Sports paragraph violates MarioWiki:Generic subjects?[edit]

Title. MarioWiki:Generic subjects exists to protect us from having full write ups about the rules of regular sports. I don't always agree with it, because it means that we're inexplicably less informative about the controls of sports games compared to everything else the wiki covers, but it exists. If so, why does the third paragraph of this article cover movement during Ice Hockey and Figure Skating? That seems to be in violation of MarioWiki:Generic subjects, since its literally just movement during a sport that is required because those are the rules of the sport. Its also not adding much mechanically to the article, since it also doesn't say that moving in Ice Hockey is slippery and that Figure Skating uses entirely fixed routines. I think the paragraph should be removed from the article wholesale. Salmancer (talk) 16:20, November 8, 2026 (UTC)
And yes, Speed-Skate Dash is valid for this article. It is a fantastical special move in a sports game, and therefore slips (ha) past MarioWiki:Generic subjects in the same way Chance Shot and Power Shot (Mario Golf series) do. Salmancer (talk) 16:27, November 8, 2026 (UTC)
