Unlocking
Could somebody say how to unlock Dr. Mario and Luigi. YoshiFan 21:27, 4 November 2006 (EST)


 * For Luigi, play 800 Versus Matches. (There's another method, but it's complicated and I don't have time to explain it now.)  For Dr. Mario, just beat Classic mode with Mario.Waluigi Freak 99 17:20, 28 January 2007 (EST)
 * Luigi is also unlockable by doing adventure mode and finishing the stage with a two in the seconds column (03:12:43). Luigi will then join the melee and kicks Mario away so he can fight you with Peach. Kill them both and Luigi's yours. But, next time, don't use the talk page for things like that on this wiki.

Rewrite
Anything still to be covered, or can the rewrite template be removed? Cobold 11:34, 14 February 2007 (EST)

food
Food is from the Kirby series! in the Kirby games Kirby could eat various foods to increase his health. IF it says SSBM we should mention Kirby.
 * The trophy doesn't make any mention of the Kirby series. Besides, I believe there's at least one Pokémon food in the game, so I doubt all of it came from the Kirby series. -- 19:00, 6 March 2007 (EST)

OK... not starting an argument.

According to the guide, Food's first appearance is in SSBM.

I'm just saying, some of the food (cherries, soda/syrup lookin thing) are all Kirby while others (that white and black triangle-thing) is actually Pokemon (I think, maybe the TV show...) anyway, so not all of the food is Smash Original. and, they messed up before. listening to Onett theme on loop. Yay!

Or... maybe they are just regular food from no series in particular? 20:39, 6 March 2007 (EST)

Exactly! but... the Cherries and soda/syrup holder-thing are Kirby. I am currently working in Operation:Fake Isyou. see Talk:Main Page for details.

That would be my guess, Knife. I think they're just generic food. Besides, cherries were also in Super Mario Bros. 2; that doesn't prove anything.

OK.

Shortening
The MediaWiki software has noted that the article is too long, which may cause editing problems with some browsers. It suggests splitting the article into several sections. It would be possible splitting the level information for the adventure mode and event matches to special pages. I also propose the Marioverse Character Moves to be removed. The characters' moves can be easily seen on their corresponding pages. - Cobold

I support removing the character's move, useless. Gofer
 * I feel it may be a good idea to move the special attacks to each character's respective page, under an "Attacks" section, or something of the like. -- 15:54, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
 * The special moves have been moved to the characters' pages. However, the article is still tagged as too long. What parts of it should be moved to special pages? (see also Special Paper Mario Pages) Event matches? - Cobold

There is no need to do anything to page. It happens to all long pages, like the Mario page. To prevent this problem, people with bad browsers should consider editing section by section. 16:49, 29 July 2007 (EDT)
 * I agree with Knife on this one. Just edit section by section, it isn't that hard.
 * Wow, didn't know how old this comment is? Of course, now I'm thinking the same way. - 03:18, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Descriptions of Characters, Items and Stages
Currently, only the Marioverse items have a short description on this page. Shouldn't there be some kind of short description for all items, and for characters and stages, too? Their articles then can go in-depth. Something like on Super Mario Strikers was on my mind. - 09:23, 26 June 2007 (EDT)
 * Agreed. 09:27, 26 June 2007 (EDT)

Go for it. User:Fixitup

?
Why does Jigglypuffs box have her japanese name? - Ultimatetoad
 * The images are official artwork which was most likely released on some Japanese official website. We can't edit the names now. Also look at Bowser's name (Koopa). - 09:10, 17 July 2007 (EDT)
 * What you see there is (if I remember right) the result of the Japanese Nintendo site's edits. We never were given a plain artwork for the secret characters.  03:08, 17 August 2007 (EDT)

Event Matches table
We apparently do have a MediaWiki bug in there, because the borders don't display properly. The same table looks fine when only using the Show Preview mode. Anyone have a solution? - 05:23, 9 August 2007 (EDT)
 * Isn't this the same thing that happened on my User Page? Well, kinda the same thing?

There kinda the same.--Luigibros2 12:13, 25 November 2007 (EST)

New way to unlock Marth?
My friends and I were playing Super Smash when Marth suddenly came up (in VS, before Jiggs even) for no reason.

The memory was fairly new, but I think I know what happened: We got Marth by playing as all the defaults once. We played as Mario, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, DK, Link, Zelda/Shiek, Falcon, Fox, Pika, Ness, Kirby, the Ice Climbers, and Samus.

Someone wanna test this out? "Beating the Classic Mode with all default characters, or playing 400 VS matches." So you didn't unlock him in one of those ways? - 07:52, 28 September 2007 (EDT)


 * Nopes. We had only played ten-ish matches, so I figured it was the mthod I stated above. -Dodo
 * It won't help us much if we don't know what caused it. Also, it sounds like a bug. - 14:28, 29 September 2007 (EDT)
 * Once again, the method that I stated above. If someone tried it, we'd know for sure. -User:dodoman
 * Wow, that's pretty neat. Probably a bug like Cobold said though, but I'll be sure to try that out. -  Glitchman

Okay, so I tried it a few times on different discs AND different Cubes (and one Wii), and it's worked each time. So, I can say that it is most definitely not a glitch.
 * Why? A glitch can occur regularly and be on all discs and systems. Minus World appeared on all copies of the original Super Mario Bros. - 11:26, 23 December 2007 (EST)

Pffff, this is old new. Aside from playing a set number of VS match, you can unlock him by playing with each of the 14 starters characters at least once in VS mode, I unlocked him that way. Blitzwing
 * If it's confirmed, you can add it to the section. - 13:18, 23 December 2007 (EST)

Event Articles
Umm, do you think the event matches should have their own articles?
 * Maybe one big article for all of them if the article gets too big? 15:54, 3 February 2008 (EST)
 * No, I don't think so. They are too minor. - 05:28, 4 February 2008 (EST)
 * I would agree with Stumper there. We have a List of Implied Characters about guys/creature that were only mentioned once throught the Mario series and then promplty forgotten. Since the events can sometimes feature things that are not anywhere else in the game (Dark Link for example), I think it would atleast make sense to have a list of 'em.
