::::::(I mainly intended to save the subject_origin parameter for genericized subjects, like how Sidesteppers are based on normal crabs despite those technically appearing later, but that's not too important now.) I think this is overcomplicating matters a little bit. Going back to Doc's "The Cave of the Bandits" example, basic Bandits and Coin Bandits are actually outnumbered by Lava Drops and Little Skull Mousers (a fact that the [[tcrf:Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys romX 0#World 6|early name]] apparently picked up on); but if we count Sluggers as Bandits, then it's roughly tied to each, and just adding Green Gloves and maybe Zeus Guys to the mix tips them in the majority, thus making more sense of the final name. The better question would be where Grunt fits in, given it's arguably the most different. If we're going to put aside the shape/proportions, there are still other physical similarities at play. Consider that Green Gloves, Sluggers, Grunts, and Zeus Guys all have Bandit hands/gloves, and except for the sleeves and Zeus Guy's black belt (which visually suggests a similar motif over Shy Guy's buckled belt), they all have Bandit's striped clothing. Variants don't always have to take on the namesake quality of their parent subject. I would say that Green Glove and Slugger are relatively safe to consider Bandits, and Grunt and Zeus Guy would be reasonable assumptions for simplicity's sake.
