So, I know this page got split from [[Mechakoopa]] a while back, but I was digging around some Japanese sources and saw that the Japanese name, "Mini Mechakoopa", was used to refer to the normal Mechakoopas in Mario Party 7, at least on [https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ngc/gp7j/03h1.html this page]. Does anyone know if there are any other examples of this name being used for normal Mechakoopas?

:So, I'm not sure how this got overlooked for so long, but I just want to say it definitely warrants further investigation. My impression was that "Micro" Mecha-Bowser was in relation to the Toy Time Galaxy robot, but I may have to rethink that notion.

== Re-merge to [[Mechakoopa]] ==
{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|passed|4-0|Merge}}
So, as mentioned above, turns out the "unique" JP name for these fire-breathing clockwork frog things is actually an alternate name for Mechakoopas themselves, likely created to distinguish from ''Sunshine''{{'}}s [[Mecha-Bowser]] (at least until NSMBW clean-swept the name back, with SMG2's usage just being an artifact). Anyways, this should be merged back to Mechakoopa since this is just a wacko depiction of them, but following the merge I will most likely be moving forward on proposing on how to deal with the various giant Mecha-Bowsers.

====Support====
#{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} - Per
#{{User|LinkTheLefty}} - Per above and my take [[Talk:Mecha-Bowser#Regarding the above proposal|here]], I no longer stand by my [[Talk:Mechakoopa#Split Micro Mecha-Bowser from Mechakoopa|previous]] proposal and now believe that ''[[User talk:Mister Wu/30th Anniversary Books Related Questions/Archive 1#Super Mario Pia|Pia]]'' was right about this one, as several "exclusive" traits such as fire breath can also be seen in spinoff appearances.
#{{User|Archivist Toadette}} Per my previous argument. It's clear that these are just a shoddy redesign of Mechakoopas.
#{{User|Tails777}} Per all.

====Comments====
Super Mario Galaxy generally has weird enemy inconsistencies, though, such as the Tweesters, Rocky Wrenches, and Swoops all having separate articles from their regular counterparts, but this enemy has a different name from Mecha Koopa as well. What makes this enemy difference from them and more similar to the likes of the Torpedo Ted? {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 00:14, April 23, 2022 (EDT)
:Mario Party 7 uses the same JP name for Mechakoopa. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:23, April 23, 2022 (EDT)
