Talk:Coin Rush

Screenshots
Some time ago, Lindsay has requested me a couple of Screenshots.

Now that I've sent her the entire ZIP File, she didn't seem to notice it at all.

For this reason, I'll post the Screenshots here, completely RAW, so the Cropping and placement on the Wiki is all up to you.

Coin Rush Screenshot Pack

 * I could, but I have no idea which style the people here want to have.

Merge Coin Rush to New Super Mario Bros 2
Every game mode should be in the respective game that appears in to make the game's article complete. Proposer: Deadline: September 9, 2012, 23:59 GMT

Merge

 * 1) - Well, we had these experiences in the past, so this won't be an exclusion to be merged.
 * 2) Per this proposal and the standard set by the merging of all the other modes such as the ones in brawl.
 * 3) - Per the standard. Plus, it's far more efficient to have it in the same article. Fewer clicks.
 * 4) This is our current standard. Leaving it unmerged would be inconsistent with our current pattern.
 * 5) Per all.

Don't Merge

 * So, all game modes should be merged? Wait, what about this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, and this one. Besides this page has too much good info to be merged.
 * 1) Per Koopa K and MarioSmasher. You forgot this one as well.
 * 2) – Does the game's article look INCOMPLETE without the game mode merged to? NO! And we have a long page, so the game article would get too crammed.
 * 3) - Per all.
 * 4) - Per all.
 * 5) Per Koopa K
 * 6) - Per all.
 * 7) -Per all. Just make Coin Rush a separate article. Remember we don't need to merge this so why merge this?
 * 8) - Per JORDAN DEBONO. @Coincollector Technically, it is a minigame.
 * 9) Per Koopa K.
 * 10) Per all, especially the first three.
 * 11) Per all.
 * 12) Per Koopa K and MarioSmasher. The page is TOO long. And yes, do all game modes have to be merged?
 * 13) I think that just having a brief summary of the game mode on the page, and a link to the seperate page is sufficient enough. I say, don't change anything, leave it how it is.
 * 14) Important separate mode. Not to mention the streetpass function makes the page too long.
 * 15) - Per Koopa K.

Comments
Every game should mention their modes, but not fit all the information in one single article, especially if the mode is significant. A summary and link to the main page is enough.

When you think about it, the Subspace Emissary did have its own article at one point, but it ended up being merged with the Super Smash Bros. Brawl article, despite the fact that it had plenty of information. 09:20, 27 August 2012 (EDT)


 * It's better to start a new fashion then to follow a bad one. That's my opinion of course. 09:21, 27 August 2012 (EDT)

The real problem of making articles for game modes is that you're adding plenty of information on them and little to none on the game's article - in the worst of the cases, replacing the content of a section in a  link. Most of the examples given by opposers are from MP9, and it seems this is a major issue we should discuss sooner or later to avoid incosistency on other game articles and modes.


 * That is fine if the main articles are thirsty for words, but NSMB2 is very complete and certainly doesn't need more words then it already has. 10:03, 27 August 2012 (EDT)
 * I agree with JORDAN DEBONO, we don't need an overload of info

Sorry, I don't see anything that makes the NSMB2 page look right by now. There is no description of game modes, no depth in gameplay section and Trivia section overloaded. However, it's too soon to make a conclusion of this discussion, so I'll wait other users to give their opinions
 * Good Call.

If all game modes were on the games page then the page would be too big.
 * Could we use a on the actual game page, linking to this article? I think this article is much better-developed than other mode articles that I've seen merged, which gives it an excuse to remain unmerged.

@Marioguy1 Unfortunately not, I put the possible consequence of putting the in that section, unless you can summarize the mode in the article first and then (but still personally not recommended) add the Main template.

Please note that the Super Smash Bros. Brawl article was lacking words and needed the SSE to be merged into it.

Well, I think there are two different types of these sort of things, minigames and modes. The SSE was a mode and was merged. Minigames are stuff like Whomp Stomp and Bombsketball. I actually think Coin Rush fits more as a minigame than a mode.
