:::::::::::::They're still treated differently by SMG2's specific naming system.

::::::::::::::I kind of regret bringing up the large Boo from SMG because it seems to have derailed this discussion. To be clear about my stance on this, while I personally do not think the large Boo from SMG is or was intended to be the Big Boo enemy in the final release of the game, that in no way means it is invalid for others to think differently. (And this is regardless of what Nintendo themselves have published... {{wp|The Death of the Author|Death of the author}} and all that. The Boo from Deep Dark Galaxy ''is'' objectively bigger than the normal ones, after all.) Besides, this has nothing to do with the Mega Boo from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' - the actual subject of the proposal. The naming convention in Japan seems to quite deliberately indicate that this enemy is basically a "super-duper-sized" Boo and not a run-of-the-mill Big Boo, and this seems apparent in the sheer size of the enemy in-game. Without any additional details, that's good enough for me to think the distinction is valid. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 17:37, January 23, 2024 (EST) | ::::::::::::::I kind of regret bringing up the large Boo from SMG because it seems to have derailed this discussion.

::::::::::::::It's the same general naming system Mario series uses. Where Kyodai ovelaps with both Deka and Atomic. [[User:SmokedChili|SmokedChili]] ([[User talk:SmokedChili|talk]]) 14:00, January 24, 2024 (EST) | |||
