Talk:Big Mr. I.

RAP 01:49, 12 February 2007 (EST) This is werid...

Ryan repiles: Hmm... theres two articles, Big Mr. I and Mr. I; should we merge them together or remain as saparate?
 * There's enough distinction between the two to let them remain separate. 02:10, 12 February 2007 (EST)

Mario Party 8
Mr. I comes in -four- different sizes in Eyebrawl (the smaller ones at the end of the minigame being smaller than the starting size), and the Mario Party 8 Prima guide indicates that it's the same one that keeps changing "form" (ie. enlarging). Doesn't it seem speculative to call the largest/larger sizes an appearance of Big Mr. I? This would mean that the other sizes are unaccounted for. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:54, September 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * Mario Party minigames generally tend to be creative in this type of interpretation of characters and I think the big Mr. Is in the minigame are just Mr. Is, but big. Even the minigame description for Eyebrawl just describes it as simply a "Mr. I" rather than a Big Mr. I. Also, btw, in Eye Sore, the Mr. I described in the minigame is labeled as a "Big Mr. I" but Big Mr. I doesn't even mention that. 19:00, September 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * That was determined to be a mistranslation. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:18, September 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * Yep; this was discussed a mere few hours ago right here, and the info on Big Mr I's page was promptly moved to the regular Mr I page. Arend (talk) 19:21, September 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * Question is, should this mistranslation count as an official parsing of the name or not? 19:40, September 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * Probably not, considering it hasn't appeared in a newer game with the revised parsing, especially if we're no longer counting Mario Party 8. LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:20, September 6, 2022 (EDT)
 * Honestly, given the fact that the alleged Lang-of-Orig "name" is a mission title's generic description that looks nothing like the same language's name for Mr. I and Portal/Encyclopedia doesn't even mention it, it's probably entirely the same entity in Japanese.

 * I thought that since Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. states「大きなタイプも. 」(Also has a large type.) under the「アイクン」profile on page 85, but the Super Mario 64/DS Shogakukan guides refer to it as「おおめだま」anyway, at least in the parts describing the mission.
