I really do not think that this character needs to have a standalone page. Betty's only appearance in the entire Super Mario franchise is in a recreation of the arcade game she originates from, Sheriff, in the first WarioWare game. The closest equivalent I can think of to this situation is Balloon Fighter, but at least he has had many, many more appearances across the franchise, as a Mystery Mushroom costume, a Trophy, even outside of a microgame in WarioWare: D.I.Y..

With that said, though, this is also inconsistent with how we treated the titular playable character of Sheriff, who similarly appears in a brief cutscene at the beginning of the minigame. The way I see it, we can either delete this page or give Sheriff his own page for consistency.

Reinstate Sheriff

#FanOfRosalina2007 (talk) I think it makes the most sense to make an individual page for Sheriff. As Sheriff not only appears in the beginning of the Sheriff minigame but also cameos as an Assist Trophy in the Super Smash Bros. series, there's enough info about the character's appearances in Super Mario-related media to warrant his own page. (However, I also have concerns about deleting this page, see the comments section for my thoughts on that.)

Do both

1. FanOfRosalina2007 (talk) Actually, this makes more sense. I have the same reasons for making a page for Sheriff, and I'm fine with deleting Betty.

Comments

I have a concern about deleting the Betty page. On Pauline's page, there is a section that relates to Betty that also links to Betty's page. What would happen if we ended up deleting the page due to this proposal and made no further mention to Betty on the wiki? Would we have to do away with that particular trivia factoid? @DrippingYellow, because you are the one who made this proposal, I'd like to know your thoughts and your plan on this matter. I'm also open to anyone else's input; no offense meant to anyone who wants to clarify this for me. :) -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 19:22, February 27, 2024 (EST)

We could probably just remove the link on Betty's name. SolemnStormcloud (talk) 22:41, February 27, 2024 (EST)

Okay, makes sense to me. Actually, that's such an obvious solution; I should have thought of that! Thank you! -- FanOfRosalina2007 (talk · edits) 16:32, February 28, 2024 (EST)
