Talk:Unlucky Space

Bad Luck Spaces

Bad Luck Spaces have a function significantly different from Unlucky Spaces in previous games, so maybe...split instead? ^(T|C) 12:03, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

They have the same Japanese though. -- FanOfYoshi 12:04, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

Having the same Japanese name does not qualify for a merge by itself. ^(T|C) 18:13, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

I agree, the Bad Luck Spaces are a lot more similar to Bowser Spaces than Unlucky Spaces. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 21:05, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

Split Bad Luck Space and Extra Bad Luck Space

This stems from the discussion above.

Throughout all three games they appear in, Unlucky Spaces simply cause something bad to happen to the player who landed on it. Bad Luck Spaces, on the other hand, are more like successors to Bowser Spaces from previous games, as they force the player to spin an event roulette; also, as Mario jc pointed out, they even have different Japanese names from each other. I was considering splitting this out already, but Mario jc suggested I just start a proposal anyways to ensure everyone is on board with the split (as well as my previous undiscussed split of VS Space and Minigame Space).

Split; cover Bad Luck Space and Extra Bad Luck Space in separate articles

1. Toadette the Achiever (talk) My preferred option.
2. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) Second choice.
3. FanOfYoshi (talk) Read my comments.

Split; cover Bad Luck Space and Extra Bad Luck Space in the same article

1. Waluigi Time (talk) It's clearly closer to the Bowser Space than the Unlucky Space, so it really shouldn't be covered here. I don't think the Bad Luck and Extra Bad Luck Spaces are different enough to warrant two articles, though.
2. TheDarkStar (talk) - Per Waluigi Time.
3. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) They're clearly different from Unlucky Spaces, but I don't think the two are really different enough to be split, as one just has worse effects.
4. Power Flotzo (talk) Per all.

Keep merged

1. FanOfYoshi (talk) JUST because they have a slightly different function, and English name does NOT mean they're not the same thing.

Comments

@FanOfYoshi Their function isn't "slightly" different from Unlucky spaces. Bad Luck Spaces are actually a lot more like Bowser Spaces.

I think there should be an option for merging this with Bowser Space. --DeepFriedCabbage 22:59, October 25, 2019 (EDT)

I could be wrong though. It could be because the other Japanese names aren't noted that i oppose, though, this is speculation. -- FanOfYoshi 02:24, October 26, 2019 (EDT)

Out of curiosity, can anyone check the filenames, even though it might spoil the filename? -- FanOfYoshi 02:37, October 26, 2019 (EDT)
