===Create page for {{fake link|Cat Enemies (Bowser's Fury)}}===

I've been reading the discussion around the topic, although they are recognized as cat counterparts of the normal SM3DW enemies, their only difference is an addition of cat ears and fur, so I think it would be best to create a specific page for these enemies in general and thanks to this group them into a single differentiated article or make Each Enemy It's Own page, the name of this page is simple {{fake link|Cat Enemies (Bowser's Fury)}}

#{{User|Arend}} Per proposal. (Also, can we split the Bowser's Fury Cat Goomba from [[Cat Goomba|the ''3D World'' one]], while we're at it?)

#{{User|Rykitu}} Per all.
#{{User|Rykitu}} Per all.
#{{User|Hewer}} Actually, this makes sense. Why shouldn't we split variants with different designs and different names, and that are officially identified as separate on Mario Portal? A similar case would be [[Raving Piranha Plant]], or [[Talk:Hyrule Circuit#Create pages for the Zelda elements, take II|this proposal]] that gave us the likes of [[Deku Baba]] and [[cash]], or Mario Maker's [[Jelectro]]s. Oh, and let's not forget [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/69#Split articles for the alternate-named reskins from All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.|Pakkun OkaP]]. (Also, based on how Mario Portal presents it, I'd actually oppose splitting the two Cat Goombas.)

#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Per all. Either these should be split, or we should do a ton of sweeping merges for [[Tail Bob-omb|the]] [[Tail Boo|utter]] [[Tail Bullet Bill|deluge]] [[Tail Thwomp|of]] [[Big Tail Goomba|tanuki]] [[Tail Goomba|tailed]] [[Tail Bowser|enemies]] from ''3D Land''.

#{{user|PopitTart}} If Green Koopa Troopa and Red Koopa Troopa are stuck together despite being mechanically distinct, then theres absolutely no reason Cat Koopa Troopa should get its own page as a cosmetic reskin. Theres more justification to split the colors of Yoshi than the Cat variants.

#{{User|Tails777}} Per PopitTart. I'll admit, the support reasons are justifiable, but if we're already struggling to find a line with things like Koopa Troopas, Yoshis and Shy Guys, who have on-an-off functionality/statistical differences across multiple different games, these shouldn't be up for discussion just yet with their cosmetic differences.

#{{User|PrincessPeachFan}} Per PopitTart. Why should we give these enemies articles if they are no different from the base forms beyond looks?
#{{User|Sdman213}} Purr all.
#{{User|RHG1951}} Per all.
#{{User|Nightwicked Bowser}} Per all
#{{User|Arend}} Secondary option, I do not mind these staying on their regular counterparts' articles since they behave exactly the same anyway (but I still find it weird that the Bowser's Fury Cat Goomba is mered with [[Cat Goomba|the ''3D World'' one]] when they look more closely and behave exactly like regular Goombas)
<s>#{{User|Arend}} Given that these have never been classified as a group, and that said group never even got the name "Cat Enemies", I would rather give each subject its own article instead. I would suggest retitling the proposed article to something like "List of cat variants of enemies in ''Bowser's Fury''", but that would cover nearly every enemy in the entire campaign, which would be redundant. (side note, the Cat Goomba from ''Bowser's Fury'' should NOT be merged with [[Cat Goomba|the ''3D World'' one]])</s>

::::Are they? I can still make the same counterarguments that they are generally the only instances of those enemies in the game and not named differently or identified separately, unlike these cats. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 16:46, March 8, 2025 (EST)

{{@|PopitTart}} - Those aren't always mechanically distinct, though, and them being named differently from each other is also not consistent.

:Usually but-not-always mechanically distinct is still more than never mechanically distinct. And given the color usage elsewhere in ''SMB3'''s credits, that seems to be a Red Koopa.--[[User:PopitTart|PopitTart]] ([[User talk:PopitTart|talk]]) 15:38, March 8, 2025 (EST)

{{@|Camwoodstock}} all of those Tail enemies you link to are mechanically differentiated from their base forms. This is already consistent with how [[Cat Goomba]], [[Cat Bullet Bill]], and [[Meowser]] are covered. The Cat forms in ''Bowser's Fury'' which this proposal refers to are a different case.--[[User:PopitTart|PopitTart]] ([[User talk:PopitTart|talk]]) 16:34, March 8, 2025 (EST)

I think this problem is derived from a bigger problem, the fusion of enemies of the same species but of different color/appearance, I will have to make a future proposal to fix this once and for all.[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]])
: The only problem is that the enemies of the same species but of different color/appearance are treated as exactly the same with no differentiation whatsoever. [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 08:29, March 9, 2025 (EDT)
::I think we should create pages for enemy variants of different colors, appearances as long as they have a separate name, simple mechanics, or are recognized by Nintendo.[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]]) 15:32, March 9, 2025 (EDT)
::: They may be "recognized by Nintendo" but that doesn't change the fact that the enemy variants of different colors are lumped in with their regular ones or have no differences from the regular versions 99.9999% of the time.
