RE:Ripping Music
Brawl's music comes in BRSTM files like these:

A1 A2 A3

You can't export them without BrawlBox; it can open them and export them as a readable .wav format. And yes, there is a way the music is labeled. A = Mario, B = Donkey Kong, etc. This is the Brawl track list: http://www.mediafire.com/download/jgmd833x1l0bpjn/Tracklist.doc

They are named differently in other games; in Mario Kart Wii, if you look in the sound folder, you'll see stuff like n_circuit32_n, that means Mario/Luigi Circuit, first and second lap. But the thing for sure is that if it's a BRSTM file, it's certain to contain music. Not all games contain these, however. Brawl certainly has these. 15:18, 28 September 2013 (EDT)

Really thanks.--

RE:MarioKartWiiStuff
You mean selecting a character and taking a screenshot? Sure. It's not ripping a model though.... 16:15, 15 October 2013 (EDT)
 * Uh, that IS a screenshot FTW. I could do other characters if you like 14:21, 16 October 2013 (EDT)
 * So...you want me to use 3D Ripper DX to get Baby Peach on that exact pose? Because otherwise, if you rip a model, it's t-posed unless you're using a 3D ripper program that captures what the scene is exactly like. I might do it sometime but, c'mon, I have a slew of other things to do, and I don't always want to play the emulator.
 * BTW, I find it easier to just tough out on Time Trials and unlock 4 expert staff ghosts (YOU DIDN'T UNLOCK BABY LUIGI OMG WTF) 19:21, 16 October 2013 (EDT)
 * Well, this happened to me too, only like 4 times. I don't want to go through those measures to unlock those characters again so I had to cheat by homebrew and stuff >_>. It's not really cheating if you already beat the game once.  16:37, 17 October 2013 (EDT)

re:Filling the Staff/Beta Elements section
First, don't just copy random content from the target page. That's not acceptable.

For staff sections: I try to rattle off who did what "important" position (usually what company(ies) worked on the game, Director, producer, musician, and character design or writing depending on the game).

More importantly, though, I alway try to go above just listing stuff from the credits and establish continuity links. Stuff like "[X] was [Important employee]"'s first job at Nintendo/on Mario, "[Thing] was [Guy/Developer]'s last game before his death/departure/dissolution", "[X game] started the trend of..."... etc help add depth to the section. I also try to add random pertinent information whenever possible. For example, on the DKC page, I added which musicians did which part of the soundtrack, which is not necessarily something listed in the credits. If you dig around in game databases or read staff interview, there's ALWAYS something vaguely substantial you can add.

For beta: Just list what aspects were changed and where those development changes were visble ("Early screenshots showed minor graphical diffferences", "[Character] was mentioned in magazine previews, but cut from the final game..."), but don't go in-depth as to not make the Beta pages redundant. I've never really tried to fill Beta sections so I'm afraid I can't be quite as detailled here. --Glowsquid (talk) 10:09, 14 February 2014 (EST)

Mario Kart Wii and Wario
This and that are found in Mario Kart Wii's .SZS files, which are found in its ISO. They're unused files that are found near normal item files. 17:02, 19 February 2014 (EST)

Dummy and Dummy2
Oh, I found ut in game's data. I downloaded the MKWii game on the net, downloaded PC programs named Ctgo Usa iso converter and szs modifier Extracted game's files using CTGP USA ISO Converter and opened Race.szs (Where the images are found) using SZS midifier. So I've exported the files. This isn't illegal. I know that the images are if utem icons because are in an item list (inside Race.szs) and are named tt_item_hanachan  and tt_item_hinoBall respectvely  Ashley   ( and Red )
 * Great work! I was just curious because it is currently unused. You should have some knowledge of it. Don't forget to add it to List of Beta Elements. And next time, remember to add categories. In this case: Category:Mario Kart Wii Images, Category:Beta Images--

About my new stub

Re:Stickers
My problem is that we already do this with normal Mario art. We don't upload alternate art for Mario stickers, I figure, why not just do the same for non-Mario franchises? And the thing about image sizes: all stickers are scaled to 100x100 anyway, so I don't see how that's a problem.
 * For the size, I'm already thinking about removing the limit.. Otherwise I'm saying that looking for originality is better. And why keeping artworks for non-Mario subjects when there is another choice from a Mario-related game. Seeing other images on the list, they are already stickers, they just need to be simply updated, not go searching for artworks.-- 17:47, 30 April 2014 (EDT).
 * Well, sure they're smaller and whatnot, but you should think about the image quality. Sure it's simpler to use smaller files, but a lot of the art on this wiki are in their fullest quality. Idk, maybe I should settle this with a proposal.
 * Nope, a proposal isn't for that.. fill this better before moving into the formal stuff.-- 16:01, 2 May 2014 (EDT)
 * Is this good?--
 * I guess for now, but I'm still upset that full-quality art can't be uploaded for other series. Most of the art on the sticker page from the Mario series is the actual art. D:--

In case you're wondering, we do use separate images for Mario-related stickers. We (or I) decided to upload sticker sprites because this is the way they're shown in-game, so maybe readers can have a better idea how large the stickers are. It's more accurate this way, and it doesn't hurt to upload sticker versions of existing artwork, just as how some people are uploading sprite versions of Brawl artwork. 14:55, 3 May 2014 (EDT)
 * Yes, but they aren't deleting the normal Brawl artwork. Having bigger pictures would be nice.--
 * But why do we need full-size image? Exactly what other uses do non-Mario-related full size artwork have that a personal image can't accomplish? 16:49, 3 May 2014 (EDT)
 * It's hard to say. I just prefer everything look better, that's all. :(.--

Flamin' Flames
I don't want to mark it as personal or delete it. Personal images have a limit, and I'd rather not push it. As for deleting it, it would break a lot of links, although sig images have been deleted before, leaving being red 50px links. For the time being, I'd just keep it as it is, and maybe notify the user that the image has been superseded. It's nothing to get too riled up. 16:08, 4 May 2014 (EDT)
 * What about giving the user the reminder, and deleting it if he didn't response within a month?-- 16:11, 4 May 2014 (EDT)
 * That's way too harsh. Just warn the user (once the user is active) that the image has been superseded and will be tagged as personal. 16:17, 4 May 2014 (EDT)
 * His last contribute was in April this year, should I warn him now?-- 16:18, 4 May 2014 (EDT)
 * Yeah, just let him know. 16:25, 4 May 2014 (EDT)
 * And actually, it would leave red 35x35px links not 50px ones -- Signing Nerdy Dashbot
 * I was just providing an example, lol, I wasn't being literal. 16:45, 4 May 2014 (EDT)

Hey, Dashbot! Would you mind helping me create the Open Court? Considering th images you've uploaded, you've probably got the emulator. Would you please help me? - 05:23, 19 May 2014 (EDT)

 * Mario Tennis 64, look in courts, and you'll get your answer - 05:31, 19 May 2014 (EDT)

 * Sure. It may take me a day, as it's practically 8 o'clock in the afternoon here. Would you be able to upload images of the other courses as well, at a later time? - 05:43, 19 May 2014 (EDT)
 * And by the way, what colour are the courts? They seem confusingly opposite. - 05:47, 19 May 2014 (EDT)
 * I will upload images for all the courts eventually, But from the first look: The Open Court looks identical to the Hard Court.-- 05:51, 19 May 2014 (EDT)
 * What colour is that? Blue or green? - 05:53, 19 May 2014 (EDT)
 * It is a little to the green, I suppose.-- 05:56, 19 May 2014 (EDT)
 * As for the open court: the image is here, according to the selection screen: the ballspeed is Normal, and so is the Bonuce. The description goes as "A special court for a special game.".. It is pretty pointless description by the way.-- 06:02, 19 May 2014 (EDT)

Thanks. I've made the courses and such, and thanks for the images. The article is looking good now. Might consider feature nomination. What should we work on next? That was actually quite fun. I could do Mario Golf (Nintendo 64) or Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color), but anyway. Thanks for your help, tell me if you want to work together again. - 07:36, 19 May 2014 (EDT)

 * Sure. No pressure. - 08:58, 20 May 2014 (EDT)
 * here ya go, take it while it is hot.-- 09:00, 20 May 2014 (EDT)
 * Thanks. Is there also a literal records screen? As in where you see what opponents you've versed in Exibition and their difficulty, like this?. - 09:12, 20 May 2014 (EDT)
 * Yeah, there is, but it is currently almost empty for me.. I will play few matches and then upload one.-- 09:26, 20 May 2014 (EDT)

Darn it!
As much as I wanted to rip sprites for myself, I never did that. To answer your question, well, I took the sheets from that site indeed. I do not own any original physical copies of games I took care of on this wiki, like Donkey Kong Land and Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, and instead either I own some on the 3DS Virtual Console or I played them on certain occasions. Thus, I really don't know how to rip sprites from games in such forms.

However, as long as some pages won't get any attention regarding sprites, grammar etc, I will assure the update of them. Of course, only if I am well informed, or prepared with images. Bye bye! --

By the way, and this message is for everyone: I'm going to decapitalize section titles only from articles describing elements that belong to games I already played. FINISHED.
