Same character?

Question.svg This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Is it really confirmed that the lighthouse keeper and DJ Toad are indeed the same characters? To me, it just looks like two characters with the exact same appearance, which isn't uncommon for Mario standards.

That's exactly what I thought. Just because they're both purple Toads with sunglasses, doesn't mean they are the same person. Lots of different Toads use same designs. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8
I'm not really buying it. If they were in the same game, it would seem a bit more likely that they're the same character fulfilling different roles in different places, but it seems likely they're separate characters and just have the same (very generic) design because the developers wanted a Toad with sunglasses, the lighthouse keeper from Color Splash coincidentally already had that design, and they decided to reuse that instead of making an entirely new design for what's essentially the same thing. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

The Sunset Express conductor, Mustard Café chef, and Tangerino Grill Chef all have their designs re-used as well. I did consider that this was a different character, but he's not really given a name either (and "DJ Toad" is also an implied character in Paper Mario, anyways).

Split Color Splash and Origami King characters

It is highly unlikely that these Toads are the same character just because of the same design. They appear in seperate games and have different roles, even different personalities, not to mention the game takes place in a completely different location. I get the feeling that one other reason they are merged is because they don't have official names. The Origami King characters should be moved into their own articles. And this proposal also applies to the other Color Splash/Origami King Toads who have pages merged.
