Talk:King Kaliente

What the...? King Magma Blooper--Caith Sith 15:25, 31 October 2007 (EDT) "His name was gotton from the official Prima strategy guide." Since when is Prima official? - 15:27, 31 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Sory, but Prima usually makes up their own names. This is not official.

But this article is a copy&paste of King Magma Blooper... "King Kaliente" can be a redirect, no the same article with another name...--Caith Sith 17:41, 31 October 2007 (EDT)

The Mission Name Was King Kaliente's Battle Fleet So His Name Is King Kaliente. Case Closed. P.S. You Also won the award for "Most Blind To The Obvious." - User: Thirsty for Power

Black King Kaliente
In Bowser Jr.'s Lava Reactor King Kaliente is black instead of orange:

Your point...? GreenBoo 02:16, 20 September 2008 (EDT)

Why?
Why isn't King Kaliente considered a Goomba if he's an Octogoomba? - Bill-tendo 23:48, 13 March 2012 (EDT)
 * Where are they called Octogoomba's
 * Octo-goomba, I guess? Or was it Octoombas? 23:53, 13 March 2012 (EDT)
 * I think it's Octoombas but I was asking whats the source that calls them Octoombas cause if they are octoombas than yes they should be put in the Goomba category as well

Kaliente's head resembles an Octoomba, but I don't know if that's enough to merit him as an Octoomba. 00:02, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
 * If it than he's one weird space Goomba...perhaps we should ask someone with the Prima guide
 * The Prima guide isn't exactly a reliable source. :P 00:18, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
 * I understand that but it's kind of the only official source unless there's a trading card for this guy...also you can't get it wrong when all the info is new
 * It's likely that he has a trading card, since he's one of the important bosses. Also, the category of Super Mario Galaxy trading cards includes him for some reason. 00:25, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
 * Well than we should ask someone with the trading cards if he's an octoomba (also fun fact the trading cards are what confirmed octoombas as goombas)

Just to confirm he has a trading card, here's the link to the picture. It's just a picture, though. 00:28, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
 * So we need to either get his trading card or the Prima guide
 * Okay, then. 00:30, 14 March 2012 (EDT)
 * prima calls it an octopus --ptr
 * Technically, Octoomba and Octogoomba are the same thing, and mostly, I call them Octogoombas. - Bill-tendo 20:37, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

Splitting the Kalientes?
I'm not quite sure what the point is. They're both named the same character, and it's heavily suggested that they are the same character just making a return. The black version doesn't exhibit any particularly new strategies or abilities in the boss fight. And, if this were to pass, what of other recurring boss characters, like Knot-Wing the Koopa and the other Woolly World bosses, or even mid-bosses like Jr. Troopa and all?

 * Look here for the arguments regarding it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:29, March 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think another proposal should be made. -- 10:36, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * And i supported the split. (And i agree that it made an inconsistency, now that it failed to get split). -- 11:35, May 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * I asked to Toadette the Achiever what to do with it now that the inconsistency has been caused, but did not get a response yet. I'm patient though. -- 11:31, June 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Personally, I do not support the split. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 11:45, June 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * They're the exact same character, so no. Just because they appear again with a different tactic doesn't mean they get split. Otherwise, we'd have two Petey Piranha articles. 11:49, June 12, 2019 (EDT)
