Editing Talk:Big Boo (character)

== No SMW? ==

If we are listing big Boos with leader and boss roles, shouldn't we include the Big Boo secret boss from ''Super Mario World'', especially considering he is nothing like the standards Big Boo enemies? {{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 07:59, May 11, 2024 (EDT)
:The Super Mario World Big Boo was split before and was merged after [[Talk:Big Boo (boss)#Merge to Big Boo part Too|this proposal]]. I'm assuming that's why it's not here. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 08:31, May 11, 2024 (EDT)
::Additionally, there unfortunately seems to be too little evidence that the ''SMW'' Big Boo boss is the same character, given that its Japanese name appears to be the same as the regular Big Boo at the time (Atomic Teresa). Though ''Mario Part 4'''s Big Boo being blue-hued might be a reference to how Big Boos were colored in ''World'', so maybe that's something? {{User:Arend/sig}} 09:56, May 11, 2024 (EDT)
:::The reason I didn't include it was I'm erring on the side of caution for it. The ''Super Mario Pia'', which explicitly merged the SM64 and SMS bosses, left it out due to it being Atomic Teresa. As such, it seems to be more like the Baby Bowser to this one's Koopa Kid and King Boo's Bowser Junior, if that analogy makes sense.

::::This is a long shot, but perhaps some ''Super Mario Advance 2'' guide might retroactively attribute it as an appearance of this guy? Also, maybe we can put the ''Super Mario RPG'' Terrorize Big Boo here as well since that one's Japanese name otherwise hasn't been attributed to normal Big Boos as far as we know.

:::::SMRPG I'd find highly unlikely, as it's just the English word "big" primarily associated with ''Yoshi'' bosses (so despite Bigger Boo not using it in SMW2, it may have been intended as ''him''). Granted, I don't know if it's mentioned in the remake's script... [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 12:45, May 11, 2024 (EDT)

I feel that we should mention the Japanese encylopedia's mention that all the enemies and the Yoshis were created by Bowser Jr. using his Magic brush because it seems to me that Mr. Fruit Dropper wasn't intended to be the same guy as the 64 boss at first despite sharing the same Japanese name.

== ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' + ''Luigi's Mansion 2'' ==
I don't understand... ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' doesn't even feature [[Big Boo (character)|Big Boo]], but [[King Boo]]. Can someone please explain why the [[Big Boo (character)|Big Boo page]] has a ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' chapter? {{User:Bwario/sig}} 02:25, July 8, 2024 (EDT)
:It's literally written in it, but... basically that is not King Boo: all enemies in the game are Bowser Junior's scribbles come to life, that's why they look so drastically different. Also, the Japanese name (aka, the original name) makes him shares the name with the Big Boo boss "Boss Teresa" (Boo boss), the rest of the translation, due to that crown, gave it the name of King Boo. One would say: then why the Big Boo from Luigi's Mansion 2 isn't considered as Boolossus if we follow this logic? Because they only share the name, but have a very different appearance: Boolossus' eyes are yellow and are covered by the shadow of his eyebrows, but in LM2 it's a plain and simple Big Boo (btw, shouldn't we technically include it here? It is a big Boo with the function of a boss with a different Japanese name from the standard species). But this King Boo has both a different design, it's artificial and it's also a Sleepy Boo (the game's counterpart of the Big Boo) with a crown: it's basically the Big Boo boss. {{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 04:39, July 8, 2024 (EDT)
::There was a [[Talk:Big Boo#Move the Dark Moon information to Boolossus|proposal]] about including the Dark Moon Big Boo in Boolossus which failed. I'll also direct you to the [[Talk:Big Boo#Split "Big Boo (character)"|proposal]] that led to this page's creation (also including why the Super Mario Sunshine King Boo is here). {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 05:13, July 8, 2024 (EDT)
