 @DrippingYellow I didn't say "precedent," I said "in the process" considering that while it isn't passed yet, it has overwhelming support. IMO it feels more like a halfhearted attempt to reconcile Boolossus with Big Boo that was went back on for LM remake and LM3 (and it still looks kinda off from normal Big Boos due to it and its smaller versions being lit in an odd unique way compared to everything else... even in the same room).

+:There is no "unique lighting" for the Big Boo. If you look closely, Luigi's skin turns green and such as well in the cutscene, and you can see red and blue highlights on both the Boos and Luigi. The Boos even appear a normal color when you've aimed your flashlight at them, so it's definitely the room that has weird lighting. Also, who is this singular Big Boo that Boolossus would have to be reconciled with? Big Boos aren't a recurring character or anything like that, they're just big... Boos, and they pretty much always appear as enemies. If this Big Boo wasn't named after Boolossus in the Japanese version, then we wouldn't be having this discussion at all regardless of their mechanical similarities.
+:(Also, about the crow proposal: it was completely tied for votes as of writing my vote, and still is as of this comment (4-to-4). I wouldn't call that overwhelming support, personally, though with how your Dino Piranha proposal took a while to get going, I guess there's always a chance...)

 It's strange how LM2's credits don't seem to mention any writers. Maybe the writing was just done by different people here and there... or maybe I'm missing something. Either way, there are Japanese-to-English translators credited, so it was probably written originally in Japanese? Or it was written in both languages simultaneously, most likely, given how different the scripts are. [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 17:40, January 11, 2024 (EST)
+:The credits actually list both an American localization as well as a "Japanese localization group" by [[Nintendo Software Technology Corporation]], whatever that's supposed to mean (is it a group that translates Japanese into English, or vice versa?), and there's also an "Asia Localization" section separate from the Korean and Chinese localizations. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think I've seen a "Japanese Localization group" in any other Mario game's credits. Not that it narrows down the options that much, just confirms what we already knew: that there was something funky going on with the localization.
