Talk:Pyoro

External Link

Er, is the link to the other Wiki really needed? It doesn't tell more than the MarioWiki article already does, actually it has even less content. --Grandy02 15:10, 16 December 2008 (EST)

Title of DSiWare Game

The DSiWare version of Pyoro actually has a different title, it's called Tori to Mame (鳥とマメ), meaning "Bird and Beans" (mame can also mean "pea", though). That should get a separate article, it includes both Pyoro and Pyoro 2 from the original WarioWare and the playing area has been extended (compare old and new). Actually, all Pyoro mini-games deserve own articles. --Grandy02 08:21, 17 December 2008 (EST)

Pyoro X

I was wondering, if the Smash Wiki has a list for a lot of leaks regarding the Super Smash Bros Series and includes even pages for specific leakers like Vergeben, shouldn't Pyoro X also have a page either in this wiki or another general Nintendo one?

No. The Mario Wiki only covers official material, as well as maybe fan-made content officially acknowledged by Nintendo. Leakers don't get pages. — Lady Sophie ^(T|C) 15:54, February 2, 2024 (EST)

Treat Pyoro as a series

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.

Pyoro is both a fictional series of video games and a real series of playable minigames. This wiki gives the Pyoro games full coverage, as it should, but Pyoro articles are unusually awkward to navigate. There is no article about the Pyoro series, no navigational template directing readers to our articles about entries in the Pyoro series, and not even a category for entries in the Pyoro series. The only real way to find all the Pyoro articles in one place is from this article, which helpfully has a list of every Pyoro game.

However, I believe Pyoro should be given the same treatment as other "real" series on this wiki. The list of Pyoro games on this article should be split off and expanded into its own "Pyoro (series)" page covering both the minigames themselves and their role as a fictional game series within the stories of the WarioWare games, and other standard navigational features should be added to make navigating Pyoro-related articles as seamless as navigating articles about other series this wiki covers.

1. JanMisali (talk) As proposer.
2. Salmancer (talk) It's a plot relevant concept: Wario keeps coming back to the gaming industry because this bird's games keep doing numbers. We like covering fictional objects in games, Pyoro video games are certainly fictional objects. It would help communicate things to readers, like having descriptions of the recurring items and characters that make up Pyoro's world just like our articles on real series. "Once and only once" is currently deader than disco, so redundancy with minigame articles is not a problem. We have articles about groups of levels, Enemy Course, Captain Toad's Adventures, World 8-Hand Traps, Switch Palace, List of shops in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. I see no reason to not go ahead!
3. EvieMaybe (talk) per Salmancer! even if they're not "actual games", the "Pyoro series" essentially amounts to a recurring mode, and those get articles.
4. Mario (talk) Iffy. I see utility of having a "List of Pyoro games/List of Pyoro minigames" that summarizes a bit of every game in a table format or something like that, which I guess is more involved than most Mario Party minigames (but not quite all of them) which have just a simple list likely due to how numerous it is. Just don't want a page that's called "Pyoro (series)" since it's just misleading, but even if it comes to that name, it's better we have a page of that content to begin with than not. Sure, you can find the indepth information in the Pyoro article, but why not just have the information in both the Pyoro article and that list article?
5. Tails777 (talk) Per Salmancer.
6. Okapii (talk) Per Salamancer, the Pyoro games are both a recurring mode (of sorts) and a recurring plot element of the wider WarioWare series.
7. SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) Breaking the tie. Per all.
8. Camwoodstock (talk) With some more thought--and more importantly, seeing how the other polls turned out--we think a Pyoro series page would be nice. While it'd definitely be a bit strange to have a page on a series of minigames, it's no stranger than, say, having a page on a magazine because it happened to be one of the primary sources on the Japanese home computer games. We have far more fringe pages than this, is what we're getting at.
9. Kirbeat (talk) I've been wanting this to happen. I understand that this is a fictional game series, not a "real" one. However, we are able to play most if not every known game inside that series, making them more "real" games. The game series is also a plot point that is expanded across several games, so having a series article would serve for that too. It makes sense both narratively and practically.

Oppose

1. YoYo (talk) They're not actual games, they're fundamentally just levels in a bigger series. If this was to pass that'd mean every other instance of levels in games that can be grouped together all being treated identically. Where is the line drawn then??
2. Hewer (talk) We don't need a "series" article to cover a group of related minigames. Treating this like a "series" when it only has one actual game is misleading.
3. Rykitu R (talk) Pyoro is a game series in the WarioWare universe. The only Pyoro game in this universe is Bird & Beans. One game is not a series.
4. SComic (talk) Not only do I agree with all of the above opposing statements, but as you said all the games can be found in the Pyoro article, which isn't as confusing as you're saying it is. I feel like most people can find that article easily when looking for a list of games.
5. DryBonesBandit (talk) Per all.

#Camwoodstock (talk) We disagree with the need for a unified page treating this as a series, when these are a set of minigames.

1. JanMisali (talk) As proposer.
2. Hewer (talk) This probably would be a better way of linking the Pyoro articles than a faux "series" page.
3. Camwoodstock (talk) This, on the other hand, we can get behind; a dedicated navbox for Pyoro minigames and stuff in them has a much simpler, but much more coherent form factor. Though, this does also cause a very funny question... Are we going to need dedicated Pyoro series colors in the Navbox template palette (and, provided our proposal passes for it, the series table palettes) if this option passes? Not that we're complaining, and if it came to it, we'd be happy to help come up with a set of colors for that (unless jan Misali wants to do that for one reason or another), but that'd be really funny.
4. Rykitu S (talk) Per Camewoodstock.
5. Salmancer (talk) I mean, yeah, if I agree to the maximum of giving this a series page I kind of also inherently agree to this.

1. YoYo (talk) per my reasoning in the first section.

1. JanMisali (talk) I've included this as part of the proposal because it's part of how game series on this wiki are handled, but the nonfictional status of the Pyoro series as a series of minigames (with the singular exception of Bird & Beans) makes this not feel right.

Putting Pyoro in these templates and categories could confuse non-enfranchised people into thinking Pyoro is a series of real video games that are also minigames in WarioWare, and that's dangerous. We shouldn't do that, even if the keyfabe is trying to convince us we should.

Pyoro series proposal comments

@YoYo Can you elaborate what you mean by "levels"? "The Pyoro series" is two things: a fictional series of video games with story relevance to the WarioWare series and a real series of minigames playable within the WarioWare series. I don't think it makes sense to call any of the Pyoro minigames "levels" of the WarioWare games they're contained within, but even disregarding that, we do have navigational templates grouping the microgames of the WarioWare series by the characters they're associated with, and a proposal recently passed with no opposition suggesting that categories should be created to group WarioWare microgames by genre. jan Misali (talk · contributions) 14:27, August 4, 2025 (EDT)

I notice the proposal writes Pyoro in italics, which the wiki doesn't as far as I can tell. Does this proposal intend to change that? (I'd oppose this personally, since we don't write any other minigames in italics.) Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 15:15, August 4, 2025 (EDT)

My idea is "Pyoro" in italics would be used to refer to the series in the in-fiction context (see Jump Man (fictional game) with the same usage, as well as the way the fictional Pyoro games are already referred to in italics in the story sections of the WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and WarioWare Gold articles) and that "Pyoro" (no italics) would continue to be used for the actual minigames in a non-fictional context. jan Misali (talk · contributions) 15:21, August 4, 2025 (EDT)

I guess that works, though I'll point out the wiki is currently not completely consistent with italicisation of fictional works (Super Luigi is an example that used to be italicised but was changed to normal formatting in 2021). Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 20:38, August 4, 2025 (EDT)

@Camwoodstock Template:B&B uses the standard WarioWare template colors, so I'd imagine a "Pyoro games" navigational template would use those colors too. jan Misali (talk · contributions) 15:35, August 4, 2025 (EDT)

That works for us! Unless someone out there really feels like Pyoro needs its own colors, we'll probably just default to the WarioWare ones. ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☯ contribs ) 16:08, August 4, 2025 (EDT)

@Salmancer: If we were making this Pyoro series article from the perspective of it being a fictional subject, I'd rather we made it more like a fictional subject article instead of a "series" article with the identifier and such, as I think it could be misleading otherwise. Maybe take after Jump Man (fictional game) and do "Pyoro (fictional series)" or something. (Then again, we do have Super Luigi (series), but at least the presentation of that article is nothing like our articles on real game series.) Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 06:01, August 6, 2025 (EDT)

We could name it Pyoro (minigame series) as a hedge against confusion. This is technically against the proposal body, but surely the exact name of the page isn't that important. Salmancer (talk) 22:58, August 7, 2025 (EDT)

Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to a different name for the article itself, but I personally think "Pyoro (series)" is the best option, just because the ideal name for the subject is "Pyoro" (with or without italics) and the shortest identifier that distinguishes it from the character is "(series)". It's not strictly necessary to say in the title of the article what type of series it is. But again, if everyone else prefers a more specific article title I'd be fine with that. jan Misali (talk · contributions) 10:26, August 8, 2025 (EDT)

@YoYo If there should be a line for "level groups that have articles" vs "level groups that don't have articles", and I think the loss of "once and only once" implies there shouldn't be, I think its "Would a reader laugh at it?". "First level" is a defined group of levels in Donkey Kong Country Returns, through the Prima guide. I'd laugh at "first level" so no article. My definition of silly says levels need to pass two criteria: "Has a mechanical distinction from a normal level" and "is not just a fancy name for a boss battle". The kinds of things that fail either of these criteria are better served being noted in the respective game's article's section on "levels". So if we use Mario vs Donkey Kong as a measure: "Mini-Mario level" passes, but "Donkey Kong level" fails. And in the broader series, "Multi-Door level" passes but "whatever the name is for a level with one Goal Door" fails. And for Super Mario 64, everything in Super Mario 64#Overview passes except for "Normal Course". Salmancer (talk) 22:58, August 7, 2025 (EDT)

To demonstrate my point of people generally being in favor of having articles for recurring groups of levels, a Discord conversation on July 16th in the wiki editing channel was in favor of keeping Galaxy, an article that is literally "every level in one game, and every level in the sequel to that game". ("Galaxy" would fail my criteria, because its just "level".) Uh, to bring it back here, Pyoro minigames have notable distinguishing characteristics from other minigames, between their once per game nature, (usually) being an unlock for playing every microgame, and the character and branding of Pyoro. Salmancer (talk) 23:15, August 7, 2025 (EDT)

@SComic To be clear, when you say "tons of useful nav boxes" here, which ones are you talking about? Because there is not currently a navigational template that contains links to every Pyoro game. Pyoro W is currently two hyperlinks away from Pyoro S, while Super Mario 64 DS (microgame) links directly to every single other 9-Volt microgame in a navigational template. jan Misali (talk · contributions) 00:14, August 12, 2025 (EDT)

Out of curiosity, would the creation of a Pyoro category and navbox have to wait until after all polls conclude, or could those be done now? ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☯ contribs ) 15:47, August 20, 2025 (EDT)

This proposal had the first option implemented when it passed weeks before the second option concluded, so yes it can happen now if we're following that precedent. No need to delay if we've already achieved a consensus to make the change. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 06:16, August 21, 2025 (EDT)

@Camwoodstock: How does that comparison work? I don't think anyone was arguing that the reason for not giving the Pyoro series a page is because the subject falls outside the wiki's coverage. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 07:23, August 30, 2025 (EDT)

It's moreso about how we already have some oddly specific articles because covering them helps with a better view of other, more overtly Mario-related media, less so about specifically the Mycom BASIC page being specifically applicable to the concept of a Pyoro series page. ;P ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☯ contribs ) 12:32, August 30, 2025 (EDT)

Right, but no one's saying that a lack of relevance to the Mario franchise is the reason for not giving the Pyoro series an article. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 14:42, August 30, 2025 (EDT)
