Since this now also functions as a species page and we now also have a page for [[Koopa (Bowser's species)]], I was wondering if we should go ahead and treat this as a variant because of the sheer multitude of obvious cues linking them together.

: | :The guides of the time (the ones of the ‘90s that still classified characters in macrogroups, like the Daizukan, Daijiten, the Zen Hyakka) were very adamant in underlining how the two species were separated. While the appearance is similar, the different shell (complete for Boom Boom, partly incomplete for all the members of Bowser’s species) was enough for them. And the addition of Pom Pom was still adherent to this distinction. I guess this could be one of the cases where they deliberately want them to be similar, but different, as if there was a species tree with many branches, some closer to Bowser in appearance, some farther.—23:24, November 30, 2024 (EST) | ||
