| #{{User|MarioMaster720}} Sure they act different but they look exactly the same, have exactly the same names and are obviously intended to be the same thing. The Green Stars in SMG2 were the SMG version of Star Coins anyway (With the difference that they only appear post-story and end the level after getting them). The Comet Observatory, Lumas and Rosalina all appear in 3D World so them being treated as "sources of power" is irrelevant. Tons of items change functions over the course of Mario games, and this change isn't drastic enough to warrant seperate articles IMO.
| |
| #{{User|Mariosonic444}} I can't believe these articles were seperated anyways, I remember one of the the E3 interviews they specifically stated they brought back Green Stars to pay homage to SMG2. This is silly.

| :::::::Green POWER Stars are in Super Mario Galaxy. Those in 3D World are merely Green Stars. Green Power Stars are Power Stars that are green. If Green Stars made several other appearances, we must create a general Green-colored star page. Otherwise, these are Power Stars. Green Stars in 3D World aren't Power Stars. I'm not sure about Magnifying Glass's case, but they still share the same name UNLIKE Green Power Stars and Green Stars. It's a combination of factors that leads to my oppose, not just one factor. <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 20:04, 4 December 2013 (EST)

| ===='Iwata Asks' mention of Green Stars====
| |
|
| |
| Sorry to abandon the previous discussion, but after doing a bit of research on the subject, I found an ''Iwata Asks'' interview discussing Green Stars in [[Super Mario 3D World]]:
| |
|
| |
| ''This time, we replaced Star Medals with Green Stars. We made that change because as with gameplay since [[Super Mario 64]], we wanted gameplay that goes a step further, so that you take on a challenge and get something when you clear it. That way each person, advanced players as well, can enjoy all kinds of ways to play. It turned out so that players can enjoy a feeling closer to 3D Super Mario games.'' -"''Hayashida''" (See interview [http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/super-mario-3d-world/0/2 here])
| |
|
| |
| What does that seem to imply? ''We made that change because as with gameplay since [[Super Mario 64]], we wanted gameplay that goes a step further, so that you take on a challenge and get something when you clear it.'' - This seems to imply the swapping of Star Medals for Green Stars was homage to Super Mario 64, implying that they're meant to be 'Power Stars' in this sense. He mentions that ''Super Mario 64'' changes the basic Mario formula from "Reach the end of the level" to "obtain this to end". With that comment, he mentions that the Green Stars serve this purpose, both visually and mechanically: ''It turned out so that players can enjoy a feeling closer to 3D Super Mario games.'' And what was that 'feeling'? Collecting stars. This atleast seems to imply a relation to [[Power Star|Power Stars]], but in a game stylized after the formula the series originally followed. This seems to be relevant to the topic at hand, an implication that these Green Stars are Power Stars in a different gameplay environment. --[[User:SM64DSMK|SM64DSMK]] ([[User talk:SM64DSMK|talk]]) 19:29, 3 December 2013 (EST)
| |
| :It's an implication, though. Iwata has made no mention that Green Power Stars and Green Stars are the same entities. Green Stars can be retooled Green Power Stars, but it doesn't make them the same necessarily. <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 20:04, 4 December 2013 (EST)

| === Question? ===
| |
|
| |
| I got redirected here from a link in the [[Rabbit]] article's SM3DW section. Is a disambig gonna be created to remedy that soon, or does that somehow hinge on the outcome of this proposal? [[Special:Contributions/71.190.20.181|71.190.20.181]] 04:25, 8 December 2013 (EST)
| |
| :Hinges on the proposal, of they're merged they'd all be on one page so the disambiguation would be unneeded, if they remain split a disambiguation will probably be created. {{User|Yoshi876}}
| |
| ::Right, thanks. Not that it means much towards the process itself, but a split would make sense to me, which is why I asked. The link I mentioned should still be fixed at least, in the event I don't remember to do so myself. [[Special:Contributions/71.190.20.181|71.190.20.181]] 04:37, 8 December 2013 (EST)
| |
| :::I've already handled that, don't worry. {{User|Yoshi876}}

| |
| ==TPP: Merge with Green Star (Super Mario 3D World), Take 2==
| |
| {{Settled TPP}}
| |
| {{Proposal outcome|failed|3-9|leave separate}}
| |
| So, I had this thought that Green Stars from ''Super Mario 3D World'' might be the same as Green Power Stars from ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, and decided to see what you guys thought about it. Well, the proposal above says it all, the majority of you don't think like this. According to opposers, the main reasons why the two pages shouldn't be merged is because they have different functions from each other and different names to keep them as their own items.
| |
|
| |
| Honestly, I don't buy any of this. First, the name. It's true that ''SMG'' calls them Green '''Power''' Stars, but it was only in that game. Any similar objects are only called Green Stars afterwards. This very article itself uses both names, and has the Japanese name mentioned as well; it's Green Star (グリーンスター Gurīn Sutā). Furthermore, in the Japanese versions of the ''Galaxy'' games, only the Power Stars are called Power Stars, while Green Power Stars and Red Power Stars are called Green Stars and Red Stars, but classified as Power Stars. Don't forget Bronze Stars, which are grouped in with Power Stars on this wiki, but only called Stars. Considering all this, Green Power Star sounds like a localization to me, which was corrected in ''SMG2''. That's similar to how I think [[Piranhacus Giganticus]] is an out-dated name for [[Big Piranha Plant]].
| |
|
| |
| Second, the function. Of course the Green Stars function differently from the ''Galaxies'', when they are not the goal objective in ''3D World''. They are two different types of 3D ''Mario'' games, and when you have different types of sub-series within the series, certain elements are bound to change. Look at Fire Flower, in ''3D World'' in functions almost identically to the 2D ''Marios'', while in ''Galaxies'' they are timed. Or Ice Flower, which transformed Mario literally into ice in ''SMG'' for a short time, while in NSMB games it's just an ice version of Fire Flower. Even Super Star from Yoshi's Island seems like an unneeded split from Super Star from the core platformers on this wiki, because in spite of appearance and differing effects, they are essentially invincibility power-ups in two different types of ''Mario'' games. Same with ''3DW'' Green Stars and ''SMG'' Green "Power" Stars, they're not that different as they still act as collectibles that can be used to unlock levels. The differing styles of ''Galaxies'' and ''3D World'' are the main reasons they have different functions in the first place.
| |
|
| |
| Long story short: The Green "Power" Stars have always been Green Stars in name, but Green Stars are still Power Stars. A different name and function don't necessarily equate two different items, but can also mean one item with different functions in different games. When the types of games are different in almost every regard, it may be easier to justify to see something similar looking in both games as completely different, but if name's the same, that may also not be the case. And as far as I know, there has always been Green Stars, in spite of them being called Green Power Stars once.

|
| |
| ===Merge the pages===
| |
| #{{User|SmokedChili}} Per proposal.
| |
| #{{User|Aokage}} Per SmokedChili. The same item can function differently in a different type of game.
| |
| #{{User|Mario7}} This makes complete sense; the same item can have different functionalities in different games, and just because a name was localized a different way does not split the same item into two. Per proposal.
| |
|
| |
| ===Don't do it===
| |
| #{{user|NSY}} Purposes are different, per everything that was said in the last proposal.
| |
| #{{User|Stonehill}} Per NSY. The Green Stars from ''Super Mario 3D World'' are collectibles required to open certain levels, while the power stars from the ''Galaxy'' games are collectibles required ''to power up Starship Mario''!!!
| |
| #{{User|Mario}} One is a Star Coin like those Sun Stones from ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. The other is an itemized flagpole (which typical mission Power Stars are).
| |
| #{{User|Vommack}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|SuperYoshiBros}} Oh gosh, not this again. They are clearly different things, one is a Star Coin, and the other is the end of a level.
| |
| #{{User|Marshal Dan Troop}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Yoshi876}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Tails777}} Per all.
| |
| #{{User|Koopakoolklub}} [[Power Star]] and [[Super Star (power-up)]] aren't merged. Cause they do [[Goal Pole|different]] [[Invincible Mario|stuff]]. The End.

| ===Comments===
| |
| *The name is same for both versions, yes? So are Stars. Mario Party Stars used to be merged with this article, but the two functions are incredibly different. The Super Star in Yoshi's Island does give invincibility, but it's part of a different form nevertheless ([[Superstar Mario]]). It doesn't even look a whole deal like the familiar Starman; it's a lot smaller and it doesn't even have a face.
| |
| *The names aren't even the same since one would be called a Green Power Star while the other is a Green Star.
| |
| *Fire Flowers grant Mario basically the same powerup; the only difference is a timer, which needs to be there anyway, but it's essentially the same powerup. Ice Flowers are a bit of an oddball, but they're still a type of powerup item. I don't think people would like to have the Super Mario Galaxy section split since it's not ''that'' much disjointed from the rest of the article.
| |
|
| |
| I opposed in the last proposal, and this one still doesn't convince me. The only good example is the Ice Flower, but there has to be much more examples to this. {{User:Mario/sig}} 13:19, 3 June 2014 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| Anyway, although these should be called "Green Stars", my point still stands. The only good comparison you can make is the Ice Flower, but there has to be much more examples, but since there are apparently no more examples than this one, I'm not budging from my side.

|
