on design characteristics. In the Link's Awakening Switch trailer, you can even see that the Moblin design has been updated to include a pig nose to move away from the original bulldog version. In the end, it may just be better to play it as loosely as Nintendo is choosing to do and not lose sleep over it. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:59, 6 March 2019 (EST)
 * If we applied it to our policy standards, Fallmaster has in-game references from Ocarina of Time and The Minish Cap calling it "Wallmaster" and "Wall Master" respectively, and I'm fairly certain the original Wall Master (from walls) technically only appeared in one game, so "Wall Master (The Legend of Zelda)" could be a separate article. This is all going to be a hard sell to the current wiki... LinkTheLefty (talk) 06:50, 7 March 2019 (EST)
 * I got the English version of A Link Between Worlds because I didn't want to wait another month for the Japanese version to get my Zelda fix (I did the same for the Wii version of Twilight Princess earlier), so I didn't get the Japanese guide. I know that Clyde Mandelin, a professional translator also known for the Mother 3 fan translation, has copies of both for his Legends of Localization series, so he might be the one to ask (by the way, he also did a brilliant playthrough for the English version of Super Mario RPG, using his own program to display equivalent text from the Japanese ROM in the corner in realtime and make translation comparisons on the fly). LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:59, 7 March 2019 (EST)

I mean, you can potentially start whatever wiki you want to. But if you want them to fix their sources, talking on that actual wiki is a good first step. They can also explain how they work. I've worked on Zelda Wiki a few times, taking part in their weekly "Wiki Weekly" event, and (while they certainly use an overabundance of references for my tastes) I haven't noticed too many naming problems, if any. 18:09, 7 March 2019 (EST)

I should mention that I actually haven't reregistered my account with Zelda Wiki since the Gamepedia merger (I can but, as Alex95 mentioned, it seems it's bad timing since they have their own issues right now what with Wikia/Fandom shenanigans)...

 * Our goals align. Their ground-up approach should also theoretically reduce clutter in the long run. This could work. The main issue is that most people are going to search for "Legend of Zelda Wiki" or something along those lines, so if we set our attention on them, the "Zelda Archive" name would need promoting to get out there.

The hand thing is weird. "Hand" and "???" are very likely meant to be the same type of character, while Phoeni has the same role, but is a different character (she's a girl, while the other two are boys).

 * Well, dang, didn't actually see the MM source. Yeah, that's dumb. Phoeni I think is supposed to be a completely different character, but they used the Prima name to distinguish her from ???.

Just remember all the barriers and potential problems this could have. I might pop in and make some edits, but please do keep in mind the issues this could cause. In addition, making a "competitor" out of spite wont resolve anything--if you make another zelda wiki, i suggest a unique purpose behind it--and originality added in.

The only thing is that every guide gives Piscatory Pete a separate entry from Flopsy Fish, so you'd think it'd just be mentioned in one "Cheep Cheep" description like Seedy Sally and Short Fuse for Ukiki if they wanted to consider it the same thing. It may be best as a proposal considering the Flopsy Fish merge was also a proposal, though between this and Needlenose (which is called "Pokey" in not one, but both more recent guides), I feel like the source priority exception proposal is starting to show its flaws.

Re:Wallmaster Vs. Bob-omb
The thing about Bob-omb is that we do know of a few occasions where they are considered to have debuted in Super Mario Bros. 2, so it goes beyond name changes and into character descriptions. That's different territory. For example, the earlier Super Smash Bros. games, while not perfect, did try to list the specific debut before the English writers later went with the Japanese idea of general appearances. Another thing is that the designs in the Zelda series can vary wildly, whereas the original Bob-Omb enemy (at least as seen in the in-game sprites and Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2 artwork as opposed to Super Mario USA / Super Mario Advance artwork) is unmistakably classic Bob-omb, just with hands and recolored feet. I feel like the Super Mario Sunshine enemy splits (as derivative species including Bob-omb) are likelier to pass, although I'm wary of that since it seems more like a retroactive explanation.

Re:Quick solution
My impression is that the guidance translator had access to an internal localization database (accounting for the Spiny/Prickly fix), but it didn't contain any entries for the Yoshi's Island DS Piranha Plants (hence why they aren't in the Nintendo Power guide), so the wiki was looked up as a judgment call. LinkTheLefty (talk) 07:55, March 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think Doomhiker was going to make a proposal on it, but the discussion slowed down after Glowsquid's post, and then it more or less halted after the Polterpiranha thing came to light. My stance is probably still outnumbered, though. After some thought, here's my idea: I'd be all right with renaming the article to Nipper Dandelion if it's referred to by its original Watage Pakkun name when referring to Yoshi's Island DS. We don't usually do that for foreign names, but it's not explicitly disallowed and given the circumstances, it's reasonable to do it here. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:15, March 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * At the end of the day, for twelve years straight, it was unofficial. Applying this name to those articles would be citing ourselves. Also, I can think of at least one other instance where we use Japanese names for certain appearances - namely the Mad Scienstein from Wario Land 3, who goes by "Arewo Shitain-hakase" in Wario Land 4 articles. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:22, March 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * But we'd be citing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a game that retroactively "officialized" it over a decade after Yoshi's Island DS. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:44, March 27, 2019 (EDT)
 * Except this approach would not be wholly "prohibiting" it - it would treat it as the conjectural name it was then and the official name it is now going forward. It is pretty much objectively what the talk page's "accurate documentation" would look like if it is true to the claim. LinkTheLefty (talk) 21:55, March 27, 2019 (EDT)

Re: Spike Top and Red Spike Top
I dunno if I'm wording this right, but TTYD treats Red Spike Tops as derivatives more than minor variants, imo. It'd be one thing if it was like Color Splash and Blue Spike Tops and Red Spike Tops were treated roughly the same by the game, but it's a lot more like the KP Koopa situation if anything.

On another note, if you're referencing the SMRPG Snifits, those should be split seeing as how their English name is the only reason they're merged in the first place. Who has lost his tail? 18:48, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * Do you think KP Koopas should be merged with regular Koopas since they have the same stats and look like regular yellow Koopas from SMW? Who has lost his tail? 18:54, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * The name's really not the important part, imo. Who has lost his tail? 23:32, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * The color variations in the newer games aren't treated the same as Red Spike Top, though, which is part of why I don't think they should be treated the same by the wiki. And the fact that TTYD made a conscious decision to make regular Spike Tops blue and treat the "normal" design as a new variant is another reason I think they should stay split. Who has lost his tail? 23:49, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * That's kind of speculative, imo. PM64 had the same gameplay, but still made Spike Tops red. Who has lost his tail? 23:53, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * I still doubt that's why Spike Tops are blue in TTYD. Who has lost his tail? 00:11, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * For one, regular Spike Tops continued to be blue until Sticker Star, which redesigned most of the enemies to look like their platformer designs anyway. Also note that TTYD has unused graphics and data for "Aka Metto", "Aka Pata Metto", and "Aka Pata Togemetto", showing that Red Spike Tops are the only remaining part of an otherwise unused Red Buzzy Beetle enemy type. Who has lost his tail? 02:37, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * Either way, they're clearly intended to be distinct from regular Spike Tops. I think they should stay split for the same reason I think KP Koopas shouldn't be merged with regular Koopas. Who has lost his tail? 02:51, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * And KP Koopas are just Koopa Troopas that dyed their shells, doesn't mean they should be merged. (And I'd argue there is such a thing as a "regular Koopa", considering how KP Pete's overworld Tattle says he's "just a basic Koopa".) Who has lost his tail? 03:55, April 1, 2019 (EDT)
