Talk:Big Boo (boss)

The Big Boos role in games out side of Super Mario World
Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't The Big Boo a specific character who only appears in Super Mario World while all of these other roles are just for Big Boos but not The Big Boo

True. Most of the stuff should be deleted.
 * I'm just going to go on a reverting spree than unless somebody can provide proof that all of the Big Boos are the Big Boo


 * Because, I could tell you since you came. Can you tell? There is one Big Boo that was considered as a character. This Big Boo, who is the boss who appeared in Super Mario World. Because something surprises you that The Big Boo is actually the same Big Boo who kept appearing in Super Mario 64 to Super Mario 64 DS, you didn't want to believe it.


 * There is only one who looks identical to that of a Big Boo, who appears as a boss and a rival who causes trouble to Mario himself, and The Big Boo is a leader, who leads the Boos while there were no one, before King Boo or Bigger Boo. And yet, the is currently The Big Boo and King Boo who is known as two characters who actually lead the Boos themselves, and they are known to be affiliated since they live in the same world in Super Mario 64 DS. Unlike King Boo, The Big Boo can't be said to be Bowser's servant since we haven't seen him working for him, yet he can be his ally.


 * A character such as The Big Boo is also known as Big Boo too. It told me that these Big Boo characters are The Big Boo himself since he was always with small Boos alongside him and order them. That's why that is The Big Boo from Super Mario World.--Prince Ludwig 20:15, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Say what? Don't get it.


 * In all of that you provided no source that says that all of those Big Boos were The Big Boo and therefore until you do the info will remain out

The Big Boo (Boss) is also known as Atomic Boo. And he's a character compared to other Big Boo characters. In other languages, he even shares the same name.--Prince Ludwig 20:28, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Huh? Needs the translation template then, or we could merge with Big Boo.
 * If thats true we would need to merge this


 * That's a character, we can't merge a character.--Prince Ludwig 20:41, 18 September 2011 (EDT)
 * If it shares the same Japanese name as it's species it loses it's statues as a character and must be merged

He's also known as Boss Teresa, you know.--Prince Ludwig 20:41, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Two things statues(?) and let's merge.


 * That contradicts what you told me earlier you told me he was known as Atomic Teresa so which is it

Boss Teresa is King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine) Mario Bros.!


 * That's not my fault. The Big Boo is also known as Boss Teresa, I can't help it. Super Mario 64 even had that name for The Big Boo, and I didn't hear it again...maybe it was in Super Mario 64 DS, his lastest appearance. That's a possibility. And I haven't known a Big Boo with Boss Teresa as its japanese name. And talk about chronology, Mario Bros., Super Mario Sunshine takes place after Super Mario 64, even its remake. If that's Boss Teresa, then this King Boo is The Big Boo.--Prince Ludwig 20:51, 18 September 2011 (EDT)


 * OK...  You forgot the !

Ok two things one what game calls The Big Boo Boss Teresa because earlier you told me he was called Atomic Teresa and the second thing none of the things you say prove anything they do not prove that The Big Boo is the same Boo in every game


 * I was searching for his name while I was talking, and I closed the link after that since I found those. First, every japanese name we found are from this site. From New Super Mario Daijiten, from Wikipedia . There are alot more. Even the instruction manual or official site.--Prince Ludwig 21:12, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

Point? Mario Bros.!
 * That source proves my point The Big Boo is just a normal Big Boo in the Japanese version of this game therefore this article should be merged with the Big Boo artice as per the standards passed down through previous proposals


 * LET'S MERGE AGRESSIVELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * We still need a TPP proposal
 * So in 2 weeks there we go! Mario Bros.! 21:10, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

No idea if I understand any of the conversation above, but just for future references, the boss version of Big Boo is not listed in the Super Mario World ending; the English version refers to the regular non-transparent one as The Big "Boo", which is the one that is called Atomic Telesa in the Japanese version. The Big Boo boss is, to my knowledge, not named in the game.--vellidragon 21:11, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

So conjecture. Mario Bros.! 21:12, 18 September 2011 (EDT)


 * Not necessarily a conjecture; Super Mario World strategy guides may provide the boss with a name. I know for a fact that the German one does, at least (it calls him Buu Huu, while the regular enemy is Blue-Buu Huu).--vellidragon 21:15, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

And he could be in another game, there's lots of possibilities he could be his mansion's owner.--Prince Ludwig 21:14, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

 * And you needed to post that picture why
 * Because PL got it from wikipedia. Mario Bros.! 21:20, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

And not to mention, he is the same Boo who is always with his regular Boos, he's the kind of person who often do that, especially in Mario Pinball Land (his artwork too).--Prince Ludwig 21:20, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

This has been going on over an hour... Mario Bros.! 21:23, 18 September 2011 (EDT)

So, now that we find out the Big Boo characters are him since they have the same name as this Big Boo, you can let me do my things I wanted to do for Big Boo.--Prince Ludwig 12:04, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

No...

Listen correctly. The Big Boo's character is not about his species but rather about him. Boss characters who are known as Atomic Boo or Boss Teresa is The Big Boo (Boss). I have no intention to have infos about his species rather than the character himself.

The Big Boo is also the one who often has his Boo Buddies with him and he is the first leader of the Boos, before Bigger Boo or King Boo. One of the Big Boos from certain games like Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario Party or Yoshi Safari is unknown to be him.--Prince Ludwig 16:28, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
 * Why would boss characters known as Atomic Boo be The Big "Boo" boss when Atomic Telesa is, from what is seen in Super Mario World, the name of the regular enemy and not the boss?--vellidragon 16:37, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
 * There weren't a species called "Big Boo" but the "Big Blue Boo" since Super Mario World, and Super Mario 64 has only The Big Boo called Boss Teresa. Atomic Boo is the same as Atomic Telesa. See for yourself.--Prince Ludwig 17:15, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
 * I did "see for [myself]" and the Japanese ending of Super Mario World shows the non-transparent regular enemy with the name "Atomic Telesa" next to it (this "species" as you call it is called The Big "Boo" in the English ending, not Big Blue Boo). As Atomic Boo is the same as Atomic Telesa, like you say, that means it's the same as the regular enemy and not the boss.--vellidragon 17:55, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
 * I meant, the wiki. I don't know. But some says that the species in SMW is called Big Blue Boo. You can this, or this. The Manual refers The Big Boo as if he is the boss character. In Super Mario Advance 2, The Big Boo (boss) is shown to be white. And The Big Boo is also called Atomic Teresa and Boss Teresa (in Super Mario 64).--Prince Ludwig 19:50, 19 September 2011 (EDT)
 * It doesn't matter if the boss is called The Big "Boo" or who knows what else in English or what colour it is. All I'm saying is that the Japanese Super Mario World ending clearly shows the blue boo and calls it Atomic Telesa and does not show the boss. It may be that it's called Atomic Telesa elsewhere, but without an official source stating that it is, no decision should be based on the fact that it might be.--vellidragon 21:00, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

The Big Boo is actually a guy
The Big Boo is often refered to be a guy and is a guy. How would you expect that this is a girl or a thing? Even Robots are often refered to as "it" but changed to "he" and/or "she". I would quite surprise that the Boo Buddies are his children or that he is really a female.--Prince Ludwig 16:28, 19 September 2011 (EDT)


 * Where is it stated that Big Boo is male? If not stated officially, we are resorted to calling it an "it". Just because it doesn't have a big ribbon or pink body doesn't equate that it isn't a female. 20:02, 19 September 2011 (EDT)


 * Yeah, just because "this", doesn't "that". I've heard all these kinds of "reasons" very often. And nobody confirmed that Big Boo is an "it" neither. That's why we call a character a "he". Does he look like a thing or a female to you? Looks so male.--Prince Ludwig 20:11, 19 September 2011 (EDT)


 * No, I believe that we have to resort to "it". "It" is used as an indeterminate gender for nonhuman animals. You cannot tell apart a female Boo from a male Boo other than the clothing it may wear. In this case, it isn't wearing anything. 20:15, 19 September 2011 (EDT)


 * Yea'ight. You even call Mario or Luigi an "it" too. I can tell. Just by looking. You know he is called Il Re Boo (The King Boo) in italian? If Big Boo is female, he has to be Queen. In Super Mario Sunshine, The Big Boo became King.--Prince Ludwig 20:24, 19 September 2011 (EDT)


 * No, Mario and Luigi are male. There are many indicators to this (facial hair, voice, name) and all official sources say that they are male. Big Boo, on the other hand, doesn't show that it is a male or female, and it seems that Nintendo has never confirmed that it is a male. Can you tell me official proof that King Boo (a male because of "king") is Big Boo? 20:29, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

Il Re Boo (Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 boss). It's already written. The Super Mario 64's Big Boo is called Boss Teresa, which the King Boo from Super Mario Sunshine is also called Boss Teresa. Can that tell you that he's actually male?--Prince Ludwig 20:33, 19 September 2011 (EDT)


 * Okay, I know that King Anybody has to be a male, but you can't conclude that Boss Teresa in Super Mario 64 is the same as Boss Teresa in Super Mario Sunshine. It sounds stupid, but you're veering into speculation territory, which is something we don't often do in MarioWiki. I still need to know if Big Boo is referred anywhere else as a male, because we have other characters referred as a female in some places, but a male in others, if you know what I mean. :P 20:39, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

I don't. Now, you've find out that is the same Big Boo from Super Mario World to Super Mario 64/DS. And The Big Boo also has his Boo Buddies with him all the time and he's a boss and leader of the Boos. You can know if he's really male in Super Mario 64 too. Even The Big Boo is refered to as male.--Prince Ludwig 21:52, 19 September 2011 (EDT)

Title
This should be The Big Boo (boss) not The Big Boo (Boss) because Yoshi's Island (place) is not Yoshi's Island (Place)! Mario Bros.!


 * So? There is no difference after all.--Prince Ludwig 18:19, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

There's also Ghost (Wario Land II boss) and articles like Spike (enemy), which all have the part in brackets that's not a proper name in lower case. The term "boss" is also not usually capitalised anywhere else unless part of a name. I agree with moving this back to The Big Boo (boss); it was moved here without prior discussion or a good reason anyway.--vellidragon 18:26, 20 September 2011 (EDT)

I agree with Mario Bros.! and vellidragon - it should be moved to (boss), not (Boss), because every article with bracketed words like "series", "enemy", "game" etc. has their initials small, not capital. Since we can't move it back to The Big Boo (boss) because Nintendo64Fan altered the redirect by adding a deletion template on it, that redirect should be deleted so we can move the article back (so that deletion template was supposed to stay there). P.S. Prince Ludwig, just because you created the article, doesn't mean you're the "boss" of it and you want every content of it made your way. Yes, I saw your summaries on the history page.

And it's said it doesn't belong to me once. I only said it once that I made it and once that it's mine. And stop with "just because, doesn't mean" excuse. It's true I want every content of it my way, you saw me doing it? No. It was reverted. Since you came, I can't bring back the info that implies The Big Boo from Super Mario 64 and the rest, that's exactly what the content I want it to have. Yet, I can't do it yet. You've done what you want now, and you should be satisfied. As for the Boss, who cares? It's the same though, despite the B and b.--Prince Ludwig 11:44, 26 September 2011 (EDT)

We do...

Oh yeah. Anyone else than you, Mario Bros.! and Vellidragon?--Prince Ludwig 01:45, 27 September 2011 (EDT)
 * I agree with them
 * I agree with them as well: lowercase is used everywhere else, so for consistency, I'm moving the page. - 23:30, 29 September 2011 (EDT)

Affiliation
How on earth is this character affiliated with Yoshi's Island? ôô And how can anyone be affiliated with a type of building (Ghost House)? Shouldn't it at least mention the specific Ghost House where the character resides?--vellidragon 20:17, 21 September 2011 (EDT)

Don't know... Mario Bros.!

Recurring?
If I remember, the boss only appears in one level. Why is the boss "recurring", when it only appears in 3 games? RandomDSplayer 06:57, 7 January 2014 (EST)


 * I'd surmise that appearing in more than one game (remember, they're counting the e-reader level) is enough to fulfill the conditions for a recurring boss. Lord Grammaticus (talk) 08:41, 7 January 2014 (EST)
