User talk:Zaku

You want something random? If you swap the vowels in "zaku" you get "zuka" which sounds like "bazooka". Let that sink in. Also, I hear you like glitches, but I hope you don't try  flying away randomly while you're working on pages. It's really annoying when that happens to Mario. Anyway, uh, what's your favorite glitch? My favorite is that falling through the bridge in Frappe Snowland with player 2. Ever wondered why this glitch works? Maybe it's a collision issue and a particular precise location quirk associated with player 2's orientation (like why does it work only on player 2), but I'm not too totally sure. 00:32, June 1, 2022 (EDT)
 * That's a fun coincidence! Nice to meet you, those glitches look quite bizarre! I've actually never played the Mario and Luigi games but I hear they are quite amazing, maybe once I finish Paper Mario 64 I'll take a jab at them? I'm a bit biased, my favorite glitch is the Fleep Cancel because I found it myself! :D


 * In terms of glitches not found by me though, this one definitely takes the cake, child-me was so captivated by it despite being so simple! Also took a quick skim at your userpage and noticed another neat coincidence: We're both lefties! 01:24, June 2, 2022 (EDT)
 * Ha, my sister and I found that Sherbet Land glitch while we were kids... it's been immortalized on the wiki and has been shared in the popular Supper Mario Broth tumblr. We also found the one where Mario's flying away from the fountain, also shared in Supper Mario Broth. I suppose fleep cancel was the inspiration for that Paper Mario on your userpage. As for that glitch, I kind of wonder why that requires Luigi, but it must be just because his abilities let him perform the glitch; should be elaborated in the page. Also yeah, lefties... scissors are my nemeses. If you play Origami King, you'll be completely scared of those things. 20:18, June 5, 2022 (EDT)

Paper Mario HP
Just thought I should point out the starting HP in Paper Mario is actually 10, not 5. 12:11, November 3, 2022 (EDT)


 * Thanks, that's my bad. I was conflating two different memories. 12:25, November 3, 2022 (EDT)

? Blocks in The Origami King.
Hi. In the past I done several pages for locations of various things in Mario and Luigi series. Now that I finally got the chance to play TOK, I figured I would try doing the same for that game.

I was a little quick tho and thus, weren't aware that you are doing something similiar. Well, off to my question: Do you want any help with the ? Blocks, like providing descriptions or images or you want to do it yourself and I would just work on Not-Bottomless Holes and Collectible Treasures only?

And if you do want any help, what do you think is a better image for hidden blocks: Just the place where the block is, the block is revealed (jumped into it once), block is empty (jumped into it twice), Mario has Hidden Block Alert (speech bubble with bell inside) or Mario has Hidden Block Unhider (hidden blocks are seen in form of red outlines)?

Anyways. that's all. --Mid188 (talk) 18:45, February 11, 2023 (EST)


 * That makes sense. And to be fair, I hadn't made known that I was working on the ? block page for TOK, although I had previously completed the hidden Toads page. I actually appreciate any help in working on the page, there are still a lot of descriptions that either haven't been made yet or are made but I haven't put into my tables yet. Same goes for images, although I do believe I already got all the images that are currently uploaded for the hidden blocks so far. For blocks that are hidden, I have an indicator as part of the table, but I think it would help to have Mario smacking the specific block in the image. I'm not sure what the rules are for adding edits to images like a red outline. Thanks for the initiative on this stuff, I wish you well working on the Not-Bottomless Holes and Collectible Treasures pages. 14:50, February 12, 2023 (EST)


 * Ok then. Since I'm not native speaker, I need clarfication on one thing before I truly start: You have descriptions and images but just not uploaded or those that have PM as placeholder for now are the ones you dont have? And well, I think we can forget the red outlines, since I was looking through the playthroughs of the game and the red outline was seen only on the first box in the Unhider tutorial (that I know of and the others is just the Unhider more flashing more and is more loud, so that does not really help us with what we want). So I would do the images like you said (if needed): Mario would be jumping into/hitting the block in the image. And well, I will rename the page from hidden blocks to ? blocks since even the visible ones will be there (the page itself and in the template also). Anyways, that is all. Hope to hear you soon, so I can start as soon as possible. --Mid188 (talk) 15:43, February 12, 2023 (EST)


 * Yes the red outline only happens during the tutorial for the Unhider. And to clarify, There are descriptions that say "Description PLACEHOLDER", those are the descriptions that are not added yet. Images that are from the original Paper Mario game were simply placeholders, however I can replace them with the indended placeholder image so you know for sure that they need to be replaced.


 * As for the page name, you should change it yes, once you transfer the page to that name we should add a redirect since many people will probably search for Hidden Blocks rather than ? blocks. 15:47, February 12, 2023 (EST)


 * What I meant was like, for the blocks which have the PM placeholder, do you already have the images but not just uploaded or do they need to be made? Because when you said it, it sounded like you already have them, just not uploaded, so I wanted to know, so I don't have to make them if you have them. You do not need to replace the placeholder, it makes the job easier honestly. And I will change the name right now but could you do that redirect, since I can't seem to remember how to do it?--Mid188 (talk) 15:58, February 12, 2023 (EST)


 * Update: One thing came to mind actually: Do you think you could remade the Collectible Treasures and Not-Bottomless Hole list after they're done, so they look like the pages for Toads and ? Blocks, so it looks consistent? I don't think I'll be able to do it, so just asking.--Mid188 (talk) 16:59, February 12, 2023 (EST)


 * Actually I replaced those PM placeholder images with the mario wiki's official placeholder image. But I do not have images for those entries. So if you wanted to post images for them then you can go ahead. and since you moved the page I'll go ahead and do the redirect. As for the Collectible Treasure and Not-Bottomless Hole pages, I could do that once you are done, I will let you know when I have them in tweaked in my sandbox though just to make sure I don't accidentally delete information from them. Don't worry about making them look consistent, once the information is there that should be simple for me to do. Thanks for the help and questions! 11:59, February 13, 2023 (EST)


 * I have read your suggestion and will keep that in mind for the future. I will just upload Overlook Mountain as normal and from Earth Vellumental Temple, I will try doing it your way (if I think my way is better for particular image, I will use that instead).--Mid188 (talk) 12:24, February 15, 2023 (EST)


 * Sounds good, thank you for the consideration. I'll be working on the later chapters (Green and Purple Streamer) so don't worry about doing the same section as me. 12:26, February 15, 2023 (EST)


 * So yeah, even though you told me to not worry, I rather ask before doing anything: Well, I just completed Puprle Streamer yesterday and have images ready. So should I upload them as usual and leave those with DO NOT REPLACE to you or what? I rather ask now before messing up and fixing it later. Well, the block images I mean, I will do holes and treasures anyway. --Mid188 (talk) 06:46, February 25, 2023 (EST)


 * Oh yes that is fine! Just make sure not to add images for the block entries that say "Do not replace" like you said. I have some prepared for those. Thank you for asking.


 * So I went ahead and done everything else so only your DO NOT REPLACE images, the reorginazing of the holes and treasures pages in your sandbox and then putting the contents of the sandbox into those 3 pages are left. Once you're done with that, I will copy the upgraded versions of tables into the pages like Whispering Woods or Origami Castle, etc. Well, that's everything. It was a pleasure working with you. --Mid188 (talk) 04:59, February 26, 2023 (EST)


 * Ah I see! You did great work on these pages, thank you for helping me fill out the ? Block page. Once I upload the images I have I'll tweak those other tables, It was a pleasure working with you as well. 15:48, February 26, 2023 (EST)


 * Hi, I have question: Is it intentional that Green Streamer + Origami Castle does not have maps like the other streamers? --Mid188 (talk) 17:16, March 3, 2023 (EST)


 * You make a good point, I previously did not include a Green Streamer map as I referenced the Hidden Toad page structure, where there was only a single Toad to rescue. I've made the appropriate changes, adding a map and seperating Origami Castle into its own section which seems to work well. Origami Castle does not need a navigation map as it is the only location in that map to have collectibles, toads, and ? Blocks. Thank you for the question. 18:42, March 3, 2023 (EST)
