:::::I'm not sure that necessarily changes anything. Using this, we could say that Yellow Toad and Blue Toad are both simply named Toad, with the colors being mentioned to differentiate themselves from each other, making the SM3DW Toad very possibly Blue Toad. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:46, 26 December 2018 (EST) | :::::I'm not sure that necessarily changes anything.

::::::What changes is our approach toward characters named Toad/Kinopio. The material from Nintendo suggests that we should give less weight to that name as we do now, as characters can be named ''Toad'' with that name just telling us the species they belong to - actually, they are now telling us that sometimes even the color is omitted and, as such, what would normally be called ''Blue Toad'' or ''Yellow Toad'' can sometimes be named just ''Toad''! However, as of now, we assume that all characters named just ''Toad'' are the same character, and we add a new entry in the main page every time this happens. I think we'd need a proposal to change that and that would be a true can of worms, as you can easily guess.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 13:00, 26 December 2018 (EST) | ::::::What changes is our approach toward characters named Toad/Kinopio.

Well, [https://www.kadokawa.co.jp/product/321808000468/ this rather recent book from Kadokawa and Gzbrain] effectively states that {{media link|MCDSZ Toad.png|the Toad in ''Super Mario 3D World'' is a ''blue'' Toad}}. Granted, it might just be that the author wants to point out the color of each character, as {{media link|MCDSZ SMW Yoshi.png|they also specified that Yoshi in ''Super Mario World'' is a ''green'' Yoshi}}, but this would effectively fit in what the Japanese Mii dialogue says about colored Toads being still named ''Toad'' at times, as well as what happened with Yellow Toad being often referred to as just ''Toad'' in the context of ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 22:30, April 1, 2020 (EDT) | |||
