Category talk:Characters from other Nintendo games

Isn't this category exactly the same as 3rd Party Characters?

No. This is for Link, Zelda, and those guys. 3rd party is pacman, solid snake, final fantasy characters in nintendo games. H K

How to tell if a game is 3rd party
3rd Party: any character that creates a link to a different system. (ex. FF=PS2)

non-3rd Party: any character (ex. Link) made by the same company (in this case, Nintendo) that appears in another game starring another series charcter.(ex. Mario)

What about second party? -- Sir Grodus

Should Pokemon be on this list
Pokemon isn't a game made by Nintendo although it was published by Nintendo it was made by game freak inc. does that still put them on this list

Nintendo owns Pokémon, so they belong. SeanWheeler (talk) 13:30, 10 August 2013 (EDT)

Remove bosses from SMB2
I don't understand why we include only bosses from Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic. Any enemies including Shy Guy didn't have this category. Why Birdo considered to character from other Nintendo games?

Proposer: Deadline: April 30, 2023, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) Fair option. SMB2 became a full part of the Mario franchise.
 * 2) Since Doki Doki Panic was the basis of Super Mario Bros. 2 and nearly everything in it became very recurrant throughout the Mario franchise, I wouldn't mind making an exception to it.
 * 3) All the DDP bosses have become fully absorbed into the Mario franchise that they're more associated with Mario than their original game. The intro should be changed to "This category excludes bosses from Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic."
 * 4) Super Mario Bros. 2 characters are Mario characters.

Oppose

 * 1) While these characters have become part of the Mario series, it is a fact that they were introduced in a non-Mario game. Let's not Mariowash here. Also, we should include Shy Guys and other SMB2  enemies in this category.
 * 2) This proposal doesn't make any real argument why there should be an exception here, and I don't see a reason to exclude them. The reason Shy Guys and other enemies aren't currently included is because this is specifically a character category, but it could be reworked in the future.
 * 3) Per Wikiboy and Waluigi Time.

 * Yes they do. The proposer always votes on the support option upon the proposal being created. 08:30, April 18, 2023 (EDT)
 * Technically, the proposer can vote on any option they wish or choose not to vote at all. There's nothing stopping a proposer from participating in their own proposal, they're generally expected to support their own proposal and to respond to criticism if necessary. -- 11:50, April 18, 2023 (EDT)
