Re:Room 1-5+
The article looks fine to me, it's similar to how I wrote the Mario vs. Donkey Kong levels. Level articles are a strange case on the wiki, they're the exception to the "no strategy" rule. Though you could also just point out the objective and call it good, but that's boring :P I think how it is now is good, and you've been doing a great job with these :) 11:03, 8 February 2019 (EST)
 * You're welcome, and I'm sure they would! Though most people who visit this site aren't usually expecting walkthroughs, they're good to have for those that are. I prefer text guides/player's guides to video walkthroughs myself. Easier to just pick up where you left off and you can progress at your own pace. 11:35, 8 February 2019 (EST)
 * Yeah, when I write level pages, I keep things to the intended path (or try to, anyway). Multiple paths and strategies is something I think best works on Strategy Wiki. 12:39, 8 February 2019 (EST)

Re:Conjecture
Joke edits (possibly outside April Fools' Day) are still, by definition, vandalism. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:04, 22 February 2019 (EST)
 * Well, you took too long. And that's still not really acceptable, even as a joke. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:16, 22 February 2019 (EST)
 * One last thing: I actually did wait to see if you'd revert it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:27, 22 February 2019 (EST)
 * It was a simple joke at Bye Guy's own expense that was meant to be quickly reverted and didn't actually do any major damage to the article (such as blanking or inappropriateness). I'm not regarding this as vandalism, but that said, joke edits should stay off of the mainspace articles. 19:34, 22 February 2019 (EST)
 * Alright, understood. 19:38, 22 February 2019 (EST)
 * Look, I'm not trying to throw you under the bus or anything here, you seem to be interpreting my tone as being much harsher than it is intended to be communicated as. I personally don't see it as vandalism, but from a most literal perspective, it technically is, and want to caution you against that sort of thing lest you go down a slippery slope. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:04, 22 February 2019 (EST)
 * It's alright now, I understand. My apologies for acting up. 20:16, 22 February 2019 (EST)

Re: Tipping Stars
I can't extract the Tipping Stars backgrounds as they have multiple layers. But the game itself does have some small prerenders of the backgrounds, so here are those in PNG format. --Hiccup (talk) 09:24, 26 February 2019 (EST)

Maskass
IKR? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:02, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * The Mighty Maskass! Kinda sounds like a Cyanide & Happiness character. 13:09, April 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, look at Fat Wario's German name. 13:16, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

"pretty sure they also appear in new island. i'll look into it"
Special:Diff/2640045 No, they don't. I played the whole game (and watched videos for bonus leels), and can confirm you that they don't. -- 12:53, April 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * Then I must confuse them for something else. 15:53, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

Personal images
Two files (File:Untitled-2.png and File:SuperRadioPic.png) are marked as your personal images, but you don't appear to be using them. Checking to see if you plan to use them or want to use them again. 13:29, April 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * You should add the second image to your userpage then, to prevent it from showing up as unused. 13:43, April 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * Okay, that's corrected. But the image still has to be used. 14:01, April 17, 2019 (EDT)

Snowflakes
"The player" refers to how the player is playing as the characters, and it is not as fluffy as saying "the Kongs" (Saying "the Kongs" is still not that fluffy, but it is like saying something like "Mario starts on a small platform" instead of saying "the player starts on a small platform" when not on a character page where stating the character's name is nessecary) As for the last sentence, it has to be said as plainly as possible with the least amount of guide-like writing as possible. You do not even have to run to the Slot Machine Barrel anyways. 19:32, May 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * Fair, but you have not answered about the last sentence on the page (The part about running). 19:47, May 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * You could say "go to" instead. 19:58, May 10, 2019 (EDT)
 * Look at the end of this video. The uploader runs, rolls, uses Dixie Kong's Helicopter Spin, jumps, and walks slowly. The current wording makes it seem like running is the only way to the goal. 20:07, May 10, 2019 (EDT)

Clowns "and Jesters"
I would consider "Jesters" to be within the nebulous definition of "clown," much like harlequins and mimes. Therefore, I believe it should just be moved to "Category: Clowns." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:10, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

Your gripe about level articles on the wiki
I'm trying to figure out the message in your gripe about level articles on the wiki. Is it griping about about level articles in general, or just their quality here on the wiki? (If it's their quality on the wiki, then I agree.) Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 11:09, May 18, 2019 (EDT)

Mario-related media proposal
Hi, I was just wondering if you'd like a hand implementing your proposal? There's quite a lot to go through, so I'd be happy to help, I just wanted to check first so that I don't edit-snipe you. :) BBQ Turtle (talk) 07:37, May 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * I could start going through the Super Smash Bros. characters if you'd like? BBQ Turtle (talk) 07:42, May 19, 2019 (EDT)

Re:DK roll attack in Mario and Sonic London 2012 Olympic Games
Yeah, that's his Special Dash, it's a move which every character has in certain events which gives them a large but brief speed boost, but each character has a unique animation which is usually related to them (For example, Daisy's has flowers, Peach's has hearts, Bowser an Bowser Jr. spin in their shells), so it probably is a reference to the Barrel Roll. I don't believe there's an article for the Special Dash yet, but I think you should put something on the Barrel Roll page. BBQ Turtle (talk) 13:08, May 19, 2019 (EDT)

Adobe flash games
Bye guy, I found more information regarding Nintendo's flash games. 2 games in particular are both allegedly based on the original Mario party and are called wario's whack attack and Mario's memory madness. I would suggest looking at all of the YouTube videos about Nintendo's flash games including the ones posted by engadget and skelux. The latter is archiving all the games. All the Mario ones could serve as useful information for updates to this list of games. Lord Falafel (talk) 22:30, May 28, 2019 (EDT)

Looking at the website skelux is posting them all on could be helpful, too. Lord Falafel (talk) 22:37, May 28, 2019 (EDT)

Marking redirects
Hello, please put the deletion template at the bottom of redirects, as putting it at the top breaks the redirect. Thanks! 21:26, May 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Does it matter if the redirect is going to be deleted anyway?... 21:28, May 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * Good point, but it would be generally better if the redirect is left in working order. 21:29, May 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * I honestly prefer the redirect being broken, considering links to it should be fixed anyway and makes it easier for admins to get to it. 21:32, May 29, 2019 (EDT)

Browser or flash games
The Adobe flash article on the list of games organized by system has quite a few browser and flash games, but I'm not certain if I have them all. Especially all the ones we cover on the wiki. If there are any missing from the list, please tell me all of them. Lord Falafel (talk) 16:11, June 13, 2019 (EDT)

Thank you
Thank you for fixing some grammar on the Klaptrap page. I was too tired to revise my writing as a whole Results May Vary (talk) 18:42, June 14, 2019 (EDT)

Hogwash
I know this is old, but regarding the move from "Hogwash the Flying Pig" back to "Hogwash" a few years ago: is there another source that actually uses the shortened form? LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:00, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

Contractions proposal
Does it also applies on templates? Such as Template:Construction. -- 11:50, July 3, 2019 (EDT)

"Super Mario Maker" series
Pretty sure that came from Builder Mario's spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:45, July 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * You got a point there. 19:56, July 7, 2019 (EDT)

Extra Life Balloon
Okay, I'm not sure what should be done about this page. The more recent games call it a "Red Balloon", but in the original trilogy there are also green and blue variants that grant more lives, so should those be split out...? Or should I make a proposal about it? 05:22, July 12, 2019 (EDT)

Re: Table Tennis Plus
Thanks for catching those! I set the articles up in a certain way before I actually start playing the game and adding the bulk of the content, so that'll be what happened... and I was writing them pretty late at night. Thank you! :) BBQ Turtle (talk) 04:08, September 21, 2019 (EDT)

"We are all aging"
True, but "aging" as an adjective typically means "getting on in age," as in "a very high age." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:51, November 4, 2019 (EST)
 * Well, I'll be aging before I get to know all these subtleties. 17:54, November 4, 2019 (EST)
 * Language is weird. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:00, November 4, 2019 (EST)

"Mario's old friend"
I remember the Melee trophy called him "an old acquaintance," at least. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:19, November 27, 2019 (EST)
 * Looking at the Profiles page, through ctrl+f'ing I see no less than six instances of "friend" used in this manner, going way back to the Nintendo character guide. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:52, November 27, 2019 (EST)

MKT screenshots
What device do you use for Mario Kart Tour? I'm curious how yours is able to hide the status bar at the top of the screen like a lot of other apps do. 05:03, November 29, 2019 (EST)


 * Interesting. I might check it out, thanks (I have screenshots of the missing tour splash screens but they have the status bar; will upload them soon). 04:30, November 30, 2019 (EST)

Re: Subject
Um, sorry, what? I feel like I'm missing something with what you've just said there, any chance you could try reexplaining it? BBQ Turtle (talk) 15:59, December 3, 2019 (EST)
 * OK, sorry, I haven't heard about that before. It is taken from in-game, but from what I've seen the italicisation of that is all over the place, I honestly didn't know. BBQ Turtle (talk) 16:17, December 3, 2019 (EST)

Edit sniping
I know I've been really slow with the Play Nintendo articles, but if you're going to continue something I already have been working on in my sandbox, you should let me know first. 19:14, December 9, 2019 (EST)
 * @OMF He probably didn't know... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:16, December 9, 2019 (EST)


 * @Bye Guy That's okay, I just didn't know if you knew or not. If you do, just let me know if you're continuing a project I spent too long on (I actually recommend doing this on articles I haven't started on). 19:28, December 9, 2019 (EST)
