When items were first introduced as a mechanic in the ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' series, they were just that, items, ranging from classic Mario items such as the [[Mushroom]] to new additions like the [[Skeleton Key]]. Come ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', items were reworked into [[Orb]]s, then known as Capsules, which were basically the same as pre-existing items, except that they came in a small plastic orb (probably to fit with the gacha-like [[capsule machine]]s added in the same game) and could sometimes be thrown onto spaces. Unsurprisingly, a lot of established items returned as Orbs: the Mushroom became the [[Mushroom Orb]], the [[Warp Pipe#Mario Party 4|Warp Pipe]] became the [[Warp Pipe Orb]], and the [[Poison Mushroom#Mario Party series|Cursed Mushroom]] became the [[Cursed Mushroom Orb]]. It must be emphasized that these Orbs are virtually identical in name, appearance, and effect to their ordinary item counterparts, except that they are contained within a plastic ball. The fact that the wiki currently considers these orbs to be ontologically distinct from the regular items they are based on is a little silly to me, and certainly hurts readability and regularly violates [[SMW:Once and only once]], since these Orbs will (understandably) be mentioned on the articles of their non-Orb counterparts as well.

Working off of shared Japanese names between Orbs and their item counterparts, this proposal would merge the following articles:
This article would be titled {{fake link|Hammer (move)}}, which currently redirects to [[Kirby]], since "Hammer" is one of his special moves in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but I believe that Hammer (move) referring to a Mario franchise subject instead would be highly sensible.
*[[Boo-Away Orb]] → [[Gaddlight]]
*[[Cursed Mushroom Orb]] → [[Poison Mushroom]] (or a new {{fake link|Cursed Mushroom}} article, contingent on [[Talk:Poison_Mushroom#Split_Cursed_Mushroom_from_this_article|this proposal]])
*[[Mushroom Orb]] → [[Mushroom]]
*[[Super 'Shroom Orb]] → [[Super Mushroom]]
*[[Warp Pipe Orb]] → [[Warp Pipe]]
 
It should be noted that this proposal is making no attempt to merge Orb articles that are visually or thematically distinct from items that have similar effects. While ''Mario Party 5''{{'}}s [[Lakitu Orb|Lakitu Capsule]] may function similarly to a [[Plunder Chest]], it's ''not'' a Plunder Chest, and simply mentioning that these two items work similarly is enough, just as it is for ''[[Mario Party DS]]''{{'}} [[Snag Bag]]. This proposal only aims to merge the most clear-cut item-Orb counterparts, which depict the same item inside the plastic ball and act as a clear successor to those items.

Create an article for the Hammer move in RPGs

{{TPP}}

Credit to Blinker for first raising this issue on Talk:Super Hammer (move).

This article would be titled Hammer (move), which currently redirects to Kirby, since "Hammer" is one of his special moves in the Super Smash Bros. series, but I believe that Hammer (move) referring to a Mario franchise subject instead would be highly sensible.

Proposer: Pseudo (talk)
Deadline: November 14, 2024, 23:59 GMT

Support: Create an article for the Hammer move in RPGs

  1. Pseudo (talk) Per proposal.

Oppose: Don't create this article
