Talk:Prince Florian

Prince Florian is a clearly a young Wiggler

I don't want to start an edit war so I have to ask, why was the species tab on the infobox changed back from "Wiggler" to "catipillar"? His head is shaped like a Wiggler's, his body has segments, heck he keeps badges in a flower on his head, and head flowers are something all Wigglers have.

You're focused on the head. Look at the rest of him, which is not Wiggler-like at all beyond resembling a larva (but a totally different one). That "head flower" is just a crown signifying he's the prince of the Flower Kingdom. So while he might be a Wiggler, we don't know. He could just resemble one in the same manner Poplins resemble Toads. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:12, September 4, 2023 (EDT)

Clearly everything that resembled a caterpillar ever, including actual caterpillars, must be a reference to Wiggler. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 13:21, September 4, 2023 (EDT)

To me, it's more of a "looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck". I'm not opposed to calling this character a sort of Wiggler or based off Wiggler, but this could just be in the body text of the article rather than a confirmation through the species infobox.

I don't know that we should be making any definitive species claims without a source. I'd drop it from the infobox entirely and just mention in his character description that he looks like a caterpillar and, as a result, similar to Wiggler. 73.171.36.107 13:36, September 4, 2023 (EDT)

To me, Prince Florian also has a similar color scheme to the Wiggler from Super Mario Sunshine, which looks like a Wiggler in its red angry form, but green rather than red. Jake Lugo (talk) 17:32, March 5, 2024 (EST)

Could anyone check who the VA is? Reminds me of Kate Higgins, but i'm not too sure. -- FanOfYoshi 02:29, October 20, 2023 (EDT)
