Split the minigames[edit]

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit this section or its subsections. If you wish to discuss the article, please do so in a new section below the proposal. |
Split 8-0
Each other minigame or microgame from other Super Mario games, including the WarioWare series, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the Mario Party series, has its own article. While these minigames are very short, I think there's enough here to warrant split pages for each minigame that features Super Mario content. I suggest this in the aim of consistency, as no other game page - to my knowledge - has all of its minigames merged to the game's article. Due to the game also featuring Super Mario sprites, plus how Wrecking Crew is compatible with the Data Recorder peripheral, I'd say there's enough meat on the page to split off the minigames. The short summaries on the article itself can be kept, the articles themselves would just go into more detail on the minigames. Some of the summaries themselves are quite short (for instance, one minigame is referred to only as "Horse betting but with Shellcreepers"), meaning standalone articles could expand on the details of the minigame.
To note, this would include both the V3 minigames and the minigames featuring Super Mario content from the original release.

SUPPORT[edit]
- NELSONIC (talk) PER PROPOSAL
- Camwoodstock (talk) 10 PRINT "Makes sense to us, and to be honest, we chalk this mostly up to Family BASIC's relative obscurity and general weirdness. Giving each of the sample programs pages that explain how they work and what they're like would be very nice to have! Per proposal." / 20 GOTO 10
- Rykitu BASIC V3 (talk) Per PROPOSAL.
- Keegster2 (talk) These minigames are interesting enough to deserve more in-depth detail, especially considering the original sample games have to be personally made by the player. Per proposal.
