Twilight City
I see you tagged Twilight City with the construction template earlier, implying you would work on it. It was added in mid-2017, and not much has changed. Since I've been working on the Mario vs. Donkey Kong pages, I thought I'd ask if I could work on the Twilight City page first rather than just go ahead with it. 19:30, 5 April 2018 (EDT)
 * Okay, thanks! 11:14, 6 April 2018 (EDT)

Batto Shuruken
Hey, can you verify whether page 159 of the Perfect Daijiten is referring to the Birdface-looking things or the projectiles they fire? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:32, 9 April 2018 (EDT)

Fat Guy
Hello, what unusual name is the [[Media:YTTshogakukan.jpg|Yoshi's Universal Gravitation Nintendo DREAM guidebook]] giving to Fat Guy? I recall when I Google Translated the Japanese Wikipedia's articles for Engrish lels, I noticed that they had the two separate, and it seems there is a naming difference here from the SMA3 guide. I just don't know enough Japanese to know what it is. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:18, 11 April 2018 (EDT)
 * All right, should they be split, then? King Debuhō's artwork from Topsy-Turvy was reused for Fat Guy's Yoshi's Island DS artwork, it seems. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:13, 16 April 2018 (EDT)

"Super Bowser"
You said here that you had seen Bowser's giant form called "Super Bowser" in a Prima guide. It seems I've been wrong this whole time about it ever being called Giant Bowser in the M&L games. Do you know if the form was ever referred to in another guide? It would be good info for a proposal I'm planning on making to deal with the article. 10:32, 24 April 2018 (EDT)


 * Okay, thanks.

Fiery Walking Piranha
Was it intentional to say that the Japanese name came from the New Super Mario Bros. U section? I just found that odd. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 11:30, 25 April 2018 (EDT)

Beta Wario World
I was considering changing what he had put myself, but reconsidered, as it was specific to the E3 2002 build. Was that not a beta build? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:25, 30 April 2018 (EDT)

Mega Goomba
Should Mega Goomba just remain as a redirect, or should it be deleted and the boss moved over it with an about template? Because I'm thinking that's the preferable scenario.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:19, 1 May 2018 (EDT)
 * And how do we know that the Mario Party one is just intended to be a Big Goomba and not its own entity? Mega Sledge Bro, Mega Monty Mole, and Mega Blooper seemed more like individuals, or at least to the degree that Raphael the generic enemy Raven was.

Carbo Cookie
Hi, can you perhaps verify that which is going on with the Carbo Cookie page, particularly with the link given ? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:59, 6 May 2018 (EDT)
 * Is it supposed to be the Carbo Cookie? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:45, 6 May 2018 (EDT)

Spike Bar/Spike Roller
You didn't specify what Toge Roller was on your notice on the Spike Bar page. All I can tell is that it refers to something in SM3DW; however, I do not know if it refers to just the things the Spikes spit out, the teeter-totter-platform based ones, or the Rolling Bones-spiked bar things in general from that game, including the spinning ones. Lots of variation, and those were just the behaviors that seemed relevant to the name. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 04:58, 15 May 2018 (EDT)
 * Probably. I mean, Cheep Cheeps can do just about anything in many single game appearances, so it wouldn't be a stretch for other things to follow the same basic principle. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:52, 15 May 2018 (EDT)

RE:Hotel Mario Reviews
Well, according to the reception and sales policy, "Of course, reviews are not the only things that can be used for reception sections. Ranked lists, post-mortem articles and the like can also illustrate a given game's legacy. User scores on larger publications and Nintendo's own built-in systems (such as on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS or Wii U) can also be used, especially if there's a noticeable discrepancy between critic and player reception." I bolded the last part because this is especially true with Hotel Mario, as its reception now is very different compared to its reception in 1994. Now, I know there's a "However..." after the quoted text, and I did already remove one review with borderline reliability, but like I said, this needs to be a case-by-case basis, especially because the RabbidLuigi review did have some Nintendo Life involvement. All in all, I think the sources as they are now do a good job at illustrating Hotel Mario's negative reception. 18:25, 21 May 2018 (EDT)
 * Even so, I'd like to see what other users think about this. I'm trying to make Hotel Mario a featured article, and will probably ask someone else to review the article, so who knows? Maybe they will be removed at some point. 19:47, 21 May 2018 (EDT)
