You don't need to make a talk page post for each article, the conjecture notice already brings that to users' attention. Mario JC 22:02, October 13, 2021 (EDT)

Mega?

Forgive me if I'm missing something, but shouldn't this be a Mega Mole? Compare the artist's depiction of "Mega" Monty Mole and Indy/Mega Mole - the former just looks like a larger version of Monty Mole, just maybe with more ruffled whiskers, while the latter has lighter fur and, in this panel, a very similar expression.

Well Choropūko appeared in volume 23 and the last time a Mega Mole appeared in Super Mario-kun was with Pakkun Mogera from volume 9 (which was made from normal Monty Moles). With Mega Moles, Super Mario-kun always gives them their long nose, even when the one in volume 6 was shrunken into a "Monty Mole". Choropūko has a Monty Mole mouth just like Super Choropū. And Mega Moles were never used in Super Mario-kun after volume 9. There was a 7 year gap between volumes 9 and 23 so they probably made Choropūko an ordinary larger Monty Mole (like Super Choropū) due to Mega Moles not being used anymore. Another thing, Choropūko and the later Pūko from volume 46 have very similar names, I just wanted to point that out. That is what I think at least.

The thing is the snouts don't always seem to be consistent in manga art, at least from what I see; in the first volume of Super Mario-kun, neither character has the distinct Mega Mole nose, and if anything, Super Choropū is one of the few depictions (if not the only) actually fitting in line with the guidebook "boss of the Choropoo" description. The moles' fur shade seems to also be something that changes on a whim between volumes. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:28, December 5, 2021 (EST)
