Editing Talk:Mikey Mine

== why are mikey and space mine fused? ==

Why the space mine and Mikey are fused, the difference is very noticeable and they even have different names in Japanese, although in SMG they were called space mikey, in SMG2 the name was changed to mine only[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]])
:Because the "more recent" (using that phrase loosely since they updated on portal at the same time) game treats them as the same thing. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:28, March 3, 2025 (EST)
::While related enemies, I agree they should probably be split. I'm inclined to think the portal page for ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' simply forgot to include both of them; it does not even include two pictures the Mikey Mine listing on that page. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 18:32, March 3, 2025 (EST)
:::It matches how the Japanese ESBM treats them between the two games. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:54, March 3, 2025 (EST)
::::Yes, but the underwater naval Mikey Mine is still not pictured in the encyclopedia. Besides, even if it was lumped in an official capacity, they still are behaviorally distinct in both games, just in different ways. The Mikey Mines in ''Galaxy 2'' can still regenerate after being hit, and only occur underwater. Neither of these traits are true for the Space Mine, so I still think it is valid to keep them split, in my opinion. - 19:42, March 3, 2025 (EST)
In that case we should separate them anyway, while Mikey is just Mikey, the other is space Mikey and in the same portal he divides them, space Mikey is a variant of Mikey, that's how I see it.[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]])
:I think it can go either way, though if we do split them, where should we mention the unused landmine version? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 19:48, March 3, 2025 (EST)
::The underwater Mikey Mine is treated as the "parent" in their nomenclature and looks a little more similar to it, so probably that one. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 23:54, March 3, 2025 (EST)
I would like to see the model, depending on that we could know if it is more related to Mikey or "Space Mikey"[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]])

I think that due to their resemblance and similarity of mechanics, for me at least the unused model should be grouped with Mikey Mine[[User:Sorbetti|Sorbetti]] ([[User talk:Sorbetti|talk]])
