Why?[edit]

I don't understand why this had to be split from the Super Mario Bros. activity books. I think it would be better if we made a table with all the coloring books on that page similar to how we treat the books in the Donkey Kong activity books for consistency.

I'm currently in the process of splitting all of the activity books by Little Golden Books as I feel that they seem to be less cohesively related to each other than the Donkey Kong activity books, with the books containing a mixture of coloring, activity, and sticker books. Also, the creation of individual pages allows for the addition of information such as featured characters, which is not possible or very difficult with a table. (I also suspect that the German books Super Mario Bros. - Wunderlandreisen and Super Mario Bros. - Wundersame Abenteuer are actually just German translations of two of the books in the series, meaning that I would need to cover this information on individual articles of the books; putting this information on the same article as the other activity books would be confusing.) Maybe it could be something similar to the Nintendo Adventure Books, where there is a main page about the series in general and individual pages for each of the books?

I've decided to format the article similar to the Nintendo Adventure Books page, with the main page having general information about the series and individual books given their own articles. The Sticker Fun books are part of a different series, as seen on the back of the 1989 Sticker Fun book, and will be covered on a separate page.

Ok, I can see why now. These have more information on them than the Donkey Kong ones. Sprite of Lakitu from Super Mario Bros.RykituSprite of Lakitu from Super Mario Bros.
