Edit conflicts[edit]
Hang on, please be very careful when editing the sound test notes for the TTYD remake, I was trying to edit Chapter 7 when I was hit with an edit conflict from your side that I was not notified about. If you can, try to contact me in the Super Mario Wiki Discord server to communicate potential instances of edit conflicts. (As a side note, I mainly use the Discord for communication on editing the wiki, so talkpage responses are not guaranteed, but this is not by any means discouraging you from leaving messages on my talkpage or responding to me.) --EleCyon (talk) 10:16, July 10, 2024 (EDT)
- Oh sorry, I wasn't aware you were also editing at the same time. I'll be sure to talk to you on Discord if I edit the page in the future (I don't have anything else to add there for now). --Technetium (talk) 10:19, July 10, 2024 (EDT)
Re: TTYD Remake Character Sprites[edit]
I talked about it a bit here. Basically, the game uses "skeletal pattern" and "texture pattern" animations for its characters. Skeletal ones pose the individual parts and move them to make the animations, and texture patterns determine which of the character's sprites are visible. But the thing is that I don't think the people who assembled the full characters for Spriters Resource used the skeletal patterns as reference: compare the assembly of Bub-ulb to a screenshot of its default animation in a model viewer, and you can notice the positions of things like the flower and the eyes being off. I've been able to confirm that geometricentric and DogToon64's are incorrect, but I think fawfulthegreat64's are okay considering they have a good reputation in the community and are experienced with how the PM games work internally.

- Thanks for the info. Luckily, most of the sprites I uploaded were from fawfulthegreat64, so it wasn't a complete waste of time. --Technetium (talk) 17:22, July 11, 2024 (EDT)
Re: List of tattles in TTYD NS article[edit]
Hi, I have all the tattles and Tattle Log entries listed in User:Scrooge200/Sandbox (I'd recommend bringing them over from there because it includes all the text differences, I ripped it directly from the remake). I was wondering if the tattles needed to go there because they'd also be listed on the bestiary, so that might seem a bit redundant.
For base TTYD and 64, I'm less experienced with text rips from there, so I'm not sure I could do full lists for those, but I agree that they should be made. Scrooge200 (talk) 19:48, July 23, 2024 (EDT)
TTYDNS Trouble Center hints[edit]
Hey, if you need the Trouble Center hints, I ripped them all from the game's files and put them here. Scrooge200 (talk) 18:30, August 9, 2024 (EDT)
Re: TTYDNS Merluvlee Predictions[edit]
Yeah, I was able to get them here. Scrooge200 (talk) 15:17, August 11, 2024 (EDT)
- Everything I posted there is all the text from the game, I double checked and there really is none for the Red Key. Curiously, the numerical order of the hints does skip a few numbers, so they may have removed some in development. Scrooge200 (talk)

- Curiously, that's the only one without a hint: the numbers skip from 34 (the one in cabin 5) to 36 (at Riverside Station). I'm guessing it was removed for some reason? Scrooge200 (talk)

On Citations[edit]
I know it's not always realistic, but the earliest instance is generally prioritized. So for example, the original GameCube version of The Thousand-Year Door would be better to cite for the languages it was released in, then the remake would be good to cite for newer translations. Usually the exception would be if there's a source that came later that now uses furigana, like the Super Mario RPG remake, or if the remake renames something (we can assume in most cases it doesn't), in which both names should be listed. (Also, The Mushroom Kingdom should be replaced when it's just textual.) LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:33, August 26, 2024 (EDT)
