::If every enemy just replaced every other enemy in successive playthroughs of games then it would be exactly the same, but that's obviously not true. Most of the Extra Mode enemies ''only'' appear there, in the exact same spots as the enemies they replace, and differ only slightly - greatly in appearance, yes, but the behavior is not unique at all, essentially the same as the base enemies with upgraded speed or power. By splitting them up you either have pairs of articles saying the same thing with minor variations, or articles which consist of not much more than "X is like a Y but with Z. It appears in the Extra Mode." Neither is very interesting and leads to lots of very short articles.

:::You could say the same for all other enemies that act similarly to others; we'd have to cover Floaty the Drifter in the Parasol article, etc. Besides, writing styles allow for a lot of freedom in order to make either article interesting even if the enemies behave similarly, and the description of their appearane would always be entirely different. I currenlty don't see why they wouldn't deserve an article - just because they're similar to something else? That's what the "similar enemies" attribute in the infobox is for. They have unique appearances, behaviour, names and official artwork, and they're listed entirely seperately in the game's ending. There's no reason to treat them differently from other enemies, not to mention the inconsistencies and confusion it would create if certain Extra Game enemies are treated as if they were part of a different one while others (the ones that reappear in later games) are not.--[[User:Vellidragon|Vellidragon]] 12:34, 22 October 2010 (CDT) | |||
