If I may suggest this...I was thinking that maybe we should add folders with tropes for Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Bowser. Three of the four of them fill very different roles than the ones they do in most Mario games, even in the Paper Mario ones, and something about the page feels empty, or lacking, when it doesn't provide insight into their actual significance and their connections to these other characters that we do have listed.
Is it me, or has the "Blumiere's Father" folder become a little overstuffed? It seems like contributors are listing every trope under the sun that even remotely describes how evil he is, even though he doesn't really play a major role in the game, nor do we know that much about him. (Which is also noted, via We Hardly Knew Ye.) Things like Unwitting Instigator of Doom or Fantastic Racism or Parental Marriage Veto are fine, but then there's ones like Archnemesis Dad, Lack of Empathy, Fatal Flaw, Knight Templar, Vile Villain, Saccharine Show?
Is this a character that we need to analyze like this? We only view him through the context of Blumiere and Timpani's relationship - we have no idea what kind of person he was otherwise or how he compares to the other members of the Tribe of Darkness.
Removed from main page, as there is a cleanup effort on one of the pages linked here underway and I am not sure what to do with this entry:
- The Jester: Constantly demonstrates a barbed sense of humor, and is as likely to harass his fellow villains as the protagonists when it strikes him as funny. He's a total sociopath who wants to take over the multiverse just because he can, and he gets the job done with style men can only dream of.
