Talk:Prohibited Command

(First topic)

Is the name of this official? Also I see it's too minor despite its lengthy information, because it's not actually an status ailment or something relevant that happens very often in the gameplay, actually are special moves that very few enemies can perform - and apparently they're never mentioned in any way. ¢oincoll€ctor

It is named in Super Paper Mario (you can see it after touching a Tech Cursya), and this is relevant because it's a status ailment in multiple games. There should be information about this. Technickal 09:42, 20 November 2011 (EST)

Official name

The M&LSS+BM electronic instructional manual calls this status effect Prohibited Command (“Prohibited Command: The character is unable to choose a certain Command Block for a certain period of time.”) Should this page be moved now that it has an official name?

It should, though "No Skills" should be kept as a redirect because it has quite a history of being used. Also, be sure to talk to Porplemontage about doing a text replacement to change every instance of a link to "No Skills" to point to "Prohibited Command" instead. ^(T|C) 21:08, August 22, 2019 (EDT)

This article is too broad

I think this article's scope is too large. This specifically involves the concept of Prohibited Command being a "status ailment", as per the intro, even though Thunder Sass is on this page. It's not that Mario is being prevented from using Command Blocks while fighting Thunder Sass by any kind of effect. They aren't being stolen or magically sealed, nor did Mario drop his Command Blocks. It's that Mario agreed that he can't use attacks in that fight, and this is reflected mechanically by not having Command Blocks appear.

I think the quick and easy fix is moving Thunder Sass to a separate paragraph and noting how it's odd compared to every other example on this page. Salmancer (talk) 00:39, August 6, 2024 (EDT)

I agree. I think we should make the SMRPG, PM, PMTTYD, SPM and ML:SS the main focus. Everything else can go under a "similar situations" because it's just the game saying "You can't use your commands for such and such reasons. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 13:01, April 21, 2025 (EDT)

Cleanup

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.

List when this is a status aliment and list all others below it 5-0
This article is a bit confusing as to what its scope is. It is described as an aliment, but then it describes all the times where you can't access the command blocks for whatever reason. As such, I see two options: Number one, we list when it is a status aliment and then list all the others below it like the Shrowser and Ludwig (remake battles) or just do nothing.

Make list of actual status aliment and then list rest below, Option 1

1. PrincessPeachFan (talk) Per proposal.
2. Salmancer (talk) I guess as the person who brought it up I'm obligated to vote. Sticker Star's case is more like a system message than a status condition, especially as the game has an UI element for status conditions that losing the Hammer doesn't use.
3. Xiahou Ba, The Nasty Warrior (talk) Yeah, a distinction should be raised between battles that simply don't let you pick action commands and being afflicted by a status ailment that restricts access to moves.
4. Nightwicked Bowser (talk) Could apply this with Glohm information as well since that's its own status effect.
5. Pizza Master (talk) Command Lock (SMRPG) functions differently from "No Skills" (Paper Mario series) which functions differently from X effects (AKA Blocked Actions) (Superstar Saga) which functions differently from Tiny. Also per the other points made.
