The Lego + Game Boy Collaboration should be addded to "Appearances in the Super Mario franchise" section under Miscellaneous. [[User:TheRealL64|TheRealL64]] ([[User talk:TheRealL64|talk]]) 05:46, January 13, 2025 (EST)
==Move 'em out!==
{{TPP}}
The Game Boy Pocket and the Game Boy Light are successors of the original Game Boy itself, so I wonder why both consoles are merged as sections in the Game Boy article itself. They're separate systems, just like the Game Boy Color. I think these sections should get separated and become articles.


== Split [[GB]] ==

#{{User|Danimario9}} - I think they're better as articles and not as sections.
Okay, first of, what is GB? Or should I say, who is GB? It's a bit unclear. Anyways, GB, known in Japanese as GB-kun, is an enormous Game Boy seen in 9-Volt's room in ''WarioWare, inc: Mega Microgame$''. It's capable of speech (if "OK" counts as speech), has a robotic arm it uses to insert cartridges into itself?, and, again, is very large. Not only is it clearly not a normal Game Boy, but it's also anthropomorphized by the ''-kun'' honorific (compare Diskun) and ability to talk(?). Whatever this thing is, it should surely be split.

#{{User|Raven Effect}} If this were a Nintendo Wiki i would say yes but this isn't a Nintendo Wiki it's a Mario Wiki and no Mario games are exclusive to one console so it makes no sense to split.


===Support: split GB===
===Comments===
#{{User|Blinker}} Per proposal. By the way, I'm always a bit confused about the identifier rules. Should this be {{fake link|GB (character)}} or would {{fake link|GB}} suffice?
The deadline was wrong: TPPs run for two weeks, not one. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 16:10, 12 February 2012 (EST)
#{{User|Pseudo}} Seems like this is a distinct character who ''is'' a Game Boy, rather than an ordinary example of a Game Boy. Per proposal.
:Didn't knew. --[[User:Danimario9|Danimario9]] [[User talk:Danimario9|(<small>Talk</small>)]] 16:12, 12 February 2012 (EST)
#{{User|Super Mario RPG}} Per Blinker.
By the way, the Game Boy Color has its proper article, but the Game Boy Pocket and the Game Boy Light do not. They should have proper articles, too. --[[User:Danimario9|Danimario9]] [[User talk:Danimario9|(<small>Talk</small>)]] 16:14, 12 February 2012 (EST)
#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Per proposal. In regards to Blinker, we assume it would be {{fake link|GB (character)}}, since [[GB]] is an abbreviation redirect for the Game Boy itself.
#{{User|Hewer}} {{color|green|OK}}
#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Per all.
#{{User|Rykitu}} Per all.
#{{User|Pizza Master}} Per all.
#{{User|Jdtendo}} Per all.
#{{User|Nelsonic}} Per all.
 
===Oppose: do not split GB===
 
===Comments (GB?)===
By "GB-kun", do you mean the one on the left in this image? <br>[[File:9-Volt prologue WarioWare Mega Microgames.png]]<br> {{User:Camwoodstock/sig}} 18:18, March 14, 2025 (EDT)
:Yes. <small>Well, technically "GB" is just a name in the cast roll but it's fairly obvious that that's what it's referring to, I think.</small> [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 18:24, March 14, 2025 (EDT)
::On identifiers: I've seen both, but usually a well-placed "about" template does the job. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 11:00, March 15, 2025 (EDT)
:::I think it makes more sense to have "GB" redirect to the Game Boy article, and have GB-kun receive the character identifier. Both are Game Boys, and I assume people will look for the system itself when searching for GB, rather than the rather semi-obscure character that is also a Game Boy. It's like how "Peach" redirects to [[Princess Peach]], and [[Peach (fruit)|the fruit itself]] has the fruit identifier. {{User:Arend/sig}} 11:16, March 15, 2025 (EDT)
