Merge?

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Upon reflection, does anyone else think that this ought to be merged back with Iggy Koopa#Yoshi's Safari? Besides being modeled after a Blooper, there isn't really much to be said about this boss machine over the various Koopalings' unnamed mechs. Further, the name for this only comes from Super Mario-kun - the KC Deluxe adaptation doesn't reuse this name, even when going over the in-game boss bios, which just refer to the Koopalings.

If the other Koopalings' mechs don't have articles, I don't see a reason for this to be an exception if it was only named in an adaptation. 14:14, July 30, 2022 (EDT)

It seems like a named entity so I don't see the issue with a page. It should have information from Super Mario-kun however, which it doesn't. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:22, July 30, 2022 (EDT)

Sure, but my point is that an obscure name being the sole factor that sets it apart from the other Koopaling boss machines results in pretty inconsistent coverage. LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:26, July 31, 2022 (EDT)

All right, so maybe if we can figure out if the other robot things have names in the manga then we can decide what to do with the page. If we had easy access to the thing.... Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 15:30, July 31, 2022 (EDT)

I snagged a few volumes from I think MontyMoleLoreMaster (I'm pretty sure the link was down last I checked, but you may be able to find copies if you start there). The Yoshi's Safari adaptation is mostly contained in volume 9, right? Ludwig also shows up without a name for his machine (Bowser's is another Mekakuppa but only in the chapter title); however, Iggy actually pilots some other small vehicle while he watches King Gessō fight separately, unlike KC Deluxe where he directly pilots it from within like the game indicates.
