Is the name "Bombshell Bill Blaster" ever actually used, and not just implied? Not only do the games shorten it to "B. Bill Blaster" in battle, but the Tattles use the abbreviated form as well, unlike with enemies like Dark Koopatrol or Green Magikoopa. Niiue - Who has lost his tail? 18:08, March 15, 2020 (EDT)

I don't recall the full term being used. Some other games have used abbreviations, like the M. M-Spike Top. I'm not sure what to do with this name. Scrooge200 (talk) PMCS Mustard Cafe Sign.png 18:41, March 15, 2020 (EDT)
Personally, I'd argue for keeping it as-is, because the game makes it pretty clear that "B. Bill Blaster" is short for "Bombshell Bill Blaster", even if the latter term isn't explicitly used. Niiue - Who has lost his tail? 18:44, March 15, 2020 (EDT)
My thoughts are that the title should be the terminology explicitly used, while the writing within the article should use the full name. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:15, March 15, 2020 (EDT)
