Talk:Naval Piranha: Difference between revisions
→Calling similar Piranha Plant bosses "Naval Piranhas"
| Line 56: | Line 56: | ||
To bring in ''my'' two cents (since this talk seemingly hasn't been resolved), Naval Piranha is as much a "species" as [[Talk:Big_Boo#Split_.22Big_Boo_.28character.29.22|Boss Teresa]]. Generic Japanese name be darned, it's still a ''singular character'', of which only one Naval Piranha appears in a game (with the notable example of ''Yoshi's Wooly World'', but even then the ''Mario'' franchise is no stranger to seemingly destroyed bosses inexplicably reappearing later on). By the same logic used to call Naval Piranha a species, shouldn't we be considering [[Burt the Bashful]] a species due to the existence of the [[Big Burt Bros.]], or [[Hookbill the Koopa]] a species because of [[Knot-Wing the Koopa|Knot-Wing]]? And I don't think any of us want to see an article start with "Burt the Bashfuls are..."

:Yes, actually. Hookbill also has Kent C. to deal with while Tap-Tap the red nose has a "[[Tap-Tap the Golden|special]]" and a "[[Super Big Tap-Tap|super]]" version. This is precisely why I had a "character/species" infobox that has since been deleted while I was away (because of something about voice actors? I dunno). The operative word here is "Big;" for that Boo, it's "Boss." [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:29, May 7, 2024 (EDT) | |||
