Talk:Dash Mushroom

Merge Mario Kart and Mario & Sonic appearances of Mushroom here
"Dash Mushroom" and "Dash Kinoko" is a more recent name for the MK mushy, which is also used in later MP games and the M&S games. Since it seems this is a divergently evolved item now, those should be merged here on the same principle as Golden Mushroom and Golden Dash Mushroom.

Merge Mario Kart and Mario & Sonic Mushrooms here: proposal edition
So I tried making a discussion for this, it got no attention and a different proposal started in the interim, preempting it. Now that that's over, I'll go ahead and make a proposal here. All the points are above. This is a case of divergent evolution. All instances of "Dash Mushroom" outside these games (such as Smash cameos) are also going to be merged, in case that wasn't obvious.

Proposer: Deadline: August 21, 2021, 23:59 GMT

Support

 * 1) Let's do this
 * 2) This is one the few things on the Mushroom page that I don't think should be merged to Super Mushroom, since its name and effect are much more different. We already split the Mario Party depiction of this item seemingly for the same reason, so it only makes sense to split its other appearances as well.
 * 3) Per proposal.
 * 4) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) Nothing called a "Dash Mushroom" has ever appeared in any Mario Kart or Mario & Sonic game. This proposal makes no sense whatsoever.

Comments
In Super Smash Bros. 4 the Dash Mushroom appears as a piece of equipment. I'm assuming this will also be covered on the Dash Mushroom page, but just in case, will it? Also, would this mean Triple Mushrooms would get moved to 'Triple Dash Mushrooms'? 06:05, August 7, 2021 (EDT)
 * Yes on first, maybe on second. There aren't exactly a lot of other "triple mushrooms," and unlike standard Dash Mushrooms the name has so far been Commonwealth English-only. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:26, August 7, 2021 (EDT)
 * The Dash Mushroom has an upgraded variant called the "Double Dash" mushroom; it's absolutely based on Mario Kart and should be included. 13:32, August 7, 2021 (EDT)
 * What game? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:25, August 7, 2021 (EDT)
 * Smash 4. 10:39, August 9, 2021 (EDT)
 * As far as I can tell, Triple Mushrooms have only appeared in the Mario Kart games, so I think it'd be inconsistent to call the single mushrooms Dash Mushrooms but not the triple mushrooms. 15:04, August 7, 2021 (EDT)
