This is quite possibly the biggest disambiguation on the entire wiki. Nintendo got really lazy when it came to their ghost characters, huh? This isn't a case of the English localizers slacking off, either: I've counted a total of four creatures that are all named either named yūrei (ユーレイ, the Japanese equivalent of our ghosts) or obake (オバケ, sometimes used as a synonym for yurei), and there's also the unnamed ghost from Wario Land 4 who is referred to as a yūrei.
Now, some of these have scraped by for having some semblance of creative design, like WL4's ghost being a pirate and stuff, and the Yoshi's Story ghost being... unique, let's put it that way. However, the Wario Land II enemy ghost and the DK series' ghost are pretty clearly intended to just be generic ghosts, based on the combination of confirmed generic names and (in my opinion) unremarkable appearance, similar to how Zombies are little more than just that - zombies.
With that laid out, my intent with this proposal is to try to merge these with the Luigi's Mansion series ghost page, since those games use a similar stock concept for ghosts. It just so happens that there are a lot of types of ghosts in that franchise. The end result would be a ghost page, similar to what we have already for frogs, and the disambiguation here would go to Ghost (disambiguation)
