Talk:Bowser Statue

Should this article be moved to Gray Bowser Statue? Or are both spellings of gray/grey acceptable? -- Y ' o ' s ' h ' i ' 6 ' 2  6  03:24, 16 January 2007 (EST)


 * Both are correct, but Gray is more common. I will move the article. -- Son of Suns

Where did the name come from?

 * I think that the Minigame in DS says "Bowser Statue", but that's the only proof I can think of. - 05:15, 6 May 2014 (EDT)

Bowser statue is a better name
Shouldn't this be moved to "Bowser statue" due to the fact that that's an in-game name? Either way, the current name is a misnomer, as some of them, such as in the Mario Kart Wii remake of Bowser's Castle (N64), they are brown and not grey at all. For that matter, the giant Bowser statues fromMario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Wii could be potentially moved into the Bowser Monument page, due to having more similarities with it appearance- and size-wise, as well as being capable of movement.

 * I think the bigger issue is that every lump of rock that looks like Bowser is being covered in this article. The "Bowser statues" in Destruction Duet have no points in common with the Gray Bowser Statues in Super Mario Bros. 3, beyond how they both look like Bowser - except one is a sentient species and the other is an inanimate object. An entire clean-up of the article should be the first priority, in my opinion. 18:05, 19 September 2017 (EDT)

Split Bowser sculpture from this article
Yes, that obstacle in New Super Mario Bros. 2 that shoots out horizontally-moving fireballs. It can't technically be considered a statue since its upright mounting position is a wall, and besides, it looks and acts different from the Bowser "statues" that appear in other games. Time to split?

Support

 * 1) Per my proposal. (P.S. The name "Bowser sculpture" comes directly from the Prima guide)

It's a gargoyle head, which is indeed a subtype of statue. A bust is still a statue, remember. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:05, 3 February 2019 (EST)
