#:'''However''', if a character simply acts as the move itself, rather than actually assisting in the attack, then the page detailing the move in question would suffice. For an example, [[Rush Coil]] would perfectly be fine to describe Rush and his origins within the ''Mega Man'' series, but because [[Chain Attack]] is based on the mechanic from {{uv|Xenoblade Chronicles}} rather than at least one specific character in question, then the page for Chain Attack would describe the mechanic itself, and the characters that cameo within the attack would get their own pages describing themselves. | #:'''However''', if a character simply acts as the move itself, rather than actually assisting in the attack, then the page detailing the move in question would suffice.

#::This would also be how someone like [[Petey Piranha]] would work; while he is a boss in Subspace, he is also a part of [[Petey Piranha (Final Smash)|Piranha Plant's Final Smash]], so detailing the move itself and the boss fight from ''Brawl'' in the same page (parroting how [[Ridley]]'s page has been treated) would be an acceptable option. | |||

I feel like a clarification on [[Master Spirits]] is due. Unlike most spirits they act as assistants you can interact with in spirit mode, even having lines of dialogue. As such I think that they might warrant a page, but I can see arguments for them not having one.

:People are arguing against the inclusion of assistants in Smash Tour, since they're essentially the same as the overworld Spirits, and don't offer anything outside of that (aside from the obvious Spirit battle bonus, but semantics). However, if Smash Tour assistants (and, by extension, overworld Spirits) got pages, I could see Master Spirits getting a page too, since they are as important gameplay-wise as the other two.

Bumping this. I'd like to bring up again the topic mentioned right above this comment, in regards to Smash Tour items, and both overworld and Master Spirits; a level of consistency would have to be reached, since it shouldn't really be one or the other.
