Talk:Arcade Bunny

Split from Sales Bunny, or remove Sales Bunny altogether
There's no evidence that the bunny from StreetPass Mii Plaza and Nintendo Badge Arcade are the same bunny, and saying it changed its appearance just doesn't suffice. Yes, they may look similar and the only thing they changed was the colour, but it's possible they were just designed by the same character designer(s) (They are both from first-party software after all). The term "Sales Bunny" isn't even an official name, whereas the NBA bunny's official name is "Arcade Bunny" as revealed by the recently released Mario Maker costume.

We could split the bunnies into two separate pages, but therein lies another problem. The only things StreetPass Mii Plaza had anything to do with Mario were the costumes and Puzzle Swap panels, which the bunny character was never directly involved with. A Sales Bunny page on its own wouldn't have sufficient info to make it a Mario-related page since it had the Arcade Bunny info to piggyback off of. We don't even have pages for SMP characters like Wentworth or those guys from StreetPass Garden (Flower Power). Therefore, I suggest we keep the Arcade Bunny info (after renaming it) and remove the StreetPass Sales Bunny info altogether, because like I said, they're not the same character.

Wasn't there a line from Sales Bunny about his previous job being the Mii Plaza bunny? I honestly can't remember, because when you fire the game up for the first time Sales Bunny comes with level four diarrhea of the mouth. -- Ghost Jam 06:32, 18 December 2015 (EST)

I can't really find any evidence that the Arcade Bunny and the Sales Bunny are the same person (in fact, I wouldn't think they are due to their appearances being a bit too different, despite obviously being based on it). We can probably have a reference to the Sales Bunny in the Trivia section due to their similarities. Also, we likely have to remove the Real Escape Game info too, since the rabbit in that game is also based on the Sales Bunny, yet not the Arcade Bunny either. Probably the most obvious way to tell they are different is that the Arcade Bunny is male (referred with male pronouns), but the Sales Bunny is female (has a basic white dress. All female Miis in the StreetPass Mii Plaza are identified as such with a dress in their color instead of a shirt like the male Miis are. Same goes for the cats, dogs and rabbits in Find Mii/StreetPass Quest).

You should contact, who started this page and made the connection in the first place. 14:11, 18 December 2015 (EST)

Well, at least I know now why the article is named Sales Bunny in the first place: several image files of this rabbit on the official American site start with char-sales-bunny, so at least you can associate the name with the Arcade Bunny. However, Mario Maker is about the only localized game in which he's directly named, so I believe it should be moved to Arcade Bunny anyway. Also, the files of the other rabbit, found on the American StreetPass Mii Plaza site have her named just "bunny".
