In addition to abbreviations are '''alternate titles''', though this is more applicable to people, places and things, rather than games like ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''. In most cases, any official name Nintendo has provided should become a redirect, which is why "''Peach''", "''Princess Peach Toadstool''", "''Princess Toadstool''" and "''Toadstool''" all redirect to [[Princess Peach]] - they're all valid names.

However, it gets difficult when '''nicknames''' are involved. "''Weegie''" is a famous and widely-used nickname of [[Luigi]]'s and is therefore used as a redirect, but the vast majority of nicknames are obscure and used only once (such as "''M''" for Mario in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', or "''Butterball''" for [[Bowser]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'') and should not get redirects. As with the obscure abbreviations, readers should know better than to search for the characters using these names.
