Kinder Joy: Super Mario clarification

Hey Yoshi18, I noticed you made some edits on the Kinder Joy: Super Mario article regarding its release date. I want to clarify that there are 2 different Super Mario Kinder Joy toy lines. The first was the 35th anniversary line from 2020, and there was a much more recent 2025 line with some different toys that haven't been covered yet (with some from the 2020 line seemingly being redesigned for the new line, making things more confusing for us). More evidence to suggest this is the Wayback Machine's history with this site, with the oldest archive being March 4th, 2025. I think its very unlikely that this site only started getting archives recently if it was created in 2020. My best guess for this site's release date is early 2025, but nothing is concrete. Rykitu March 19, 2026 22:59 PM UTC

I was actually thinking of 2025 too but I wasn't completely sure. I think doing 2025 is the best possible date for now, yeah. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 23:17, March 19, 2026 (UTC)

Floaty Fluff

Hey, how is it going? I was wondering how much time you need to finish the Floaty Fluff page. I'd really like to have that proposal implemented so I can work on others. If you need help, here you have a draft that I was making. Also, if you do not want to make the page anymore, I suppose it is fine, just let me know so I can work on it myself. Mr. Sorbetti (talk) 00:59, March 24, 2026 (UTC)

Oh, sorry! I absolutely forgot about it overtime. I was gonna do it the day I asked you if I could, but things got in the way, so I said to myself that I would do it some time later. But yeah, eventually I forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me, though! I made the page for it now! Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 17:05, March 24, 2026 (UTC)

Curious Poplin

Do you have a citation for Christine Marie Cabanos voicing Curious Poplin in the Nintendo Switch 2 edition? It is possible, although unlikely, she was recast.--Illuminoid (talk) 22:40, April 6, 2026 (UTC)

I mean the normal Poplins in the Switch 2 Edition are still voiced by her (unlike the Talking Flowers which were recast). Also, she only does vocal effects for the Poplins (unlike Talking Flowers), so (just like with Peach, the Toads and Toadette) they likely didn't replace her. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 16:13, April 7, 2026 (UTC)

Yes, it is likely she voices Curious Poplin, but it is not confirmed. We should avoid speculation on articles. --Illuminoid (talk) 20:30, April 7, 2026 (UTC)

She still voices the main Poplins in the game tho so why would they replace her for just the new Poplins? Seems very unpractical to me. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 21:22, April 7, 2026 (UTC)

As I have said, it is very much likely she voices Curious Poplin, but it is not totally confirmed. Unconfirmed information should not be placed on articles to my understanding. --Illuminoid (talk) 22:04, April 7, 2026 (UTC)

Crossovers with Sonic the Hedgehog

Heya, I saw that you edited my draft page on the topic above twice. I'll tell you two things, nothing too alarming but just to let you know: firstly, please just ask me for permission before editing my page drafts. Second, while I do admit that the Sonic Fandom wiki features more extensive coverage on certain subjects (eg the mobile games), I believe Sonic Retro should have higher priority in interwiki links due to y'know, the pitfalls of Fandom unless Sonic Retro simply doesn't have an article for that particular subject, which is why I used a Fandom link when referring to the main Sonic the Hedgehog series in the infobox, for example. I'll go ahead and revert your edits for these reasons. While yes, this isn't the first time a similar thing happened on the same page, at least that edit featured an actual benefit to it, that is adding a relevant image. SuperGamer18 (talk) 17:25, April 19, 2026 (UTC)

Oh man...sorry for not asking for permission! And yeah, more official wikis (as in, not fandoms), go first yeah. I totally understand why my edits will be undone. One more thing, though. About Sonic Rumble Party, isn't it just called Sonic Rumble? Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 21:01, April 20, 2026 (UTC)

Sonic Rumble was the former name of the game. They've started adding Party to the title since the Smurfs crossover I think, and since wiki policy prioritizes newer names for things like games and Sonic Retro didn't update that, I have to change that myself. Haven't implemented it in most other Sonic-related subjects however. SuperGamer18 (talk) 21:54, April 20, 2026 (UTC)

It seems like the name was changed recently (in March this year). I wonder why they would change it tho. The name of the game was already perfect in my opinion. Adding "Party" to it makes it feel kinda stale. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 13:25, April 21, 2026 (UTC)

Well, that's Rovio's fault, not mine (remember, they were bought by Sega a few years ago). SuperGamer18 (talk) 17:36, April 21, 2026 (UTC)

File name changes

Please avoid moving file names if possible, it breaks older revisions of the page, creates unnecessary busywork for staff, and most importantly breaks any possible links to the file from outside the website. The name "File:SMG Hidden Launch Star.png" is legible, sufficient in describing the subject and isn't breaking any possible naming convention among other files. — Lady Sophie_17 ^(T|C) 14:52, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

There are two unused launch stars in Dusty Dune Galaxy, though. We just don't yet have an image for the second one yet. I thought it would make sense to give File:SMG Hidden Launch Star.png the name "File:SMG Dusty Dune Galaxy Hidden Launch Star 1" (similarly to File:SMG Deep Dark Galaxy Launch Star.png) in case we ever get an image for the second launch star. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 14:58, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

We will cross that bridge if we get to it. In that case the second one can just be called "Hidden Launch Star 2" or something similar. — Lady Sophie_17 ^(T|C) 15:03, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

This is a bit off-topic but just wanna be sure before I do something unwanted. Can I move the last couple MKWii icon files (namely File:MKW Icon mode Balloon Battle.png, File:MKW Icon mode Coin Runners.png, File:MKW Icon mode Race.png and File:MKW Icon mode Mirror.png) so they match with the other icon files or should I leave them how they are? Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 15:13, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

Sure. — Lady Sophie_17 ^(T|C) 16:03, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

I named them that way so they'd appear next to each other alphabetically, along with the other icons you had moved before you made that message. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:30, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

Wouldn't it fit more though if they were named like most other icons in the game? Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 17:46, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

Those were the only icon images of that size. The idea is "this is an icon, a cup icon more specifically, and mushroom most specifically." Thus all appear next to each other in the category. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:05, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

I actually didn't think of that. But what about all the other images? They're named "MKW [insert thing] Cup/Mode (excluding Wii Stages and Retro Stages, where "Cup" and "Mode" is excluded) Icon". Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 18:36, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

Looks to me there were several different naming conventions due to different uploaders at different times. The ones I uploaded previously used scaled-up versions of the item icons for some reason. Regardless, it's generally discouraged to move things here unless they -need- to be, which is why I didn't move the others to match mine when I uploaded those. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:00, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

I totally get that, but I thought it'd make sense for all the images to be named the same (considering that's the case for MKWorld). I won't do it for other games, as that will cause too much of a moving and replacing chaos. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 22:49, April 27, 2026 (UTC)

Getting New Super Mario Bros. U to Featured

Hey! It's me Paradox from the Super Mario Boards! Since you agreed you wanted to help, I think we should talk about what we should do. I also have a question. First of all, you said that you think New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is going to do better, why do you think that? I want to know so we can get on the same page. Thank you for helping! 🌀Paradox🌀 (talk) 23:36, April 28, 2026 (UTC)

The main reason I think that would be better is because that way we also somewhat include New Super Luigi U. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 16:48, May 1, 2026 (UTC)

That makes sense, also, I got Boo1268 helping, so I'll ask his opinion on this. Paradox (talk) 22:38, May 3, 2026 (UTC)

Dutch name for "stelsel"

Hi Yoshi18,

I saw that other users have translated the word "stelsel" with "system". I get what you mean, but I do not think that translating it as "galaxy" captures the essence of the word "stelsel" as in "sterrenstelsel" i.e. "galaxy". The usage of the word "Stelsel" with "System" is also done with the word "Zonnestelsel" <-> "Solar System". Thanks for your time!
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Accipios (talk) at 18:49, May 12, 2026 (UTC).

Still, I'm Dutch and "stelsel" is in this case a short way of saying "sterrenstelsel". Also don't forget that this is the Super Mario Galaxy games were talking about. I'm very sure "stelsel" stands for "galaxy" here. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 19:27, May 12, 2026 (UTC)

MK8D Character Tables

Just double-checking, you're still planning on renovating the character table(s) for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, right? Just want to make sure before we bother doing anything to them as part of our pass on every wikitable's styles, since if you're still planning on working on those, we'll relent on the character tables. ~Camwoodstock ( talk ☯ contribs ) 03:02, May 21, 2026 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reaction! I eventually kinda forgot about it after my FA nomination failed. I should really get to it again sometime soon. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 21:02, May 28, 2026 (UTC)

Redirects

Porplemontage clearly stated that redirects with alternate casing should not be deleted. Capitalization becomes an important factor when searching by the URL. He also stated that redirects do not use server storage, but deleting them certainly does. There is no harm in having them. --Illuminoid (talk) 12:34, June 14, 2026 (UTC)

That was when I was talking about redirects that had a different capitalization than another redirect. This is a redirect that has a different capitalization than the main article. Besides, none of the pages that currently link to the redirect should link to it anyway. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 13:21, June 14, 2026 (UTC)

Signature 😎

Hey, your monthly-changing signature is pretty cool! Keep up the good work! (I stole some of your code) NSB Gamer (talk/contribs) 8:35, June 30, 2026 (UTC) Aww, thanks man! That's nice of you! Also, I don't mind that you stole some code. Admittedly, I "stole" (I don't really wanna call it stealing if you just want your signature to look cooler like other people) from Mario jc and Sparks. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 10:32, June 30, 2026 (UTC)

Regarding Thai romanization

The romanization system for transliterating Thai was standardized to be Paiboon+, as documented in the Manual of Style. Please note that this is different from the RTGS system that some may use, which does not indicate tones and merges a lot of contrasting phonemes.

It is true that a romanization should be added along with a name entry. Though if you are unsure how to transliterate Thai, it would be better to wait for a person more experienced in the subject to deal with it. Thank you! Dominoes (talk) 05:20, July 8, 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up! I've changed my way of romanizing now to use Paiboon+! Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 15:05, July 10, 2026 (UTC)

Initials redirect

Hey, the initials you added in the article pages have been reverted. While I understand your intention to help, the excessive use of initials is misguided and can undermine the quality of the game pages and articles. It will make the disambiguation more confusing and unnecessarily complicated. Although these initials are meant to assist users in finding game articles more quickly, their misuse can do more harm than good. This is evident in the pages linked here: Sneaker Super Mario and SS Sea Star. L151 15:06, July 9, 2026 (UTC)

I have a question: if the redirect for the MSSSS (MSS Sea Star) got removed (likely because it's not a game). Shouldn't the same be done for SSM (Sneaker Super Mario)? Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 14:55, July 10, 2026 (UTC)

@Yoshi18 Sneaker Super Mario has a redirect per the proposal to give physical games redirects. Nelsonic (talk edits) 16:32, July 10, 2026 (UTC)

Ohh, got it. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 16:38, July 10, 2026 (UTC)

Fixing Userbox Glitch

Hi Yoshi18! I'm new here and I happened upon your user page when I was looking for inspiration for my own. I realized some other users seem to have a glitch when showing their own userbox in the body of their page. The characters "|- |" show up and the userbox overflows to the bottom of the section. I'm not sure if this is a new issue or exclusive when viewing through desktop browsers, but I have a solution! We just need to wrap the userbox code with brackets and single linebreaks like this:

{|

**Insert userbox code here**

|}

I didn't want to be aggressive by editing your own user page to fix it, but I hope you consider using it! Primative (talk) 00:26, July 10, 2026 (UTC)

Also, simply using Userboxp will fix it too! Primative (talk) 14:15, July 10, 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the solution! I've been running into that problem too but I never bothered to fix it (as others have it too). It's also nice to see that some people take inspiration from my user page! Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 14:57, July 10, 2026 (UTC)

Unnecesary todos

We appreciate your enthusiasm in adding the todo template to pages, but we feel you should be more selective in adding it on articles. The todo template in spirit, is to provide editors with a list of articles that need fixing - ones that have lot of missing information, vague wording, bad writing and so on. Using it for things like requesting the name of a game mode in every language a game was localized in or requesting the birth date of voice actors (information that, the majority of the time, is not public knowledge) is not really in that spirit and massively clutters the category, making it more difficult for other editors to find articles that need serious elbow grease. --Glowsquid (talk) 02:06, July 10, 2026 (UTC)

Oh yeah I completely get that (and stopped doing it after my proposal about making a template for it instead. Yoshi18 (talk/contribs) 14:51, July 10, 2026 (UTC)
