New Mario game in the E3

I've seen that Nintendo will probably make a new Mario game (including a New TLOZelda and a Wii Fit sequel) found here [1]. The possible new games will be shown in the E3 of june. ¢oincoll€ctor It could be just a speculation, but the Wii Fit sequel has been confirmed by now.

Its not very explicative... But its good ™ i remembered Paper MArio DS

#mw-shroom

It cant be accessed in the MW Applet or any other chat devide except Mibbit. Can someone fix this? ™ Kinda urgent

Actual research on Mario gravity physics

Well, this is funny. I just found out an article about the Mario gravity physics back in Kotaku, grabbing a few resources for me to utilize fully. ...This is when I stumbled upon this. :O Here's the link. Acceleration Due to Gravity: Super Mario Brothers

Any comments would be welcome here. :o RAP... When the wiki's that lazy, I bet this section would not likely be removed. ;o

I wonder how people have time for that. - Consider all the different gravity elements in Super Mario Galaxy. Some of them make Mario jump even higher than before to simulate "low gravity". - Cobold (talk · contribs) 07:36, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

interesting..... I wonder the gravity compared to our own. [[Lu-igi board]] 11:50, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

@Cobold: As far as I know, such things are usually made by intellectual people for (pseudo)science fun, it isn't to be taken really seriously. ;-) Like the German Donaldist (Donald Duck researcher) who created the map of Duckburg within 13 years (German article), or the Donaldism in general. --Grandy02 12:02, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

I know it's just for fun. I remember reading a German book about how Donald Duck should be rated 18 because of all the crimes being committed in the comic books. They took a quite judicial approach on that, and the Mario "scientific research" of the gravity sounds exactly like that. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:19, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

Suggestions

I'm not even much of a active member here, so not really my place to make suggestions. But nonetheless...

1) Most wikis (including the one that I'm an admin of) have their main page protected. Because, during a vandal strike the main page is usually a target. So, unless someone has already protected this one, it would be a good idea to do so.
2) Also, have you ever considered a bot to welcome new users? —Mandi (T) 17:11, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

Our main page is protected. And a bot isn't a real person. When a real person welcomes another user, it means more than when a bot does it. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Problems with the site?

Has anyone else been getting a database error message? 09MurphyM 14:35, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

Sometimes the server goes down, but eventually, it fixes itself. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Rename Pages

Um, how do you rename a page already created? Can only sysops and above do that? Cause once some new Mario games come out, I want to change the Japaneese names to their English names.

Yoshi Boo 118He He...BOO!

You click the "move" tab next to the "history" tab. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Move question

Well, first, CONGRATS TO OUR 10,000th USER!! an next, my question. If a chat channel is moved, is its stuff also moved? (access list, GameServ, preferences, etc) ™ HAI!

Polls and images

Why Does it take so long for a new poll/featured image to be put on? A new one appears like, every two weeks not one. YellowYoshi127 (talk) 29 June 2009

The sysops are not on a regular schedule yet/any more. If we would set a day of the week to update the front page, we could update it more consistently. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 17:22, 29 June 2009 (EDT)

Template:Announcement

Can anyone add to this template that the Shroom is having a Feedback Survey? Thanks :) ™ :D

Super Smash Bros. N64 Beta

I bring up this issue here because it affects several pages and no one has cleared it up since ages. According to the article Super Smash Bros., several characters such as Peach and Bowser were planned for the game, but got cut for different reasons. However, there is no reliable source that would confirm that (it came from SmashWiki, but they don't cite their sources, either). Furthermore, Beta Elements claims the same, plus that Final Smashes were planned and that Masahiro Sakurai "has recordings of the character's voices during their Final Smash." In related sections, articles such as Bowser and Pit also claim that they were supposed to appear in the first Smash Bros. (along with a "citation needed" tag). Since no user has added citations since months, I suggest to just remove these parts as long as nobody has found a reliable source. --Grandy02 13:30, 12 July 2009 (EDT)

The final smashes being planned for the original Smash Bros., along with the recorded voices, was as far as I recall it mentioned in Iwata Asks: SSBB. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 09:07, 14 July 2009 (EDT)

Weekly Polls

The Administrative staff of the Super Mario Wiki have decided that the Weekly Polls will no longer be voted on by users. There's just way too much chaos on the Poll Selection page between duplicated poll suggestions, coding errors, biased votes, and getting a bunch of proposals that were intended to improve the polls, but never did anything. Besides, we've been getting too much focus on the polls instead of the actual wiki. We want our new members to contribute to our wiki by adding information to our articles, creating categories, etc. The overall process is just a total mess the way it is now.

Thus, every week, a new poll will be posted on the Main Page by me. — Stooben Rooben 14:52, 14 July 2009 (EDT)

Stooby: can you erase the Poll selection link from the main page?? THanks :) ™ And say that the shroom has a feedback survey in the announcement?

Done. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

thx :) --(talk) The 'Shroom 16:01, 14 July 2009 (EDT)

Could users have a preview of what's to come? Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs)

What do you mean when you say "what's to come?". Can you be more specific? YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Like Stooben Rooben could put a section on his page:"Next Week's Poll" or something like that, oh ya, can you block Stupid Mari0? (I know you can but will you please?) Marioguy1 (talk)

Maybe, you'll have to ask him. And "Stupid Mario0" is a perfectly acceptable username. If it were to contain an expletive or an offensive/discriminatory statement, then it would be unacceptable. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

You know what, disregard my statement on SM, I'll go welcome him! I'll contact Stooben in a couple mintues Marioguy1 (talk)

Is this decision permanent, because we have about a year or two's supply of polls. What will happen when we run out of polls to use after those two years? · SMB (Talk) · 10:53, 15 July 2009 (EDT)

Mario & Nintendo News header

Can the background be "#099" (Turquoise) cause we already have a blue header for FA. It just has always bothered me that its not a unique color like red, green, or yellow. -- WarioLoaf (talk) 18:59, 15 July 2009 (EDT)

Something wrong with the forums.

Everytime I try and go to the forums, it says

"Sorry ugozima, you are banned from using this forum! Rudnicki"

Has Rudnicki haxx0red the forums? Ugozima 01:37, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

• i can get on, dunno. mabey you did something -- WarioLoaf (talk) 02:03, 18 July 2009 (EDT)

• No, I didn't do anything. I always follow the rules. (Except mindless junk)

Wait, WARIOLOAF?!? WARIOLOAF!?! I read that you were one of Rudnicki's socks. Ugozima 02:13, 18 July 2009 (EDT)
