Talk:Fat Guy

Um how does the Fat Guy attacks? What he does to attack??-Club Penguin-
 * He runs into you like normal Shy Guys.

Dizzy
When Yoshi walks while holding a giant egg, he seems to be dizzy. Is that true?-- 13:03, 8 August 2013 (EDT)

King Debuho
I'm not too sure how to proceed there, wether they should be split or not. -- 03:24, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * They should be split imo.
 * I disagree, this seems like splitting hairs over enemy size. If smaller Fat Guys showed up in Topsy Turvy, I'd be all for the split, but these two seem to be the exact same thing aside from the Japanese name. -- 12:39, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, that's like splitting "Dai Packun Flower", or "Kyodai Packun Flower" from "Deka Packun Flower". Regarding the "Kyodai" enemies, until we have more proofs on that, they should stay merged. -- 12:42, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Actually, no, it's not extraneous at all. Not splitting "King Fat Guy" to me sounds like not splitting "Dark Dark Boo" from "Dark Boo," or ""Hefty Goomba" (Kodeka Kuribo) from "Big Goomba" (Deka Kuribo). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:47, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's a complicated situation. -- 11:13, June 24, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'm with Doc. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:35, July 1, 2019 (EDT)
 * Does it has any differences besides its size? -- 06:26, July 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * Looking at the article, they don't seem to have any behavioral differences besides their size. 15:08, July 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * You can make a proposal, but don't expect me to support by any means. -- 12:07, July 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * They look the same and act the same. If a proposal was made to split it, I'd oppose too. 12:17, July 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Not splitting this page sounds like not splitting the Super Mario Bros. 3 iteration of the Sledge Bro, but splitting it sounds like splitting the Super Mario Bros. 3 iteration of the Sledge Bro for me. The size and/or Japanese name difference is aethistic. -- 12:23, July 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Out of curiosity, what does the Japanese description says? -- 14:08, July 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * How is it aesthetic or comparable to Sledge Bro? Its Japanese name refers to it specifically as a variation of the other. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:07, July 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Because there are no behavioral differences whatsoever. -- 03:38, July 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Hate to ad hominem here, but I find it hilarious how you're wanting to cut up the Bull's-Eye Bill page when many examples on it also lack behavioral differences, yet want to keep these merged. Anyways, Kritter, Klomp, and Kobble all have the same behavior and basic design, should they be merged? And in this case, King Debuho seems to be 1.5 times bigger than Fat Guy normally is, and has different body mass distribution in its sprite. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:59, July 6, 2019 (EDT)

"Big Guy"
I don't know the context of this, was this an in-game name, or was it a verbally-stated name that amounts to Treehouse being dumb? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:00, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * If the game still uses "Fat Guy", then it's probably just a generic descriptor. But if the "Scrapbook" option i saw in walkthroughs is much like Scrapbook Theater, we'd see if they still use "Big Guy" or not. The page itself should turn into a redirect, given that there was a separate page conjecturally named "Big Guy" before it was turned into a redirect and uses "Big Guy", that would mean that it is the actual name. -- 04:18, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * What I was asking is what the Treehouse event did, not what we'd do in various cases, I already know that. x_X Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:30, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
 * If Big Guy isn't in-game (and it at least wouldn't appear to be in the game's Scrapbook), then it should be noted that Fat Guy wasn't an in-game name either, and the Treehouse event is also our source for several other Shy Guy variants. We could treat this as we do the Switch Panel case in the meantime. I have the feeling it was an intentional rename. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:50, April 8, 2019 (EDT)
 * Regarding the other Shy Guys, here they sounded like an actual name, unlike being a generic descriptor like this one. That says, i saw Boomaster74 removing the "Big Guy" displaying title of Fat Guy in the Yoshi's Crafted World page. -- 10:27, April 22, 2019 (EDT)

I added a time signature in that YouTube link so that you can hear the first instance of "Big Guy" used in the Treehouse gameplay. They are then consistently referred to as Big Guys throughout the video. 09:09, July 4, 2019 (EDT)
