Welcome to my user page! I joined the wiki in 2021 and made some small fixes. Once the Switch version of The Thousand-Year Door released, I made a few small contributions. Mario & Luigi: Brothership releasing is what got me to start doing larger specialized contributions, starting with adding more info to Battle Plugs alongside moving and reuploading all the plug icons. This then led to me discovering that the wiki's technical coverage of classic Paper Mario games and the Mario & Luigi series could be better. After being shocked that this wasn't covered on the wiki, I did a lot of research and ended up making the Lucky Hit article.

Sandboxes

Major contributions

To do list

I will totally look like a fool if I write all this stuff down and never get around to doing it on this wiki...

  • Finish sandboxes of M&L "meter badge" mechanics...once I get around to other things to do...
  • Get all the images I have uploaded onto the related subject galleries. I'm planning on doing this if I feel that uploading the Bowser's Inside Story DX attack icons is needed so that it can all be done in one sweep.
  • Upload screenshots of Bowser's Inside Story DX to get all the "needs more images" tags off location subjects.
  • Get the Guard and Superguard frame data from Talk:Unsimplifier into the related articles.
  • Explain at Talk:Palace of Shadow Tower how the internal order of rooms and strings appears to be the official order of the GameCube version's 8 line hidden message, and ask about the JP version of the message.
  • Update List of shops in BIS, List of shops in BISDX, and List of BIS gear to include the story unlock requirements.
    • Create the "List of shops in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga" article, which does not exist yet somehow.
    • Use transclusions for M&L series list of shop articles to cut down on the duplication of content across the wiki and make it easier to maintain.
  • Figure out how to integrate and reference the spreadsheet I made of Bowser's Inside Story DX data for the relevant articles. This is an incredible resource.

Larger ideas

Ideas that likely require discussion from how unusual they are.

  • Make a critical hit article for the Mario & Luigi series. There is a critical hit article on the wiki already, but that is a redirect to Super Smash Bros. Final Smashes...
  • Do something about Mario & Luigi navigation templates putting items in alphabetical order instead of breaking it to have something like Mushroom (Super • Ultra • Max).
  • Merge Brawl Point into Bros. Point, primarily because of how much it sucks to work around the original Bowser's Inside Story calling both Special Point, a deprecated term on this wiki. Also, HORN is merged into STACHE, which is an inconsistent standard.
  • Recurring themes are eligible for articles. "An Awfully Long Time Ago...", the intro story theme of The Thousand-Year Door, which is in a few songs in GameCube but is a recurring motif throughout the Switch version, is not eligible for an article just because the recurring theme requirements are...interesting.
  • The Switch version of The Thousand-Year Door has an in-universe font that can be deciphered into actual text, giving the world more detail. Examples of this font appearing are the storybook intro and ending (the narration and the book in the intro are the same text) and this wanted poster of Mario (which says Mario). The ending storybook scene has entirely new text that includes a "thank you for playing", confirming the developers intended fans to figure this out. Inkipedia has an article going in-depth to a similar thing throughout the Splatoon series, so I feel like this could be an article here.
    • Donkey Kong Bananza has a similar thing going on with its "banana script" (made up name), primarily visible on disc art in the music player.
  • Do something about basically every Bowser's body location article claiming to know what body part corresponds to each location, which all seems to be [citation needed].
  • The inhale move that Bowser uses in Bowser's Inside Story is split across Vacuum Shroom ("power-up?" needed for move) and Vacuum Block (item needed to use the move in-battle). Inhale is a Super Smash Bros. disambig, and Vacuum is a Sticker Star thing, which both do not have links leading lost readers to the BIS move. This gets more complicated as Bowletta does an inhale-like move before the battle with Cackletta Soul, Dark Bowser can use the move, and Bowser STILL has and uses the move in Dream Team.

Final Boss idea

I'm probably never going to get the answer to this (it was likely a conjectural name made up by an editor years ago), but there's one thing I still want to know:

  • Where did the name "Riddle Tower" come from, referring to the place now officially known as Palace of Shadow Tower? Solved??? It was likely a conjectural name that was not marked as such. As a result, readers treated the name as fact and it spread all over the internet. Figure out how to discuss this topic and use it as an example warning for how misinformation can spread.

3DS Mario & Luigi icon reuse

With the help of User:Camwoodstock providing item icons of Superstar Saga DX to me, I was able to confirm what item icons are reused across the 4 3DS Mario & Luigi games. This helps cut down on duplicate files on the wiki.

Items
Subject DT PJ SSDX BISDX
Mushroom First Reused from DT Different Reused from DT
Nut First Reused from DT Different Reused from DT
Syrup First Reused from DT Different Reused from DT
(Star) Candy First Reused from DT N/A Reused from DT
1-Up First Reused from DT Different Reused from DT
Refreshing Herb First Reused from DT Different Different again
Boo Biscuit First Reused from DT Different Different again
Beans
Subject DT PJ BISDX
Heart First Reused from DT Different
Bros./Special First Reused from DT Different
Power First Reused from DT Reused from DT
Defense First Reused from DT Different
Speed First Reused from DT Different
Stache/Flex First Reused from DT Different

Affected files

Keep and update these to mention their reuse. These are Dream Team assets. All beans here do not have a game identifier, and Defense Bean is misspelled as Defence Bean in the filename.

  • M&LDT Mushroom.png
  • M&LDT Nut.png
  • M&LDT Syrup.png
  • M&LDT Candy.png
  • DreamTeam1up.png
  • M&LDT Refreshing Herb.png
  • M&LDT Boo Biscuit.png
  • Heart Bean.png
  • Bros Bean.png
  • Power Bean.png
  • Defence Bean.png
  • Speed Bean.png
  • Stache Bean.png

These are Superstar Saga DX assets to keep. Apparently only the Refreshing Herb was already on the wiki. The Boo Biscuit in this game is unique, so don't forget that one.

  • MLSSBMRefreshingHerb.png

These are Bowser's Inside Story DX assets to delete and replace with Dream Team versions. It seems that these are being used for Superstar Saga DX articles, so don't mass replace these with Dream Team assets at first.

  • MLBISBJJNut.png
  • MLBISBJJSyrupJar.png
  • MLBISBJJStarCandy.png
  • MLBISBJJ1UpMushroom.png
  • MLBISBJJPowerBean.png

These are Bowser's Inside Story DX assets to keep. The Boo Biscuit is being used for a few Superstar Saga DX articles, but should not take long to fix.

Mario & Luigi series "profiles and statistics" idea

Maybe items like Max Mushroom could have something like this to make it easier to find this info instead of using sentence format for data?
