I feel that we should mention the Japanese encylopedia's mention that all the enemies and the Yoshis were created by Bowser Jr. using his Magic brush because it seems to me that Mr. Fruit Dropper wasn't intended to be the same guy as the 64 boss at first despite sharing the same Japanese name.

No SMW?[edit]
If we are listing big Boos with leader and boss roles, shouldn't we include the Big Boo secret boss from Super Mario World, especially considering he is nothing like the standards Big Boo enemies?

- The Super Mario World Big Boo was split before and was merged after this proposal. I'm assuming that's why it's not here.

- Additionally, there unfortunately seems to be too little evidence that the SMW Big Boo boss is the same character, given that its Japanese name appears to be the same as the regular Big Boo at the time (Atomic Teresa). Though Mario Part 4's Big Boo being blue-hued might be a reference to how Big Boos were colored in World, so maybe that's something?

- The reason I didn't include it was I'm erring on the side of caution for it. The Super Mario Pia, which explicitly merged the SM64 and SMS bosses, left it out due to it being Atomic Teresa. As such, it seems to be more like the Baby Bowser to this one's Koopa Kid and King Boo's Bowser Junior, if that analogy makes sense. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:49, May 11, 2024 (EDT)
- This is a long shot, but perhaps some Super Mario Advance 2 guide might retroactively attribute it as an appearance of this guy? Also, maybe we can put the Super Mario RPG Terrorize Big Boo here as well since that one's Japanese name otherwise hasn't been attributed to normal Big Boos as far as we know. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:13, May 11, 2024 (EDT)
- SMRPG I'd find highly unlikely, as it's just the English word "big" primarily associated with Yoshi bosses (so despite Bigger Boo not using it in SMW2, it may have been intended as him). Granted, I don't know if it's mentioned in the remake's script... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:45, May 11, 2024 (EDT)

Super Mario Sunshine + Luigi's Mansion 2[edit]
I don't understand... Super Mario Sunshine doesn't even feature Big Boo, but King Boo. Can someone please explain why the Big Boo page has a Super Mario Sunshine chapter?
