Capitalization?[edit]

Is it "Bowser's Body" or "Bowser's body"? I've only just begun the game, but so far I've only seen "body" referred to in the lowercase; does "Bowser's Body" show up later, or should we consider moving the article to Bowser's body? (On a side-note, most official sources call them the "Mario bros." but it's often written "Mario Bros." around here, so I'm thinking our personal biases towards capitalizing everything might be at play in both these cases.) - Walkazo 23:15, 26 September 2009 (EDT)

I think it's just capitalized because every other title is capitalized as well... - Gabumon from the Digimon franchise Gabumon(talk) 23:21, 26 September 2009 (EDT)
It's capitalized because when I created it, it was simply a translation (hence the use of {{conjecture}}) and Japanese doesn't have majescules. So, I guessed at the capitalization. It should probably be moved to the lowercase now. - 2257(Talk) 23:28, 26 September 2009 (EDT)
Okay, I moved the page. - Walkazo 23:13, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

Suggestion[edit]

I just had an idea. How would it be to make several screenshots of this map, with the little Mario bros. icon on all the different locations, and then put these pictures on the respective article? That way, readers can see where the respective place is found in Bowser's Body at a single glance. - Gabumon from the Digimon franchise Gabumon(talk) 23:16, 30 September 2009 (EDT)

As long as that isn't going to replace the main image in the articles, I'm cool with it.--Knife (talk) 23:24, 30 September 2009 (EDT)

I considered suggesting we make a labeled map to put on this article, but that wouldn't be entirely "official", and this is the next best thing.

The locations tho...[edit]

Where did you get that info about his body, like, how do you know that the Trash Pit is in Bowser's large intestine and the Energy Hold in his small intestine? --Frábært! (talk) 21:32, 9 December 2018 (EST)Kolafloro

Some of them are shown on the diagram on the lower screen, where they are in relation to his exterior features. Granted, some of these are assuming Bowser's internal physiology is comparable to that of a human's. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:45, 9 December 2018 (EST)
