Talk:List of advertisements

(First topic)

Please note that later in summer, I will try to upload all the files, mostly commercials so we won't have to use those links to see the commercials somewhere else. RAP... BTW, this is the first final version, the second one will arrive later this summer... ;)

Umm, wow... that was a long time ago. XD Anyway, if you guys are listening or even hearing this; or someone that at least finds this, I would like to point out something. Is this page just for all the Nintendo-based commercials/promos of Mario series and its others, or the Mario stuff that appear in outside Nintendo. Like Mario in a milk commercial. Wait... just asking about this... I find it tricky to decide if I should slot the commercials into the game articles only or something. Any help? RAP... Mmmm. Really. I wonder. I really like to work on it.

==Mario Reference in Toys R Us Commercial++ In a Toys R Us commercial that I saw a few minutes ago, in the segment where the girl gets on a scooter, she rides the Rainbow Road, referencing all the Mario Kart games. Can this be added? 8:40 PM 8/21/14

Mario "references"

This seems less like a list of cameos from Mario characters in advertising and more like a list of every commercial specifically advertising a Mario game. Shouldn't this article be more about advertisements like this Sonic commercial (which contrasts itself with Mario) or perhaps the packaging of an Action Replay DSi (which has a notBowser as one of the characters)? The list of commercials certainly serves its purpose, but with the title as it is now, it's a misnomer. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Yeah, agreed. This page should be moved to "List of Mario advertisements" (thus preserving the history), and then a new page can be created over the resulting redirect to be about actual TV, poster and packaging (etc.) advertising refs. Even things like The Wizard and Pixels, since Mario content crossovers/cameos in 'em. - Walkazo 14:03, 24 March 2015 (EDT)

So would it be okay to move the page? Niiue (talk) 23:12, 24 September 2015 (EDT)

So I finally moved this page to the new name and added those two legit references to the new List of Mario references in advertisements article. - Walkazo 16:22, 13 November 2015 (EST)

Since we've split up this article from the list of cameos article, think we should give descriptions for the various advertisements? Weedle McHairybug (talk) 07:34, 22 September 2016 (EDT)

Replace http://gameads.gamepressure.com links with YouTube links

I tried using the http://gameads.gamepressure.com/ links, except that GamePressure got rid of their gameads subdirectory. If possible, try changing all links to the ads to YouTube uploads of an acceptable quality. 172.59.224.244 11:16, April 10, 2025 (EDT)

I am currently working on finding the YouTube links equivalent to the GamePressure links. Rykitu

Summaries

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.

Add summaries, but don't link anything exclusive unless its an original creation for the advertisement 1-5-0-0-0
For the past week, I have been working on replacing most of the links here due to Gamepressure.com getting rid of the advertisements on their website, rendering most of the links here dead. While I'm fixing that, I would like to propose something that could also be on this page: the summaries.

A lot of these commercials have stories, and when something on this wiki has stories, we typically add a "Plot", "Plot synopsis", "Plot synopses" or a "Summary" section. Here is an example of what it would look like. So far the only section finished is the NES section. If you have any ideas on what could be improved, feel free to make them yourself.

If we are giving this full coverage now, that would mean advertisement exclusive characters, locations, items, etc. would get their own pages. Cowboy Jed and Ken Darling have their own pages and I guess Duffy and Patch too. The downside (or upside depending on how you look at it) is that this would result in characters like Ronald McDonald and The Hostess Munchies getting their own pages. But we already have pages for Inspector Gadget and even characters from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so this isn't entirely new. So what are your thoughts on this?

Add summaries and make pages for red links

1. Rykitu (talk) Per proposal.

Add summaries, but don't link anything exclusive unless its an original creation for the advertisement

1. EvieMaybe (talk) makes sense to me. for guys like Ronald McCapitalism, their appearance is purely tied to the medium of advertisement, so just an external link will do.
2. Adtendo (Skip in 5 seconds) I think that adding summaries is a good idea (seeing how other pages do that), but I do think that new pages should limit themselves to original advertisement characters. In the given examples above, the characters have important appearances in Super Mario-related media (appearing as part of the plot instead of just advertisement purposes), but commercial-only external characters shouldn't be covered as much given that they are just for the commercials related to said media (and other non-Super Mario media) and their appearances aren't as noteworthy. Original characters are fine, though, as they aren't covered as much anywhere else on the internet.
3. Camwoodstock (talk) Per proposal, and especially EvieMaybe; we think pages for things in the advertisements is fine so long as they're explicitly inventions of that given advertisement. Our coverage of marketing is fairly poor at the moment (though not as bad as board games AYOOOOO), and this'd be a good start to remedying that.
4. Scrooge200 (Sponsored by Zocdoc): Per proposal. Original characters created for advertising Mario makes sense, but other brand mascots or advertising characters would be pushing it. Adding summaries also helps a lot with what these ads actually are instead of just clicking dead YouTube links and wondering.
5. Jdtendo (talk) Per all^TM

Super Mario Galaxy commercials

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.

Does anyone know what happened to Galaxy 1's foreign commercials? I can't find a lot of them on YouTube, and I doubt they're lost media. And yes, while vini64's compilation does have some of those, it is not everything, and I prefer individual uploads rather than compilations. Rykitu
