Mentioning previous appearances

Should we mention, or even list the games that costumes previously appeared in? It could look something like this for Bowser (plus the color column, but I don't know how to make that):

Color	Description	Previous Appearances
Default
Black
Yellow	Yellow body and dull yellow shell. Prior to the official release, it was shown with a purple shell, which resembled when Bowser is poisoned in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Also resembles the gold bowser statue from Super Mario World.	New
Green	Based on an alternate costume in Mario Golf. Similar to Bowser's color in Super Mario World, in the DIC Entertainment cartoons and in the Nintendo Comics System series.	New
Gray	Slightly resembles Dry Bowser and has a similar color scheme to Morton Koopa Jr.'s classic appearance.
Orange	Resembles the color scheme of Bowletta. Although her hair is actually red, she has pink horns matching the hair color.	New
Red	Based on an alternate costume in Mario Golf.
Blue	Based on the color scheme of the fake Bowser in World 8-4 in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.	New

Debatable. Some characters have costumes similar but not identical to old ones, so there'd inevitably be issues about how much they have to match. Can't tell if the benefits outweigh the hassle involved. Miles (talk) 17:15, 24 January 2015 (EST)

Yeah I don't really see the benefit with this. I feel it veers into "who wants to know this" territory. Toomai Glittershine The Incomprehensible 18:34, 24 January 2015 (EST)

Well, I can see how it could be a bit tedious figuring out anything, but we do list what's returning from previous games and what's new for pretty much everything besides trophies, as far as I know. Would there be another place to put that information? 72.15.80.185 21:21, 24 January 2015 (EST)
