Talk:Little Mouser

Isn't the Little Mouser called a Squeek, instead of a Squeak? ...At least in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door they are. Should I change the name of the article? Jolene 09:38, 15 May 2007 (EDT)Jolene

Pallete Swap
About the Little Mousers from Yoshi's Island, does anyone know if this dark grey pallete is used anywhere in the game? http://www.spriters-resource.com/game_boy_advance/sma3/sheet/15617/

Merge with Mowz
The name "Little Mouser" from the Yoshi's Island strategy guide has been superceded by both Squeek and Mowz. Mowz is the latest name it goes by, but it already has its own article. They can easily become one, since Mowz's appearance is only a 3D representation of Mouser/Squeek. There's not much to suggest that Mowz is instead a sub-species, and being referenced singularly is not unusual since that is apparently often the case with other species characters in the scripts of the Mario Party games.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Yeah, I've brought this up on the Mowz talk page before. It's clearly just another name for the same species.
 * 3) Per all.
 * 4) Nintendo should choose one name for these things and keep it that way. At least WE could avoid confusion.

Comments

 * The remaining issue would be what to do with Little Skull Mouser - like the Para-Galoomba and Winged Galoomba pages, the article title could be changed to "Skull Mowz" with the conjecture tag, mentioning that the older name is outdated. LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:00, 7 January 2015 (EST)
 * We stick with the official name no matter what. Even if the current name is outdated, if the other name has not been updated, it stays.
 * It can be left alone since it's a unique enough name (unlike Galoomba, I guess), but I figured it could at least be addressed outside the main proposal. LinkTheLefty (talk) 22:41, 7 January 2015 (EST)

Actually, the name "Little Mouser" has been used most recently, in Yoshi's New Island. So that should probably be the name of the article. Aokage (talk) 10:08, 8 January 2015 (EST)
 * This still calls for a merge, but this could change it from Mowz to Little Mouser. Can you please point where exactly Little Mouser is used (keeping in mind that Mowz would still have priority if it's not in the game or manual)? LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:29, 8 January 2015 (EST)
 * It's on the official website: http://yoshisnewisland.nintendo.com/#/new-island/enemies/ I don't know if the name is mentioned in-game. Aokage (talk) 10:53, 8 January 2015 (EST)
 * I know it's not mentioned in the digital manual, and I don't recall any Message Blocks referring to them (correct me if I'm wrong), so unfortunately it looks like a lower-priority source. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:02, 8 January 2015 (EST)
 * Well, the situation isn't exactly cut-and-dried. We're talking about a name change here. "Mowz" only appears in a single game, so it could be considered a naming error. "Little Mouser" is the more consistent name, and has been used more recently (even if in a lower-priority source). Aokage (talk) 15:43, 8 January 2015 (EST)
