:Lava Bubble had only been destroyable through Super Stars when Botsu appeared. Regardless, that doesn't change the fact that in the case of the bees, the former's boss-version sprite and the latter's artwork show significantly more difference than the small, non-detailed sprites, and the distinct lack of any other returning enemies makes this seem WAY too big of a "what if" for comfort.

While both of these enemies have different Japanese and English names, both look nearly the same, are in the same series, and act nearly the same, (not to mention bee's English name is generic). This just seems to be the same enemy being renamed and receiving slight tweaks to its design.

Support
- Doomhiker (talk) Per proposal.
- Ray Trace (talk) Per proposal.
- Koopa con Carne (talk) Per proposal. Beezleys and Wario Land II bees are identical in everything but name.
Oppose
- Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) Sure, and while we're at it, let's merge Bucket Head with Yukimaru, Watch with Bird, Cook with Doughnuteer, Ukiwani with Tobawani, Big Mouth with Utsuboankō, Bōtsu with Lava Bubble, Togemaru with Togemen, and Kobatto with Minicula! What I'm saying is there's a lot of "suspiciously similar substitution" in this series, and treating things as the same based on behavior and subjectively appearance alone (particularly when the only even remotely high-resolution version of the former looks significantly different) is ill-advised at best.
- Niiue (talk) Per Doc.
Comments
You're absolutely certain this isn't the same case as Goomba and Goombo?

- Yes. First, bee's English name is generic, which is not the case for Goombos. Second, Goombos' design are more different from Goombas than bees are different from Beezlies. Finally, Nintendo Power apparently refered to Goombos as relatives of Goombas. I don't know if this is the case for bees. Doomhiker (talk)
