These two titles in particular refer to version-exclusive content in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', and uniformly adhering to the most recent naming across the board causes noticeable discrepancies with the core gameplay of ''Super Mario 64''. Both refer to characters that simply don't exist in ''Super Mario 64'', and the power-up nomenclature has always defaulted to "[Form] Mario" so the former would be a better match. This looks off in places like template pages where version differences are already denoted, so these titles should ideally be more universal. As an example, Tower of the Wing Cap kept its name despite being changed in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', presumably because it is inconsistently referred to as both "? Switch" and "? Switches of Rainbow Tower" (undoubtedly a mistake as there's only one, which may be a holdover of the "! Switches" in ''Super Mario 64''). Also, the Wing Cap technically exists in ''Super Mario 64 DS'' as part of Wing Mario (albeit not as a power-up item), so the original name is still more version-neutral overall. That was before we had [[MarioWiki talk:Naming#Make an exception to source priority for articles with identical names|this proposal regarding shared identifiers]], so I believe there's enough wiggle room here to invoke the [[MarioWiki:Naming#Name changes|exception clause]]. | These two titles in particular refer to version-exclusive content in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', and uniformly adhering to the most recent naming across the board causes noticeable discrepancies with the core gameplay of ''Super Mario 64''.
