Talk:Mario's helicopter

Article seems unnecessary

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

This article is about two completely unconnected, unnamed helicopters that both happen to be owned by Mario. Need I say more? This article has even less of a reason to exist than Donkey Kong's cage in DK Junior, an arguably more pervasive plot element that doesn't even have an article for... hopefully obvious reasons. It says something that even in the anarchic early days of MarioWiki, nobody seemed to have thought to make an article for Mario's helicopter. This is really stretching the exceptions given in the generic subject policy. DrippingYellow (talk) 12:59, June 7, 2024 (EDT)

If we cannot have Luigi Blimp then no one will have this one either. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 13:19, June 7, 2024 (EDT)

To be fair, the crane thing arguably makes it fall outside of generic-subject coverage... LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:25, June 7, 2024 (EDT)

I suppose, but the claw is only present in Wario Land. The Donkey Kong Jr. helicopter is pretty clearly just a scrunched-up interpretation of standard helicopter lifting. I guess it's not "generic", but it still seems like a Princess Peach's voice-type situation where its entire relevance to the plot is that it shows up briefly at the end, takes the Peach statue, and runs.
