Editing Category talk:Boo Buddies

==Why is this a thing?==
Many Boos appear in groups. It's been long established they hold strength in numbers. By the definition the category's provided, it would naturally include Big Boos, the original Stretches, and Boo Stacks. Note that the first of these was outright distinguished from Boo Buddies initially. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 01:37, 1 August 2017 (CT)

There's literally no reason for this to exist. It's just a pointless category based on a one-off term from Super Mario World, and the description isn't even accurate (see [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]]'s comment above).

In other words, it basically just amounts to {{fake link|Category:Super Mario World Boos}}, which is... unnecessary.

I'd like to point out that [[Big and Little Boo]] was on here before I removed it for being speculative, ie using a made-up definition to classify. And it obviously doesn't work for [[Boo Block|Boo Buddy Block]]s, which are single enemies, albeit ones that are sometimes found close to each other. Yeah, this has to go. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 00:55, 22 August 2017 (CT)
:Digging into the history of this and the various Boo Buddy redirects shows that many arbitrary distinctions like this were made about "Boo Buddies" back in the early days. This category's existence just seems to be a relic of that. The "Boo Buddy" article was actually initially about the [[Big and Little Boo]], while the various enemies from ''Super Mario World'' were categorized under "Boo Buddy (SMW)", where [[Disappearing Boo Buddies]] was treated as the name for [[Boo Buddy Swarm]], while eventually the "Boo Buddy" article came to be about the actual Boo Buddy Swarm. Which explains a bit, except this category wasn't around until long after the Big and Little Boo was corrected. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 10:00, 22 August 2017 (CT)
