::Considering the Koopaling suits are themed heavily after the sponsors, I don't think it's at all out there. And as mentioned below, the "Pikmin Suit" is clearly based on Olimar. I think the "Moo Moo" in the suit's name is too ambiguous to say it's definitely referring to the cows' "name." That it ''can'' be interpreted in more than one way is why I'd prefer to go with the more cautious option.

:::Heavily featuring the sponsors yes, named after them no. I feel like it being the name of the cow is the significantly more likely interpretation just based on the naming of all the other suits - to my knowledge, the Pikmin Suit is literally the only one based on something specific to not be named after that thing, so it's very much the exception and not the rule, and even then I explained below how that can still make sense, whereas it takes big stretches and between-line-reading reading to interpret the Moo Moo Mii racing suit as not referring to the cow that has been previously named a Moo Moo which it depicts. The simplest explanation is usually the best one. Also, even if we do for whatever reason reject this clear instance of the Moo Moo name, I don't really see what claim the "Cow" name has over it, given all the article's sources cited for it seem to be of similar calibre to those for Moo Moo. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 12:47, May 27, 2024 (EDT)

::::Named by a third-party source, though. For the record, I had forgotten how the suits worked when I initially made the proposal - and images weren't working as my internet was over the monthly data allowance policy (it reset last night) and I was lucky to even get basic HTML - so I'll admit the proposal has substantially less ground than I thought it did initially. If, however, something like the NoA Twitter <s>advertises</s> describes the suit as "based off those lovable Moo Moos" or something like that, I'll abort the proposal, no questions asked.

For what it's worth, they are referred to as "cows" in ''Nintendo Badge Arcade'' (I've added the source to the page), which may be the most recent game to directly refer to them (2015). As a result, they could have been renamed to Moo Moos for ''Mario Kart 8'' (2014), generically referred to as cows (2015), and then referred to for the Moo Moo Suit in ''Mario Kart Tour''/''8 Deluxe'' (2022-23). Alternatively, "Moo Moos" (2014) is a naming error altogether, and the Moo Moo Yoshi/Suit are referring to the cow-like Yoshi design and the Moo Moo brand of milk. I believe this is what the debate boils down to now. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 00:02, May 27, 2024 (EDT)
