Talk:Fourth wall

I have a question about that one in Super Mario World. If coins are spelling a message to the player, is that really breaking the fourth wall? It's not a character who knows they're in a video game. It might just be a message from Nintendo. Anyone agree? Disagree? Orangeyoshi. Sorry about not signing before.


 * Sign your comments. Also, it breaks the fourth wall still because its a message from Nintendo to the player... http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif ...yeah.

That counts as breaking the fourth wall? It's not just when the character does it? Oh well. Now I know.Orangeyoshi 20:43, 9 January 2008 (EST)... wait, there's something else. I just beat the game in Super Mario World (well actually, the GBA version), and at the ending party at Yoshi's house, I'm pretty sure Princess Peach was waving to me. Has anyone else noticed this? Beacause it should be in that section, as well as the row of coins. Orangeyoshi 07:56, 20 January 2008 (EST)

I'm not sure, I do have the game (GBA), but I never noticed it.No, wait, I remember that everyone was waving yeah, remember that when they gather at the tree house and peach is waving and Mario and Luigi had 2 fingers up...--Super mario fan 12:03, 20 January 2008 (EST)Super mario fan

Orangeyoshi 20:51, 21 January 2008 (EST) Yep, that's right. But we don't know if that happens in the original-- it probably does, but I don't have the guts to put it in myself. (Go to Talk: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and you'll see why not.)

I could do it. --Super mario fan 15:38, 22 January 2008 (EST)Super mario fan Hey, in Super smash bros. melee, when a player gets smashed into the T.v. screen, does that count as a fourth wall? --Super mario fan 18:09, 24 January 2008 (EST)Super mario fan

I guess so. (Actually, it would be breaking the fourth T.V. screen!) By the way, do we know that the Peach-waving-Mario-Luigi-two-fingers-up thing doesn't happen in the original? We'd have to ask someone who played the original. Orangeyoshi

BLOOP!
In Mario kart DS/Wii the blooper is atacking the character because they go all black. (Covered with inky stuff)---More news from Shadow Yoshi)

I agree. It's probably showing ink to show what the character is seeing, and to have use for the item. I'll change it now. Fludd 14:22, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

For-to?
This article is good, very comprehensive, but something seemed strange...

"Thanks so much for-to playing my game."

I've listened to it before, but, really? "For-to" just sounds... not like it. Crystal Batamon 14:17, 9 September 2008 (EDT)

Needed?
You list some things in here even if they are not part of the game. This list isn't listing sure fourth wall breakings but possible fourth wall breakings. What about fixing this list?--Inuyasha Zero 13:27, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

How so? I don't see a single "possible" fourth wall breaking. Fludd 18:49, 12 August 2008 (EDT)


 * One of the possiblies: Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour.

Name Change?
Why don't we change the name to "Breaking the Fourth Wall"? It is that way on Bulbapedia (not to compare us to other wikis) and "Fourth Wall" describes the wall itself not the fact that the characters are breaking it. (is there a wall itself? English is confusing!) 23:46, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Um, fourth wall is fine. Its that way on wikipedia which is much more official, and its much easier to type anyways.

Poltergust
I've just noticed. I don't think that referencing Luigi's Mansion is breaking the fourth wall. After all, it doesn't mean that the pianta knows that he's in a game. - User:TheREALKingK

Koops breaks the fourth wall
In Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, Koops breaks the fouth wall after you beat Doopliss. He says "Sort of easy for a boss battle as it were." Is that considered breaking the fourth wall?
