:::::I've mentioned before how ''Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros.'' is just not a good source for keeping track of legitimate name changes since it segregates information by game and isn't organized like, say, a wiki, but I admit I'm unfamiliar with ''Super Mario Pia''. I suppose my biggest question is: who wrote it and how closely were they working with Nintendo? One of the recent licensed ''The Legend of Zelda'' books, ''Hyrule Encyclopedia'', ended up having a disclaimer that stated the authors took creative liberties with the source material, which meant that a lot of its unique (and questionable) information was taken with a huge grain of salt -- does ''Super Mario Pia'' have a similar statement? Also, the name [http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Batton Batton] isn't that uncommon, being a simple derivative of a loanword that rolls off the tongue. Enigmas from ''Super Mario RPG'' have an entirely different attack move on top of that, splitting into a swarm of miniature bats. Regardless, that isn't an argument for splitting the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' bat into its own article, but moving the information from Swoop to Enigma, which is not in the scope of this proposal.
