:Aside from the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' appearance, all the King Boos have been the same character.

:"They're designed differently" alone usually isn't remotely enough to be considered an actual separate character (character designs evolve and shift between games, imagine that!) and alternate designs as playable characters isn't TOO much of a leap from alternate forms a la [[Metal Mario]] and such.

::As I've said before, the LM design and "generic" design are ''officially confirmed'' to be the same character in Smash.
