RE: MP9
Quite a few of the minigame modes, like Endurance Valley, or Mini-Game Coaster have articles. I'm not disagreeing with the fact that these can work better merged than as separate article, I'm just saying there are arguments for having them split, and I think this should be done following a discussion rather than just blindly merging them.

Ouch
Sorry about the temporary ban, mate. Liked you as a wiki contributor, but I hope you improve your conduct towards others after your ban expires. I'll see you on October 29. 21:51, 15 October 2018 (EDT)

Oh no
You were such a good contributor and I am now depressed because you got temporally banned. I'll see you on October 29th, 2018. 21:55, 15 October 2018 (EDT)

Uh Oh
I’m sorry about all this... I’m not exactly a high ranking member, so I’m not in on all the details, but I’ll miss seeing your name over and over as I check the recent changes! See you soon...-PianoKing03

Aw man
Dang, sorry that you got blocked. I liked to go to the List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story quotes page to check which new quotes you had added. See you in a week! Scrooge200 (talk) 00:02, 16 October 2018 (EDT)

OH MY!!!
I see you have been blocked... See you in a week... -- 07:49, 17 October 2018 (EDT)

Hi
Hey, welcome back. Hope you had a productive time while you were blocked, like I did. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:46, 23 October 2018 (EDT)
 * ^When I said that, I meant "I had a productive time when I was blocked," not sure if I made that clear. XD Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:23, 23 October 2018 (EDT)

Re:Yellow Switch
So sorry for not getting back to you sooner! I can't say that I'm fully back to editing yet, but I'll check on the name now. 19:26, 23 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Oddly enough, the guide doesn't seem to mention the switch at all in the Vim Factory (although incidentally, the block at the end of the tutorial area is called the "Event Block", page 27). If it appears at another point in the game, let me know so I can check that! 19:57, 23 October 2018 (EDT)

Proposals
Why... did you make separate proposals for each game mode when you could have covered it all in one proposal here? -- 19:59, 24 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Oh, ok. -- 20:02, 24 October 2018 (EDT)

Forgot to say...
Ah! I forgot to say welcome back, since you got unblocked! Welcome back! -- 09:16, 26 October 2018 (EDT)

Redirects
Per Redirects, If a mainspace article has existed for over a year and is moved for any reason, and unless a new page is created using the old title, then the old page title should remain as a redirect to the new title and protected. 10:41, 28 October 2018 (EDT)
 * You went against the rules. What is there to wait for? 10:59, 28 October 2018 (EDT)
 * The rule was put in place by administrators. 11:06, 28 October 2018 (EDT)

Some questions
Back in September, I messaged you on the forums about a vandal attack with IPs that shared a range and computer information with you, asking if you knew anything about that. You never responded to that, but the vandal looks to have returned with the recent Green Star edits (not mention attacking my talk page). Five of the IPs in the range share computer information with you, one sharing a direct IP match. Seeing as you're more active on the wiki than you are on the boards, and that you were MIA during the attacks, I'm asking this here. I'd like to know if you've edited from any shared computers, such as those being from school or work? Or if this is a sibling with access to a home computer? This is also a possibility we have to consider: Were you editing anonymously from any of the IPs? 17:27, 28 October 2018 (EDT)

Re:T-Rex trampolines
Page 47: "Capture the T-Rex inside the Dinosaur Nest (see Power Moon #12 for location) and carefully step off the far edge of the plateau onto the ledge below. Smash the fossilized rocks on this ledge to uncover a Power Moon. Use the hat trampoline to return to the upper level and grab the Power Moon with the T-Rex."

I know that there's a separate object called the Hat Trampoline, but that's the only reference to any kind of bouncing thing with the T-Rex I can find (and considering the accompanying image for the section is this, it may be relevant). 00:12, 31 October 2018 (EDT)
 * Page 203: "Capture a Lava Bubble and swim up the path to find a lava cannon at the top, primed to launch bubble-Mario high up, right into the stew under the patrolling bird boss."
 * Page 207: "Lava cannons throughout the region can place Lava Bubbles in distant or remote landing spots while offering scenic views along the way."
 * And so on and so forth. From the look of things, "lava cannon" is used consistently. 00:01, 1 November 2018 (EDT)
 * (using the digital guide, don't have the physical guide on me atm, can get the physical pages to you later)
 * Darker Side: "Duos of moving cog-like platforms line the way up this tower. At several points along the route upward, you have to extend an Uproot’s legs to quickly land on the higher of two moving platforms. This needs to be handled while Burrbo hordes appear on motionless platforms along the way."
 * I can't find any mention of it anywhere else, and the names here are too generic for an article. 21:08, 3 November 2018 (EDT)

Yoshi's Island Spring Water
Either way, according to the page's history, it's named that in the game itself by a sign. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:37, 1 November 2018 (EDT)

RE: Lava cannon
Sorry for the late response; the lava cannon image is up, and here's the image for the trampoline. 07:57, 3 November 2018 (EDT)

RE: NSMB2 Coin Rush
Policy states levels get separate articles, so yes. They're actually named "First Course," "Second Course" and "Third Course" in-game ("COURSE 1," "COURSE 2" and "COURSE 3" are their Japanese names) so I'd use those as the titles, with the level pack as the identifiers. 07:20, 10 November 2018 (EST)

RE: Plunger
Nothing other than the generic stuff that led to it getting deleted. 22:32, 11 November 2018 (EST)

Objects and items
How I've seen it, and how it's always been organised on the wiki, is that items are mainly collectibles (except in the context of games like Smash where they're organised by what the game refers to as "items") while objects are part of the environment or things that the player can interact with but doesn't actually collect. Objects like Green Shells and Trampolines have always been categorised as such, so I don't understand what you meant in your summary. 22:29, 12 November 2018 (EST)

Mario is Missing
You don't have to edit the template each and every time I make a new page. I'd rather make one large edit at the end that includes all of the links, rather that filling up the history with a bunch of small edits. If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me handle this. 22:31, 12 November 2018 (EST)

Hamma, Bamma, & Flare
Pretty sure that's the team's name in-game, as such, their official name. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:53, 20 November 2018 (EST)

(By which I mean, ampersand is objectively correct.) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:49, 20 November 2018 (EST)
 * I checked a handy text dump and it does indeed say "Hamma, Bamma, and Flare", so our ampersand was actually wrong. But yeah, if it were "Hammer, Bamma, & Flare", then it should be the same style as it was in the source. The move worked out, though the exact reason was maybe not as fine. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:00, 20 November 2018 (EST)
 * Well, I've been wrong before. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:50, 20 November 2018 (EST)

RE: Featured article list
Featured list would make sense. 05:46, 26 November 2018 (EST)
