Un-canon elements
The elements coming from the cartoons doesn't count in the video game timeline, so should I delete the part where it's said that something's happenning between Super Mario Bros. and its sequel ? Koopalmier 07:11, 1 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Actually, there is no "video game timeline". The whole article should be reorganized according to this. 07:28, 1 June 2009 (EDT)
 * But, seriousely, it's obvious that there are multiples Marios in differents universes. The one from the video games, the one from the DIC cartoon trilogy, the one from the Mario anime, the one from the educative games, ect... Or else Bowser would be dead already, Mario would not have hairs, and Mario & Peach wouldn't have a romantic relationship. We should separe the vdieo games part from the cartoon part in the biography, at least, no ?

 * Of course there are many inconsistencies between the various appearances (not only in different media). That's why the section shouldn't be called "Biography" anymore, but rather "History". In this section, we can list every of Mario's appearances, no matter which form of media. Video games aren't any more canon than cartoons. 09:27, 1 June 2009 (EDT)

Biography section.
The biography section is a mess. It treats the different forms of Mario media as though they all occur in the same continuity. Why is this? Shouldn't there be a section detailing the video game continuity, a section detailing the TV cartoon continuity, a section detailing the movie continuity, and a section detailing any other continuities? I mean, I doubt any Superman wiki page jumbles the different Superman continuities together like this, for instance. It's just sloppy. - Buddy Christ
 * The organization is correct according to our guidelines. It's not a biography section, but rather a history section, and as such it should list all appearances of a character in history, no matter in which media. There's no way of making a proper "Biography" section, because even in the video game "continuity", there are dozens of inconsistencies. Plus, who says that video game appearances are part of a character's "biography", but cartoon appearances aren't? For our motivation to adopt this organization standard, please see here. 05:41, 8 June 2009 (EDT)

Paper Mario
Should that be considered canon or is it more of a spin off?
 * If you mean "Part of the video games timeline", then yes. It's in fact a rather important game, as it's starting from here that Bowser will start to try world domination. Koopalmier 01:32, 16 August 2009 (EDT)
 * There is no "canon". The game was officially released by Nintendo, so there's no reason it's less "canon" than other games. 17:35, 20 July 2009 (EDT)

Well the Mario RPG's are a bit different from the platformers but I get what your saying.
 * Every Mario game is different. Mario can do 300 ft high jumps in Mario Strikers Charged when he can't jump higher than 5 ft in Paper Mario 2. But those are gameplay elements. Koopalmier 01:32, 16 August 2009 (EDT)

Misplaced Picture
There is a picture from Mario Vs. Donkey Kong next to the Wrecking Crew '98 section in the article. It doesn't belong there and someone needs to fix it!--fawfulfury65 18:18, 29 July 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65

Name Wrong!
Mario's full name isn't "Mario Mario" Nintendo NEVER said that,they said that Mario Mario isn't Mario's Name, Understand People!


 * The Super Mario Bros. movie says his full name is "Mario Mario". The film was made with Nintendo's permission, and so we consider it to be an official source of information. - 17:10, 1 September 2009 (EDT)

You're right! MY NAME IS MARIO MARIO! How'd you know that? --Mario4Real 10:38, 6 September 2009 (EDT)

ArtWork
I think Mario's New Super Mario Bros. Wii artwork should be at the start it is the newest.Plus it looks better in my opinion.
