Talk:Mario's Picross

Good?
It could use more information, but then again Mario's Picross is not a very important topic in the Marioverse. At least we have a start...more can be added later. --Son of Suns 13:04, 19 July 2006 (EDT)
 * I never even heard of this game until now, so hats off to you, HK-47, for creating an article about an obscure game. :) Wayoshi 13:07, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

I never played this either. I had heard about on retronintendo.com, and then saw it under wanted pages. H K

Right, see how I site my sources?
 * I played this game and expanded the article. I hope it is understandable how the puzzles work, could you take a look at it? The game isn't that unimportant, since it was successful in Japan and the beginning of a whole series. --Grandy02 13:46, 3 March 2009 (EST)

I agree to you guys. (user:mia90)

Order of Time Trial puzzles
Through the use of hacking tools in an emulator, I've found a way to select which Time Trial puzzle you want to play. More importantly for the purposes of this wiki, I believe the memory addresses used also provide insight as to the proper order of the last 64 puzzles, as they appear to be arranged in the game's memory in the same manner as the first 192. If I were to create a list of these puzzles in order, would it be an appropriate thing to add to this page? -TPIRFanSteve (talk) 03:18, 29 June 2013 (EDT)
 * Sure you can, as long as the puzzle order isn't confusing. 19:37, 29 June 2013 (EDT)
 * It can easily be laid out exactly the same way as the charts for the other three courses. -TPIRFanSteve (talk) 20:11, 29 June 2013 (EDT)

Star Course 6-G "Mud"
I think anyone who has played this game was left wondering WTF is up with "Mud", since it clearly doesn't look like mud in any way. It turns out that in the Japanese version it's called タニシ, which is the Japanese name of a family of freshwater snails called Viviparidae. Their common names include river snails, mystery snails, and mud snails. So it looks like they meant to translate it to "mud snail" and forgot the word "snail". I think there should probably be a note explaining this somewhere, since it's a localization error; not really a mistranslation, but more of a typo - in this case a missing word. I puzzled over this for more than 20 years until I finally just played the Japanese version to see what the Japanese name was. 174.117.89.25 01:05, January 13, 2022 (EST)
