5 whistles?
Somebody once told me he saw someone get 5 whistles. Does anyone know anything about this? Zoidberg 09:34, 18 April 2007 (EDT)


 * Sounds like a lie. There are only three Warp Whistles in the game. -- Son of Suns

I thought so to, but I thought I'd check. I though maybe it was some sort of game genie thing or something.Zoidberg 09:54, 18 April 2007 (EDT)

Is the fourth Warp Whistle real?

This video is a response to the alleged Fourth Warp Whistle trick from the Japanese release, and comes to the conclusion that the World 5-1 glitch will not yield a Warp Whistle. This glitch may need further testing because it may not be legit. LinkTheLefty 16:42, 14 March 2012 (EDT)

More Whistles?
Here is a letter from Princess Peach received at the end of Ice Land:

Greetings,

I am well. Please retrieve the Magic Whistle hidden in the darkness at the end of the Third World. I have enclosed a jewel that helps protect you.

Princess Toadstool.

Is this a mistake or are there more than three Warp Whistles? Also, in the letter received at the end of Giant Land, the princess says "The thief who stole the Whistle has escaped to the east side of the Sand Dunes." However, any level with sand is in Desert Land, two worlds earlier! So... how come Mario gets this hint after he can't make use of it? Is there some way to go backwards?

 * Third World can be referring to the third level, that's what I think. For the latter, I believe if Mario can't go backward, it's meant as a hint if the player replays the game. 21:38, 6 September 2016 (EDT)

Warp Whistle or Recorder
I want to move this, but I think it should be discussed about before moving. The main reason I want to move this is the warp whistle makes an appearance in Paper Mario: Color Splash in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style. It becomes a recorder if squeezed. I think a move makes more sense. I want to hear from some people before doing so. 14:24, 1 October 2016 (EDT)
 * I disagree, since the name Warp Whistle comes from Super Mario Bros. 3, and remains so throughout all of the games remakes such as Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4, which are all main series games, while Paper Mario: Color Splash is just a single spin-off game. 14:36, 1 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Paper Mario: Color Splash also shows the Recorder in its 8-bit sprite when it first appears, and it is dedicated with a "From the Developers!" note in the digital manual. I think it makes perfect sense - it's actually the original name, but the Magic/Warp Whistle terminology lost that connection. Technically, the article should be renamed anyway since "Warp Whistle" seems to come from a later guide and "Magic Whistle" is directly used in one of the princess letters and overall more consistent, though "Recorder" should really get title priority.

The requirements for the number of people for me to make a definite decision is 10 users including myself. Patrollers and Administrators count as 2, while Proprietor and Bureaucrat count as 5. 12:32, 10 October 2016 (EDT)


 * Uhh... there's no need to think about a points system like that. And high ranks do not mean more weight in discussions. Just create a TPP if there are mixed opinions about your suggestion.

 * I put up the point system because this is how they will impact my decision. I respect the decision of authority. I do not want to do a TPP yet. I think it can be settled with this. But if I decide to do a talk page proposer, the number of people that vote will be based on a regular TPP and not like what I did here. 13:21, 10 October 2016 (EDT)
 * If you want to do this, start a TPP. You're not allowed to do your own system. - Reboot (talk) 13:23, 10 October 2016 (EDT)
 * To be honest, I only put that there because it didn't have a very high attention. I didn't know why. 10 people seemed easier to based off of than what is there. 13:52, 10 October 2016 (EDT)

I have a few reasons why I don't want to create a TPP.

1. I don't have enough information to create it (this doesn't mean I don't know how to create a TPP). Although, someone else could create it with the proper information.

2. It is not really necessary. Basically, because of this section, I don't feel it is necessary to create a TPP.

3. There are 7 proposals out there, 6 of which are TPP. Just because this is a TPP doesn't mean that it will have more attention there than here. I know that I can have two proposals running at the same time, but that is not the issue here.

4. There is no exact time restraint. While I want to have a census quickly, I am ok with it taking a while. Also, it will be easier to move or not to move if I can execute it right away.

 * I would say create a separate page for Recorder and mention it here. But I have limited knowledge of the connection between the two, so I could be wrong.

 * The warp whistle sprite is in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style, but if squeezed, it will be a recorder like the one in real life. The music that plays when the thing card is used is the Super Mario Bros. 3 warp zone music. 22:26, 10 October 2016 (EDT)
