Talk:Little bird

Did this need splitting?
They're obviously intended to be the same thing as the Birds from Super Mario World, they even look the same...and they were covered there just fine as well. Howsabout we merge this? 16:50, 23 July 2017

We have an article for generic butterflies, despite their differences in behavior. The ones in Super Mario Sunshine don't need their own page, and neither do the ones in 3D Land.This also got rid of the coverage of other ambient birds in the series, as well as removing reference to the ones in Mario is Missing, which actually do things. This was unnecessary and somewhat appalling. 16:54, 23 July 2017
 * Well, these birds always have the same appearance in the various games they are featured in, two of which are spin-off titles, not games directly derived from Super Mario 3D games. I think that this alone makes them notable enough. To further show their importance, these same birds are going to be featured in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, a crossover game. Also, the birds of Super Mario Sunshine are involved in the gameplay, so I don't really see why they don't deserve their own page. If you want to create a page for the other ambient birds, feel free to create it, but in my opinion these little white birds are just too relevant not to deserve their own page.--Mister Wu (talk) 18:56, 23 July 2017 (EDT)
 * No, they're not "obviously intended" to be the same thing as the birds from Super Mario World (and I don't even know where you got "they even look the same", they don't have the same color and structure, at best, they're both passerine-like birds, but that's pretty much it). In Super Mario World, the birds have sparrow-like designs and have their colors based on the colored Yoshis. In Super Mario 3D Land, they are white, designed after tists, and have crests and do not draw any parallel to the appearance of the birds on the roof of Super Mario World. And as Mister Wu said, if the ambient animals have a gameplay function, they deserve their own page, and the birds and butterflies in Super Mario Sunshine etc do have a gameplay function different from their real world counterpart and thus deserve a page.


 * I've gave this specific bird a page mostly because of its extremely specific design for an ambient object and its gameplay role in Mario Sports Superstars. 19:02, 23 July 2017 (EDT)
