User talk:Tsunami/Archive 2

First, welcome to my talk page! Feel free to send any message to me, but keep in mind that I'm registred only from a few months and I'm not very experienced, but still, I can give you an hand. I will archive at 50-60 sections when I think will be the moment. There aren't much rules. Why flooding a talk with rules when there is an universal one? Just don't do at me what you don't want do be did at you. I likely accept friend request, but first I have to talk a bit with you, then I'll see if we can be friends or not. Enjoy!

Ooh First Header!

Re:World 2
Cool! Welcome to World 2! I sure hope you find an oasis!
 * I know, I was only referencing the fact that World 2 is usually a desert. World 0 looks like a place I want to go to horrible.

Mario Kart 7 Tournament
You are invited to my Mario Kart 7 Weekly Tournaments. Check my user page for more info. Spread the word. Thank You, &#91;&#91;User:Trainiax&#124;Mario Kart Master&#93;&#93; #MarioKartMaster #MK8 (talk) 20:51, 12 August 2014 (EDT)

World Mew
I pulled of the level 100 Mew trick! Once I caught Mew, I battled a level 8 Spearow, sent Mew first, then switched between Pidgeotto, Charmeleon, and the Abra and other level 8 Spearow I caught to initiate the glitch and weaken Mew respectively, switched Charmeleon back out again, and defeated it, giving all my Pokemon a really huge amount of EXP: 12!
 * Nope. It's actually an EXP underflow glitch. If you get a small amount of EXP for a Level 1 Pokemon, they'll go to level 100. See here for more information, but glitching and hacking are the only ways to get Level 1 Pokemon in the first two generations, so it wasn't fixed at all until Generation 3.
 * Wow, that's impressive. I wish I could do that... with Baby Luigi too.

Mk8 Gifs
On Google or Bing images, just simply search "Mk8 gifs" or "Mario Kart 8 gifs" and you will find tons don't upload the Mario circuit one. MINE! Upload all.u.want. stupid autocorrect! 10:24, 13 August 2014 (EDT)
 * You know, I was looking at miiverse posts and I found that weird image. 14:05, 13 August 2014 (EDT)

RE:MK8 gif
If gifs are parents in the gallery feel free. As long as the Bullet Bill image is static it can go on its main article.

re:Modifying Featured Articles
I don't have particularly strong feelings on the organisation of the FA page and I can't really authorize unilateral to a major Mariowiki: page like that. Make some noises on the wiki collab board or the page's talk. --Glowsquid (talk) 10:48, 14 August 2014 (EDT)

Blue Shells
I once dodged a Spiny Shell in DK Summit in Mario Kart Wii, by running into a Mushroom with perfect timing. I also avoided a couple in DS by running into other, less potent things such as Fake Item Boxes. Once, in Double Dash, I ran into a wall in Bowser's Castle causing the Spiny Shell to go crazy and fail to hit me. And it has happened to me in MK7 where me falling caused the shell to take an extra lap. The alarm is so annoying when it goes on for that long. Super Circuit is the easiest to dodge them because the technical limitations make it crash into walls before jumps such as in Bowser Castle 4 or Mario Circuit 2, and also falls through abysses, making Boo Lake and Broken Pier useful as well to avoid Spiny Shells. On top of THAT, in SC, if a Red or Spiny Shell catches up to you, it may not hit you immediately, instead staying on your tail, at which point it either hits you if you slow down enough or disappears if it stays that way long enough. Combine that with the rarity, and you may not even get hit by a Spiny Shell in a Grand Prix in Super Circuit.
 * Okay, someone added an oppose to Iggy Koopa's nomination, check it out if you want to before it gets removed (me and 2 others voted off the oppose already) but I think that just prolonged the waiting time for the nomination to pass. :( Anyway, I just hope I don't have anywhere to go tomorrow. And I don't think Nintendo's going to enlarge the explosion just because one person mastered Spiny Shell dodging. There are still others who don't know the trick, and by that I'm pretty sure it means almost if not exactly the number of people not that person who also own MK8.
 * What? It's chat? I'm sorry, but I'm not crazy about signing up on chat... And yes, the oppose was already removed, but you can still see it if you want on the revision history.

Waluigi
The image you uploaded, the one with Waluigi for 64DS, it isn't allowed as it is Fanmade. I understand you trying to put it on the rumours page and stuff, but things such as fan made guesses aren't allowed, however ones with some actual evidence do make the article. It may seem confusing, but unless it has some truth I it, it's just fan made and meaningless. Sorry for the trouble. - 02:50, 15 August 2014 (EDT)
 * The size chart wasn't exactly "Fan-made", it was from a website, and it likely uses actual in-game models. Maybe insert what your thinking of writing and we'll see how good it is. Just plain rumours won't do, otherwise Ridley would be all over the page. But the image I still find bad as it has completely fan made sprites, whereas the image you referred to is likely used with actual models, like this image. -  03:28, 15 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Waluigi didn't even have sprites or plans to be in the game. The thing is, I'm not even sure the section is that great, as it basically stats only Fanmade stuff. It doesn't have any evidence other than just fans wanting it to happen, unlike Luigi in the section above, who has an unused texture that was thought to be his. - 03:38, 15 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Well, not really, it's more a "Fake rumours with evidence that was proven wrong" page. I can't do really describe it, I'm trying to see if a policy will be apllied to the page. - 04:00, 15 August 2014 (EDT)
 * What I think for the image is yes, as opposed to other articles it is completely unneeded in them, it does match the context of the rumors and urban legends page. I'm not suggesting more fanmade images should be added in, but this one is okay to me.

Chatrooms
I dunno. Heck will decide. 13:24, 15 August 2014 (EDT)

Still Stuck in World 1
Well... There's nothing in particular that I'd like to work on at the moment. Iggy's already going to be featured within a few days, so it looks to me like Iggy finally succeeds! Talk:Mario Kart 8 is going quiet now that the game is out, Mario Maker and MP 10 talk pages are silent, so are the proposals, and now that my nomination is succeeding, I no longer have anything to focus on. I just hope I don't become inactive like I used to be... *shudder* To brighten things up a bit... Have you seen my new template on my User Page? You'll see it as soon as my page shows up on the screen.
 * Well... in real life, while I talk a lot to my friends (as exemplified in our conversations) I don't really like to talk to people I don't know, so chat doesn't seem fit for me. Anyway, I think I can try and help you out on Super Mario Kart. And I was thinking of doing MP 8 and 9, but I haven't been on it at all...
 * It's an error message! Thanks! :P Looks like an Italian version of us, is it? Or are they just that similar? Anyway... It turns out this wiki about Mario that I had found a long time ago is the same wiki ToadAwesome12 showed you earlier. Wikia seems to be less formal than us and the other NIWA wikis. Compare these articles of my five fave characters: Baby Luigi, Toad, Iggy Koopa, Bowser Jr., and finally, Baby Rosalina. The brightness of the blue link color and weather there is a box with an arrow or not should tell you which is us and which is the other, but the left is NIWA SMW and the right is Wikia SMW.
 * Found it.
 * Well... just hope it isn't as frequent as mine was before I started talking to you. :)
 * Well, I'm working on 100%-ing the Mario vs. Donkey Kong games I have. My list:


 * Minis March Again!: Downloaded on my 3DS. I'm currently on Floor 1+, but I'm working in the rooftop.
 * Mini Land Mayhem!: Played from my cousin's copy, now I play a copy originally owned by my brother. I'm in Attraction 7: Cannon Cove.
 * Minis on the Move: Again, on my 3DS. I already do have 100%, and got so bored of it I un-downloaded it and have the data backed up.

RE:Maybe?
Superchao has been very busy with the Awards, as well as The 'Shroom, it probably just slipped his mind when doing the issue. I'll pass the message along.

RE:Yes, I know I'm tartassing you
Seriously it's no problem. Part of my job as a Patroller is answering questions that people may have. We've had a proposal about this a while back and it was decided that it'd be too naggy and could be seen as pestering the IP addresses which would make them less likely to want to create an account.
 * It would be nice if they made accounts, but we shouldn't force them to do so. I joined the wiki so I could vote in the FAs.

RE:Random Question
I haven't really been playing too many games recently, some Brawl and World Tour here and there, but not any real game that I'm stuck into. I sort of had to speed run Inside Story, as I rented it for 3 days from a Video store. So I completed it in three days, and it was a while ago, so I don't remember much of it. Alpha Kretin was an annoying boss. Wait, how are you versing Alpha Kretain in Toad Town Cave? - 07:42, 20 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Right, that makes more sense. You don't need timers for a speed run, you could always check the in-game counter. So you're up to Toad Town by now? It's a fun area Toad Town. There's a kid that plays hid and seek with you, invisible blocks to hit, things to buy and has lots of different areas to travel too. Did you ever meet the Shroobs? I didn't get too, suppose I never will, but at least I got to beat them in partners in time. I wish I actually owned the game. - 07:53, 20 August 2014 (EDT)
 * I did my completions legit, I don't have action replay. Toad Town is awesome. (The wiki article is questionable tho) The Zeekeeper is cool too. And what happened to you in PIT? Did you do that glitch (as seen here) were you can't continue because you get stuck? -

Perfect Run Proof
Proof I beat the perfect run.



Also, see this one too. Only available once you beat the game.

10:05, 20 August 2014 (EDT)

Don't care. I wanted mine simple. PS I'm talking about miis. 16:35, 20 August 2014 (EDT)

re:Rumors. Ah, good/bad things.
He didn't attempt to revert my reversion and his edit did somewhat address the concern for the initial reversion (weasel wording). If he tries to add back the "theory" without discussion or the plagiarised writing, though, then yeah sure. --Glowsquid (talk) 11:31, 20 August 2014 (EDT)
 * She was totally in the right to rewrite the section. Swapping out verbs/adjectives and slightly shifting the sentence order is nowhere near enough to pass it as original writing. --Glowsquid (talk) 17:30, 20 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Is anyone with two brain cells to rub together going to consider 3D World a "Captain Toad game"? --Glowsquid (talk) 12:45, 21 August 2014 (EDT)

RE:Another Curiosity
I never played Bowser's Inside Story :/ and now I'm playing on my Super Smash Bros. Brawl (unlocking everything etc.) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (just started with that game) and also a bit Super Mario Galaxy 2 (because it's been 2 years since I played that game and you know, I wanna play it again). I'm also planning for buying Kirby Triple Deluxe but I'm saving money for a new Phone (mine is from the 50's). And I'm also making (another) Super Smash Bros. game on Fantendo by the way. 05:02, 21 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Sorry I had to go shopping with my mom -_-. Yes I heard about Kirby Fighters and I will (If I have it) realy enjoy it. At E3 2014 they said that amiibo's will also work with CT:TT. So maybe Co-Op like Hyrule Warriors? who knows. I don't think I'll buy Treasure Tracker because I don't really Like those levels to be honest. Will you buy SSB4 for 3DS? Maybe we can play together or something? 07:56, 21 August 2014 (EDT)

It makes me so... HAPPY!
I don't know, I'll go check for you. It was done over a series of different boxes, so I think it's fine to cut it to only what was put in that box, if you get what I mean. - 07:03, 21 August 2014 (EDT)
 * There isn't any policy about quotes, so I guess do whatever you want. And SM64 is still a game, it's fine anyway. Just put whatever displays it's personality best. Are you trying to get Wiggler featured? -
 * Super Mario Kart, huh? My dad owned that game on the SNES years ago. Need any help? - 07:29, 21 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Well, too be honest, I can see a load of this that I could buff up. Are you planning to work solo or are you fine for me to do some tinkering? - 07:40, 21 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Thanks :D Sometimes it better to ask, sometimes people want to work alone on certain things. I'll happily help you out. By the way, I'll let you do the featuring, seeing as it is your goal. :) -
 * That is EXACTLY what I was thinking of doing with the items. Shouldn't be too hard. The other items have sprites and there respective pages I think otherwise I think we need to upload them ourself. I'm not too sure about the spinning characters, but try it out and see what happens. -

Luigi's Shadow
I didn'y "copy and paste", I tried to reword the information. The information is fairly straightforward, so it's difficult to phrase in any other way. If you saw the article as plagarised, rewrite it, don't delete it. Luigi's "Hanging Shadow" is deemed a well enough known to be featured on the Rumor page.

Re: Question
Well, I'm glad you asked! Usually, I play Toad in Mario Kart: Super Circuit and Mario Kart DS. But, for Mario Kart Wii, I usually play my Mii, whom is a heavyweight. I prefer heavyweights in Mario Kart Wii and from there on out because they are very fast. What Do you favor?

Also, How do I get a good quality picture of something on a TV with a standard camera? I would like to insert one on my user page of my Mii, but it's always really blurry. If there are any tips you can give me, let me know.

Thanks for asking! ToadBoy1999

SMK
Hi again, (for the first time in a while) can I help with Super Mario Kart? I own the game, so I know about it. A LOT. That aside, I can try to help expand whatever, and whatever you think needs improvement. I already did some fixing up in the course type table above the course list.
 * Oh, in MvDK: Mini Land Mayhem, I'm stuck on Rainbow Summit (the Special levels) level... 15? 16? I don't remember off the top of my head. And the article is useless at the moment because it doesn't list the levels. Iggy (who's pretty much done, I'm just keeping an eye out for more opposes just in case.) then Super Mario Kart next, then fixing up a level list for the MvDK:MLM levels. Anyway, no, it's not that I can't beat it. I'm going through all the levels in a row, getting everything along the way; the basics are: the cards spelling out "MINI MARIO" (or just have a crown for Final Ferris Wheel, Rainbow Summit, and Secret Storage; the "M" Token, and a trophy, obtained by reaching the goal score. Which I can't get! I'm not moving on to the next level until I get that evasive trophy!!! Ahem, yes, as you can see, me, Baby Luigi and Mario all hate Wario. (The users for sure. The characters? Not sure.) Things such as the new template at the top of my page, two userboxes in my tower, and my Fav Characters section all say it. Waluigi actually isn't that bad though. And lastly, archiving news... I'm doing it... well, not right now. The section you made could be a little bigger, and me and Baby Luigi are having a conversation at the moment.
 * Oh yes, the Shroobs. Wierdos. I have forbidden my fellow Shrooms from following the Shroobs. And I am already in Plus mode for both MvDK: MMA and MLM. But I'm finishing the extra levels of R, S, and X before I get there. And... yes, people say Waluigi was... odd... in Mario Tennis 64. (Entry in the "Misc. games" section.) Especially for the glowing eyes, which were, at least as far as I know, never seen again. But I don't own MT64.
 * Um, you didn't look in the "Misc. games" section that I told you to look at, you instead peeked at the Mad Piano. But I do get the joke.
 * I'm not an SSB player, but is there any other Nintendo character you want playable?
 * Hey, can I help with the items table? I just don't want to edit without permission...
 * I fixed up the template, and left a few comments below. Be sure to read them!
 * OK, to thoroughly explain the third point: Until Mario Kart DS, Battle Mode couldn't be played with one player. Well, technically you can, look below, but you had to select a multiplayer option. When you have a Boo/Ghost item, you have the second player's screen to look at (The SNES only supports two players at a time) It was easy to find what item your opponent has and use the Ghost to take it away.


 * I did say I'd explain how to do battle mode for Super to Double Dash!! with one player, so...
 * (For Super, 64, and Double Dash!!) You either need two controllers, but only use the P2 controller to select characters, or alternatively, switch the P1 controller to P2 to select for the second player then return the controller to the P1 slot. The second method does not work in MK Wii where disconnecting a controller will result in the message of a disconnected controller to constantly pop up.
 * For Super Circuit, you need 2 GBAs and a Link Cable. Just don't use the second GBA except for char. select. Have a DS or DS Lite? Downloaded MK:SC on your 3DS via the ambassador program? TOO BAD! Neither support multiplayer for GBA games. :(
 * Yep, I thought 5 comments each was enough but nope! After Iggy Koopa777 come Baby Luigi and you. Oh and my best method of ignoring a Boo in DS? Well, because first gets the worst items, I don't usually get an item better than the rest of the CPU. But when it does come for me, my best method of taunting the Boo is not getting rid of my item, but equipping it at the moment Boo comes and tries to steal the item, and that way, Boo won't steal it, and it'll take nothing back to the user. And I like NSMB as well. Guess who my character of choice is? And I also provided another question at the Sandbox talk page. Oh and I'm certain you noticed the new template on my Talk Page... did you look at my Archive?

Friend Typo
In your friends list on your user page, it says, " 'Shroom64 nad Joseph.". U mite wanna fix that. 08:29, 23 August 2014 (EDT)

RE:Redirect
No worries. I guess you could say it is complete, but I am planning an overhaul of the page hence the construction tag. With those articles they have redirects as links, and as per policy redirects should be avoided in mainspace articles so I'm just fixing those up. I don't think there's any issue no.

RE: Personal sig
You can have both in your sig, however only one of them will be marked as a sig image, the other needs to be marked as a personal image.
 * I prefer the second image.

Informal Sigfix Notice
Your sig's cool, but it's actually a little too big:

But yeah, it's awesome. Almost as much as mine...
 * Favorite form of Bowser? Why, Dry Bowser of course! Oh and I redid my sig for the end of summer.  WHY!?   But I think I'll stick with my Boucing Baby Luigi sig forever starting September 1st except for new Mario Party/Mario Kart/Mario vs. Donkey Kong games around their release. Oh and my new sig links to my workspace. Click on Baby Luigi.
 * This is a week long sig, so I'm not using a personal image up for such a small time period. And red and green are colors I'll stick with. Sadly, Nintendo has confirmed via Super Mario 64 DS that Wario can't break the ground via ground pounding. But imagine the portal to the Secret Under the Moat being an abyss...
 * Oooooh, Wario falling into a multicolor whirlpool... Ahem, cool image.
 * You know, since both are entities separate of the original Bowser, I think Dark Bowser and Dry Bowser are a Bowser duo!


 * Just because they are different doesn't mean they can't work together! Just look at N and Ghetsis! You like blue fire? I bet that makes the New Super Mario Bros. final boss fight one of the best to you! (I say one of because Bowser doesn't use only blue but the classic orange as well.) And in Pokemon X I have 18 Pokemon that can Mega Evolve.
 * I JUST FINALLY GOT A SHINY POKEMON IN X! I was looking for a Lairon in Terminus Cave to trade to my brother (who has Y). The first wild encounter? A Shiny Lairon. Of course I kept it for myself and got another one... and my favorite Koopas are the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. Top 10?


 * Iggy
 * Ludwig
 * Lemmy
 * Bowser Jr.
 * Morton
 * Larry
 * Roy
 * Wendy
 * Koopa Troopa
 * Dry Bones


 * What was your first ever Shiny Pokemon? Mine was a Floatzel from years ago, when I used to play Diamond Version. Then I lost it. And if your first was a shiny Pokemon that's guaranteed to be so (for example, the Lake of Rage red Gyarados) mention your first random encounter Shiny.
 * Oh, after watching a video, here's what I think:
 * Oh, after watching a video, here's what I think:

MB DLC Really? This is what you think of for your first MK8 DLC Nintendo? Well, okay, when karting and Mercedes Benz collide, this is the result...

Add-on DLC 1 Link: I watch LoZ stuff, and now I get to play as Link... In a Mario game! Tanooki Mario: I would prefer it as an alternate costume, but nice choice for the FOURTH form of Mario in the game... (Normal, Metal, Baby, Tanooki) Cat Peach: Same as Tanooki Mario, especially because there are also three Peaches in the game already as well. (Normal, Baby, Pink Gold, Cat) Blue Falcon: So we didn't get other vehicles announced, but this one is a cool returning kart... but for ALL to use this time! Cups: The Legend of Zelda Cup, and the Yoshi Egg Cup. I might stick to calling the LoZ on the "Triforce Cup". F-Zero Course: I can't place which course, but MK8's Anti Gravity mechanic allows this course to fit right in! Wii Wario's Gold Mine: Whatever. With Wii, I would have picked other courses, but I don't dislike this one. Excitebike course: At least it looks like that to many. Seems fitting since MK8 has... well, bikes.

Add-on DLC 2 Villager: OK, I guess... I mean, I don't really play Animal Crossing. Isabelle: Again, this isn't exciting for me because I'm not an AC player. Dry Bowser: YES! THANK YOU NINTENDO!!! This one character makes this pack worth it! Vehicles: Um... four new vehicles. I would compliment them but we don't know what they are. Cups: The Animal Crossing and Super Bell Cups. Nice. Animal Crossing Course: Again, not so excited because I don't play AC, but it should be a cool course. Jungle Course: GameXplain theorized that it may be a retro ARCADE course. Nice! Question Marks: I'm pretty sure they're a part of the game. It would be nice to see them.

And if Lakitu's the new Dry Bones... That means he's not coming back in the next MK game!
 * I think next time, look to make sure the images haven't been uploaded before you do so.

RE:BIS
Ah yes, that was a along time ago, i was just walking about peach's castle as bowser decided i wanted to go elsewhere after moving a screen, did a u-turn and i was inside the wall moving back up cause the game to freak out with the textures and then im pretty sure i just hit the power button. I havn't been able to duplicate it. - Cubeguy(talk)

I'm Back!
Hey, I'm back from my holiday to Fantendo. My work is finaly done altough their are some incomplete sections but...yeah next time. 09:20, 25 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Oh god o.0 I didn't knew that thanks. By the way I bought Kirby Triple Deluxe ! :D. I love Kirby Fighters but I only have my brother to play with and he doesn't like that :/. Dedede's Drum Dash looked hard at the start but now it seems pretty easy, too bad that there are only 3 levels :/. The Story Mode is yeah super fun duh, but there are more worlds after you've finished all 6 right? I'm now in world 5 so I hope there will be more. 06:18, 27 August 2014 (EDT)

re:Back with another question
Just put upcoming in the section describing the dlc. --Glowsquid (talk) 09:15, 27 August 2014 (EDT)

RE:Random Question
No idea what your saying. Give me more info? 11:24, 27 August 2014 (EDT)

PS Ugh your Sig is much worse now.

Yoshi Icons

 * I had to get screenshots of the Yoshi icons, and then use an image editor to alter them. I still have to do Shy Guy's recolors though. 13:18, 27 August 2014 (EDT)
 * If anything, whenever you choose Yoshi or Shy Guy, you'll see a window which lets you choose your color; it's similar to how you can choose your own Mii. 13:30, 27 August 2014 (EDT)

Random question

 * You're kind of confusing me there. If this has anything to do with the character icons, I only organized them in the order that they're organized in-game. 07:57, 29 August 2014 (EDT)
 * Oh, that? I did away with sorting messages a long time ago, so there's no need to be concerned with the info that has a strike on it. 08:10, 29 August 2014 (EDT)

Link's icon placement

 * Right now there's a sketchy issue that we're dealing with. On the official Nintendo website, Link's icon is placed before Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach, but he's placed after Cat Peach on the character select screen. 09:15, 30 August 2014 (EDT)

New Super Smash Mario Kart Bros. Grand Tour
I think the SMK article is getting there, but it needs a few tweaks. The staff and glitches sections should be fixed in accordance to [[MarioWiki:Empty Section Policy
 * this]], and the track section should be redone a bit. Instead of putting a description of each course type, put a description of every course in a section with the Cup as the title, if you understand Waht I mean. -

Jungle track


Sorry but I had to make it that large. See? There are trees. They block out some sunlight, but not all of it.
 * I shrank the image to 1px now. :) Anyway, that's Shulk not Sheik, the text is: シュルク参戦！！ (Shuruku sansen!!) meaning "Shulk joins the competition!" While Translate has a legitimately useful tool where you can handwrite (well, draw on the screen with the mouse) a kana or kanji and you will be able to enter it in to translate, I couldn't find the first hydeogram that way. Maybe because they're hydeograms not kanji.

RE: Stanley
IGN says that it is Mario's forgotten cousin, so I assume it is true.
