The remake opted to give the enemy an organic appearance instead of retaining its mechanical appearance from previous MvDK games. Covering this enemy's appearance on this article would contradict the "toy" identifier as well as the wiki's general practice of separating characters and enemies from their toy counterparts (e.g. [[Shy Guy (toy)]] is separate from [[Shy Guy]], as is [[Monchee]] from [[Monkikki]], with Monchee's split even being decided [[Talk:Monchee#Split_Monkikki_from_Monchee|through a proposal]]). On the flip side, making yet another page just for a retroactive design change feels kinda silly, especially when the enemy is likely to have otherwise no changes in behavior from its original incarnation. Any thoughts? {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 13:37, January 31, 2024 (EST)

:This may be stupid suggestion, but maybe the toy enemies could be merged with their organic counterparts? [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 17:05, January 31, 2024 (EST)

:The birds seem to be handled in a similar way to the [[RamRam]]s in the remake so I think it would make sense to group them with the regular [[Bird (Donkey Kong series)|birds]] from DK Jr. and DK94. [[User:ReeceeYT|ReeceeYT]] ([[User talk:ReeceeYT|talk]]) 15:44, February 15, 2024 (EST)

::::I've thought of the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' birds as redesigned Nitpickers, but there may need to be a little more evidence. At least Snapjaw has [[Snapjaw#Internal names|this]]; all we have to go off of is "[[Bird (Mario vs. Donkey Kong series)#Internal names|Bird]]".
