Merging this article
After observing the edit history of the Game Guy's Sweet Surprise article, I found that Somethingone had mentioned the Spike Koopa article as a separate article for a character that only appears in a single minigame. After thinking about this, I now believe that the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp do indeed warrant their own character article; it wouldn't be redundant because the more detailed mechanics of Game Guy's Sweet Surprise are explained in the minigame's own article. However, should the quotes and the gallery from the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp article also be displayed in the Game Guy's Sweet Surprise article? The quotes technically also qualify as in-game text, and the icons of the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp appear in the minigame itself. --ThePowerPlayer (talk) 20:56, August 9, 2022 (EDT)
 * According to LoO, it's a generic normal Chain Chomp and a generic Chomp Shark; I feel it'd be better to perhaps splitmerge to those articles. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:57, August 10, 2022 (EDT)
 * Forgive my inexperience, but what does "LoO" stand for? If we were to merge this article with one or more of the articles about Chain Chomps (so as not to reiterate the Quotes and Gallery sections verbatim), even though the Japanese name for the Big Chomp (Biggu Wanwan) matches the name of the Chomp Shark, it fits the description of a Big Chain Chomp much better than a Chomp Shark; it's simply a large Chain Chomp attached to a chain and post, rather than a gigantic Chain Chomp without a chain. The Little Chomp does fit the description of a regular Chain Chomp, though. --ThePowerPlayer (talk) 10:16, August 10, 2022 (EDT)
 * "Language of origin." I prefer to separate Yoshi-debuting "Biggu" enemies from the standard large fare since, for instance, Kyodai/Dai/Deka Pakkun and Biggu Pakkun are officially treated as distinct. The fact that "Biggu Wanwan" was kept for YNI despite contemporary games using "Deka Wanwan" leads me to believe they are still considered distinct ("Biggu" seems reserved for really big things here). A full merge is still an option, though. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:34, August 10, 2022 (EDT)
 * While the trend of "Biggu" being reserved for enormous enemies such as Biggu Wanwan and Biggu Pakkun does point to those enemies being distinct, it's also more evidence that the Big Chomp, while sharing the same Japanese name as Chomp Sharks, is more closely related to either a Big Chain Chomp or a regular Chain Chomp: the Big Chomp is not enormous, it's only a little larger than the Little Chomp, and in fact barely any larger than Game Guy. Additionally, both the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp are already described in the Chain Chomp article. Therefore, my suggestion would be that the summary of the Big Chomp and the Little Chomp article should be moved to the Mario Party 3 section of the Chain Chomp article (with a sentence or two describing how the Big Chomp's name is the same name used for Chomp Sharks), and the Quotes and Gallery sections should be moved to the Game Guy's Sweet Surprise article (the quotes can also be listed under List of Mario Party 3 quotes, and the gallery images can also appear in Gallery:Chain Chomp and Gallery: Mario Party 3. --ThePowerPlayer (talk) 21:52, August 10, 2022 (EDT)
