Revision as of 17:34, 1 May 2013
If you want to know where I got the unmasked pic of Pantissimo II I got it from a game hacker known as Girrrtacos. He ripped the in game model of him. (In case you think it's fake.) Mcoolister ( T & C )

There's only one in-game instance of the word "Marathon", and that's on the records listing ("Marathon time:"). Therefore he's never referred to as the Marathon Man.

Dashing Man is the Running Man
I can confirm that page 115 of the official ALttP guide actually has a whole subsection about the "Running Man", and names him as such with capital letters and all. Meaning that the Running Man from OoT is presumably a reference to the original Running Man in ALttP, so I'm suggesting a merge here. Fizzle 06:49, 21 December 2011 (EST)

Split?
The ALttP Running Man should be split into a separate article, since it looks nothing like the OoT one. I don't care if the OoT Running Man is a reference to him, that still doesn't make them the same character, just like Malon and Marin aren't the same character. - Dere 17:34, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
