::::::I don't think the people who treated [[Banzai Bills]], [[Bull's-Eye Banzai]]s, and [[King Bill]]s like they're all the same thing should be dictating how we split and merge things. Their "unique appearance" is just them flashing in different colors which, given the lack of any notable behavioral differences, makes them little more than a glorified color variant. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 19:03, August 2, 2021 (EDT)

:::::::They're not just basic Piranha Plants flashing different colors though, if you look closer you can see that they're covered in some sort of light-up dots (not much of a difference, but it's still something more than a run of the mill palette swap). It's true that Prima does make mistakes from time to time, but the current stance of the wiki is that Prima is an accepted official source and we take what they say as fact unless it is either overridden by a higher priority source or clearly incorrect. This case isn't either of those. If you want Prima to stop being used as a source entirely, that's a different discussion. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 19:08, August 2, 2021 (EDT)

::::::::I never said anything about discrediting Prima entirely. Don't put words in my mouth. My issue is with using a third-party strategy guide name (not even Prima specifically, that "Submarine Nep-Enut" issue I brought up is from Nintendo Power) as decisive evidence that we should split something. [[Bubble Dayzee]] had a behavioral difference; this doesn't. Before this devolves into a discussion about Prima's validity (I can think of far better subjects for that), the dot thing is at least a point in their favor. I'd prefer it if we had a Japanese source to compare it to, though. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 19:56, August 2, 2021 (EDT)
