Luigi artwork
Okay, that's fine, but why is Mario's front artwork being changed consistently for each new game released? Let me guess, it's for the exact same reasons you told me, right? All right, then. I just wanted the artwork changed, because we've already had it for a while now. 21:17, 23 November 2017 (EST)

Signature Reminder Overturn
Okay, come on, why did you overturn my reminder there? It was just a polite reminder, and nothing else. I had good reason to be concerned, right? 21:16, 4 December 2017 (EST)
 * It is undeserved as his edit count shows he edits mainspace more, and his edits to the signature are scattered enough to not be an issue. He does tend to edit his userspace a lot, but it really becomes a problem if it's consistent and/or his focus (i.e. more edits to userspace than mainspace). 21:23, 4 December 2017 (EST)
 * Okay, are you sure that is a good enough response? I'm sorry for being nitpicky, but just as a notable fact, I don't like repeated responses. But fine, you can go on and have fun with your life now. 21:25, 4 December 2017 (EST)
 * For this specific reason, the reminder is undeserved. However, if he neglects to fix the name on his signature after a few days as I told him to do so, a reminder can be issued for that as that is in violation. 21:33, 4 December 2017 (EST)
 * Okay. Sorry for being nitpicky, by the way. It can cause a lot of trouble at the wrong times if it's not managed carefully. 21:35, 4 December 2017 (EST)

He Refuses
Sorry, I just read that wrong, I thought he added a "he refuses." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:54, 8 December 2017 (EST)
 * It's fine, don't worry about it. 21:56, 8 December 2017 (EST)

Mario Party series game order
In case you forgot, here is the order of all the Mario Party games: Mario Party, Mario Party 2, Mario Party 3, Mario Party 4, Mario Party 5, Mario Party 6, Mario Party Advance, Mario Party 7, Mario Party 8, Mario Party DS, Mario Party 9, Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario Party 10, and Mario Party: Star Rush. You don't have to make too much of this, it is just a friendly reminder since you seemed to slip up there a little bit. Don't worry, I'll tell everyone else too on the talk page. 21:15, 10 December 2017 (EST)

YOU!!!
Why are you shutting down userpedia I will finish this later

BRING BACK USERPEDIA BroccollyGuy (talk) 23:51, 10 December 2017 (EST)
 * I'm not the one running Userpedia. 11:26, 11 December 2017 (EST)

Question
I was wondering if Super Mario Odyssey official was called music in game, and if so than why do you think Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions music should be listed as media (as it is called "MUSIC" when accessing it). And do you think we should add a media template to List of Super Mario Odyssey music page (no matter what's decided)? Also, I am contacting the user that made the page. 11:58, 11 December 2017 (EST)

Marachi Guy edit
I think the IP address was typing about the Sombrero Guys that appear in Paper Jam. I'm not sure if it's redundant or not, because we have this information on the Sombrero Guy article and I'm pretty sure it doesn't need a repeat on the Marachi Guy page. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 11:18, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * Is the Sombrero Guy the only one of the Marachi Guys that appears? 11:21, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * From watching videos on YouTube of both Colour Splash and Paper Jam, it is the only one. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 11:31, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * Then just the info on Sombrero Guy should be sufficient enough. 11:32, 12 December 2017 (EST)

Bowser: A Good Leader or not?
Hey, how you doing, and have I got a question for you. Do you think Bowser is a good leader of the Koopa Troop and of his soldiers and his kingdom in general? Also, why was my edit on the List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions music article reversed? Anyway, I hope you're doing well. 21:49, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * I know he definitely cares for his troops, but he may not be the smartest leader in the world. And having tennis matches with your nemesis may help with troop moral :P As for your edit, you appear to already be talking about it with . 21:53, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * Yeah, but I don't exactly understand why he reversed it still. He said that the remake's song names are what are supposed to be put in the boxes, but why can't I put in the original's song names as well? After all, it might as well be called "List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga music"; either way, I want to put in the original names in the boxes too, and I don't get what the problem is with that. 21:58, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * A List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga media page would probably work better for the original tracks. If the remakes song names are what's in the game, then that's what should be used for the Bowser's Minions page. 22:21, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * Are you sure about that? That sounds redundant when the two games, which are pretty much the same game, have the exact same soundtrack, putting aside the remixes and stuff. 22:23, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * Honestly not sure. But again, if the name in the remake is different than the original, the remake's name is used because that's what the page is based on. With the original tracks a part of the game, once they're uploaded, a track list for the original game can be discussed. 22:30, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * The only difference (in terms of in-game names) for the same song in the original and the remake is an added DX with the exception of two songs: "To Challenge!" to "Let's Kick it into High Gear" and "It's My Turn" to "Star 'Stache Smash!". There are more differences between the songs, but you know they are the same song. In terms of what they were once called, hey songs change names even in the same series. I know there are a few songs in Paper Jam that uses the same music from Dream Team. And the song "Let's Go (DX)" in the game is named "Come On!" in Paper Jam. 22:46, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * But still, why are we only focusing on the remake names and not the original names as well? I'm not asking for one or the other, I am asking for both of the names. Why can't we have both of them? Or how about this, why didn't we have a "List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga music" article in the first place for both the original and remake names? That is the question I am asking, why are we all of a sudden focused on the remake without paying any attention to the original? Let me guess, you just answered my question for me. 22:53, 12 December 2017 (EST)
 * One, it is in-game names in the remake. Two, using the remake in the name is necessary due to it being only in the remake and having songs of the remake. Three, I guess they could have alternate names so long as they are officially known. If not, then don't add it. However, since the remake songs are lower on the page, don't do it like you did, but, instead, mention the alternative names like (this was originally called "Come On!") for Let's Go. But, don't do it to the remake songs as they don't have previous names. This can't be done if a Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga media page is created. However, I strongly advice against this as it will be against Once and only once policy. 23:09, 12 December 2017 (EST)

Penultimate
That means "second from final," not "secondary." Just clearing that up. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:39, 13 December 2017 (EST)
 * I looked it up after I used it. I guess I did know what it meant at first, but I doubted myself :P 11:53, 13 December 2017 (EST)

Quote Change
Well, thanks, buddy, that was really appreciated. Okay, enough with the sarcasm, isn't Luigi as silent as Mario in the Super Mario series and all other games except the Paper Mario series? I'm not counting Fortune Street for anything, but in all Mario sub-series except Paper Mario, isn't Luigi as silent as Mario? I'll give you the edge for the Paper Mario series, but I still think he deserves to have a "silent" quote. 21:35, 14 December 2017 (EST)
 * By "discussed" I meant on Luigi's talk page, but whatever.
 * Aside from the Mario & Luigi series (where he and Mario talk in gibberish) and the Fortune Street series (where he and Mario talk in full sentences), Luigi is more talkative than Mario in just about every game they both appear in and where they talk. Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 has Luigi talking to Mario (and himself), he's very talkative in Luigi's Mansion (as can be seen with the Game Boy Horror, though barely anything in Dark Moon). No one talks much in sports games, but overall, Luigi is much more talkative than Mario is. 21:39, 14 December 2017 (EST)
 * Uh...I'm not so convinced, because I meant for the most part, but I guess I will meet you on the Luigi talk page. I've got a nice, sweet proposal coming up, or maybe not, but yeah, I still think he's as silent as Mario, if only a little bit more talkative. It's not that much of a difference, just a little. 21:43, 14 December 2017 (EST)

Block
Hi, shouldn't you have revoked this IP's talk page access as well, since that's the only page they've extensively edited? 13:59, 18 December 2017 (EST)
 * I believe that's only an option for accounts, not anonymous users, as it's not giving me that option. They appear to be blocked from editing in general. 14:05, 18 December 2017 (EST)

Redirects
Okay, got it. I recreated the page because it felt inconsistent with every other level's name and article, and so I wanted to keep the consistency, but fine, whatever works is whatever works. 00:06, 19 December 2017 (EST)

RE: Thanks
HDMI is better than analog interfaces (such as ) because it is digital, so no artifacts. Keep in mind that Retron consoles are reverse engineered counterparts of the official console it is based on, so mistakes could occur at runtime that would otherwise not happen on official hardware. This will likely not happen with popular titles because they are so commonly tested but more obscure titles could showcase a bug with the console. I still hope one day you are able to solve your emulator problems. If only I can see what you see, so then I can start tinkering to fix your issues. -- 10:46, 21 December 2017 (EST)
 * 3DS, there is, but it is not worth looking into. Many graphical glitches and some games refuse to boot. Same goes for the as well. It also has a steep PC requirements. However, how I submitted my screenshots for 3DS, homebrew, not emulators. Anything analog, there is some degradation. It's one reason why digital signal alternatives were developed. -- 17:16, 21 December 2017 (EST)

I see some files. Are they from an emulator? If so, why is it coming out as JPEG? -- 20:28, 16 March 2018 (EDT)
 * I thought that the Retron was for consoles, not handhelds. I guess you learn something new everyday, huh? -- 11:11, 17 March 2018 (EDT)

What do you mean?
in Bin page, there's a Megaman text on trivia.  Music Video 123  (talk) 10:56, 22 December 2017 (EST)
 * Currently a citation needed, and LinkTheLefty is the one who added the information, so I'll contact him and see what he's able to find. Otherwise, the trivia is pointless. 12:14, 22 December 2017 (EST)

Re:Bin
I must have relayed that idea from Fizzle here. It's plausible, but you're right. It's also unlikely to ever have an official source backing it up. Feel free to remove it. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:42, 22 December 2017 (EST)

FA
Hey. So I'm currently working on a media page for Mario Hoops 3-on-3, but the template:media table is not allowing me to use files uploaded with .ogg. Is there something I'm doing wrong.
 * Yea thanks I realized that just after I contacted you. I'm reuploading them as .oga and requesting deletion for the originals.

Triple Jump
Not in Mario 64, right? As far as I know, he only performs the pose in Mario Odyssey. 23:21, 26 December 2017 (EST)
 * It's in Super Mario 64. If Mario performs the Triple Jump and doesn't move upon landing, he'll have his arms outstretched and cheers. You can kind of see it in the middle pic on the Triple Jump page. 23:23, 26 December 2017 (EST)

Cole Hayes

 * Done. 12:36, 27 December 2017 (EST)

Cat Goomba Vandal
Ouch, he used the darn N-word? Uh oh, that's not good. That's just racist and dumb. Gotta watch out for that. I was going to undo his ugliness, but you did it for me anyway. 22:21, 28 December 2017 (EST)
 * Please stop talking about vandals unless you're reporting them. There's no point to bringing them up after they've been dealt with. 22:24, 28 December 2017 (EST)
 * This was racism, so that's why I'm talking about it. If you see what's happening around the world, you would know why I'd be a little on edge about that. Other vandals weren't racist, so I didn't mention them. But anyway, ignore my rambling and go on with your life as you wish. 22:28, 28 December 2017 (EST)

Fire Mario adventures
Man, wouldn't it be sweet if we, as the players, could gain Fire Flowers and just shoot fireballs as much as we want? Our lives would be a ton more adventurous and better! :) 19:57, 1 January 2018 (EST)
 * It would make life a lot more interesting, wouldn't it? I've always wanted a Wing Cap. 20:00, 1 January 2018 (EST)
 * I'd go with a Propeller Mushroom anyday if I had the choice. I could just spin up in the air and go as high as I want! Maybe get some air time jumping off the roof and other high buildings. That would be the life!!!!! 20:03, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Vote Removal
I have one week to fix them, right? And plus, can anyone help me with the tables? I'm not too experienced with fixing tables, so there's that. Also, as for the tables looking terrible on mobile devices, they seem to be as good as they can get for now, and that's all anyone can ask. 22:36, 1 January 2018 (EST)
 * That's a discussion for the 3D World unfeature page. 22:40, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Hi Alex95!!!!!
Wanna be friends my code is.

so.... you accept??

Regarding said edit on the Princess Daisy gallery page
Hey, Alex95, I noticed you still undid my edit on the Gallery: Princess Daisy page - why is that? The reason I took that out was because the said art in question itself is the same from what we saw for Mario Party 10 (which has now become her "standard" as of late). Let me know really soon, thanks. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 08:47, 5 January 2018 (EST)

Proposals
So, was it not okay for me to post that [|Yume Kojo proposal] on the main page? I'd have thought that something like deciding whether or not a game should be covered at all would be prominent enough for the main page. 19:03, 5 January 2018 (EST)
 * I was referring to the previous proposal as an example, but okay then. 19:07, 5 January 2018 (EST)

Does this also apply to proposals involving games that are listed on List of Mario references in Nintendo video games? 14:25, 7 January 2018 (EST)

Star colors
Are you sure? It can't be. I learned science, and I know my science teacher would say that blue and green are the warm colors. Art class is not a reliable source for determining the colors of stars and how hot they must be. I might search it up on Google, though. 21:38, 6 January 2018 (EST)
 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jFbFXYeqb0
 * Also, science isn't really the place to go for art advice. In terms of fire, blue would be hot (because fire), but otherwise, it's a cool color. 21:41, 6 January 2018 (EST)
 * This isn't art we're talking about, this is science. Stars aren't art, they're science, and science says, blue is warm and red is cool. 21:56, 6 January 2018 (EST)
 * I am so unfocused right now. I misunderstood the point. My bad.
 * While there are varying degrees of fire, there isn't one you could really classify as "cool". This is fire after all. Blue is definitely hotter than red, though. 22:02, 6 January 2018 (EST)

New year, new you, same criticwarning
03:03, 8 January 2018 (EST)

Text
Just to make sure you know, it's Chinese. 18:17, 9 January 2018 (EST)
 * That's what I meant :P. 18:21, 9 January 2018 (EST)

SMB3 Sky Land
Hey Alex, do you have the original version? Because I tried it on the All Star Versions (Wii, but should be the same) and that's not the case. It is the case before you changed it. So, unless you can prove that it is that way in the original, we should have the one before you change it. If it is that way, both should be mentioned. 12:14, 10 January 2018 (EST)
 * I remember going back and forth on the Tower to see if I had to go through the whole thing in the Advance version, though tbh, my memory is blurred, so I'll double check. Don't currently have access to the original or All-Stars version, so maybe I can find a video on those. If not, it may take a while. 12:17, 10 January 2018 (EST)
 * I don't remember much of the play I did for Advance, but I'm pretty sure that it is the same as All Star Version I tested it on. Which, you have to replay the level again if you go back to the ground, but if you go to the Pipe/Tower by mistake, you can fall down and go back to the sky with the cost of a life. 12:22, 10 January 2018 (EST)
 * Okay, double checked Advance and it looks like my memory has failed my. The Warp Pipe from the sky takes you to a small segment, but you have to replay the Tower from the ground. Apologies, I will change it back. 12:30, 10 January 2018 (EST)

Hey
Whoa, I really like what you just added to your User Page. Would you mind if I steal your idea and use it on mine as well?
 * Yeah sure go ahead! It's not like the coding is owned by me or anything :) 17:20, 10 January 2018 (EST)
 * Awesome. Thanks a lot I appreciate it.

Re:Character Categories
From what I can glean from the pages, they aren't actually characters, hence why I'm swapping in the general tags (since the games don't have specific species categories). 20:07, 11 January 2018 (EST)
 * I'll defer to your logic, then. 20:12, 11 January 2018 (EST)

Legend of Zelda
I know "the" is part of the title, but a phrase like "the first The Legend of Zelda game" doesn't sound right imo. That's why I thought it should just be omitted. 22:57, 12 January 2018 (EST)
 * idk, even if it's grammatically correct, some instances of English will always sound weird to me. "The first Legend of Zelda" and "The first The Legend of Zelda" both sound correct to me, as "Legend of Zelda" is a shorter form whereas "The" is actually in the title. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference, but then the edits could cycle back and forth if it is. 23:51, 12 January 2018 (EST)

Question
Hey just out of curiosity, I remember there being a special page that like ranked everyone's contribution scores per week and month (and I think all time, too). Do you know why it was deleted, I used to enjoy looking at that page. It's fine if you do not know I was just wondering.
 * I don't recall such a page existing, and I'm not finding it in SpecialPages. It sounds similar to something Gamepedia and Wikia does, but it doesn't seem useful, so it was probably deleted for that reason. I see you contacted about this already, they would know more about this than I do. Otherwise,  would know more.  17:23, 13 January 2018 (EST)

MarioWiki:BJAODN comments
Yeah, got it. By the way, it can be really hard to be funny. Hope we got some good comedians on this wiki! You got a decent sense of humor in you? I hope you do. 21:28, 16 January 2018 (EST)
 * Duly noted, brother. I hope you have a good day. 21:32, 16 January 2018 (EST)

The Hilarious Confusion Maze of Sequels and Follow-ups...and unnecessarily long message topic names
On the wiki, I see articles that say that New Super Mario Bros. U, and to a lesser extent, New Super Luigi U, is the sequel to New Super Mario Bros. Wii, like Mario Bros 2 is the sequel to Mario Bros 1. Is this true, and has anyone confirmed it? 21:57, 16 January 2018 (EST)

WMOD
I still have plenty more to add, but my computer started to slow down so I posted what I have just in case :P.
 * I thought you'd post this on the main proposals page rather than my talk so everyone can see it, but okay, it looks good :P 12:10, 17 January 2018 (EST)
 * Yea sorry about that. I did, but I just wanted to show you first because you requested it.

Citation needed on Nintendo Power
I don't know. I got the information from other pages in the wiki itself, not the Nintendo Power issues themselves. It's unfortunate because I really think that Wario is Mario and Luigi's cousin. 22:47, 17 January 2018 (EST)
 * We'll have to wait for someone else to find the issue then. What other pages did you find the info on? 22:49, 17 January 2018 (EST)
 * I found it on the Wario article right here, in the relationships section. You will find it somewhere there. 22:53, 17 January 2018 (EST)
 * Perhaps I'll look through what I have sometime and see what I can find. Might be in a guide somewhere. 22:56, 17 January 2018 (EST)

Order of navigation templates
I elaborated on my oppose vote on this proposal, which I think you might want to comment on, especially regarding the last point. 16:05, 18 January 2018 (EST)
 * I'm already voting for the point. 16:11, 18 January 2018 (EST)
 * Sorry, I almost didn't see your second vote there! 16:19, 18 January 2018 (EST)

RE:Userpage transclusion
I knew as soon as I saw I had a message that it had to be about that. Darn. I actually felt kind of smart for once in my life. Okay, I'll go ahead and take it down, butI'll look into this matter a bit more. This kind of thing is useful for people like me with insanely long userbox towers, so I want to know the details. Anyway, thanks for the alert. 20:47, 22 January 2018 (EST)

RE:M+RKB Buttons
As for the manual descriptions, I'm fine if they're added on, as long as they as are added along with the descriptions the wiki provides, since sometimes (not saying these descriptions have too many errors, but) official descriptions can have mistakes as to what they describe. As for the images, no, that actually violates consistency, and it's just easier to use since the template's more versatile and can handle some situations that the button images can't.  17:14, 23 January 2018 (EST)
 * I never said I thought they would be used on every page. Like I said, it's easier to use the template, not just for versatility, but also for consistency with other articles. Plus, there's no policy that explicitly states that manual or in-game entries can be used by themselves when used to define things like controls; they usually need informative text to go along with it.  17:38, 23 January 2018 (EST)

Hudson Mario Sourcing
Just wanted to ask about sourcing direct developer information. As you can see here: https://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=39544.0. I've been able to get information about version releases from Imatani San, a guy who worked on ads for Hudson during the development of their Mario games. So far, he has told of the existence and planning of other versions of the games, their release months (though a bit questionable, as I explain), and more information is still to come. My question is, how do I source this information, once it's confirmed completely by Imatani? Mariomaster86 (talk) 12:19, 25 January 2018 (EST)

Castle Tree
According to the textures resource, that is actually how they appear in the game's files. Also, I assume you meant "fat" not "flat," because it's obviously a texture.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:02, 26 January 2018 (EST)
 * That's how the texture actually is? Well, then that means that the texture is stretched vertically in the game. Like, compare the texture to the tree in this screenshot. Weird. And by "flat" I meant like "squished". 16:09, 26 January 2018 (EST)
 * See for yourself. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:14, 26 January 2018 (EST)
 * That 1-Up Mushroom XD
 * Wow, I didn't realize what sort of tricks the devs use for textures. Making the coins grey and just applying a colored texture over them is neat, but stretching a tree and shrinking a mushroom seem like unnecessary steps, imo. 16:18, 26 January 2018 (EST)
 * They give them more detail for a smaller space. Due to the facts that each point on these graphics no longer occupies just a single point on the screen, as they can be squashed, stretched, and rotated at will, technically all the "tall"-looking ones are stretched in the final. It gives them detail without taking up as much space as having them be twice that size, which would use more memory. Also, this was one of the first times, so, it makes sense...while you're at it, check out how they did the Thwomps in Mario Kart 64 here. And yes, note the complete lack of a green variant, although it was verified it was just the lamp discoloring it when an old emulator I was using to play without a TV glitched and gave the Thwomps weird textures on the sides, and they were all tinted yellow for that specific Thwomp... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:24, 26 January 2018 (EST)
 * So it was all due to detail. That's interesting! Pretty cool to see what skills devs and artists used to get the most out of the system. I wonder what I'm able to pull off with RPG Maker... 16:33, 26 January 2018 (EST)

Insano
Sorry for butting in (he doesn't seem to be online), but that's a word like "weirdo" or "rando," ie a slang description of someone as used as a noun. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:12, 5 February 2018 (EST)
 * Never heard of that before (obviously), and all Google gives me is a water slide in Brazil. I figured it was a typo, but I need to play the game again anyway :P 13:17, 5 February 2018 (EST)

RE:Bowser quote
I have no way of getting all of Bowser's quotes from throughout the game other than playing it again, so I'm not sure. i can't find a single video of Bowser against Brobot L-type, so I can't confirm or deny that he said that. 13:24, 5 February 2018 (EST)

Proposal
Any suggestions on how to increase awareness of the Gary proposal? 12:32, 8 February 2018 (EST)
 * I think all that can be done has been done. Give it time, it's only been up a day. 12:36, 8 February 2018 (EST)

Hello again. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I may not have time to close and archive the proposal on the 22nd. Should I not be able to, may I ask you to take care of it? I would also like to request that the proposal not be enacted even if I can't get around to it right away. What I'm asking may be standard procedure anyway, but I wanted to make sure. 11:19, 18 February 2018 (EST)
 * Yeah, I can take care of things that day (or someone else will). The proposal will be added to the list of unimplemented proposals, but you're the one that made the proposal, so you'll be the one to create the page should it pass. 11:24, 18 February 2018 (EST)

RE:Revision text
It was a reference to the "Omae wa mou shindeiru" meme, which that person reminded me of with what they wrote. Plus, it fit in the context because the person was a vandal who most likely had to deal with the admins later on. NANI?! -- 00:59, 2 March 2018 (EST)

Hey, I see that you are cleaning up and rewording the edits and contributions I make. Thanks, it's appreciated!

A few questions
I have a few questions: If you have any answers or know someone who can answer theese questions, please reply CosmicBowser (talk) 01:37, 5 March 2018 (EST)
 * 1) what is the template name for the user info box, NOT the userbox
 * 2) how do I use a file from a different URL (a GSF insignia from google images, respectively, as it is diffucult to draw and I cant upload files due to a problem with my web browser being old and unsupported)
 * 3) what am I allowed to put in my userbox like edit score or likes/dislikes

Discussion tab issue
Discussion continued from here.

I viewed the talk page by clicking the link at Recent Changes, then viewed the page to see whether or not it was worth deleting, then saw that the discussion tab was red, despite the fact that I had already seen the page. Clciking the red tab still linked me to the discussion page. This has happened before. Both times were cases in which the talk page had been created minutes or moments ago. 10:12, 7 March 2018 (EST)
 * Hm, probably was a cache issue then. Weird. Let me know if it happens again, because that may mean there's a bigger issue. 10:31, 7 March 2018 (EST)

RE: Disambiguation pages
Thanks for tagging those pages! Yeah, it almost didn't occur to me that Mario vs. Donkey Kong had eight levels per world. Hopefully we can get those deleted soon so that other pages can properly be added there. 15:40, 8 March 2018 (EST)

Hey, what I missed?
I was working on a typography assignment while the direct occurred, what was there? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:16, 8 March 2018 (EST)
 * Additional Mario Tennis Aces info, Luigi's Mansion 3DS remake, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker 3DS and Switch port, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey for some reason, WarioWare Gold for Switch, and Smash for Switch (regarding just the Mario stuff). 18:18, 8 March 2018 (EST)
 * Well unless they went into further details about the Hyrule Warriors thing or had a new Zelda game, those will be all I care about. Thanks! Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:29, 8 March 2018 (EST)
 * Hyrule Warriors was announced to be released this Spring, and Breath of the Wild Link will be in the next Smash. 18:30, 8 March 2018 (EST)
 * Well, hopefully Breath of the Wild hasn't permanently ruined the series. They had it pretty good with Skyward Sword... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:32, 8 March 2018 (EST)

SMB2
Well, the original SMB and the Lost Levels, Super Mario Land, and NSMBDS didn't feature flight powerups and they aren't neccessary as not all 2D Mario platformers have to have them. The Fire Flower has been the common staple since SMB1. Flight powerups were introduced in SMB3 and SMB2 was released before SMB3. Shooting projectiles is the common staple, not flight power-ups.--199.7.157.121 18:54, 11 March 2018 (EDT)

The Fire Flower is used as an example as it is the most prominent projectile power-up as it was intoduced in SMB1. It's not meant to be vague.--199.7.157.121 19:21, 11 March 2018 (EDT)

There are exclusions added such as being strictly focused on the 2D Super Mario games and not the 3D ones which are different. Every 2D Mario platformer has an invincibility powerup. The biggest problem though is that SMB2 was released before SMB3 and SMB3 is next title so it wouldn't feel right to include flight power-ups on an article that talks about a game prior to SMB3.--199.7.157.121 20:32, 11 March 2018 (EDT)

PowerUp Panel Tool
Hi Alex. What do you mean by "fangame"? It's a tool to help find the correct panel and not a game.

Ghost Rider page
Is referencing the Ghost Rider?  Music Video 123  (talk) 08:57, 15 March 2018 (EDT)
 * I'm not sure. The two only share a name, everything else is completely different. 11:17, 15 March 2018 (EDT)

Re:Lightning
While they are certainly a different thing, the fact that "it's a lightning-based thingy that shrinks your opponents" is too similar to be coincidental, so it must be a reference. Can you name a single other instance of lightning causing that effect in any franchise? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:09, 15 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Then more than likely they're all based off of the Mario Kart one. Outside of Mario, when has lightning turned someone flea-sized? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:20, 15 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Seems every bit as deliberate to me as having the Shy Guys throw turnips. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:38, 15 March 2018 (EDT)

Cherbil
I suggest you look at their tattle. It's pretty blatant, particularly when O'Chunks mentions them later. Of course, it could be a Woolseyism thing. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:49, 15 March 2018 (EDT)
 * "Some say it comes from elsewhere" implies they have butts, not that they look like one. What does O'Chunks say? Okay, didn't notice the trivia at first. Heh, alright, but the original wording is still funny to me. Saying they are "Apparently based on a pair of buttocks" sounds speculative. Do you have a better wording in mind? 22:53, 15 March 2018 (EDT)
 * They don't need to be implied to look like butts when they do, and gas is coming from between the....indented area. Anyways, I think that noting the implication of Tippi's comment at the end of the current trivia might work. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:00, 15 March 2018 (EDT)

Baby Wario.

Hoards and hoards of revisions and log entries waiting to be deleted
This will definitely take a while to complete (no joke!), but if and when you have enough time, here are the contributions of an old, now-blocked user, where some of the page-move revisions' summaries might need to be deleted for gross and defamatory content. I'm not sure if you can hide move log entries the same way you can for block log entries, but it might be advisable to delete those too. Thanks! 17:42, 20 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Trying to see if an admin can delete the necessary ones en mass, but if not, maybe I'll get around to it at some point eventually. Though considering they're from 2009, it's not a high priority. 18:56, 20 March 2018 (EDT)

"Super Mario Maker is not part of the main series"
It is according to the official Mario Portal. Which is the same main source we use to say that the first Yoshi's Island game isn't. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:16, 21 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Well, we don't usually list it as such. Not even on the Super Mario (series) page. Though the source we have on that seems to be outdated... 22:20, 21 March 2018 (EDT)
 * It, the "Land" games, and Run should really be listed as part of the main series, instead of arbitrarily referred to as "secondary" games. It's pretty obvious the reason that the "Land" games weren't included in the 25th anniversary list is that the items were given commentary by Miyamoto, Kondo, and Tezuka (if memory serves me correctly), who were not on the team who made the "Land" games. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:28, 21 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Considering how they are grouped on the official site now, the list should probably be updated. Though that should be discussed fully elsewhere. 22:33, 21 March 2018 (EDT)
 * I started a convo on the series talk page months ago, but people kept unintentionally obfuscating things with less-direct sources. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:45, 21 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Might be time to start a new one then. 23:15, 21 March 2018 (EDT)

Daisy's Amount of Appearances
You and that other user are coming up with these arguments about how we don't say something like this for other characters as a defense against the information. But you can't apply this statement to other characters, that's why it's noteworthy to Daisy. Daisy appearing in so many video-games, especially with so many playable appearances, and being a female character, is the kind of thing they put in the Guinness world record books. They may have even done so for Peach already if I recall. UhHuhAlrightDaisy (talk) 14:40, 22 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Uh, Peach has appeared in 97, actually. That's 17 more than Daisy, so that is no meager amount, comparatively. It's odd to me you're now saying, "That's Peach. This is Daisy. Comparing the amount of games Daisy is in to Peach's amount of appearances is unnecessary," when your main argument against this was how we could then say this type of thing for other characters, but we couldn't, anyway. Daisy is the one female video-game character in the world with the most video-game appearances... aside from Peach. If someone were to figure out Mario has the most appearances of any character, that's one thing. If someone wants to state Peach actually has the most, that's another. If Luigi had the most aside from Mario, that's significant, too. I agree if you're going to try to say something outlandish like, "Yoshi has the most appearances of any video-game dinosaur," that's random and not significant. Culture regards female videogame characters to an obviously different regard. It's significant to Daisy because there are no other female characters aside from the obvious, Peach. It's not focusing on comparing her to Peach, though, so I don't know why you're focusing in on this in regards to other characters. From the start this has been about information about Daisy. We clearly don't agree. I clearly am not about to get the other user to agree with me. However, " With the frequent release of Mario installments, Daisy has been in over 60 video games so far, the most of any female character besides Princess Peach." I feel like this information is still fine, then, aside from the last part we disagree about. Is there actually anything wrong with stating how many games she's been in so far? UhHuhAlrightDaisy (talk) 15:24, 22 March 2018 (EDT)
 * "In that case, maybe say the correct number then? "80" is more than "60" after all." I don't follow? What are you getting those numbers from? "Pauline, Birdo, Wendy O. Koopa, female Piantas, female Nokis, Rosalina, Hariet. And that's not including the spin-off titles." No other female characters with that many appearances, obviously. Not even just Mario characters, either. All video game characters. "She has a name, you know. No need to be rude." That's not me being rude, that's me not recalling that other user's name. No need to micromanage intentions like that. "Why don't we put how many games every character has been in on their pages? In theory, it seems like good information to have in an infobox section maybe, but again, it should be discussed." That part of it is simple information that would be a part of her intro section. It doesn't have to be some approved guideline followed on everyone's page. It could be, and like you said that could be a good thing. I'm not here to start a proposal to reformat the wiki. I used to do that all the time and it's always more trouble than it's worth. Like you said, that part of it doesn't seem to be a problem, and as that's not what that other user kept focusing in on, either, hopefully it's fine that I add it back in without the latter part you two have focused in on so intently.

Two things

 * 1) May I format the Worlds table on the Mario vs. Donkey Kong article so that it looks like the level tables of other MvDK pages?
 * 2) Over at DKWiki, I saw the proposal to merge the two wikis. The proposal, so far, seems to come to a positive conclusion. I want to help by pointing out some pages that have more information or better information on the DKWiki than their Mario Wiki counterparts have: Bonus Level, Funky's Fishing and Crosshair Cranky. But what's going to become of pages that are equally good between sites? It would be a pity to simply destroy them. -- 07:06, 27 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Hey, thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware of the M&W levels. And about the MvDK worlds table--my pleasure to help. Hope to see images in it soon! I feel good that work on the MvDK articles have gotten much more traction lately. -- 17:32, 29 March 2018 (EDT)

Another revert on the Princess Daisy article...
Yo, Alex95; I just noticed that you reverted another legitimate edit of mine again on the Princess Daisy article. I was not intending to actually repeat information denoting Daisy's current "traditional sports outfits" making their debut in the Mario series overall; it was just to simply say that Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour was the installment that had said traditional sports outfits for Daisy make their debut (while making sure to link to the detailed section about it below, which I do agree is necessary for more explanation). Hope you understand. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 10:06, 27 March 2018 (EDT)

RE: Test templates
I already thought about transcluding a userpage, but because I anticipated the template being deleted as soon as it was created, I just went with the namespace designed for transclusion, to make absolutely sure my test would work. -- 17:14, 30 March 2018 (EDT)
 * Modifying my existing userpages was undesirable, so creating a new userpage that would have been tagged for deletion would have been done anyways. I just decided to change it to a template. This is a one time deal. It won't be done again. Since userpages are protected by other users, I'm shocked that I can't delete my own pages too, just to save the hassle. When the page I created does get deleted, it will delete records in Special:RecentChanges, so there is benefit to creating a new page. -- 17:32, 30 March 2018 (EDT)

RE:Helicopter "Yoshi"
Yeah, but this had a pass last year, no? Anyway, got it. Won't happen again. -- 14:47, 1 April 2018 (EDT)
 * What you said is completely understandable. After I made that joke, I told Glowsquid about it on the forum because I wanted to assure control over it. I knew there was a possibility other users would joke around in the main space too, and I wanted to avoid taking part in a fiasco that would had hurt the wiki's April Fools tradition. I think the notice at the top of the page should read "Please refrain from editing main space articles." next year! -- 15:28, 1 April 2018 (EDT)

SUPREME
Can non-Pie-related joke proposals be archived? 13:38, 2 April 2018 (EDT)
 * No, sorry. Pie proposals have a history with the site, so I think ones made by admins (specifically ) are archived. The others were more of a "let the users mess around" kind of thing. 13:42, 2 April 2018 (EDT)


 * That's what I figured. Pie must be remembered and honored. Thanks.

NIWA Links
Since Donkey Kong: Banana Kingdom‎ and Donkey Kong: Jungle Fever‎ are also covered on DKWiki, I would think they would want an article on Triforce, since they are covering other hardware. Maybe editors are unaware or don't want it? You are a member there. See what they think. Same goes for Rumble Pak on LylatWiki and MetroidWiki. -- 13:57, 3 April 2018 (EDT)
 * Given Reboot (talk) 13:58, 3 April 2018 (EDT)


 * 1) Maybe, but the "If the page exists or is a wanted page on another wiki" line makes the link there from here unnecessary.
 * 2) The DKWiki is currently undergoing a discussion on merging with the Super Mario Wiki. Until a decision is reached (looking positive at the moment), I don't think anymore pages should be added.
 * 13:59, 3 April 2018 (EDT)
 * It would be kind of sad that DKWiki close up shop. I hope it doesn't, which it sounds like it won't, based on Alex95's reaction. -- 14:06, 3 April 2018 (EDT)

On a side note, for the IPv4 range you just blocked, wouldn't it be better to narrow the range down just to 5.40.210.0/24? The "Enemies" section falsifier seems to be limited to just that range. Just a thought. 15:30, 5 April 2018 (EDT)
 * No other account came up in the range check other than the other IP that was used a few days ago. So I don't see a need to narrow it down. 15:32, 5 April 2018 (EDT)

Red Bob-ombs
With the exception of Super Mario Galaxy 2, Bob-omb Buddies have never been red, and always bright pink, and SMG2 itself is a borderline case. Anyways, they're always helpful NPCs and never enemies. This seems more like a case similar to the smaller, keyless Bob-ombs (which were purple in remakes) from SMB3, ie a simple color differentiation that's not intended to link to other games. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:46, 9 April 2018 (EDT)
