User:Doc von Schmeltwick

Hello there! I am Doc von Schmeltwick. I lurked on this site since about 2008 (I remember Bowser's Inside Story and NSMBW getting announced long after I had discovered this site), then finally joined on May 15, 2017. I really enjoy the Mario games, as well as many other things. What I dislike is political garbage, be it governmental, social, identity, et cetera. Just...keep that off here, it does not belong.

User:Doc von Schmeltwick/Projects My other wiki project

Best character who hasn't been made (yet): Gold Tanooki Cat Baby Metal Waluigette: ultimate roster filler!

Definitely

 * Split Bin into something logical
 * Merge Super Soda to Fresh Juice
 * Merge Ice Piranha Plant to Frost Piranha
 * Merge Lava Piranha to Fire Piranha Plant
 * Merge Anti Guy to Black Shy Guy and clean up the latter
 * Merge Bob-omb Buddy to Bob-omb or at least clean up the former akin to Red Boo
 * Merge the Mario Kart "Mecha Bowser" and Bowser Monument back to Bowser Statue, using noclip evidence to assist
 * Do something with the various actual Mecha-Bowsers (Kun, Safari, Sunshine, and Galaxy)
 * Merge Fire Orb to Fireball
 * Determine proper distinction (if any) between Fire Breath and the projectile "Bowser's fire"
 * Determine proper distinction (if any) between Fireball, Fireball (obstacle), and Bowser's fire
 * Merge Water Barrel to Barrel
 * Split all the distinct goop types
 * Merge kannon (cannon) and kannonball into cannon and cannonball, respectively
 * Split Bodyguard from Shyster
 * Merge Fiery Dino Piranha to Dino Piranha and Gobblegut (fiery) to Gobblegut
 * Merge blue and red Electro-Koopas
 * Consider the green Cheep Cheeps in the Super Mario Maker to only borrow the designs of Blurp and Deep Cheep rather than being them outright (and thus reflect the games' own terminology)
 * Merge Flatbed Ferry to lift
 * Split Yoshi's Island between the "Yoster Island" (primarily Mario franchise) and "Yoshi Island" (primarily Yoshi franchise) versions
 * Split Bowser Snow Statue from Mizzter Blizzard
 * Merge volcanic debris and Helio to pyroclast

Maybe

 * Merge the Dark Moon section of Big Boo into Boolossus
 * Merge King Boo (Super Mario Sunshine) to Big Boo
 * Merge the red and blue Spiny Shells
 * Merge Owl (species) to Heavy Zed
 * Make a page to combine generic instances of switches (including generically named instances of ! Switch) and/or buttons
 * Merge Jumping Fire Piranha Plant to Jumping Piranha Plant (Encyclopedia/Portal-only distinction later titles seem to go back on)
 * Merge colored Magikoopas
 * Merge the identical chef-specific Paper Mario series dishes
 * Determine extent of coverage for 2003 Diddy Kong Pilot and/or Banjo Pilot
 * Merge Bat (Mario Kart 64) and Bat (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon) into a generic "Bat (species)" article
 * Merge Lightfish to Glimmer
 * Merge Pile Driver Micro-Goomba to Mini Goomba
 * Merge Winged Strollin' Stu to Swipin' Stu
 * Merge the character and species articles for Yoshi, Toad, and Magikoopa/Kamek
 * Merge Panser and Volcano Plant
 * Split Mega Boo (ie SMG2) from Big Boo
 * Split all the machine parts from Super Duel Mode
 * Split Mini Goomba and Small Goomba (SM64/PMCS)
 * Merge Purple Bomber to Ceiling Surprise

No proposal needed!

 * Collect more SGB sprites
 * Finish PM enemy idles (need to animate Crystal King and do everything for Crystal Bits and Bowser; Lava Piranha is probably asking too much)
 * Give SPP better coverage in general
 * Upload proper Wario's Woods NES graphics
 * Upload Mobile Golf sprites
 * Upload NES sprites for platformer games to cover all used palette scenarios

So you've gotten into a debate with me
Want some tips into effectively arguing with me? For starters, if I start a debate acting on-the-fence suggesting a change, do not under any circumstances attempt to shut it down with a "no that's 100% impossible." Instead, take a more ambiguous approach like I'd started with. Basically, the more you push, the more I'll push back. I'm like Canary Mary from Banjo-Tooie in that regard. Additionally, "this is an English Wiki" is not now and never will be an argument. It may be an English wiki, but it's a predominantly Japanese franchise, so not looking at it from an international perspective is disingenuous and helps nobody.
