Split

Why are two completely separate blimps merged onto the same article? There's no reason for it, as far as I can tell; they should be split. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 20:42, 6 October 2016 (EDT)

Yes, they seem to be two different things, I see no reason why they shouldn't be split. A general "blimp" article also isn't needed since there's really only two of them in the Mario series (not counting the background blimps in some Mario spin-offs, which aren't that significant).

In its current state, it appears it should be split. This article isn't complete, however, since it doesn't mention at least the blimp in Luigi Circuit (GBA) / Sky Garden or the blimp in the beginning of Mario Tennis. Since we do have an article on another generic flying thing, Hot Air Balloon, we can probably have an article on blimps provided we find enough appearances for them AND if they serve notable gameplay purposes, though the ones I mentioned are just background scenery.

Gonna bump this 7-year-old discussion that still hasn't been resolved. The way I see it, these are the named-and/or-recurring specific blimps that can be split:

1. Luigi blimp: Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart DS
2. Cheep Blimp: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Mario Kart Wii (arguably)
3. Whale Shark: Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (this one's relevance is itself debatable, as it's a cameo from a third-party game)
4. Zeeppelin: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (does this one have a funny name in Japanese too?)
