Talk:Ghost Guy

I think this should be merged with Shy Guy. The enemies are never given a specific name, they are always called Shy Guy's. - Ultimatetoad

We could, and note in the Luigi's Mansion section of the Shy Guy article that these are ghost Shy Guys. -- Son of Suns

sooooooo...delete? - Ultimatetoad

You'd be smart to have it redirect.Saudy^Talk!

What?

Why is there information about Polterguys in this article? They are both extremely different enemies and should not be in the same article.

Shy Guy Ghosts from Mario vs. Donkey Kong look like this.

While the Shy Guy Ghost article refers mainly to the ghosts in Luigi's Mansion, the part about the ghosts from Mario vs. Donkey Kong appears disjointed compared to the rest of the article. These Shy Guy ghosts resemble Boo Guys more, and they have different functions (they transform into a block depending on what button Mario hits).

We should split the ones that appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong to Polterguy rather than lump them into the same article. Polterguys serve also the same function: transform into harmless blocks when a switch matching their color is pressed. Polterguys look the same, act the same... they are probably the same as Shy Guy Ghosts from Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

Support

1. Mario (talk) Boo Guy-looking Shy Guy Ghosts are different from Shy Guy Ghosts from Luigi's Mansion.
2. Baby Luigi (talk) Per Mario
3. Yoshi876 (talk) Per proposal, the article even says this: "A different enemy with the same name appears in Mario vs. Donkey Kong, bearing a more similar appearance to Boo Guys."
4. KP (talk) Per proposal.
5. Lord Grammaticus (talk) One's a ghost with a removable mask, and the other shifts between ghost and block, more than good enough reason to separate them.

Comments

One comment: I'm not sure if Polterguy and these Shy Guy Ghosts are the same enemy, but they seem to be same appearance, same function, different name. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:51, 7 January 2014 (EST)

Well it looks similar to how sometimes, Mecha-Koopa was named differently or even Queen Bee's case. Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:53, 7 January 2014 (EST)

The title of the Talk Page Proposal is to simply split the section, so I can revise it to include Polterguys. I need voters' okay, though. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 14:55, 7 January 2014 (EST)

You should do it before altering the contents becomes void. Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:56, 7 January 2014 (EST)

Agreed, I'm all for it. Also, I'm only vaguely annoyed that I didn't think to suggest this before. I need to be more "potential opportunity for a legit TPP"-minded. 6_9 Lord Grammaticus (talk) 14:59, 7 January 2014 (EST)
