Talk:Dorrie

Is Dorrie a specie? In the Mario Party mini-game, Tug-O-Dorrie, there are four multi-colored Dorries. Also in NSMB, it is unlikely that it is the same Dorrie from Hazy Maze Cave.


 * In MP, I think those are just Dorrie platforms. In NSMB, however, I think it could be different, as the Dorries from that game and SM64 look much different than in MPs.


 * Oh no, those Dorries from MP4 are real. The NSMB Dorries do look like their Super Mario DS cousin though. By the way, does anybody have official artwork for him?


 * There are two Dorries in NSMB. --NOT from a Yoshi Seriously, though.

Dorrie has official artwork? -- Sir Grodus

The Dorrie in SM64DS has the same look as the Dorries from NSMB. I'm pretty sure they're a species. - Yoshi Master

Well, I think Dorrie is a species. And if it is, we should probably remove it from the Characters page...

Dorries in Tug Of Dorrie were BALLOONS! Oh my God, they were STINKIN' SEE THROUGH! *calms down*

Ummm... no they weren't... 15:31, 22 June 2007 (EDT)

Um, yeah... Got a picture for proof? (The one on Dorrie's article is too small) -Dodoman


 * There's a larger version of the same image here. (I suppose that sorta makes 'em duplicates... I'll take care of that.)


 * Oh, thanks YellowYoshi. They don't look see-through to me. o_o

So, now we have to rewrite Dorrie's article? Fanfreakintastic. But with that, a suggestion? If Dorrie is indeed a species, we probably don't need to refer to every one as male just because it says so in MPAdvance. Teh Dodo

Is it possible for the Dorrie in Hazy Maze Cave to eat you? I swear that when I had Super Mario 64 I saw Dorrie eat Mario. Dorrie stuck his head down into the water towards Mario, and then Mario lost all his health and just... died. Has tha happened to anyone else here? Snack 11:57, 14 December 2007 (EST)

No... *runs upstairs and tries it*, I'll get back to you.


 * I couldn't get it to work. It's probably just a glitch. And in response to the Tug O' Dorrie pic, they do look rather balloonish. ~DarkZero [[Image:DarkZero Sig.gif]] 07:50, 25 June 2008 (EDT)

I think that happened to me before once tooPikmin theories (talk) 19:02, 5 June 2016 (EDT)

Character
Feels weird to suggest this, since I pushed for Dorrie to be a species, but is it possible that all the Dorries happen to be the same character? I just recently played MP5 and saw how balloonish they look.-- 20:31, 8 December 2009 (EST)
 * Well, in Mario Party Advance, Dorrie is simply called "Dorrie" instead of "the Dorrie" so you might be right.
 * I'd split it. The Dorrie with goggles is probably supposed to be the same character, while the ones from Mario Party are just of the same species. Redstar 20:39, 8 December 2009 (EST)

The Dorrie in Mario Party is based off of the Dorrie in SM64 though. And since the Dorrie with goggles appeared in SM64's remake, it is likely that they are all the being.-- 21:36, 8 December 2009 (EST)
 * While there isn't necessarily a canon to the Mario series, I'm wary of "counting" the sports and recreation games... But, since we do, Dorrie can't be all of the colors, so we should at least consider a general species. Redstar 21:46, 8 December 2009 (EST)

Aren't the multicolored Dorries in MP5 balloons?-- 22:25, 8 December 2009 (EST)

Gender
I thought Dorrie was female. The name is feminine and I thought a source (forgot it; maybe it was the player's guide?) referred to it as female. Oh, and I'm not talking about Mario Party GBA. 21:29, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
 * That's exactly what I thought too. If only we still had the Super Mario 64 game guide. 23:33, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
 * Well the game itself refers to Dorrie as he and the game usually takes precedent over game guides.

Dorries (species?)
There's multiple dorries, they're all on this page, so should we make all the dorries into their own page and this one separate, or make all the dorries this page collectively? Chat Man (talk) 14:58, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * I know there are multiple Dorries in Super Mario Odyssey, but do other games have multiple Dorries, too, like Mario Party? 15:00, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Tug-o-Dorrie has multiple Dorries at once (one to carry each player). 15:32, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Those aren't actual Dorries, though. You can see the joint connections. 15:36, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Oops, didn't see that. Looks like Super Mario Odyssey is the first time multiple Dories show up at the same time then. 15:43, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Multiple Dorries previously explicitly appeared in the main series right in New Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo DS, where there are different-sized ones you can ride. Mario Party Advance, however, does have a Dorrie as an NPC, but this was done to several others that are usually species. That one should have an article like those other Mario Party Advance characters; other appearances seem to be inconclusive and can easily be given the same treatment as the Unagi and Klepto articles, which also started off as one each in Super Mario 64. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:48, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Apparently, the blue one in Odyssey is referred to specifically as "Dorrie" while the other ones are "Dorries," ie as "a Dorrie." I think? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:37, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * I actually just now reached the Lake Kingdom, so I'll keep an eye for that if true. Didn't get the guide so I have no idea how it's referred to there. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:25, 28 October 2017 (EDT)

I say we remove any instances of other Dorries from this page, and make a separate page for the species as a whole. Chat Man (talk) 22:40, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * I also don't recall the NSMB ones being differently-sized from each other, but then again, their levels aren't back-to back.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:04, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Well, the Dorries in NSMB are different sizes. The first one being as tall as Mario, while the second twice as tall as Mario. 23:19, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * Does singular Dorrie have a definable personality? What exactly makes it more worthy than Unagi and Klepto of an entirely separate article? Not every creature by itself is a character; after all, according to Nintendo's current story, Yoshi isn't a character. I just don't think it's wise making more articles with an inevitable "possible appearances" section if it can be helped. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:25, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * It's more valid that every stinkin' MPA character getting their own page, I mean why do they get pages but not the two Goombas from the Mario anime? It's about as valid.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:34, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
 * It's because Hulu and Goombob and Coach and others all get articles. When all of them have just as much screen time, dialogue, and general interactivity, if not more, then a single name should not be the deciding factor (and they do have names, albeit generic ones). 23:38, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
