Talk:Black Chest Demon

Name
I personally do not think these creatures are "demons", but are more of ghosts, or monsters. They lack the typical features of a "demon", as they are simply a face.

But they are officially called demons in those stories told by that mouse who hangs out near Bobbery's roof. 13:25, 7 January 2008 (EST)

Should this article be moved to Black Chest Demon? -- 19:42, 14 January 2007 (EST)
 * I thought so, too. HOWEVER!, I realized that these are exceptional creatures and they are not a species, but multiple specie. If this should be moved to anything it should be Four Heros.

Yes, I agree with parayoshi, this should be moved to nothing...execpt the Four Heroes.


 * This page was moved to Black Chest Demon over two months ago. -- 20:37, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

I think a separate article should be created for the Four Heroes. 20:56, 20 March 2007 (EDT)


 * Our maybe one for each hero. Maybe? --YellowYoshi398 16:11, 3 April 2007 (EDT)

Sounds good to me. They are more important than the characters Luigi encountered, that's for sure. 13:23, 7 January 2008 (EST)

The chests in Rogueport and Hooktail Castle
How do you know which of the legendary heroes is in which chest? Grifty talks about the Goomba hollowing out the Great Tree, and tells of the Toad giving the star to the healer, but doesn't say where. So both of these boxes could hold either one of those two heroes! Unless I missed something... Avengah 14:00, 24 February 2008 (EST)


 * OK, according to a GameFAQs topic, this article is incorrect. The Wise Goomba who hollowed out the Great Tree was in the chest in Rogueport Sewers, and the Toad hero collapsed in Petal Meadows, which means his chest is in Hooktail Castle. I'll just change the article - if anyone has any proof the other way, then feel free to change it back (but please post the proof). Avengah 05:45, 1 March 2008 (EST)

Name
So, any evidence of this name? At all?

Split-off articles
Very tempted to put "not about the name". I noticed Tube Mode lacks its own article and redirects here, where the others have their own pages - and neither it nor the Paper Mode are listed on the templates. I'm about to do some serious dozing potentially, but thought I'd raise the question before then. -- 15:28, July 1, 2021 (EDT)

Name
No proper name for. The Nintendo Power Player's Guide just uses the pronoun it or a nondescript thing in all four instances where a new curse is granted, but it is already an article as well as thing. On page 33, it says Like a demonic , which I find rather hilarious. -- 16:31, December 17, 2021 (EST)
 * I'd say rename the article "four heroes" since that's what the game calls them. While that term refers more to what they were than what they are during the events of the game, but it's the most official term we have, and a slight rewriting of the article can compensate for that. 20:15, December 17, 2021 (EST)
 * Honestly, I still don't think that's very fitting or accurate for this article. 20:36, December 17, 2021 (EST)
 * Does anyone have a better idea, then? I don't like the current title since the term "demon" is inaccurate - they're not demons, they're ancient heroes who have been cursed by a demon. At the very least, the title needs to be lowercase to abide by our policy on conjectural names. An alternate solution is to simply merge the black chest phantoms to the black chest article, since the two essentially go hand-in-hand - you never encounter one without the other - while moving the four heroes content to the list of implied characters. 21:18, December 17, 2021 (EST)
 * I guess my find in the guide doesn't legitimize to some degree the usage of the word "demon" as a title name? /s
 * More serious note, I've had this game since around 2005-ish and I never once looked into talking to Grifty on the roof of east Rogueport. I learned that a Toad, Goomba, Koopa, and Boo suffered a grim fate and turned into what we know now as that grinning face.
 * I wouldn't mind merging with black chest and separate the modes into four distinct articles. -- 23:52, December 18, 2021 (EST)
 * The modes already have articles. (Well, Tube Mode didn't at the time of your post, but it does now.) 19:21, December 19, 2021 (EST)
 * Now that all of the curses are split, I would be okay with the merge suggested as well. 19:46, December 19, 2021 (EST)

Richard Simmons Mentioned in Nintendo Power Guide
, any reason you want to omit the Richard Simmons trivia piece? Am I missing a bit of policy? The information is from an official source, which is why I included it. -- 11:44, December 20, 2021 (EST)
