Badges

(It's gonna take a bit to get used to your new name on the wiki.)

The non-Mario badges you uploaded by mistake, think you can find a place for them and remainders on other wikis? 01:18, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

Oh absolutely but the problem is, there's a whole lot of them and I don't have accounts on other wikis, aside from Nookipedia and WiKirby, and both of them are inactive. I'm not sure if I'll ever get around uploading them for other Nintendo series. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 03:59, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

Nookipedia and WiKirby are actually very active. But that's fine, if you'd like to put them in a Dropbox or something, I can upload them at some point :) 12:23, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

"They" refers to my accounts there. Anyway, I've uploaded the zip to my Google Drive. Enjoy. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 16:17, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

Oh, okay. And awesome, thanks ^^ 16:29, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

Congratulations!

To celebrate your shiny new username and the beginning of a new archive, enjoy this complementary Wario:

Super Mario Galaxy 2 not included in SM3DAS

Why shouldn't we mention that SMG2 isn't included? If it's going to be removed, at least give a better reason than just "unnecessary because it is not the best way to describe why.--TheGreenBeetle (talk) 12:45, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

The first sentence of the article actively tells readers what's in the game, as I feel like that's good enough information to inform readers of what the game pack contains. Making statements that omit games as a negative space tend to carry redundant bloat in the article that comprises the brevity of the statement. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 13:04, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

Ok. I guess that makes sense.--TheGreenBeetle (talk) 14:49, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

I see...

So, are you trying to raise Super Mario Kart to featured status now? --DarkNight (Boo!) 23:58, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

Yeah I am. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 00:03, September 20, 2020 (EDT)

I am thinking Dr. Mario World animations...

If you can try to get more Dr. Mario World model animations could you do the rest of the losing animations and win animations and more for the gallery? I know you told me last time, but I have been checking all day. I split the models into a gallery of the models, so people could find them easier there instead of waiting in the other gallery. ^(T) 11:29, September 20, 2020 (EDT)

As you can see by my rather delayed response, I am quite busy right now writing up articles and what not. I'll try to get to them eventually. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 09:50, September 21, 2020 (EDT)

I understand, but I wish I had an Android to do what you told last time but I am afraid I don't have one, I have an iPhone X (Apple). But I wait for you making them soon. ^(T) 03:05, September 21, 2020 (EDT)

I'll resume again today. I'll try getting the idle animation for Dr. Blooper at least. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 17:25, September 21, 2020 (EDT)

Don't forget the last losing animations, all win animations, more skill animations, and the idle animations for Dr. Boo, Dr. King Boo, and Dr. Morton. OK? ^(T) 09:26, October 4, 2020 (EDT)

A simple question

One thing you may or may have not noticed recently, is that I have been uploading many image/gifs from the PC/MS-DOS versions of Mario is Missing, Mario's Time Machine, and Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters. Part of why I have been doing that is because all of the games I just mentioned, I own on CD-ROM. I play them on DOSBox, take screenshots of them, and then remove the backgrounds to rip the sprites. Are there any particular sprites from Mario is Missing, Mario's Time Machine, and Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters that you would like ripped? Also, other than taking screenshots and then removing the backgrounds, is there any other way to rip sprites from those games? MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 3:52, 21 September 2020 (EST)

'Allo. I haven't really played the games but I think you should rip...well every named object in the game, from characters to Mushrooms to Blocks. I think it would be so great to have expanded coverage on the edutainment games on the wiki in general so images are a great place to start. Maybe one day they'll be featured articles lol. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 17:24, September 21, 2020 (EDT)

I have just finished playing through all of the CD-ROM version of Mario is Missing for the third time, so prepare for me to nuke the wiki with images and gifs from that game. Like this Bowser. MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 4:49, 27 September 2020 (EST)

You are an unsung hero of MarioWiki. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 16:59, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

For uploading that gif, among others? MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 5:05, 27 September 2020 (EST)

We need more Mario Edutainment title coverage, period, and includes uploading the Very Best Mario Sprites. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 17:14, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

Like this: MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 5:26, 27 September 2020 (EST)

The best Bowser sprites. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 17:29, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

Which one of those overweight turtles is your favorite? Also, here are some more. MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 5:45, 27 September 2020 (EST)

The profile one that shows how ineptly his shell is drawn is the best. But I also like the derpy talking Bowser too. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 17:54, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

The funny part about that, is that because the PC version of Mario is Missing was the first Mario game I ever played, as well as being my introduction to the franchise, I used to think that was how Bowser's shell was meant to be, and because of that, I thought all the other sprites of Bowser were the off-model ones. Anyway, Iggy Koopa is here with all of his clones. MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 6:18, 27 September 2020 (EST)

Oh really? Lmao, you started off on the right foot for Mario franchise entry lmao. Also, Icky Iggy is a great nickname for Iggy that I wish was used in official games. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 18:26, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

I still have the CD-ROM that I first played the game off of all those years ago. It still works too, and is what I played the game on to screenshot the sprites. After I played Mario is Missing, I then moved on to the PC version of Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters, and after that, I played Mario's Time Machine on PC before moving over to the mainline games. Here are some more sprites from the PC release of Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters, and the PC version of Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun, as well as the PC version of Mario's Time Machine. All of those Ludwig sprites were from the PC version of Mario's Time Machine. They were not used in-game, but they were a bitmap file on the CD-ROM called "MUSEUM/LUDW.BMP". I found them on accident while poking around on the CD-ROM, so I decided to make them into gifs. MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 7:54, 27 September 2020 (EST) So, do you think those Ludwig sprites should have been used in the PC version of Mario's Time Machine, or do you think that it's a good thing they are unused? Also, what do you think those Ludwig sprites were going to be used for? MarioIsMissingDos (talk) 7:02, 28 September 2020 (EST)

We need your help. ^^

Hi, I'm a Big Fan of Dr. Mario World and I see than we still miss a couples of Doctors Animations as GIF. Would you accept to help us too added the rest of the bunch, specially the winning animations that would be very nice to have to. I know you are very busy, so I know it will take you a lot of effort to get back on this, but the good new is they doesn't give us New Doctors and New Assistants for this Month, so that mean Dr. Mario World is about to eventually close and we want to bring every beautiful things of this game they give us, before they shutdown the servers forever.

Long life to Dr. Baby Luigi and eventually Dr. Birdo, I hope! :P

Just for you know, I'm not very connected to MarioWiki.com, so if you want to contact me directly on dominicouimet@hotmail.com I will answer you as soon as I see your message and I check them almost everyday. ^^

I'd love to work with this but I'm extremely occupied right now. I'm sorry if I can't do it currently. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 17:13, November 20, 2020 (EST)

About sandbox

If a user wants to experiment, they should use their sandbox, not the main sandbox. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 15:27, December 4, 2020 (EST)

That's exactly what the main sandbox is for. Nonautoconfirmed users can't even make their own user pages yet, and users entirely new to wiki editing can gravitate towards that page, that's exactly what I did when I first created my account here. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 16:26, December 4, 2020 (EST)

Oh, sorry. I'm sorry for being harsh about it. Nonetheless, going another direction, saying "Hello world" is considered chatting, I prefer if that user should put that on Discord. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:29, December 4, 2020 (EST)

""Hello, World!" program is a common new programming quirk. What the user did is ultimately harmless. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 16:31, December 4, 2020 (EST)

Oh, sorry again. I feel like I took vandalism too seriously Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:33, December 4, 2020 (EST)

It's fine, not a big deal. The message will likely get removed down the line regardless anyway. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 16:34, December 4, 2020 (EST)

You're so good. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:38, December 4, 2020 (EST)

IP vandalism

Can't help but see that as a self-confession on their part, haha Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:56, December 5, 2020 (EST)

I tried to give that user a chance by simply blocking them from editing just the List of Boos article, they blew it. *shrug* Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 02:59, December 5, 2020 (EST)

Kindness is wasted on some people, I suppose. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:03, December 5, 2020 (EST)

I hope he doesn't vandalize that page or else I will hire Ray Trace to block him (again!) (for longer! (obviously)). Benjaminkirsc (talk) 14:04, December 5, 2020 (EST)

Wario congratulates you!

Wario has heard that you became a patroller, so he came here personally to congratulate you! What? You’re saying that it was already celebrated like two weeks ago? And that you’ve set up a Wario killing device that’ll kill- *BOOM* ...and there he goes.

Anyway, congratulations and have a very Merry Christmas, and a (hopefully) good 2021.

From the mightiest Mario around - MightyMario (talk)

Oh my god, did he welcome me to his World for the umpteenth time already? Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 18:16, December 6, 2020 (EST)

Let’s see, I saw a couple of dead Warios out on the front lawn, and a towering pile of them in a trash can, so carry the 3, divide by 5, solve for y, that’s the 10,548,927th Wario today. It never ends, does it? MightyMario (talk)

Clean them up, God. They smell even worse than before. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 18:40, December 6, 2020 (EST)

Why? It shows that Baby Luigi is not to be messed with. Personally, I like the smell. MightyMario (talk)

Question

Why do you prohibit Wario from your talk page? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 15:17, December 8, 2020 (EST)

Punching Wario is encouraged, not prohibited. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 15:20, December 8, 2020 (EST)

Okay, I don't know why punching Wario would be allowed, but it is your choice, and I'll let you decide your opinion. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 15:27, December 8, 2020 (EST)

Italicising boat names

Has that already been decided somewhere? Nightwicked Bowser

It's MLA standard, that's why. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 21:15, December 11, 2020 (EST)

Have no fear, for the Yellow Baron is here!

-Wah! Wario has flown over to drop off a package of good intentions. Inside the package is a coupon for a Wario free day! Wait a second... this coupon is expired! That rascal, always fooling us.

Completely unrelated, I feel like I have matured here on the wiki, don’t you think? Like I went from creating a fake page (which I got blocked for) to being a somewhat active part the community. MightyMario (talk)

Sure thing! You've certainly gotten better at learning the ropes in the wiki. But it's an ongoing process! Always improve, and treat your mistakes as part of your growth as a person. If you want an example of such, look no further than our talk page archives. We were, well, er, quite different 10 years ago when we were around your age. I'm still a bit embarrassed by myself at points but I've overall accepted whom I was in the past, and I do hope it becomes a learning and growth opportunity to well, reflect on yourself and make sure you don't feel bad about yourself in the end. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:37, December 12, 2020 (EST)

Thank you for the kind message, LGM! (also I have a nickname, it’s Mighty) MightyMario (talk)

All right, Mighty! Use your mop for good! This wiki does have a lot of mess here and there, so either clean it up or talk about how to approach them if you're not sure. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:02, December 12, 2020 (EST)

Life’s Ruff

An IP address keeps putting false information about Mario being in the episode. I reverted the previous edit from it, would you mind keeping an eye on the page? (oh and Wario says wah) MightyMario (talk)

omg you are the best thank you MightyMario (talk)

Yeah, if the IP continues to edit war without response, I'll take action against the IP. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 20:12, December 22, 2020 (EST)

jumping to questions

First of all, thx for rewriting my page on the jumping boots! It looks much better now. I have a few questions, mainly: what are categories and navtempelates, and how do I upload images to the wiki? Please relpy on my talk page so i know you replied in the first place. thx! Kirbyo (talk) 19:58, December 25, 2020 (EST)

Did you have a good Christmas?

I got the LEGO NES, LEGO Super Mario, Mario Tennis Aces, Super Mario 3D All Stars, and the Super Mario Bros Encyclopedia. What did you get? MightyMario (talk)

Covid royally screwed up hangouts so bleh. Got Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Shy Guy plush, cards, and candy. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 14:06, December 26, 2020 (EST)

Can I ask you a question? MightyMario (talk)

More YNI enemy models down the road?

I thank you for your work on the Raven Chick and other YNI enemy models like Blow Hard. But can there be more, like Petal Guy, Slime Drop, Bouncing Bullet Bill, Green, Yellow, and Pink Fly Guy, Pyro Guy, and others, if possible? There was a tweet from a guy named wilyg9, just pointing it out... Anyway, happy 2021 and good nite! --50.75.126.75 19:10, February 7, 2021 (EST)

Sonic

Calling something "symbolic" is hardly a radical statement of opinion. It is obviously symbolic if two long-time rival companies start using each others' characters for the first time. An opinionated, non-subjective word would be calling the moment something like "important" or "positive." Nevertheless, I deleted the word. I am prepared to continue trying to improve this article, barring a better explanation of why trying to make the quality of the writing better is somehow wrong. (Goombagumba (talk) 09:15, February 13, 2021 (EST))

Regarding the warning, to be fair, the last thing he undid was his own edit. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:27, February 13, 2021 (EST)

Yeah, but I've noticed that he had undid your edit before even addressing my informal reminder on the talk page that I had sent before then, and that was before him undoing Keyblade Master's edit. He should have brought it up in talk page rather than continuously attempt to put his revision back onto the page after he had been given an informal reminder for it. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 15:31, February 13, 2021 (EST)

Fan-made or official

Hi, do you know if this image is official artwork or fanart? I just think if it was official, it would have been uploaded before, and it was uploaded by a user who joined earlier today. Nightwicked Bowser 15:17, February 18, 2021 (EST)

Hello. Reverse Google Searching the image leads to results from fandom. The Wikia counterpart that was uploaded this file in question has been marked for deletion as unofficial artwork. In addition, the artwork has existed before Bowser's Fury's inception, appearing in a thumbnail for a mod video that was uploaded in 2018 and this image uploaded on fantendo dates to 2018. Signs indeed point to this artwork being fan-made. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 17:01, February 18, 2021 (EST)

Thank you, I marked it for deletion. Nightwicked Bowser 17:06, February 18, 2021 (EST)

Unknown character

Quick question: In the List of Yoshi's New Island Message Block hints article that you just created, why did you input a Private Use Area into hint #35? I'm just wondering because I'm not sure what that PUA is supposed to represent. ^(T|C) 18:32, March 4, 2021 (EST)

In the MSBT file, the strange character is supposed to represent a graphic to use (like the binoculars entry), but since I don't quite remember what the message is referring to, I just left it blank. I did recall encountering that message but I don't know what level it is found in. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 18:37, March 4, 2021 (EST)

"Discussion is required"

Actually, when the only official name known (or in this case, properly cited) in a name in another language, per MarioWiki:Article naming we always use an official non-English name over a conjectural name. Unless the Swim Ring Goombas have been officially and specifically named Goombas in English, then we wuold use the official JPN name. Doomhiker (talk) 15:54, March 5, 2021 (EST)

I'm not sure how they are named in-game, it just seemed fishy that the IP (who was ban-evading) insisted that it's the official name "despite what the masses say". Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 15:58, March 5, 2021 (EST)

Hello!

I just wanted to say... HAPPY MARIO DAY!!! Kirbyo (talk) 20:35, March 10, 2021 (EST)

I played as Mario and Dr. Mario in Smash Ultimate today sooooo I guess that counts for something. Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 22:21, March 10, 2021 (EST)

Mrs. Thwomp

While it would seem unlikely, I want to point out the character difference in question is the same that differentiates Goomba and Galoomba, and considering 3DW brought Galoombas themselves back (among other things), it is possible that they based the new enemy off an obscure thing from years before. Also, not only "just boulders," similar small-armed-Geodude-esque body stucture. Basically, I feel the similar name needs mentioned somewhere, at least in the Niol box. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:57, June 1, 2021 (EDT)

Feel free to mention it somewhere then. It's just that trivia points like those make me a bit leery, but further clarification would be appreciated.
