Talk:Yellow Toad (New Super Mario Bros. series)

Yellow Toad page

I created a Yellow Toad page and I think for the toads, these two (blue toad too) are the ones that need articles for now. The image might have to be replaced later one when a better quality image appears for yellow toad though. Pichufan93

Blue and Yellow Toad's Nicknames

http://www.destructoid.com/nsmb-wii-release-bash-bucken-berry-and-ala-gold--155242.phtml

According to the article, the nicknames of the Blue Toad and the Yellow Toad, given to them by the development team, are Bucken-Berry and Ala-Gold.

"Yellow Toad" or "Yellow Toads"?

Are we to assume that every instance a yellow-color schemed Toad has been featured in a Mario game, it's the same one? That seems like a lot of speculation to me. Redstar 18:04, 25 November 2009 (EST)

I have no idea why this article talks about the Yellow Toad in SMS/SMG. Has there been direct evidence linking them to the same character?--Knife (talk) 00:26, 26 November 2009 (EST)

yeah that's true but for now it's best to assume for now they are the same as they reprise the same role in most games. Likewise, the toad brigade also leads speculation if they are the same from sunshine. User:Pichufan93

It's never best to assume something. It ruins the credibility of the wiki.--Knife (talk) 16:07, 26 November 2009 (EST)

I suggest we split off all other instances into a new article, either Yellow Toads or Toads (Yellow), and move this to the development nickname of "Ala-Gold". That will leave this article a little bare-bones, but I have no reason not to believe this exact character won't be used a bit later on. Redstar 20:39, 26 November 2009 (EST)

Actually, the rest of the info should be split in Toad (species) and info about the Yellow Toad in NSMBW should be kept here.-Knife (talk) 00:47, 27 November 2009 (EST)

Well people seem to like articles on just about everything here, so that would be a decent compromise. Merging with the main Toad (species) article is preferable, but, really, does coloration matter? They're just clothes, after all. I say a simple note anywhere saying "Toads dress in a variety of colors" works well enough. Redstar 00:57, 27 November 2009 (EST)

Split Article

It cannot be assumed that just because a particular Toad is wearing yellow, that every Toad wearing yellow is the same individual. That is the definition of speculation and logical fallacy. Prior to NSMBW, yellow Toads were simply generic background characters and have no real personality. Even the only quality of the Galaxy yellow Toad, of being sleepy, is not found in this new Toad. This all suggests that they are different Toads that simply share a choice in clothing color. The two should be split. As it stands now, this article is basically nothing but "A yellow Toad with no personality appeared in these games. Then, in NSMBW, a yellow Toad with a personality, a development name, and an entirely new role appeared." The two just don't mesh, so should be split.

Split article into Ala Gold

1. Redstar (talk) - Per proposal.
2. library_girl (talk) - Speculation to assume they're all the same. Per proposal

Leave joined

1. Cobold (talk) - The character has no difference from a generic yellow toad. A different development name does not matter in that way. We have many characters with alternate names, and I doubt "Yellow Toad" has ever been officially used. Development names are not really official either.
