I get a ton of those regularly, so don't be shy to ask me if you have problems or if you're interested in installing homebrew on your Wii, as well as making model replacements. If you're also interested in porting assets for Source, as in Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, or Gmod, I can help there too.'''

 https://i.imgur.com/QcmSGsD.gif Policy on projects I don't mind if you help participate in any my projects without contacting me first as long as you're not actively edit-sniping me as I write articles or add uploaded images to tables as I'm uploading them, because this creates edit conflicts and makes it even harder for me to save edits on articles I'm working on. However, it's generally still polite to ask first if it's ok to assist in my projects. The answer will be yes unless otherwise stated. I just don't want anyone edit-snipe police for me should someone else create articles out of red links that I was planning to create or create tables of items that I was about to create. Any help is very appreciated.

 * 1) Please leave all new comments on the bottom of this page, or click that "+" sign for a new header.
 * 2) Please sign your comments with or ~. Don't make me and others go through the hassle of using the  template for you.
 * 3) Please type your best English here. Typing like a semi-literate boob will make me treat you like a semi-literate boob.
 * 4) I strongly encourage you to read these pages before you ask me (or others) help with Wiki syntax, but I'll most likely help with your problems anyway.
 * 5) Please use common sense. If you think what you wrote in my talk page is inappropriate, chances are, it is.
 * 6) This also applies to courtesy. Please be courteous and kind at all times.
 * 7) I do not take any requests of any sort. I'm far too busy to please everyone, and while I do have an attitude that wants to please everyone, it's not feasible to do so.
 * 8) THIS INCLUDES FRIEND REQUESTS. If you want to be my friend, talk to me and stuff like that. Friendship isn't a thing to be accepted or rejected, it's earned. Like trust. I will not bite you if you casually talk to me, I promise.
 * 9) Think something I did is wrong and incorrect? It is fine to discuss it here in a peaceful manner. Insulting me or calling me out because I did something you don't like obviously violates a MarioWiki policy and you could get warned for it depending on the severity of it. Wouldn't it be just easier to just...discuss it? I won't bite if you don't provoke me.
 * 10) Don't bother if you're gonna troll here: the edit is gonna get reverted instantly anyway so no one will see it. I'm already trained enough to ignore idiots thanks to my experience here.
 * 11) If I tell you to stop doing something (eg leaving random messages on my talk page), it's probably because you're annoying me. Please don't continue leaving messages that I don't care to reply to.

Minion Quest story
The extension story itself is tied in with the original story multiple times. For example, Mario gets Bean Fever because he ate a Poison Mushroom and not an actual Invincibility Mushroom, because Captain Goomba picked the wrong mushroom and gave it to the Toad, who sent it to the video game arcade. Also, Bowser loses his memory and becomes Rookie because Captain Goomba accidentally crashes into him after jumping off the cliff of Hoohoo Village. Bowletta gives the order to attack Mario, and after the Koopalings have been defeated, they chew out Bowletta as the impostor. I think that the two stories are directly tied in with each other, not retconned with each other. I just don't think that the events of Superstar Saga could be retconned because when you pit the two stories side by side, they are tied in with each other, not retconned or contradicted. 17:20, 28 January 2018 (EST)
 * You still don't have any evidence that the developers planned Minion's Quest years beforehand. I will still assume they wrote this in as a backstory to connect the dots than them actually having any intentions of retelling the story later on. My revision still stands. 22:29, 28 January 2018 (EST)
 * Fine, but I really think that the story is a previously untold adventure and not anything brand new. The connections and tie-ins are there to justify that. 23:02, 28 January 2018 (EST)

Language
How do you know Russian? I don't even know any bit of it. 23:16, 28 January 2018 (EST)
 * That's great to hear. Anyway, sorry for being really hardheaded. I tend to get caught up in my emotions sometimes. 23:42, 28 January 2018 (EST)

Wario relation to Mario and Luigi
It's not unconfirmed if one source states it. Even if all the others don't, it's not completely unconfirmed, which is what you are implying. 20:33, 31 January 2018 (EST)
 * There is no source. That's why there's a refneeded template on there. Feel free to add it back once you get a verifiable source. 20:42, 31 January 2018 (EST)
 * There is a source. Nintendo Power stated it! That's what the statement said. I don't think anyone would add that in unless he knew for sure that was the case. I don't know why he didn't give a citation other than Nintendo Power, but that's just what it is. 20:45, 31 January 2018 (EST)
 * You're also missing the extremely vital &#91;citation needed&#93; tag on there, dude. 20:50, 31 January 2018 (EST)

Template
I created a template that we can implement via a separate proposal in the FA archive once its own proposal passes. Thought you might want to check it out.

P.S.: I noticed a few more mistakes in your FA archive draft. I fixed them here, and you can just copy-paste into your draft since I copy-pasted yours recently. 22:45, 5 February 2018 (EST)

Goombette
The only RPGs to even have discernable female Goombas are the first two Paper Mario games, with two later mentioning one from one of those (one just in a line of text). SMRPG and the M&L games don't, period, and neither does any other sub-series. Goombetty isn't even a Goomba herself, ans Galoombas are merely "related to" Goombas. So I still think it's important enough to mention. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:26, 10 February 2018 (EST)
 * Goomboss from 64 DS is a character, even if he originally came from Paper Mario. He's still a character in a platformer. Other RPGs have characters like Goomp and Captain Goomba, who are male. Not to mention how most of the other characters in the Goomba template are referred to in their respective media with male pronouns.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:31, 10 February 2018 (EST)

RE: Hi
You can talk to me more directly on Steam or Discord. I try to reserve my talk page for more serious wiki stuff. -- 20:21, 11 February 2018 (EST)

MKW .gifs
Does this .gif you uploaded a couple years back have all of the correct textures on the feet? Because it appears that there's an open mouth texture between each foot...not sure how this program works, just wanted to make sure that's a blunder on the game's part and not yours... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:04, 12 February 2018 (EST)

Super Mario
Off the wiki, when I hear people say "Super Mario," it's always in reference to the form, not the series. When they refer to the series, it's almost always through the informal "Mario series." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:21, 14 February 2018 (EST)

Bomb-Car
According to edit summaries, that was from one of the old competitions, which would make it from an actual game. Footage would be nice, I suppose.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:14, 17 February 2018 (EST)
 * You can check I suppose, though I suggest you undo your "delete to make way for move" edit until this is figured out. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:17, 17 February 2018 (EST)
 * Since they were only relevant to two competitions it would seem might not be too hard to find it on YouTube...but I'd have to do it later, as I'm in a low-bandwidth location right now. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:58, 17 February 2018 (EST)

RE:Mario vs DK Skipping Stones
Thank you for the question, but I am not sure. I initially only wanted to bring the page from its past miserable state to something more decent, but it seems I got carried away with it. Since I decided to tone down my editing, I resumed to doing small things like uploading images and correcting mistakes. But if needed, I will happily hop on board again with some substantial writing. What suggestions do you have for the page's current appearance? Do you think it looks good? -- 18:10, 24 February 2018 (EST)
 * Ay, thank you. What was I thinking when I listed the characters in a table? I changed that. I also changed the introduction a bit, to focus more on the game's novelty: tipping stars! You can check it if you want ;) I have found the whole soundtrack on YouTube, but I am too lazy to bring it here--plus, I imagine the files would have to be reuploaded to versions that are straight game rips anyway. I know I would put the reupload template myself. In any case, I'm afraid the red links and lack of media files might prevent any feature nomination for quite some time. But, let's be honest here, it doesn't hurt to have the page nice and clean like that, and I'm working towards it. -- 19:00, 24 February 2018 (EST)

Re: Re:Mario Kart Wii
You're welcome! I'm never really sure if an article is ready to be featured or not, but I do try and help if it's a subject I know about and can try to get it featured. Let's hope we can get Mario Kart Wii re-featured though! :D BBQ Turtle (talk) 15:29, 6 March 2018 (EST)

De Klonk is back
As seen by my ability to send you this. Hello! Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:04, 6 March 2018 (EST)
 * Oh, you know, just trying to keep myself from getting heated. I found a few more sprites intermixed in with the Yoshi's Island sprites from SMA3: Sluggy, Marching Milde, and probably Train Bandits, as the background for that one was a little lighter than the respective tiles I found in the sheet from Mario Universe...but it might just be a capturing problem. Finally moving the images after starting 2 weeks ago is a load off my back. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:14, 6 March 2018 (EST)
 * This guy here was what was on the table. And definitely from SMA3. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:28, 6 March 2018 (EST)

Podoboo Cog
Pretty sure that that name refers to the eyed thing in the middle, not the Fire Bar portion. But I don't know that for a fact. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:01, 7 March 2018 (EST)

Graphics of SMW2
I think the outline on this is wrong. It should be thicker, like that of the SMA3 sprite. Note how the outline appears thicker between the top of the closer arm and the body still, creating a bit of a clashing effect. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:50, 8 March 2018 (EST)

RE: Walkazo
I know that. I never meant to be mean to her even though she is gone. I never wanted for her to even be hurt. She helped many people, even me. You guys should tell people not to join the site unless you are 18 or up. So then you can deal with these people who hurt you when you didn't know the rules. I am 13 now, but I still find this wiki with to many people who expect you to know EVERYTHING. So I might as well leave like I did already. The abuse towards me back then really did change my life on how it is now.

You don't get what I mean a single bit. Also, don't ban me, because I am already out of my account by the time you see this. So long. (Also you are wrong. You really need to get better admins to help out.)

RE:RE:Hotel Mario
Sure! 23:51, 22 May 2018 (EDT)
 * You're free to help out with any section, though I think the lead, gameplay, development, and reception sections need the most attention.


 * By the way, I'm getting a lot of the info I found from sources already present on . 23:58, 22 May 2018 (EDT)

RE:RE:Small Mario
I know, but in this case when we're talking about earlier versions which Nintendo no longer supports and are no longer available, it doesn't make sense to use present tense as I feel it belongs in the non-fictional sense since Super Mario Run is a piece of mobile software and when talking about previous versions of software, generally past tense makes more sense than present tense. We see Wikipedia do this. It also can apply to Super Mario Run version changes. Additionally it's notable when talking about the inconsistencies between the past playable appearances of characters such as Peach, Toad and Toadette.--99.227.180.3 00:02, 23 May 2018 (EDT)

Oh OK. My bad. B ron 3000  14:36, 2 June 2018 (EDT)

Hey, hold up a second... (Baby Peach revision)
Just noticed that you undid a revision I recently did on the Baby Peach article; I do understand where you're coming from in terms of making sure it is mentioned - but I honestly thought that content in question was (and still is) suitable for the SMBSS articles themselves, including that episode. I still feel that as though that's a different case as compare to the current "Baby Peach" character design we have now. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 16:07, 2 June 2018 (EDT)

Need a quorum
Hi, I know this might sound like canvassing, but I'm actually being nonpartisan here: would you mind voting in this proposal? The reason I ask is because the proposal is just one vote short of the required quorum, I'd hate to go through the hassle of either splitting anyways or proposing a second time, and you voted in favor of a similar proposal anyways, so you might be inclined to willingly support this one too. I just hope I can get enough turnout before the deadline, which is five days from now. Thanks! 15:56, 7 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks for doing that! 16:22, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

Mega Mole sprite
You asked me to make a Mega Mole sprite, and I did! (several months ago....anyways, it's finally posted on the boards, though it still needs arms and feet, which was why I hadn't posted it then....I got tired of waiting for the endless stream of distractions to end ^^;; ) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 06:22, 8 June 2018 (EDT)

Images
Hi. thanks for uploading SSBU images, but when you upload an image you should make sure that it appears in at least one page (And i can't do it now because i'm having technichal issues). Thanks. 20:51, 12 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Never mind, the technical issues stopped and i added the images to articles. But next time please add images you uploaded yourself. 21:05, 12 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Thank you for your concern, but I know exactly what I'm doing regarding those images. Because of the bad traffic, I prioritize uploading images first then adding them to pages later. 21:16, 12 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Sorry if i said somehing that i was not supposed to say... I just got a little mad because i am currently working on trimming Special:UnusedFiles as much as possible, and i didn't wanted new unused images. 21:39, 12 June 2018 (EDT)
 * Well consider this: if you see a more experienced user uploading images, chances are, they know what they're doing. You should have given it some time before you ask about it. 21:41, 12 June 2018 (EDT)

Re:SMW2YI bosses
All well and good, thanks. Currently my main concern is the Burt the Bashful sprite, as it seems to have had too much cropping. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:56, 21 July 2018 (EDT)

Re: Mario Party 4 Hosts
I keep telling myself that I gotta finish those up. You are welcome to help if you want and I apologize if my laziness is kinda holding any progress back. I'm working on Goomba's now though cause I feel bad for leaving this project for so long. 23:20, 21 July 2018 (EDT)

I remember you too, boo.
*wave*

Wario of the day

Underrated Sunshine
That was on the "Did you know?" box a while back with a reference, maybe look through its history? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:41, 2 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Found the source, applied it to the trivia section. Thanks. 16:46, 2 August 2018 (EDT)

Reupload
Hi, just a friendly reminder that you might want to reupload File:MPIT SpaceWarp.png to include the wormhole. As it stands now, this could easily be confused with Event Spaces, which are a thing in the game, at least in Shy Guy's Shuffle City. Thanks! 02:10, 8 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I had the assumption that you never played that board since it notoriously stands out from all other boards in the series. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I figured that reuploading the Warp Space image would be easier for you, since those spaces only appear in Rocket Road, a board you likely have played before.


 * On a side note, I'll need you help. I took some screenshots of various spaces in Mario Party 10, but I don't know how to cleanly crop them. Since I'm under the impression that you're likely better at getting these kinds of images than I am, would you mind downloading the images from this link and cropping them to transparency? There might be one duplicate in there (but that's just because Gate Spaces look nearly identical to Boss Battle Spaces). Thanks! 15:07, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Yeah, being busy happens to everyone sooner or later. ;) On a side note, I'm afraid I couldn't find anything in the space listings for Warp Space. Even though Yellow Toad refers to them as such, the space listing in the final results screen erroneously refers to them as "Event Spaces" and doesn't even include the wormhole graphic, so...yeah, that's one opportunity shot. 15:26, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * I have a link you can use to get the information. Unlike in Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario Party 10's space descriptions come with an icon of the space/event to the left of the description. 15:39, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I was watching WiiLikeToPlay's playthrough of the game (they played the North American version) and can confirm that the spaces are indeed localized in America as "Warp Spaces", so I've updated the page accordingly. 15:48, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Yes, go ahead. There are many differences in space icons between games, anyways; the Boss Battle Space in Mario Party 10, for example, has its colors inverted from its Mario Party 9 appearance. 15:59, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * I was thinking that too. You can move the page if you'd like; it's completely fine by me. 17:23, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Yeah, the deal with Advance Spaces and Dash Spaces is confusing, plus the polar opposites of both spaces are called "Back Spaces". 18:48, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks so much! And, yeah, some of this will have to be fleshed out, like with Minigame Space, Dash Space, and Back Space, but that's another matter entirely. 18:55, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Maybe we can reupload it without the cropping... 19:14, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Hi, sorry to bother you again, but I uploaded three new images in album I shared with you. Would you mind cropping those out too? (Yeah, I completely forgot about those three.) 14:34, 14 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Thanks! To help you out a bit, the ones I'm looking for are "???", Event Space, and Homestretch. 14:58, 14 August 2018 (EDT)

SMW red space
Probably a relic when the red-flashing map spaces for level entry were considered the same thing, instead of being a Mario Party-exclusive page. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:28, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Yeah I've noticed that Toadette the Achiever got rid of it and forgot to change the infobox information. 20:31, 10 August 2018 (EDT)
