== Redundancy ==

:It's obviously redundant, so feel free to change it (as long as you do it properly). {{User:Bop1996/sig}}

:actually, you can be bald and have hair; bald only means no hair on your head (unless you are an animal). So you could be bald but have a beard or a mustache. However, having no hair means, well, no hair, so in this case either bald or has no hair will work.[[User:M&L|M&L Just because you're in red doesn't mean you're strong.

==Create a Second Page for the Species==

As you can see in the above discussion, there's a lot of inconsistency about Boom Boom. Some sources treat Boom Boom as one specific character, while others say Boom Boom is a species. Right now, all we have is this one Boom Boom page which treats him as a singular character, glossing over the instances where more than one Boom Booms appear onscreen, and not discussing the inconsistent game manual descriptions. I feel that the best way to deal with this situation is to '''keep this character page''' and '''make a ''second'' page for the species'''. It would be called {{fake link|Boom Boom (species)}}, like how [[Birdo (species)]], [[Yoshi (species)]] and [[Toad (species)]] distinguish the eponymous characters from their overall species. It would also work the same way as those pages, with the bulk of the information on this main "Boom Boom" page, and only the stuff that's not the one guy getting moved to the other page. This page would then say that Boom Boom is a Boom Boom who specifically appears in some games, however it would also discuss that there is some ambiguity due to writing styles ("he" also being used for enemies ''known'' to be generic) and conflicting information (i.e. the NES ''SMB3'' sounding like he's one guy, while <i>SMASLE</i>'s ''SMB3'' entry makes it sound like there's a group of them), and the fact that original Japanese offers no insight (since there's no pluralizations or pronouns). The species page would also discuss the precarious situation.

== Merge "Boom Boom" page to "Boom Boom (species)" and rename it "Boom Boom" ==

It was hard to me to make a opinion with this recently, but I come to a fact that I think their is not actually a "character" that is name "Boom Boom", my reason is because in mostly all the games that Boom Boom appear in, Boom Boom don't appear has one character. In Super Mario Bros. 3, I really don't think that Boom Boom is a character because of different powers that Boom Boom have in all the fortress, some even fly and some don't. In New Super Mario Bros. U, It make the most cense that Boom Boom is really a species, because they appear in the top of 6 towers and each of them have different powers that Kamek give to them. I look to some other characters like Koopa Troopa and Shy Guy and their is not really a specific characters that is name Koopa Troopa and Shy Guy (except the one from Mario Party Advance). So the way I would do this I will delete this article because Boom Boom is too much a ambiguous species for the moment to make a article about "the" Boom Boom and make like the Koopa Troopa and Shy Guy a article about the species in general. So, what do you think about it?

::Plenty of recurring bosses have different powers from fight to fight, even within single games. Otherwise battles get repetitive, boring and too easy. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:28, 30 July 2015 (EDT)

:::Not, if it get power. Look at Boom Boom from the Acorn Plains's tower in NSMBU, Boom Boom has the same abilities from all fortress from SMB3, but it get power from Kamek in all others towers, that's not it's own power, it get the power. A another good point to this is Bowser himself, in it's simple form in the SMB series, the only thing he do it's spit fireball and jump, but own new abilities from Bowser Jr. in NSMB, Kamek in NSMBWii and NSMBU and the Koopalings in NSMB2. This is a point to observed. The Koopalings in NSMBWii, each of them have the same abilities from SMB3, but get power from Kamek in their castle boss fight.--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}}  23:20, 30 July 2015 (EDT)

:PowerKamek, please elaborate your position, you say per Walkazo, but here in the comments you say you don't even know who Boom Boom is (so my arguments tell that their is not really a Boom Boom character). Why do you really think that's not a good idea, maybe you can check LinkTheLefty's analyst. Thanks!--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}}  13:10, 31 July 2015 (EDT)  

::Honestly I would do the opposite. It would be more correct to leave the page of the character and to delete the page of the species.--[[User:Sonic98|Sonic98]] ([[User talk:Sonic98|talk]]) 13:59, 31 July 2015 (EDT)

==Re-organised the "Boom Boom" and "Boom Boom (species)" pages==

Since the old proposal I made at August, I questioned the existence of the character of Boom Boom and study the facts. I believe indeed now the existence of the character of Boom Boom. I do not know if you noticed like me, but one in particular Boom Boom does not have a spikes on its shell and many others have them, I think that Boom Boom character is hiding there. Moreover, one who has no sikes into its shell is identify as a character (Super Mario 3D Land). I propose to re- organize the two articles, one of the character and that of the species to ensure that the character of the page speaks of Boom Boom which has no spikes on its shell and that the Boom Boom species articles talk about those who have spikes on it and about the unique characters of the species. What do you think, users of Super Mario Wiki?

:::Nope, ワン ワン (''Wan Wan'') is the Japanese name of Chain Chomps (it's the equivalent of "bark bark"). It also mentions Boos and Bob-ombs, but no Boom Boom(s). - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:06, 18 November 2015 (EST)
