It is said that Mousersaurus Rex is a dinosaur version of Mouser. But why should Mousersaurus Rex have its own article? It's basically an alias for Mouser himself. If Mousersaurus Rex should have its own article then maybe King Koopa's aliases, like Pirate Koopa or Darth Koopa should have their own articles as well. I suggest we merge this article to Mouser's article and include Mousersaurus Rex as an alias to Mouser himself.

Support

1. Char89Charizard (talk) Mouser's aliases shouldn't have their own articles. They're basically the same character, much like King Koopa is with his aliases. I don't remember seeing any other article about any of Mouser's or King Koopa's aliases.
2. Niiue (talk) Per proposal.

Oppose

1. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) One's a Mouse, the other's a Dinosaur-Mouse. That's a big enough difference to me. Even moreso than Thunder Birdo. How is it an "alias" to be 70 times the normal size and of a different biological class?
2. Time Turner (talk) There's a very clear difference in appearance and behaviour between this guy and the regular Mouser, far more than King Koopa's alter egos. The show is hardly a stranger to one-off alternate forms, like the Shy Guy Lion and the Goomba Mummy; claiming that they are actually the exact same as their counterparts is speculation and nothing more.
3. TheFlameChomp (talk) Per all.
4. LinkTheLefty (talk) This is more of a stand-in than an alias - the Toad character takes his book near the beginning of the episode, opens to Cowazaurus and then flips to Mouseraurus (which he audibly reads as "Mousersaurus Rex"), so it's supposed to be a documented species of Caveman Land.

Comments

@Doc: Not everything is revealed behind the scenes. Besides, Mousersaurus Rex has a face like Mouser's. He has hands like Mouser's. Heck he even has Mouser's signature sunglasses. Coincidence? I think not. And to top it off he follows Alley Koop, another alias of King Koopa. It's possible Alley Koop uses magic to turn Mouser into a dinosaur for that particular episode.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Char89Charizard (talk).

And it's possible that it's an entirely separate entity. Speculation is easy to do and ultimately meaningless. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 12:19, 26 September 2017 (EDT)

While we're on the subject of Mouser, why was the Super Show! version separated from the main article? It seems others like Toad and Tryclyde could've easily followed suit, so Mouser looks to be the odd one out. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:30, 26 September 2017 (EDT)

I think it stems from this discussion from 2007, and nobody's bothered to question it since. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 12:35, 26 September 2017 (EDT)
