::How does that apply here? This isn't a matter of "was Giant Kirby ever notable", it's "there's nothing more special about Giant Kirby than the plethora of other giant characters you fight in Smash single-player", and the scant of relevant information about him is contained within the associated single-player modes articles.

:::This is perhaps not the best example I admit. Giant Kirby certainly has the least importance compared to Giant Bowser (same deal really), the Kirby team (unique mechanic that other teams don't have), and the Yoshi Team (shaped the lore of Yoshi in not only Smash Bros. but the Mario series itself). But this certainly ''is'' a question of historical notability. At the time we had little/no way of knowing whether there was a mechanical difference between SSB64's Giant DK and SSBM's Giant Kirby. In the context of the time, there was every reason to believe they had equal importance, and the wiki editors behaved accordingly.
