Talk:List of enemies

Hmmm... Since I gonna update this long list of wacky enemies for at least a week (AKA Spring Break); are the Wario Enemies and Yoshi Enemies are supposed to have their own list of enemies? Please respond...

I wouldn't think so.... Mada Mada Dane...


 * Throw me at least 3 reasons...

Yoshi enemies sometimes cross over, sometimes started in Mario, same goes for Wario.. Mada Mada Dane...


 * Hmm... That's true except for some of the Yoshi Enemies from Yoshi's Story (I guess...), well; I gotta work on it...

Actually, they should. Any overlapping enemies will be in both lists. -- Son of Suns


 * And Overlapping means Crossover that enemies go into Mario Games, right?

Yep.. Mada Mada Dane...


 * OK, then it's settled; Crossover enemies stay in the Mario Enemies while the other enemies go into their own categories as Mario enemies stay here...

Mhm.. Mada Mada Dane...


 * So... Wanna chat in the forums?

Invincible Enemies Category
Hello, I'm suggesting to add this category to the wiki, because people who wants to know which are the enemies that are invincible, right now needs to search manually, and not all people knows the name of said enemies. So, this category would improve the navigation of the wiki. Thank you.

Proposer: Deadline: "September 15, 2017, 23:59 GMT"

Support

 * 1) Per my proposal.
 * 2) - While there'd certainly need to be some disambiguation of how far the scope goes (always been invincible? invincible in some games but not others?), I can see this being a perfectly fine category.

Oppose

 * 1) Thing is, this would vary horrendously game-by-game, a particularly egregious example being Bill Blaster. Would we refer to consistently invincible enemies, or enemies that have ever been invincible?
 * 2) I don't see a point to this category. Especially when similar categories got deleted.
 * 3) In theory, it's a creative idea, but in practice, not so much. "Invincible" in this regard seems like fancruft at worst and pure inconsistency at best. First of all, some invincible "enemies" are technically obstacles, such as Skewers or Grinders. Second, enemies that are invincible in some games might not be so powerful in others. Lastly, it's incredibly hard to determine which enemies are hard to defeat and which ones are truly invincible. (Choppahs from Super Mario Galaxy 2 are a good example of this.)
 * 4) Per all.
 * 5) Per all.
 * 6) Per all.

Comments
@Doc von Schmeltwick: Well, I think in enemies that are invincible in all the games they appear to date, such as the Boohemoth. 13:59, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of the category, but wouldn't this fall under rule 15? 11:41, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

Which rule? I should read it. But I didn't find it. 14:27, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Rule 15: "Unless there is major disagreement about whether certain content should be included, there should not be proposals about creating, expanding, rewriting or otherwise fixing up pages." There could be some disagreement about this (Doc's opposing, and I'm not sure where I stand atm), so I think this is fine.
 * I do want some clarification: Would this category be used for enemies that have been invincible in at least one game, like the Bill Blaster, or enemies that have only ever been invincible, like Boohemoth? 14:57, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

@LED42 You should place a vote under Support, saying "Per proposal" or something. 15:00, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

@Alex95 As I said above, this category would be used for enemies that have been ever invincible; the Bill Blaster is no longer invincible at all. 16:10, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
 * There's a contradiction between "enemies that have been ever invincible" and "the Bill Blaster is no longer invincible". The first statement implies that the category is for enemies who have been invincible for at least one point, whereas the second statement implies that the category is for enemies who have always been invincible. Which is it? 17:19, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

I'll explain it better. Since New Super Mario Bros., the Bill Blaster was able to destroy. So it doesn't fit in this category. This category would be for enemies that are completely invincible and impossible to destroy. And those enemies need to be invincible in all the games they appear, so they can be put in this category. An example is the Boohemoth, it is invincible, right? You can be defeated by that enemy even under the effects of a Starman. So, enemies that can't be defeated in any way, except for the Goal Pole, fit in this category. 17:35, 1 September 2017 (EDT) 17:35, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

Sorry for the double signature. :P 17:35, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I think it would make more sense if the category covered enemies that were invincible in at least one game. Because in games like Super Mario Bros., the Bill Blaster IS invincible. 17:37, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

@Alex95 If you think it will be better, I agree. 18:02, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
