Given recent rulings on "real-world" species articles (cow, elephant, horse, dog, etc.), this page is ripe for being overhauled. I'd suggest splitting off mountain goat for the MK7 info, keeping the Thing sticker info here, and nixing the rest, as one's a generic background element, and none of these previous proposals have kept mentions of WarioWare stuff anyways.

Split Mountain goat from this page

Per mine and Doc von Schmeltwick's comments above. If you're wondering why this looks so generic, let me just clear up that this is about splitting the Mario Kart 7 stage obstacle from this page. Taxonomically speaking, mountain goats are not true goats, instead being more closely related to antelopes and gazelles. It's not like the games necessarily treat mountain goats and true goats as the same thing anyways. That said, I think we should split Mountain goat from Goat.

Support

  1. Toadette the Achiever (talk) Per my proposal.
  2. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) The only consistent thing here is that they're colloquially identifiable as goats, but as mentioned, they are only related close enough to all be even-toed ungulates with horns. Also one's a racing obstacle and one's an off-kilter item.

Oppose

  1. Bazooka Mario (talk) I don't think splitting two animals based only on a real-life technicality is really worth the trouble. The obstacle's information on the page is fine.
  2. Waluigi Time (talk) The goats already covered by this page seem fairly generic to me. If anything, all non-Mario Kart 7 information should be removed and then this page could be renamed.
