Talk:Super Mario Bros. 3

World Pages
The pages for every World are split between the NTSC and PAL names. For example, Big Island (World 4) doesn't exist, instead having Giant Land, but Seaside (World 3) takes the place of Water Land. Some worlds don't even exist like Ice Land/Iced Land (World 6) I'm thinking we need to be consistent, but I'm not sure which name to use. I'm leaning toward the PAL names, as they sound more interesting instead of XYZ-Land, though.Monty Mole 18:33, 18 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Don't most players play the NTSC version, though? Either way, note the other version's name for the world in the article and possibly create redirects. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 19:16, 18 August 2006 (EDT)
 * The name should be the one given in the most recent adaptation of Super Mario Bros. 3, namely the Game Boy Advance version (as released in North America). Newer versions allow for corrections in previous versions, and represent the most canonical source. -- Son of Suns

Pathetic
This is one of the best selling Mario games in history. Why such a small article? I mean, really... Super Mario Picross's article is equally long as this. I'll have to expand it myself when I get the time... --King Piranha Plant 21:29, 20 January 2007 (EST)
 * It is, indeed. AT LEAST a link to each world...
 * Yeah, this is truly pitiful. The good thing is, the worlds' articles are lengthy enough for worlds. Still, the game's article should be as long as Super Mario Bros.'s article. Oh, and, great to see you too. I haven't gone inactive, I've just been VERY, VERY busy writing my science fiction novel. But I sat down to play Paper Mario 2 the other day and remembered Mario Wiki. I was surprised to remember the fact that I hadn't done anything for so long here. o_o;; --King Piranha Plant 21:41, 20 January 2007 (EST)
 * SCI-FI NOVEL!?!? O_o! Sweet!
 * XD Yeah, I've been working on it for years. I've revised it a lot now and am now re-writing it for the third time. I finished Chapter 44 today and am honestly exhausted of computer, but I had to get on here sooner or later. Heh... Anyway, I'm going to go play my Wii. I'm about to beat Rayman Raving Rabbids. And about SMB3... Perhaps sometime tomorrow we can improve the article heavily with random information that should be on there. --King Piranha Plant 21:46, 20 January 2007 (EST)
 * AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ALL MY FRIENDS HAVE A WII BUT MII! Oh, well. I'll get one in a couple months. What's the novel about? And I'd love to work with you..
 * Leave a message when ready.
 * You have AIM or MSN Messenger? The novel is about many things, strictly chaos from a planet called Celestia overruns Planet Earth and two children (one a sixteen-year-old girl and one a six-year-old boy) make it out alive somehow. They wake up in a futuristic city (Celestiopolis) and their journey through the universe starts there. There's a lot more to it, and more characters that have been developed as well.--King Piranha Plant
 * I want AIM, but I can't install, thanks to my dad's computer protection software. YOur novel sounds sweet. Wow. Anyhow, tell me when you're on, and we shall... START! Oh, and I was gone for a while there. Sorry.

Worlds
Shouldn't the worlds of SMB3 be moved to the names they had in Super Mario Advance 4? After all, they are the latest and most correct names.
 * I agree. Those many "Land" names have only been used in the NES re-release (Virtual Console version doesn't count, as it is simply an unchanged emulated version). While the original names have been used (with a few differences) in the original NES release, in Super Mario All-Stars and in Super Mario Advance 4. And we have a policy to use the most recent names (which is also the reason for using the name Goomba's Shoe due to the GBA remake). I'd support a move. --Grandy02 11:26, 19 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Due to the mentioned policy, I don't think this needs a proposal or anything. Couldn't they just be moved to the GBA names? --Grandy02 11:41, 23 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Yep. I'll do that right now. But first, what are the names?

Super Mario Bros. 3: Flying Racoon
What's the source for the reputed Japanese title "Super Mario Bros. 3: Flying Racoon"? I never read that the game had any subtitle. There are no useful Google results for the title Koopalmier added. If there is no reliable source, it should be removed again. --Grandy02 06:36, 17 November 2008 (EST)
