Talk:DK Barrel (portable)

Delete

Is this really distinct enough to be its own article, especially since it's only named a "Portable DK Barrel" in the manual? The article seems very padded out when in fact it's only a DK Barrel that can be kept in your inventory like many items in the Super Mario series. Mario JC 08:04, January 25, 2025 (EST)

The old trailers for DKCR3D used "Portable DK Barrel", I'm certain. There is one key difference: Portable DK Barrels cannot be held (like, in DK's arm) like the real deal can be. There's also the fact that you can break game design with it. Super Mushrooms from the player's inventory can't do that. (Counterpoint, of course, being it's pal Super Green Watermelon, though I contest that one on the basis we should split its successor "All-you-can-eat watermelon!")

I'm not sure what you're referring to by break game design, but same can be said for an inventory Mega Mushroom being used to "cheat" in levels and bosses in NSMB DS. These still aren't really enough to justify the item itself being different enough from the regular DK Barrel for it to get a separate article in my opinion. Mario JC 08:26, January 25, 2025 (EST)

I think this should be merged into DK Barrel. Super Mario RPG (talk) 09:12, January 25, 2025 (EST)
