Talk:Bubba

I'm pretty sure the "Bubbas" in Super Mario Sunshine aren't the same type of fish as these guys. Xanofar 14:21, 5 January 2009 (EST)


 * Designs for enemies change from game to game, but we should try to find some proof the Super Mario Sunshine "Bubbas" are indeed named Bubba. --


 * They are Cheep-cheeps, as that's what they're called by the NA and Japanese guides.--Vommack 21:27, 2 June 2012 (EDT)

Why are we calling the replacements for Bubba in Super Mario 64 DS Big Bertha? I think it's supposed to be Boss Bass. They look identical and Big Bertha doesn't swallow Mario, but Boss Bass does.
 * They do behave much more like a Boss Bass then a Big Bertha. Can someone check their name...?--Vommack 21:24, 2 June 2012 (EDT)

Mario Party
As seen in a Japanese Mario Party gameplay video, the name for a generic Cheep Cheep is used rather than Bubba. This explains why the "Bubba" of that game looks so different, and has a similar model as the overgrown Cheep Cheep from Mario Party 3 and the smaller "Bub" from Super Mario 64. Should the Mario Party appearance be considered mistaken identity and instead be placed in the Cheep Cheep article? LinkTheLefty (talk) 20:40, 11 April 2015 (EDT)

Move Super Mario 64 DS Boss Bass info over to Bubba or Merge
We currently list the Super Mario 64 Bubba as having been replaced by the Super Mario 64 DS Boss Bass. Judging from the confusion, I think the giant fish in Super Mario 64 DS should be considered, at minimum, a redesign in Super Mario 64 DS. We don't have a solid source stating that the enemy was changed, or which enemy it was changed to (the article even notes that the appearance of the fish in Super Mario 64 DS looks like a Cheep Chomp model in New Super Mario Bros.) Going a step further - we have Bubba and Boss Bass basically deemed under the same Japanese names (albeit the latter was renamed), so a full merge between these two would essentially be analogous to the merge between Bub and Cheep Cheep.

Merge them entirely

 * 1) My position from the previous proposals has changed a bit, but I still think merging these two would be the optimal solution.
 * 2) Per LinkTheLefty.
 * 3) Per all.
 * 4) That is a merge so, per all three!

Comments
To be clear, Bubba would be merged into Boss Bass, correct? Seeing as it's the more recent name and is more recurring than Bubba, it's pretty obvious contextually that it'll go that way, but as the proposal doesn't currently say that specifically, I feel it's best to be safe than sorry (and also ensure a nice, straightforward record to look back on). - 00:11, 23 April 2015 (EDT)
 * Yep. Just so everyone's on the same page, it was last named in Super Paper Mario, so preference would go to that. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:50, 25 April 2015 (EDT)
