More Status Effects[edit]
In Paper Mario, there's lots of status effects that immobilize Mario, such as Frozen, Paralized and Dizzy, yet they don't add any other effects. should they be referenced in any way in this article? TanooKid12 (talk) 21:49, 23 December 2017 (EST)
- Not necessarily. They're pretty much their own separate effects, such as how Burn is different from poison and both cause damage over time.

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment. |
Right now, this article attempts to cover nearly every single status aliment from the Paper Mario series which prevents the afflicted character from moving, which is a setup that risks going into clear violation of our good writing policy. Unless anyone can provide a sound reason to keep them all merged into one article, I think we should split off the following effects:
- Paralysis (PM64)
- Tacked (PMSS)
- Stopped (Which the article should be moved to, since that's what Immobilized seems to serve as in PMTTYD)
- Taped (PMSS)
- Stapled (PMSS)
Yes, a lot of these statuses effectively do the same thing, but even the article itself makes note of certain aliments that are basically repeats with different visuals, such as Soggy, Dizzy, Frozen, Injured, Clipped, and Crumpled. Nor do I think the length of the articles would be much of an issue, since most of these status effect articles usually aren't very long too begin with, as well as the precedent set by pages such as Unmotivated.
The only major issue I see coming from the idea are the names in other languages. Currently, as far as Japan is concerned, the article only lists the name "Stop," which seems to be intended for the Stopped effect, but I highly doubt that's what they were calling Sticker Star's various different immobile states. Any thoughts on the matter? Wandering Poplin (talk) 19:18, January 10, 2026 (EST)
