The three Electro-Koopa variants described in this article, I feel, are distinct enough to get their own pages. They certainly have fairly drastic different appearances and different behavior. Finally, they're not treated as interchangeable compared the different Koopa/Snifit/Shy Guy colors. Splitting this article will also be generally better for linking instead of just lumping all of them under piped links and vague "Electro-Koopa(s)".

Proposer: Bazooka Mario (talk)

Support

1. Bazooka Mario (talk)
2. Walkazo (talk) - This has bugged me forever for the reasons mentioned above, I just never bothered doing anything (besides complaining on the forum the other day, anyway, which inspired the proposal, so yay). The green one also has a different Japanese name, as extra incentive to split.
3. LudwigVon (talk) - Per Walkazo.
4. Warioad (talk) - Per all. This page looks like a catalog of electro-koopas in its current state.
5. Niiue (talk) Per all, especially considering how the green variant is one of a kind.
6. RandomYoshi (talk) – Per all.

When it comes to ascribing names to the species, are we just going with "Electro-Koopa (red/blue/green)"? The guides that I have (Nintendo Power and BradyGames) both refer to the blue variety as Electro-Koopas and don't have much else for the other ones (NP vaguely calls them turtles, BG calls them "Denki Nokonoko", which is just a romanisation of their Japanese name and is thus to be taken with a grain of salt). The game has vague "Look out for Electro-Koopas!" from a couple of NPC's, but that doesn't provide anything for the green guy. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

I think going with (red/blue/green) modifiers is the ideal route to go although I don't know if that really violates policy or not. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 22:41, 26 October 2015 (EDT)

Colours will work fine: simple and straightforward. There's already a precedent for it too, thanks to Chap (blue) and Chap (green) from SPM. - Walkazo 22:48, 26 October 2015 (EDT)

Slightly off topic here: while I agree with this proposal, it reminds me of a proposal I made a while back on splitting Green and Red Koopa Troopas (which, if anyone recalls, was so unpopular that people actually accused me of making a prank proposal). So why is this very similar proposal suceeding? The same reasoning could be given to both Electro-Koopas and Koopa Troopas: different look and different characteristics. I'm probably missing something obvious here, so someone please enlighten me. --Andymii (talk) 00:52, 31 October 2015 (EDT)
