Talk:Giant Bowser

Is this article's title conjectural? I know the SSBM deal makes it at least part conjecture...

Did you say "Part Conjecture"? I  am   Confused  22:19, 9 April 2007 (EDT)


 * You know, half conjecture; half not. There's a whole template for that.

Um... Merge with Bowser???

I definitly say merge...... - Ultimatetoad

Yeah, merging it with Bowser would make a lot of sense. Keep the screenshot though :P -

If it's a conjectural form, then it should be merged. 15:16, 26 July 2007 (EDT)


 * I'd have to disagee with the merge. Hope I'm not becoming A Link to the Past. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif

I'd say merge. But then again, we do have Giant Baby Bowser. 17:20, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

I request a merge with Bowser!

My opinion here is the same as in the Giant DK article. Besides, Giant Bowser is a boss in Melee and in New Super Mario Bros. So we should keep it. And I'm not saying this just because I wrote this article. --Xeze 07:19, 6 February 2008 (EST)

I'd say merge. Maybe a proposal is in order?
 * That name isn't even official. - 16:26, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

Merge Giant Bowser to Bowser
I really don't see any reason to separate Giant Bowser from Bowser, since the two are clearly one and the same.

Support

 * 1) - Per my proposal.
 * 2) I am Zero! Regular and Giant Bowser are the same person. There are no difference except with size; even at that point, Mario can still beat him. And plus the title "Giant Bowser" vaguely fits for several size versions of Bowser throughout the games. Zero signing out.
 * 3) Per discussion, all, and proposal. The name is not even official.
 * 4) - Per proposal; per the precedent set on Talk:Giant Kirby. This isn't a separate entity, and it's not really an official power-up either: Bowser's always using different things to grow (meat, a minigame in his Rump Command, offscreen magic...), and his "giant" size varies drastically (i.e. in NSMB he's barely any bigger than he is normally). Growing huge is pretty much a standard ability of his by this point: it'd be better to give a succinct overview there, rather than keep this mass of unrelated "giant" situations. The fact that "Giant Bowser" appears more than the SSB-only Giant forms is irrelevant, as is the part about plot significance: the Bowser page and the game pages themselves can describe what happens perfectly fine without a corresponding sectionstub here to link to.
 * 5) In some games, we don't even know if Bowser is Giant Bowser or if it is just size inconsistency. Per all.
 * 6) Per all.
 * 7) - Per Walkazo. It keeps consistency. Plus, as far as I know, it's not exactly official.
 * 8) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) They are different so this should stay.
 * 2) Per Yoshidude99.
 * 3) Stay! Per both!
 * 4) Per all. Giant Bowser has more appearences than Giant Donkey Kong and Giant Kirby.
 * 5) Per Tails777.
 * 6) Giant Kirby and Giant DK are just bigger forms of their respective characters, this, however, has a bigger impact on the storyline and appears in many games.
 * 7) If it appears in multiple games and affects the storyline of the game (similar to what Bowser's luma said), then it should be a separate article.
 * 8) Per BL.
 * 9) - Mario gets big by eating Mushroom = Super Mario. Bowser gets big by eating Meat = Delete? No thx, my math skills refuse to allow me to support this equation (or proposal).
 * 10) Lets merge all of Marios forms into Mario?
 * 11) This isn't like Giant DK and Giant Kirby, Giant Bowser is a tad more prominent (<-understatement).
 * 12) per Pokemon trainer mario

Comments
I should probably state that I'm not talking about Giga Bowser (who is obviously a separate entity). I only did up this proposal, because a similar one was done for Giant Kirby (which passed), along with Giant Donkey Kong (which seems likely to pass). I would think the same reactions would be applied to Giant Bowser too. 09:54, 20 March 2011 (EDT)
 * That sounds reasonable. I should agree with you on this. I think you're right, we do need to merge this.
 * We have the different articles for the different forms for Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Wario. You realize that, right?
 * I am Zero! Like what for each one? Zero signing out.
 * We have Yoshi's forms from Mario Galaxy 2, we have pages for Tiny Wario, Wario-Man and all the forms from the Wario-Land series and we have pages for every single Mario form ever.
 * Shouldn't this at least be merged with Bowser?
 * That is exactly what this is proposing.
 * Orly? I thought the article was going to be deleted. I fail.
 * No you don't, it's just a simple misunderstanding.

I am Zero! I think Yoshidude99's oppose is invalid, and thus the next two opposers, since he doesn't really explain. Zero signing out.
 * Zero777: I think he means that Giant Bowser appears more than Giant DK and Giant Kirby.
 * I am Zero! He didn't explain anything at all, he just say that he thinks they should be separate without an explanation, so his vote, and the following two voters, is invalid. Zero signing out.
 * @Kaptain, that was I,, who talked about prominence. Not Yoshidude.

If anyone can prove that the name is completely official anywhere within the main Mario series (a.k.a. not SSB), I will gladly change my vote. -

I am Zero! GUYS THIS IS GIANT BOWSER, NOT GIGA BOWSER!!!! Zero signing out.

Well we have a full list of his moves in Melee and he appears in other games too. Thers my explanation Zero777. --Yoshidude99 03:55, 23 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Zero777: We are just calling it Giga Bowser because we are used to the name and please don't shout at us like that. Also he kinda is related to Giga Bowser. It is probably a nickname.
 * I am Zero! Yoshidude99, your argument is either unrelated or doesn't make sense and Kaptain K. Rool you can't shout in the internet, your argument is nothing more then fanism. Both of your arguments are invalid. Zero signing out.

@Pokemon Trainer Mario: I think your vote is invalid, the difference with it is that Mario's forms are official forms, while Giant Bowser's is not official.
 * Invalid =/= Illogical, his vote is valid as he has never said that Bowser's form was official. P.S. you missed your "I am Zero!"

@Opposers: How is this proposal different from Giant DK or Giant Yoshi or Giant Kirby?
