Talk:Papa Mario

Should we call this "Papa Mario", since the other parent is "Mama Mario"? Or should we call "Mama Mario" something like "Mario & Luigi's mother"? It seems kinda awkward to me that their both something diffrent. IMO, Papa Mario would work out here.


 * Mama Mario was actually called that in the live-action TV show (I think), while Mario and Luigi's father was never referred to by name. This is the only title we can use for this article that is not conjectural; as for the not-yet-made Mama Mario article, using an official name is better than a label like "Mario and Luigi's mother". It's awkward, but it's policy. - 21:40, 4 December 2008 (EST)


 * This character was actually called "dad" during the ending of Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island. -- P.S. Walkazo, you deserve some major props. You did a good job of covering all the information, even contradictory information, without falling into baseless speculation. =)
 * k. I see now. Well, we can't just move it to "dad" I guess, so lets leave it like this, and make some redirects.

Wait...where does Mr. Mario come from? Is that official? --

Oh, in Super Mario Amada Issunboshi, Mario's dad is called "Papa" and his mom is called "Mama." --


 * It was on the Mario and Luigi's Parents article, which is where I got all the information (I just chopped out the Mrs. Mario stuff and rewrote it all, but thanks for the kudos anyway, SoS). Seeing as "Mario" is Mario's (and thus, presumably his fathers') surname, "Mr. Mario" would be what he'd be called (unless he was a doctor or a knight, which is not the case as far as we know). It's not official, though... - 22:14, 4 December 2008 (EST)

Sub-Levels
I think the article was fine with each of the appearances sections as second levels. And, just for the record: I was planning on taking all the speculation out of the family section and popping it back in there (lol, no pun intended with "pop"). 14:50, 8 December 2008 (EST)


 * Well I did that because maybe someone would want to skip all the appearances information and move to other sections in the table of contents. If they are all listed independently, a reader would have to check each one then move on; but if we put them all under a single "Appearances" section, they can easily skip ahead to other sections. --
 * Agreed. If I can work the relatives section into the introduction like I did personality and physical appearance information, I will make each appearance section a level 2 header again, but otherwise I'll leave it alone.  16:27, 8 December 2008 (EST)
 * I might even separate those two sections (physical traits and personality) out of the introduction - it's really big right now as it is. Even if the sections wouldn't have that much content in them, I feel they would be a good way to organize information, instead of cramming it all into the introduction. --
