New issue

 * Indeed. With the new director election, this year's issues of the 'Shroom are pretty messed up. -- 19:36, 16 April 2011 (EDT)

Awesome Shroom!
I love the `Shroom because I just LOVE the Fake News! I wish I could work for it, but since I haven't been on in a while and I just made my account, I haven't gotten the full access to everything. What to do... grr... Kameka 08:59, 25 February 2012 (EST)


 * I love it too! :)

That sprite of the month thing
"This month’s sprite of the month is from Super Princess Peach. Walk by quietly when it’s sleeping! This little guy is like most of us: on Spring Break, ready for summer, away from school and fishing at the pond." (Except for, oh, maybe that HE'S DEAD)

Sorry, had to get that outa my system. Someday I'll get around to sending Ralphfan some back up articles from the Fake Fake News. One of them is for a funeral, and says "... (species name) will be most of the atendees, though Wayoshi will be attending just for the free food."

Are we going to get another SMG:Cosmic Tips Corner in next month's issue?--Yoshidude99 15:39, 1 June 2011 (EDT)

Spotlight
Hey, what happened to the 'Shroom Spotlight? I was looking forward to that this issue to see what game it would focus on! ThirdMarioBro: Mario,   Luigi,  and me! 22:20, 18 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Um...yeah, I'm looking into that. o_o

Why isn't the Single page for Issue LIII up yet? 08:27, 25 August 2011 (EDT)

Shroomy
I like the 'Shroom. I read it every month! The guys who work there rock.

I'm a new player, but I love the 'Shroom. The people who write in it must work really hard!

Newsletter
So this is the wiki's newsletter? With its own custom namespace? Cool.

Suggestion for images
I've been trying to categorize some of the uncategorized images on the special page for those images, an I've noticed a large percentage of them are from the 'shroom. It may be a good idea to make a shroom images category somewhere. Thanks for reading this.


 * See.

Music
HEllo!! i noticed in music and artwork the music was GONE!!!!WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY MUSIC???? please tell me. seriuosly it sucks without music

Complaints
Hey!

You really should look if our sections are objective enough, because you can't take seriously a section with "I like/I don't like" stuff. Let's improve this newspaper! :)

Quiz
What about a question in every issue? i can write them for the next issue what do you say?

Please post the answer on my talk

Background
as you did the background for the newspaper? --Sonic98 (talk) 09:06, 6 January 2013 (EST)

Cool!
I've noticed a TON of activity here compared to pikipedia, plus the newspaper. AWESOME! There are NIWA-opposing wikis still out there. But still, this the most lively wiki I've seen. pikberry149

Past issues
How do I read past issues of the shroom?RPG Gamer. I HAVE RPG!! (talk) 14:31, 2 April 2013 (EDT)
 * There should be an archives in the template

Mushroom Times
I just wanted to let you know that, in the instruction booklet of Mario Pinball Land, the kidnapping of Princess Peach is told by a newspaper called Mushroom Times. It seems to be the official newspaper of the Mushroom Kingdom, and it's a shame that the 'Shroom is not named the Mushroom Times :D 09:36, 7 April 2013 (EDT)

Is it me or...
...Did The 'Shroom suddenly gotten ten times better than when I last remembered? Keep that in mind that it has been a while since I actually read it, or drop by in MarioWiki for 2-3 years. I can say that the stuff is a lot more colorful, the interface in the main page is more manageable and direct; there's even rounded corners. It's a lot more vibrant and useful now than before. It's jam-packed full of effort plastered all over this. You definitely made me a regular reader now.

Suggestion: in those section boxes, force the " [read more] " text to have it's own line. It makes it look nicer. Example (mockup): Instead of ...and maybe make the  [read more]  bigger and bold it.

Anyway, I have to sleep. I'm very tired. I'll read the whole thing later. -- 04:11, 10 May 2013 (EDT)


 * We appreciate the feedback, thank you! I'll pass your suggestion on to the rest of the staff.

 * Thanks, RAP! We really appreciate it. -- 10:08, 10 May 2013 (EDT)

A competition could be good.
Sure,it could be nice.The 'sroom could do competitions like:The best fan history,best word to describe a scene,or anything like this :)

Ashley anEoTselkie ( Talk ) 16:34, 3 November 2013 (EST)
 * Thanks for your suggestions! We constantly try to innovate with different competitions, right now we have the Mario Party: Island Tournament, which is in its second round. -- 19:56, 3 November 2013 (EST)
 * I've got an idea for a comp, but I want to join up and become a member making the Mario Kart section. - 09:23, 20 May 2014 (EDT)

hi
you might remove this, but i cannot edit my page, do i need to make some edits? Toad the Mushroom (talk) 05:23, 25 March 2014 (EDT)
 * This is the wrong place to put it, but yes you need a few mainspace edits, and you need to wait a few days before becoming autoconfirmed.

We all ♥ The Shroom
I love the 'Shroom, as a fan of Mario for years. It is great to finally see some new sparks in Mario history. It includes fun topics. My all time favorite is the Fake News! The thing is, I have wanted Nintendo for so long to do an animated Mario movie with the same animation as beginning scenes from Mario spinoffs. I mean, wouldn't you? So I have a great suggestion. How about a section for an upcoming Fake Mario Game/Movie? Just a thought.

'Shroom is lookin' good
It is doing good, but, honestly, they should make the 'Shroom sign ups easier. I'd give it a ★★★★rating. ToadAwesome12

I ♥ Hiding Koopa!
Hiding Koopa is my favorite game. Seriously! I've been putting in "Hiding Koopa" into the search bar to just search for the little fella! --WhiteYoshi2014 (talk) 11:57, 2 July 2014 (EDT)

Helping Out
Can I help? I'm thinking about a rare image from Luigi's Mansion. I want to showcase it so people can SEE this image. Can I help?

Awards?
Excuse me, where are the winners of this year's Mario Award Ceremony? I can't find them anywhere. --What&#39;s my name? (talk) 04:25, 26 September 2014 (EDT)

Mario Gandhi in old Fake News
Excuse me, but where is one of the old Fake News sections, which has "Mario Gandhi" in it? 20:12, 27 September 2014 (EDT)

Please help me
I can't register on Marioboards, it keeps thinking I'm a bot even though I choose "yes" when it asks if i'm human.

Hi!
I'm SuperLuigiWorld and I would like to ask if you would stop cursing in Critic Corner

Some of the Guessing Games?
Why in the world are some of the things that you guess not Nintendo or Mario related? This is a Mario wiki. Other than that, though, great issue!
 * Hello Flying Mario595! I assume that you are talking about my Guess That Game! section in the Fun Stuff, although there are several other articles featured monthly that cover non-Nintendo and non-Mario related themes. Even though The 'Shroom is featured on a Mario wiki, its primary purpose is to serve as a MarioWiki community publication and to cater specifically to the diverse interests of our members. Naturally, our project's largest focus will be the Mario series as that is why most people joined the wiki to begin with; however, there are numerous people here that also appreciate other gaming series and even non-gaming themes that we discuss from time to time. This variety of coverage that we provide in each issue has allowed The 'Shroom to grow from 3 articles in 2006 to the 50+ articles we have featured this month. I appreciate your question, and I hope that my answer was able to help. &mdash; ', Director'''

How do I.......
.....View past issues? 15:33, 8 February 2016 (EST)
 * You can go on the search bar (just below the logo of the wiki), and write The 'Shroom:Issue 105, and the same thing, but change the number for all other past issue. Before Issue 100 they are write in Roman numeral system, Issue 99 is write like The 'Shroom:Issue XCIX. Hope in answer to your question.-- 17:36, 8 February 2016 (EST)
 * The 'Shroom:Archives also has a complete list of past issues. -- 17:37, 8 February 2016 (EST)

'Shroom suggestion
I would like to make a suggestion. What do you think if August's edition become a special Poochy edition. According to this section of the issue 100, Poochy is the mascot of The 'Shroom, this would be a nice way to commemorate Poochy and the reason why August would be the better month, is because Poochy appeared for the first time in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi 's Island, the game was released for the first time in Japan in August 1995 (Poochy mark its 20th anniversary of existence in August 2015). It's just a suggestion, an idea to which I had thought.-- 16:28, 15 February 2016 (EST)
 * Thank you, I will pass the suggestion to the rest of the Staff :) -- 16:31, 15 February 2016 (EST)

An idea
Can there be (or has there ever been) a topic on fan-made games, based on the Mario series, of course? I think it'd be pretty cool to see the (good) games fans come up with, whether they're from our members on the site or not. Guidelines or requirements (No porn, interesting gameplay, etc.) will have to be included, obviously. What do you think? (Alex95 (talk) 21:01, 13 March 2016 (EDT))
 * We have a section called Fangame Reviews on Critic Corner but it's been vacant for a while. If you want, you could apply for it! -- 21:13, 13 March 2016 (EDT)
 * Oh, cool! I'll see what I can do with that :) (Alex95 (talk) 21:21, 13 March 2016 (EDT))

I'm new.
Hello, my name is Quizmelon and I am a great Mario fan, despite not having played that many games. I just wanted to know if there was anything I could help with on the 'Shroom. I tend to prefer doing funny things as opposed to statistics, so is there anything I can do to help out?

(By the way, my favourite character is King Boo and my favourite game is Super Mario Galaxy 2.)

I don't understand.
I don't understand why it requires the Mario Wiki forums, I can't do The 'Shroom because of that. Only if there was another way... TabuuandPeach 13:56, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
 * You know signing up there is free, right? 13:58, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

I know that because Henry Tucayo Clay told me that, but I have no Forums account, that's because it requires E-mail, I don't have an E-mail address.... TabuuandPeach 14:28, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
 * It's recommended that you make at least one regardless. Emails are very useful, and would prove useful to you later in life when you need to fill out your emails everywhere. The purpose of it here is that if you forgot your password, admins can use your email to reset your account's password and therefore retrieve it. 14:56, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

Eventhough Im almost 15, Im not creating one until the age of 21 Hopefully somebody from the Forums can fix this. TabuuandPeach 16:19, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
 * ...Don't you need an email to sign up to this wiki? 16:38, 6 May 2016 (EDT)

It says that email is optional for the Wiki. But is required for the Forums, which is required for The 'Shroom, only if somebody could change it... TabuuandPeach 17:52, 6 May 2016 (EDT)
