(First topic)[edit]
Orteil (creator of cookie clicker) has said that the "egg" upgrade is not a reference to anything in particular: https://orteil42.tumblr.com/post/101324148095/the-flavor-text-hey-its-egg-is-that-a. I do understand that it resembles a yoshi egg, but the creator specifically denying any reference when the game is loaded with references to random things should be reason that it shouldn't be on this page (at least that's what I think). I would love to hear what others think. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Madmister1 (talk).
- As the ones who originally added the reference, we did vaguely recall Orteil saying this, but we couldn't re-find this statement at the time of adding it. We'd definitely be fine removing it now that we have actual confirmation this wasn't just some weird misremembered statement about something else. ;P

In my view, the sheer notability of the officially endorsed references to the Super Mario franchise in this game, including several direct gameplay-relevant appearances of enemies and other elements such as ?-Blocks, Super Stars and Warp Pipes, makes them more than worthy of being classified as guest appearances as opposed to simply cameos, thus warranting a page for the game. I would directly compare the notability of these references to the Super Mario content featured in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, which was notable enough to merit giving that game its own page. Now, while most of these elements were removed when the game was brought to other platforms, the content was significant enough that it required notable overhaul to parts of the game, including directly altering the level design in some places (such as removing the downtown Bullet Bill blasters and changing the way the Chan Chuang token is obtained). Our coverage policy describes cameos as content that "can be erased without any ill effects on the game", and I would argue that the way the game had to be overhauled here is a good example of an ill effect of content being erased.

Split[edit]
- Snessy (talk) Per proposal.
- Hewer (talk) Seems prominent enough for guest appearance coverage. I think this is about the same level of Mario relevance as the likes of Art Style: PiCTOBiTS.
- The Dab Master (talk) Per all.
- Rykitu (talk) Per all.
- The Real Color Splash Fan (talk) Per all.
- Camwoodstock (talk) Per all, which is pretty much per Snessy and Hewer. This feels roughly equivalent to something like PiCTOBiTS, or a single-game equivalent to how we handle Crossovers with Just Dance.
- SuperLegoGamer18 (talk) This would basically be the Mario version of the Sonic DLC for Lego Dimensions. Per all.
- Wilben (talk) Makes sense to me.
- Balugio (talk) Per all.
- Nelsonic (talk) Per.
- Mariuigi Khed (talk) Per all.
