Editing Talk:Fury Bowser

==The conjectural name==
Where does "God Slayer Bowser" even ''come from?'' I have heard various sources claim it's from some Japanese-exclusive release, but I can't find any traces of something even vaguely like that in those...

:I heard it was from a press release, and that the English name was a boring "Mega Fury Bowser" --[[User:Modderkin64|Modderkin64]] ([[User talk:Modderkin64|talk]]) 16:59, January 12, 2021 (EST)
::At the moment, neither name seems to be properly official. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}
:::Best I can tell, the name was invented by Matt McMuscles on Twitter. There is no such "press release" to be found online. [[User:Les|Les]] ([[User talk:Les|talk]]) 17:03, January 12, 2021 (EST)

== completely black Bowser ==

I noticed that through hacking, you can reach Bowser before even triggering him in the beginning. if you reach him then, you will notice that he will then completely be black. even his hair and eyes will. I think that should be added in the trivia {{Unsigned|80.57.88.144}}
:Do you have a source for that? {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 12:09, March 17, 2021 (EDT)

yes, I watched it on youtube. I think the video was made by Prosafiagaming and it was called 'what happens when you skip Bowser Jr. in Bowsers Fury' I think. {{Unsigned|80.57.88.144}}
:You don't need to make a new section when adding a comment, and please sign your comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Either way, Prosafiagaming is a bit questionable since that channel has quite a lot of mod videos on it, even for Bowser's Fury itself. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 14:23, March 17, 2021 (EDT) 

yeah but there is also another video 
uploaded by ZXMany. the video is called 'Strange Tests With Bowser's Fury Hacking'. [[Special:Contributions/80.57.88.144|80.57.88.144]] 02:54, March 19, 2021 (EDT)


Fury Bowser is black, but not completely Black Bowser, it even says not to confuse him with Fury Bowser, and the reason he was completely black is probably so the player doesn't see Fury Bowser in the beginning of the game before they make it to the ship-wreak, remember i said <big>'''PROBABLY'''</big>. {{User:Bowser64/sig}} 20:05, April 22, 2021 (EDT)

== Wording ==

In one if the gallery images the text was: "A gigantic Small Mario avoiding some Fury Spikes" can we rephrase that? {{User:Bubbasour11/sig}}

:What's wrong with it? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:25, July 27, 2021 (EDT)
:Yeah, that wording is used to communicate that the version of Small Mario in the image was from Giga Cat Mario taking damage twice, hence "gigantic". "Gigantic" and "small" are opposites, but removing "gigantic" would lose meaning in the image description.

== The removal of "God Slayer Bowser" redirect? ==

On the day of 12 January 2021, [https://twitter.com/MattMcMuscles/status/1349003493735067651 a popular Twitter user off-handedly said that Fury Bowser's Japanese name is God Slayer Bowser]. Twitter is not known for truth, because anybody can say whatever they want. In fact, this user only admitted the statement to be a joke two days later. The problem is, because of the user's clout and the fact that a press release might not be able to be verified, some news websites have been fooled into thinking that is true ([https://screenrant.com/super-mario-3d-world-god-slayer-bowser/ Example]). 

The redirect exists after the admission that the information is incorrect, but its presence is justified in that the name is memorable so users might search for the fake name, in order to direct them to the right page. An attempt was made to mark the redirect for deletion, but it is justified in that users might still prefer the term, so the redirect stays.

Given that a significant amount of time has passed, when fads can get forgotten or at least still practised by an insignificant amount of people, I feel that the redirect of God Slayer Bowser is no longer necessary. Besides, the existence of this term is practically a kind of disinformation because it assumes that it is correct to call Fury Bowser that when the game did not even acknowledge the term, even if the one who made it up admitted to it being fake all along.

So, would the removal of this redirect be justified?

:I still see the occasional Goombeetle using it seemingly-unironically, so... [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:48, December 4, 2022 (EST)
::There was a section explaining that the name is fake on the [[rumors]] article, but it was [[Talk:List_ of rumors and urban legends about Mario#Setting a clearer standard_for what goes_on this page|removed]] in 2021. I would either reinstate that section and have the name redirect there, or remove the redirect altogether - having it redirect to Fury Bowser's page is worse than both of those, as it implies it's an official name as Winstein said.

::[[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]], I don't understand anything about Goombeetle in the context of this discussion. Could you please elaborate? From what I understand, Goombeetle at least has the benefit of being mentioned in a Prima guide, which is a more official source of information, whereas the God Slayer Bowser is basically a fan name made up by someone on Twitter with the intent of fooling people.

::To me, this is quite like that ahehehauhe redirect that we used to have, so I don't think we should keep it either. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 10:28, December 5, 2022 (EST)
:::I have to agree, it's a blatantly fake name that was popular for all of a few days before the official name came out pretty much immediately afterwards and quickly made the rounds. I supported removing it from the rumor list because of how short-lived it was, and I don't think this redirect serves a purpose anymore either and gives a little too much credence if we're not going to explain that it's not real. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 11:45, December 5, 2022 (EST)
