http://steamsignature.com/profile/english/76561198068960576.png . I have been able to do it before since September 2016. Just to make sure it wasn't me on 11.3.0-36, I tested Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and that worked perfectly. I tested this on an older version and latest version of HANS. I don't know what is going on with me. I'm going to have to investigate this further over on /r/3dshacks on Reddit. Report back to me if you have issues too (along with what version of the 3DS firmware you are using). -- 22:42, 20 April 2017 (EDT)
 * I think I have a potential lead how to get around this issue: Even though this is not what we are experiencing, it could be related and this is what we should try. -- 14:35, 27 April 2017 (EDT)

RE: Well
Nothing gets past you, I see. I'll try harder next time. 21:03, 25 April 2017 (EDT)
 * It's lucky for you, then, that you and I are the only people who can see this exchange. There's absolutely nothing to worry about. 21:13, 25 April 2017 (EDT)

Shots
Beautiful MSS screenshots. Have you been capturing them yourself?

03:13, 27 April 2017 (EDT)


 * Nice. What is the latest version that supports the "homebrew" and HANS techniques? My 3DS original is version 11.2.0-35E, is it possible? I'm completely new to this stuff, so please assume that I know nothing :)


 * By the way, how's Lefty doing?


 * 07:05, 28 April 2017 (EDT)


 * For Soundhax, which region is safe to select for Australia/New Zealand?


 * And it's good to hear Lefty is keeping herself busy with other projects.


 * 19:45, 28 April 2017 (EDT)


 * Damn. I don't want to risk anything going wrong, so I won't try it. Hopefully they fully support it sometime soon.

Re:Featured Articles
I, too, have updated my version of the page with the 2017 nominations you added to your own version. 18:20, 27 April 2017 (EDT)

Life, the universe, and this one dork on Earth
I have been floating around the Internet on other sites, but for the most part, I was sleeping and generally taking it easy. There was a lot happening at the time I stopped popping up here, but for the most part, I've at least gotten over the biggest hurdle. Still, I miss having fun and having discussions with everyone here, and at the very least, I have a few unfinished projects to go through. I'm not sure I'll fully swing back into action immediately, but I'll get into the swing of things soon enough, I think. I just want to have fun right now and enjoy myself. 22:06, 30 April 2017 (EDT)

Galleries with Media
Gallery:Baby Luigi - During the voting period of the proposal, some galleries were using media files with the OGG extension and pages are hard-linking to the files. It's on the to-do list of pages to modify. It's not many. It's mostly Mario Party (series) and Mario Kart (series) pages that are doing that. Any template that uses a  or   parameter. You can follow the conversation of related dealings here. . You can continue doing that to galleries if you want, but keep in mind that if the bot is working in that namespace, your edits could interfere with its operation. -- 19:58, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Thanks for letting me know that. I just want to make Baby Luigi-related edits, so I don't really want to edit all galleries. It'd be my last. 20:03, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
 * I only detected a handful of gallery pages out of the hundreds in . -- 20:14, 3 May 2017 (EDT)

Here's what I detected: That's all the galleries (as far as I can use Pywikibot). -- 20:42, 3 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Gallery:Baby Luigi
 * Gallery:Toadette‎
 * Gallery:Wario‎
 * Gallery:Baby Mario‎

MP7 Screenshot
Do you think you can take a screenshot of File:Donkey's Tree House.png with Boo instead of Toadette so that way it can replace File:MP7 Jump Man.jpg? All that image is doing is being used on a gallery page, which is kind of wasteful to me and isn't worth keeping. -- 15:27, 4 May 2017 (EDT)

Banazaiiii
You've done plenty of work already, and I'm impressed. Seriously, your edits have been outstanding. I'd still say that one or two sections could be improved as well, but I'm more than willing to retract my opposition. 21:49, 16 May 2017 (EDT)

Brute.jpg
Since File:Brute.jpg has been tagged with an image quality template, and you're the uploader of the current image, I might as well ask: is there any way of improving the current image? 23:35, 28 June 2017 (EDT)
 * I don't want to seem impatient, but my question still stands. 14:17, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

Bowser's Gnarly Party and Bowser's Nightmare Logos
Hello I'm a guest wanting to ask a favor. Can you get Bowser's Gnarly Party and Bowser's Nightmare Logos please? I wanna use them without the background cause I want to get em for my icon. I can't seem to find it anywhere online, meaning I'd have to rip it from the game's files. Some users from chat said that you might be able to help. Are you able to and willing to do this for me? Thanks! Hopefully they can be in HD.

Too much?

Bowser's Enchanted Inferno Logo & the Bowser Presents of Mario Party 4
Is it possible to get Bowser's Enchanted Inferno logo from Mario Party 7? Also I hope the Bowser Presents are not being too much of a problem. I thank you for this. I'm sure your a very very busy person which I can understand that. I should let you know I come from Deviantart and I'm know as Dry Bowzilla. I could make an account here but I'm still thinking about it. You can reply to me when you want.

My question is still here if you didn't know. Also if you wanna reach me besides here. You can contact me on Deviantart too. 6:26 PM August 16, 2017

Super Mario Odyssey rating
Why did Super Mario Odyssey get an E10+? 23:42, 1 August 2017 (EDT)

Also, I'm guessing you don't know why Dream Team got an E10+ as well. Anyways, I know you from GameFAQs. I'm lcrossmk8, if you didn't know. 00:03, 2 August 2017 (EDT)

Just a thank you
I just want to say thank you for uploading the PNG images of the karts' variants and gliders' variants. I really needed them and I greatly appreciate it. B ron 3000 18:31, 5 August 2017 (EDT)

Craw
I was actually about to make a Category:Carrion Birds to put them and the various vultures and condors in, but now that I see that all the names for Dark Craw are derived from members of the Crow family, I suppose it should go there instead. 22:17, 23 August 2017 (CT)
 * Kaibado would be a Corvid, but I'd say Jibberjay should be classified under Parrots, because that's solely a punny English name referring to their motor-mouthed nature. Most other languages reference parrots, except one which instead references toucans. They look like parrots and like to talk nonstop, which is fairly indicative of parrots ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYcWA_RNl1s ). 23:02, 23 August 2017 (CT)

Hi, just wanted to tell you that a concern you brought up in this proposal is being addressed in this proposal. Just wanted to let you know. :) 17:07, 17 September 2017 (EDT)

Sorry, I was referring to the now-banned anon that was insulting our policies, not the admins. The admins aren't pretentious. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:59, 10 October 2017 (EDT)

Hangar Management
According to Alex, there's no 4-player mode. 16:14, 25 November 2017 (EST)
 * Having played Score Scuffle (which is like the DS's version of Decathlon), the 4-player version of the minigame plays exclusively in that mode. 16:18, 25 November 2017 (EST)
 * Fair enough. 16:20, 25 November 2017 (EST)
 * Just posting this for records-sake, played Score Scuffle again (it has been a while, admittedly) and there is a unique 4-player version to the mode. 16:36, 25 November 2017 (EST)

Pedantry
As a reminder of one of the most insignificant rules, image captions shouldn't end with a period if they're a sentence fragment. 14:55, 28 November 2017 (EST)
 * Will I get banned for this? 18:16, 28 November 2017 (EST)
 * You're not going to be banned for not doing this, but it's a part of our manual of style. It'd be best to keep everything consistent. 10:33, 29 November 2017 (EST)

Mario Party: The Top 100
You've done amazing work with the Mario Party: The Top 100 page, but forgive me if I keep pushing until every section is up to snuff. The descriptions for the other characters are good, but the text gets squished on mobile. 10:33, 29 November 2017 (EST)
 * It now takes up 50% of the space. The text is certainly more readable, but it doesn't seem ideal. 14:26, 29 November 2017 (EST)
 * Would a full-fledged table work without images, or do you have a plan for that? 14:29, 29 November 2017 (EST)
 * Sounds good!
 * No more complaints from me. 19:03, 29 November 2017 (EST)

On a related note, Mario Party 9 and Mario Party: Star Rush have the same issue (actually, MP9 might be worse off since its minigame section is entirely empty). Do you think it'd be possible to take care of them? 20:13, 29 November 2017 (EST)

About The Advice
I didn't know that. Thanks for the advice.

Re: Image Uploads
I'm uploading directly from mobile, then adding the descriptions on desktops. I'd rather not finagle with the finicky stuff on my phone. 11:15, 30 November 2017 (EST)

Apology
I am sorry for my attitude towards you a few years ago. Was logging on some old sites that I still remembered vaguely and noticed that I have been rude to you.

So Baby Luigi, I apologize for my behavior towards you on unnecessary edits that I have mad and you deleted. I hope you forgive me for my actions.

MH3o3
Hey did you notice that if you click on the link to the nomination page on Mario Hoops 3-on-3 it brings you to the archived, failed nomination. Is there any way to fix that? I'm not familiar with how the Template:FASTAT works.
 * Yea thanks I was really confused at first. I'm going to look into the points you made to in order to improve the article.
 * Ok, I think I'm going to work on a Controls Section. I feel that is useful to add to the Gameplay.
 * Thanks, I was just about to actually tell you I finished it.
 * Yea, I uploaded all of those sprite pictures last night when I found the game's manual online and screenshotted and cropped them. Obviously, the quality sucks, but hopefully we can figure something out. It's the best we have so far.
 * That is where I got them from, lol. I'm not the slightest bit skilled with image and sprite ripping so what I uploaded last night and put onto the page was the best I could manage.

FA
I just tuned up the character section. Tell me what you think.
 * Ok, I fixed it. I think characters and items are fine now. What else did you want to do?
 * I'll work on that.
 * What else does the page need?
 * I found a video with only two of the Coin Hunter courses, but that's definitely a start. Maybe later I'll fire up some of my old DS's and play the other two courses.

Wario edit
It still works for something anyway, because it's proof. And plus, as I told you before, Wario is not Bowser, and he isn't evil in the first place, just greedy. 18:33, 24 December 2017 (EST)
 * What the picture means is that Wario actually cares for more things than greed and power--he also cares about his closest friends, even if he is not necessarily a good guy. But that's the point, if he's not black and white, then isn't he also a nicer guy at his core with a lot of flaws? That's why the statement needs to be there. It doesn't matter how bad Wario and Waluigi are, the picture shows that they genuinely care about each other and will always have each other's back. We already talk so much about his bad habits and personality, so why not talk about his softer side, which this picture shows? Even just that one paragraph would do enough for the section. And let me guess, you disagreed with my edit and removed it obviously because you hate Wario and you're out to get him. 18:55, 24 December 2017 (EST)
 * And that's exactly why it deserves to be there. Even with your interpretation, that's just like Bowser and Bowser Jr's relationship, and as we all know, they are both morality pets for each other. It's pretty much the same thing here regardless of interpretation, and the only difference in our interpretations is to what extent does it show his softer side. The paragraph I put in there still allows for multiple interpretations, because it says he seems to have a softer side, not that he explicitly does have a softer side. Know the difference between these two. 19:15, 24 December 2017 (EST)
 * Who said Wario had to look soft in that picture? He's just showing his more caring and nice side by helping out his old buddy, Waluigi, and although Wario and Waluigi have a not-exact relationship, they are, at the very least, two best friends who found each other and have had each other's back since then. I think the picture does show that Wario does care about Waluigi enough to help him the way he does, because after all, they both want to beat the Mario Bros, and all they've got is each other. After all, at the very least, they are two bad guys who found each other. And plus, aren't they not black-and-white characters and more morally ambiguous people? That picture is one of the rare sources that show them actually helping each other out and caring for each other. 19:31, 24 December 2017 (EST)
 * This isn't about Wario's treatment towards Waluigi, it's how that picture of them shows his more nicer and more caring side. Again, he's a morally ambiguous and greedy anti-hero, not a villain who wants to dominate the world. He's not driven by any desire to rule the world or destroy anything good, he's driven by his contempt and jealousy for Mario and his greed, so that picture which shows him actually care about and help someone, in this case Waluigi, would show the white and nicer side in his ambiguous and gray personality. 19:47, 24 December 2017 (EST)
 * Uh, I'm not so sure about that. Wario may be willing to drop some baddies to get his hands on more money, but he has nowhere near a similar mindset as those with the desire to dominate the world. He's just a guy with an ego who wants money and is willing to gain it if he thinks the price is worth it to gain that money, but he still has friends, and he cares for them, and that's what the picture shows. He's more of a guy who would play crude pranks on Mario to stroke his ego than to outright throw him into the lava to get his hands on money, and it shows multiple times. Also, he does do things solely for the advancement of his own goals, but again, he's only going to go so far when it comes down to it, and he's not going to cross his own line. He's not evil, he's just a jerk with a softer side that only his closest friends know about, and I think that picture shows it. But when it comes down to this, is it just a matter of opinion or what? We both have really good points, you know. 20:00, 24 December 2017 (EST)
 * And do you think that the loose representations of Wario here are precisely what make him so morally ambiguous in the first place? In fact, for this very reason, do you think that the entire Mario franchise is becoming morally ambiguous, or is it just still black-and-white as it usually is? If you want to know my answer, I think it's pretty obvious, that it's just a mostly black-and-white franchise with some moral ambiguity. 20:09, 24 December 2017 (EST)
 * Yeah, you're right, but I like to do that sometimes. 20:13, 24 December 2017 (EST)

Re:YIDS
Spriter's Resource, why? I'm looking to improve the levels section to match it with SMW2's.
 * Because the pictures are small, but once it's on the page it's gonna look fine because I'm gonna format them small. Look at the levels section for SMW2 and you'll see what I'm going for,
 * Oh sorry ok. If you want to make the table yourself you can, I didn't realize it was your idea. My bad.
 * Wow that looks a lot better. How do you improve the quality?
 * Oh, I see. If you want to carry on with the whole project go ahead. I'll finish uploading the MH3o3 Media.

I'm still gauging melonDS's usefulness compared to. I'm finding the early alpha releases crude and not worth it yet. My page does mention it, but doesn't recommend using it. -- 22:35, 25 December 2017 (EST)
 * I've been struggling getting that working in melonDS. It's very hit or miss right now. I was looking to replace File:DixieSwing65.png because of its non-compliance of policy, but melonDS reports some conflicts when trying to establish an emulated link. To contrast, I can get multipak Game Boy Advance support working in mGBA. The emulated link method should work the same. -- 09:34, 26 December 2017 (EST)

Is the separation of T. and S. Chinese languages done?
If you remember a few days ago, I asked if T. (Traditional) and S. (Simplified) should be seperated. You agreed with this decision, and I even showed the current way we put them in the language list. Are you done with it yet? Gold Luigi (talk) 05:44, 31 December 2017 (EST)

Vote Removal
If I didn't listen to other people's comments, then I would not have made the huge edits to the reception section and the edits to the intro that I included. I did listen, but I still thought the article still warranted being featured. My opinion still counts, you know. 16:29, 2 January 2018 (EST)

Mario Hoops
Hey I fixed the two remaining red links by creating an article for the Coin Hunter courses. BTW, "Forest Stage" is really "Strange Forest", I'm not sure where the person who first put Forest Stage into the article got that name from, but whatever. The article seems pretty good to me.
 * I completely forgot about the Toads' roles in the game. I just added them. I am 100% certain now that the article is missing nothing. Let me know if you remember anything else though.

y u do dis
https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mario_Kart:_Double_Dash!!&diff=2361852&oldid=2361851 I challenge you to name one game in the series other than this one where there are only three objects without eyes. This is the only game I've seen with Fire Bars, Pyramids, Volcanoes, signs, etc having eyes. Just because mushrooms usually have eyes and hills have had eyes in maybe 6 games doesn't make Double Dash's overdoing it any less notable. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:19, 17 January 2018 (EST)
 * I still think the trivia itself is a bit of a ridiculous thing to point out. It's like saying Super Mario 64 is the only game in the series that has butterflies that can explode. The meaning of what constitutes as an "object" is still fairly unclear to me, since there are also Mushroom City/Bridge cars, Cataquaks, Daisy Cruiser tables, boats, hot air balloons, and other stuff in the scenery that aren't obstacles that do not have eyes. And we're also comparing the background objects in that game towards other completely unrelated games in the Mario series, like say in Mario Party, it could come with an overall higher net number of background objects having eyes due to a huger variety of scenes and characters than Mario Kart. I really don't think this trivia is good enough to stay on there. 23:31, 17 January 2018 (EST)
