Talk:Mecha-Bowser

Not the Same
Mecha Bowser and Bowser??? are not the same. They are two different bosses, they are of different sizes, they are made of different material, they are from different games, they are driven by different enemies, and they certainly have very different attacks. They also do not have the same name, obviously. These should be separate. --King Piranha Plant 20:45, 4 February 2007 (EST)

Too Many Images
There are too many images on this article. Four images in such a small (when compared to other articles) article is very messy. I was going to remove one of them, but I believe I should get other Users thoughts first.


 * Yeah, there are two many; at least one of the Sunshine pics (I'd say the left one) should go in my opinion. We could arrange them into a Gallery to make it neater and avoid removing images, though, and I think I'll do that at least for the time being.
 * Meh... That's not the only problem. It's called to as a "he" like many other bosses and enemies... TG

Super Mario Galaxy Bosses
There is 4 reasons why I should believe he should be added to super mario galaxies boss template:

1. The music changes on his planet

2. His level is named after him

3. He is the last thing in his level

4. When ever you hurt him( make something fall off) a check point lift will appear. This is down twice, the next time you hurt him he dies. Ganondox

Yes but it dosen't fight Mario unlike the Mecha Bowser in Super Mario Sunshine.--Yoshidude99 06:02, 26 March 2011 (EDT)

Game Appearence Section
Is the game appearence section realy neccessary?I mean, we already have a history section for it so what is the point in a game appearence section?Should it be deleted? Plz respond-
 * That section is necessary because the information is organized by series.
 * Ok, thx for letting me know-

Split the SMG Mecha Bowser off of this article
The Super Mario Galaxy version of Mecha Bowser is so dissimilar to the actual Bowser mecha that debuted in Super Mario Sunshine that it honestly should just be split off. The only similarities the two have are that they are both robots and that they ALMOST have the same name (the SMG one isn't hyphenated). If it weren't for the name, they would be split already, since there is NO other connection between the two. Having them merged makes about as much sense as merging the two Mr. Es.

Support

 * 1) per proposal
 * 2) The Super Mario Sunshine variant is incredibly different from the SMG version. One actually looks like Bowser, the other looks like a robot - I'm not even fully sure why it's Mecha Bowser in the first place. Their differences in appearance, differences in the way you defeat them, differences in almost everything - they should definitely be split.
 * 3) per all. Also, neither Mecha-Bowser or Toy Time articles don't really explain everything. You can fall down if you stay on the arm to long. It happened to me.
 * 4) The Super Mario Galaxy Meacha-Bowser hardly resembled Bowser at all. It was a completely different robot so we should split them.
 * 5) Mecha-Bowser in Super Mario Sunshine looks like Bowser so, it has to split! Per all!
 * 6) Who even thought these were the same in the first place?
 * 7) Per all.

Oppose

 * 1) As of currently, I'd rather that this article make mention of the Mecha-Bowser esque planet. It's more akin to a planet and all planets, named or not, remain in their respective galaxy articles.
 * 2) It doesn't hurt to have it there. The wording could use better work to say that this is a resemblance or has similarities, not the real thing from Super Mario Sunshine in Toy Time Galaxy.

Comments
I personally don't think the Mecha-Bowser of Galaxy should even get an article. It's basically just a planet so the info should just be in the Toy Time Galaxy article.
 * I have to agree with Tails here. I think the article is better off as a planet section in the Toy Time Galaxy article. 17:31, 24 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I'd disagree: it has more in common with a boss than a planet. 19:45, 24 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I agree with and  more so than . That's kind of stretch or blurs the line there for a boss. -- 00:08, 26 July 2016 (EDT)
 * I need to clarify something: I'm not necessarily saying that SMG Mecha Bowser deserves its own article; that is of little concern to me ATM. I simply feel that its information shouldn't be on this article for the reasons I've already stated in the proposal. 05:46, 26 July 2016 (EDT)
 * You're calling for a split, but usually, when you want to split something off, unless stated otherwise, the thing you want to split off will get its own article. Would you want the SMG Mecha-Bowser get its own article, or merge it with Toy Time Galaxy's planet sections? That's where the TPP isn't clear about. 19:05, 26 July 2016 (EDT)
 * Well, it's too late for me to change the proposal, so if I wanted to fix it up, I would have to cancel it and start over. I wouldn't mind SMG Mecha Bowser having its own article, and it could always be merged into Toy Time Galaxy with another proposal (we could also do it the other way around, but again, I'd have to start this over). SMG Mecha Bowser isn't that much less of a boss than Megaleg is, really. 00:02, 27 July 2016 (EDT)

Can we even argue that it's not even "Mecha-Bowser", it's "Heavy-Metal Mecha Bowser"? 17:50, 25 July 2016 (EDT)

Split the SMG Mecha-Bowser off of this article Redux
Previous proposal by has some misinformation. The name of the Super Mario Galaxy boss is actually Mecha-Bowser, not "Mecha Bowser". This entire time, it seems the mission name Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser was misread as "Heavy-Metal Mecha Bowser" and no one appears to have proofread it. I have since merged the SMG Mecha-Bowser information with the actual Mecha-Bowser as a result.

However, it's come to my attention that the two Mecha-Bowsers are similar in name only. Just about everything else is different, from its design to its battle tactics. Should the Super Mario Galaxy-related info be moved to, or should the article remain how it is?

I'm honestly not sure how I want this to go, so I'm going to hold off on my own vote for now. 12:47, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Is it ok if I add another option to this proposal? It will contain my vote. 12:49, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Depends. What is it? 12:51, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * It is option 3 I gave you (only without the moving combat info from to the new article as it is already there), as this is my preferred option. 12:53, 1 May 2017 (EDT) Actually, more like correcting the info based on the other info.  12:57, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * So, you mean have the Super Mario Galaxy section's main article be the mission itself? Mecha-Bowser acts more of a boss, so I don't think so. Though the combat can be added to the new page, or expanded on the current one. 12:59, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * I have changed option 3 due to the removal of old option 2. Also, the combat is on the new page you created. 13:02, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * The combat section is kind of already on the Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser's layout, though. 13:04, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * That is what I said in the previous comment. 13:05, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Yeah, you expanded on your comment when I hit save <_<
 * I'm honestly not sure what it is you want. The combat section is already on the mission page, and there is already information on the boss in the planets section. I don't think a third option is necessary. 13:08, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Once and only once policy states that info should only be mentioned once. I just think that the info will be better suited just on Toy Time Galaxy page. 13:34, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Sure, but if the info is relevant to multiple pages, then I see no reason why the info can't be on multiple pages. 13:37, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
 * I see no reason why to keep it on this article (since this is SMS's Mecha-Bowser which is clearly different from each other). Neither do I see the proposed page being the spot for it because, either (A) It will be short or (B) it will have to bring over the other info moved to the new article. Both options don't please me. 13:45, 1 May 2017 (EDT)
