Trick
You should crop out your pics.

BTW, I'm very conflicted if I should upload animated gifs. On one hand, it illustrates the tricks better, but on the other hand, it would REALLY destroy the loading time of this page. 16:59, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * I will crop the pics, except in the examples of the talk pages in order to show where they were taken. Regarding the gifs, those work well with MK8 as MKTV allows slow motion and in Time Trials Replays the "rear" point of view can be chosen. You might try a dedicated orphan page and see what happens. At the moment I don't have the software to create gifs from clips, so I would need suggestions about this aspect.--Mister Wu (talk) 17:06, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * No, I mean, I'm able to create animations directly from the source in Mario Kart Wii. 17:08, 20 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Ah, ok! Well, this is not something I can really do, but anyway I will finish the section on the talk page so you will see what I mean.--Mister Wu (talk) 17:21, 20 September 2015 (EDT)

Minor Question
In this revision of the Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros. article, you state that "'PAL' is a standard that is not followed by European 3DS games!" If European 3DS games do not use the PAL format, which format do they use, then? What is your source on this? 06:40, 7 January 2016 (EST)
 * There is a technical matter here, but PAL, which means "Phase Alternating Line", is a color encoding system used for analog television signals. In Europe and other parts of the world, the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii and, in part (when you use the analog output), the Wii U have to follow this standard, and the games for those consoles are said "PAL versions" (although in the case of the Wii U digital output is supported and therefore "PAL version" is not really precise). All Nintendo portable consoles actually never followed this standard because their screens are directly controlled by the console and the PAL encoding for the transmission of video is not needed (in particular, the articles here and here show the ribbon cables used to transmit the video signal in the case of the 3DS and new 3DS XL). This is why "PAL" version makes sense only in the context of home console games and less so in the case of the Wii U.--Mister Wu (talk) 08:44, 7 January 2016 (EST)
 * Just so you know, currently, this wiki uses "PAL" as shorthand for the European and Australian region releases/localizations, hence it was being used for a handheld game in the first place. A recent proposal to scrap the term was met with a lot of opposition even though we're using the term (and NTSC), more broadly than its technical definition, since there's no other way to really succinctly talk about the different groups of countries: we just have to make do with what we got. - 09:47, 7 January 2016 (EST)
 * Ok, sorry, I didn't understand what was the proper use after the proposal failed. I think that someday an alternative should be found because with the arrival of HDMI PAL will be less and less used.--Mister Wu (talk) 09:50, 7 January 2016 (EST)

Nintendo Badge Arcade Image Uploads
I think you duplicated images. Check Gallery:Nintendo Badge Arcade. -- 21:40, 6 February 2016 (EST)
 * That's a deliberate decision. The new images have a higher resolution and some of them were actually already uploaded and are appearing as duplicate. If you want, we can decide before changing the gallery which ones to use. For consistency and resolution, I prefer the new set.--Mister Wu (talk) 21:43, 6 February 2016 (EST)
 * OK. I thought you were unaware somehow. -- 21:57, 6 February 2016 (EST)

Quiz show
I'll do the talking around here. I think I'll just ask you a couple of questions. Questions only the Super Mario Wiki contributors could answer. Wanna answer some random questions? Toco Bell 16:46, 6 March 2016 (EST)
 * The way you put it doesn't seem that enticing... if you go personal I won't answer for sure on a public page ;-)!--Mister Wu (talk) 17:06, 6 March 2016 (EST)

Your table in the Mario Kart Wii article
An actual stats table for Mario Kart Wii is a very great thing to have in MarioWiki, but unfortunately how it's formatted also needs to be taken into account. The words are tiny in an attempt to accommodate the size of it, but even so, it side-scrolls in even 1680x1080 resolution, the resolution I use and a pretty wide one at that. It's pretty much unreadable and for any web-design, you want to avoid side-scrolling at all costs. Walkazo's suggestion or even what my twin said should maybe be taken into account, as I think we need to reformat the table asap. By the way, I don't mean to offend in that post, it's just that counter-productive design bugs me. 13:08, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
 * Don't worry at all! I 100% agree with you, side scrolling must be avoided, and I was hoping that someone with knowledge on MediaWiki gave me some help (by the way, I am using a 1920 x 1080 resolution monitor, so if at lower resolutions, such as the very common 1366 x 768, some layouts are broken in pages edited by me, tell me!)! Are there specific code strings we might use? Or should we split the table in sub-tables (eg.: one table for each of the menu stats)?--Mister Wu (talk) 19:06, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
 * I'm not too knowledgeable about creating tables. Maybe you can variations of it in your sandbox page and fool around with what you got. I do like the sub-table idea, maybe that could work. 19:27, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
 * I thought about it, maybe I could transpose the table and split it by weight class and, if needed, even vehicle class (karts and bikes). I might try a spreadsheet and this tool, do you know if it is reliable?--Mister Wu (talk) 19:51, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
 * Maybe you could split it by weight class, but I don't see how that will decrease horizontal size (those values after all are vertically oriented), unless you want to overhaul it and make the karts column-oriented instead of stats instead, and then split the weight classes and maybe even split the types of vehicles too, considering that they handle differently and have different mechanics. I don't know if the spreadsheet is reliable, never used it myself before. 19:57, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
 * Yes, transposing means that each vehicle becomes a column. This way, having many rows won't be an issue, and we can safely decide how many columns we want (having them split by vehicle type and weight type means we will never have that many columns). I might try it if you want.--Mister Wu (talk) 20:02, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
 * Yeah sorry for my lack of vocab skills lol. I'd like to see you work with it. :) 20:07, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
 * Ok, I created in the page a transposed table split by size. Is it fine?--Mister Wu (talk) 22:17, 28 March 2016 (EDT)
 * I've looked at it and it's fine in this current resolution, buuut I haven't checked lower ones. 17:30, 29 March 2016 (EDT)
 * Thank you for checking! If you have reports of troubles at lower resolutions, please tell me, and in this case I will split also by vehicle class (karts and bikes). Should I also transpose the characters' bonuses table?--Mister Wu (talk) 17:43, 29 March 2016 (EDT)
 * I suggest you should in order to keep consistency. 17:28, 30 March 2016 (EDT)
 * Done! Thank you for all the suggestions! If you have other issues or suggestions, please tell me!--Mister Wu (talk) 18:28, 30 March 2016 (EDT)

Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. related questions
Since you are now done with the Koopaling bios from the Encyclopedia, you could probably check a couple of more things related to enemies: 1.) How are Boss Bass and Big Bertha from SMB3 descriped? Do they have their own bios or not? 2.) Are post-SMB3 Rocky Wrenches said to be moles? You can also use the Memorial Book to check this. 3.) What is said about the blue fake Bowser from SMB:LL?

If more comes to my mind, I'll post here. PS. Not to be rude, but I don't know why you always write something in the summary. It's kinda excessive especially for talk pages imo. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 10:03, 16 April 2016 (EDT)
 * I'll try to answer all points:
 * 1)Boss Bass and Big Bertha in the Super Mario Bros. 3 enemies page are actually the same enemy, here is the description:
 * 巨大プクプク
 * 水面を移動し、ジャンプして襲 いかかってくる. 水中にいることもある.


 * So, actually, they are considered the same enemy, the interesting thing is that they are distinct from Boss Bass that appears in Super Mario 64 and subsequent games, who is called 「バサバサ」 instead. In the Memorial Book only the latter is present, and is confirmed not to be featured in Super Mario Bros. 3.




 * 2)Rocky Wrenches


 * Unfortunately, these enemies aren't featured in the Memorial Book Characters' pages. Here are the descriptions from the games other than Super Mario Bros. 3 as reported in the Encyclopedia, where thaey are known as 「プー」 (and are distinguished from the Rocky Wrenches of Super Mario Galaxy that are called 「モグ」, so we finally have an official source for the different name!):


 * NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. WII


 * 飛行船の船体から顔を出し、スパナを投げて攻撃してくる.


 * SUPER MARIO 3D LAND


 * 穴から顔を出し、スパナやボムへいなどを投げてくる.


 * NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. U


 * 飛行船に登場. 船体から顔を出し、スパナを投げてくる.


 * So nothing particularly substantial, your question lies unanswered, unfortunately.




 * 3)Blue Bowser


 * This is actually a very interesting case that actually will likely make me rewrite the evolution of the appearance of Bowser. Before starting, let's see how the fake Bowser is described.


 * In both Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels enemies' sections he is known as 「にせ クッパ」, and here are his descriptions:


 * SUPER MARIO BROS.


 * 城コースで待ち受けるボス. W1~5は炎を、W6~7はハンマーを投げる.


 * SUPER MARIO BROS.: THE LOST LEVELS


 * 炎やハンマーで攻撃してくる. 倒すと正体がわかる.




 * Interestingly, the fake Bowser of Super Mario 3D Land has a different name,「しっぽ クッパ」. Here is his description:


 * 炎を吐 き、しっぽを回して攻撃してくる. 倒すと正体がわかる.




 * However, when we see the description of Blue Bowser, things are different. His name is 「クッパ(青)」, so it's not implied that he's a fake Bowser, his description is also peculiar:


 * 青い体のクッパ. 3か所に出現し、炎やハンマーで攻撃してくる.


 * So, it's not said that he's a fake Bowser. This might be an intriguing element for a discussion about the depiction of Bowser, since we actually have an artwork of a Blue Bowser:


 * BowserSMBart.png


 * Please note that the yellow hair, black eyebrows and red eyes come from the Super Mario Bros. cover art.


 * Regarding using the summary, I do it to briefly describe what I have done so that it's easier to correct mistakes, but also to point out an important concept in an answer.--Mister Wu (talk) 20:18, 16 April 2016 (EDT)
 * Sorry, I forgot to check the most obvious place - the AND MORE section. There's a whole paragraph dedicated to him:
 * 謎の青いクッパ!
 * W8-4でクツパと対決する直前、体の青いクッパと戦うことになる. クッパと同等の能力を持つが、その正体は不明. W9-3とWD-4にも登場する.
 * So it's not clear who he is, actually.--Mister Wu (talk) 23:22, 16 April 2016 (EDT)

So Boss Bass and Big Bertha are like prototypical Cheep Chomps and Blue Bowser is played up as a mystery. Alright, next question. 4.) Are Dino Piranha and Gobblegut separated from their fire counterparts in the book or under the same enemy slot? SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 07:40, 17 April 2016 (EDT)
 * 4)Dino Piranha
 * The Encyclopedia clearly consider them separate characters, and the Super Mario Galaxy 2 enemies' section even has three of them:
 * SUPER MARIO GALAXY
 * SUPER MARIO GALAXY


 * ディノパックン


 * マリオを見つけると、大きな口を開けて襲 いかかってくる. しっぽが弱点.




 * ディノパックン(黒)


 * 炎をまとったディノパックン. 体に触れるとダメージ.




 * SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2


 * ディノパックン


 * マリオを見つけると追いかけてくる. しっぽが弱点.




 * ディノパックン(黒)


 * 炎の体のディノパックン. 火の玉を吐 いてくる.




 * ディノパックンJr.


 * マリオを追いかけてくる. タマゴの殻 に包まれたおしりが弱点.




 * The Super Mario Memorial Book only describe Dino Piranha but also mentions the two other versions:


 * ディノパックン


 * 恐ろしく巨大なパックンフラワー. 幼体のディノパックンJr.や体に炎をまとった仲間も登場する.




 * Regarding Gobblegut, he's only mentioned in the Encyclopedia, again distinguished between normal and "dark" version:


 * ガブリュウ


 * 大きな口で攻撃してくる. 長い体の赤い部分が弱点.




 * ガブリユウ(黒)


 * 炎の体を持ち、火の玉を降らしてくるガブリユウ. 長い体の赤い部分が弱点.


 * --Mister Wu (talk) 11:24, 17 April 2016 (EDT)

Dino Pakkun Jr. I recognise as Peewee Piranha. As for the others, the only identifiers seem to come from the kanji in parantheses. I remember Koopa Troopas getting similar treatment in the book. 5.) What about Toads? I'm the guy who doesn't easily believe that characters who can be portrayed as species would have their own unique individual in the form of a generic character, seeing how much they have interchangability imo, but I've seen some pages that seem to point to the contradictory. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 08:35, 27 April 2016 (EDT)
 * Regarding Toad and Toads there are many interesting parts in both books, it will take me some time to gather all the relevant parts and I will be busy this week-end, so you'll see no earlier than the next week, probably even later than that, unfortunately.--Mister Wu (talk) 19:11, 27 April 2016 (EDT)
 * 5)I was finally able to transcribe the descriptions of the Encyclopedia. Since you were interested in the matter, I included Yellow Toad, Blue Toad and Captain Toad.

 * So, it is confirmed that the Toad of Super Mario 3D World is not the Blue Toad, but just Toad, with the blue color being a reference to the NES version of Super Mario Bros. 2. Captain Toad is also confirmed to not be just Toad, but a separate character (although it is introduced just as a red Toad). Generally, there is not a clear distinction between the character Toad and the Toad species, and even in Super Mario 3D World they share the same name with the Toad icon un.png being the distinguishing factor and a particular reference to the Toad character is missing. The Encyclopedia also has a page dedicated to the games starring other characters of the Super Mario Bros. series. This is the section regarding Toad and Captain Toad:


 * キノピオ&キノピオ隊長


 * キノピオが初めて主役となったのは、1994年にファミリーコンピュータ用に発売された『ワリオの森』でのこと. 妖精たちのすむ森をワリむ森をワリオの魔の手から救うためにモンスターと戦うという、パズルアクションゲームだ. 『スーパーマリオUSA』で培 つたカ持ちという設定を活かし、敵や爆弾を投げて消していく.


 * また、『スーパーマリオギャラクシー』で初登場のキノピオ隊長も、2014年にWiiUで発売された『進め!キノピオ隊長』では主役を務めた. 『進め!キノピオ隊長』は、箱庭型のコースでグリーンスターを探すアドベンチャーゲームで、キノピコとともに冒険を繰り広げる. 『スーパーマリオ3Dワールド』とかかわりの深いストーリーとなっており、一部には同じパワーアップアイテムや敵キャラクターも登場している.


 * It is again evident that Captain Toad is the same one of Super Mario Galaxy, while I cannot understand if the Toad of Wario's Woods is the same as that of Super Mario Bros. 2 (though the wording seems to refer to other elements instead).


 * Finally, these are the descriptions in the Super Mario Memorial Book:


 * キノピオ


 * キノコ王国の住人たち. ピーチをさらわれてマリオに助けを求めるのがお約束のシリーズを代表するキャラで、赤色や黄色などカラーはさまざま. また、キノじいやキノピオ隊長など固有の名前をもつものもいる.


 * 登場作品


 * SM, SM2, SM3, USA, SM64, SMS, NSM, SMG, NSMW, SMG2, 3DL, NSM2, NSMU, 3DW




 * キノピオ隊長


 * キノピオ探検隊の隊長. 2014年に発売された『進め!キノピオ隊長』では主演を務めた.


 * 登場作品


 * SMG, SMG2, 3DW


 * At this point, it is clear that Captain Toad is the one seen in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 and is a distinguished character to the point of being compared to Toadsworth. On the other hand, there still is no evidence for the existence of a Toad character, which is odd.--Mister Wu (talk) 11:28, 13 May 2016 (EDT)
 * Sweet zombie Jesus, you're doooone~. Props for the effort you made~.
 * Anyways, I was kinda expecting they weren't going to specify clearly if there is indeed a particular generic Toad who is portrayed as the representative character of his species. As I said, I don't easily believe in this concept, and these bios affirm my beliefs on this regarding Toad. In fact, I heavily question Kamek being a separate character from Magikoopas on the basis of wonky Yoshi's Island translation work and bios that mention SMW as his first game even though many say that was only the Magikoopa species and that Kamek "the character" appeared later in Yoshi's Island. And that's pretty much what my "no specific generic species members" belief is based on.
 * Also, where is it said that Toad's blue color in SM3DW is a reference to SMB2, I must have missed that. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 12:54, 13 May 2016 (EDT)
 * It's not said in the Encyclopedia, of course, it was just my consideration since the name is 「キノピオ」 instead of 「あおキノピオ」 explicitly used for the Blue Toad both in the characters pages and in the NSMBW and NSMBU characters bios. As far as I know, the game where we saw a playable Blue Toad that was named Toad is the NES version of SMB2, and actually all the four main characters and their abilities are taken from that game--Mister Wu (talk) 13:41, 13 May 2016 (EDT)
 * There is now also this site that might be relevant for the investigation of whether there is a Toad character. By the looks of it, they are still referring to the species, but maybe I'm wrong.--Mister Wu (talk) 10:22, 1 June 2016 (EDT)

I don't know how complete you are with the Toad question, but I've got more. 6.) This is specifically about the Memorial Book. Does it have a dedicated section about items as it does about characters? If it does, what does it say about Green Stars? 7.) Is Ice Piranha's (from NSMBU) name アイスパックン Ice Pakkun? Because if it is, then that means it's the same as Frost Piranha Japanese name wise. SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 08:13, 11 May 2016 (EDT)
 * Unfortunately Toad is taking more time than I wanted, I can answer the remaining questions as there's much less to say about them.


 * 6)No, it doesn't, but the Encyclopedia has a section related to the items in each game, including the green stars:




 * SUPER MARIO GALAXY


 * グリーンスター


 * 試練の扉を開くのに必要な、緑色のパワースター.




 * SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2


 * グリーンスター


 * パワースターを120個集めると出現する特別なスター.




 * SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD


 * グリーンスター


 * コース内にいくつか隠されている. 条件を満たすと出現することも.




 * The name is therefore the same, but the power stars (「パワースター」) are mentioned only in the two Super Mario Galaxy games. As an interesting point of comparison, the Red Power Star in Super Mario Galaxy is referred to as 「レッドパワースター」.


 * 7)As, expected, it is present only in the Encyclopedia, in which the name is exactly the same as those of the Paper Mario series:
 * 7)As, expected, it is present only in the Encyclopedia, in which the name is exactly the same as those of the Paper Mario series:


 * アイスパックン


 * 土管から顔を出し、アイスボールを吐 いて攻撃してくる. --Mister Wu (talk) 09:20, 11 May 2016 (EDT)

Then as a immediate follow-up to the sixth question: 8.) Is the Red Star power-up in that case 「レッドスター」? SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 11:18, 11 May 2016 (EDT)
 * 8)It is. Here are the descriptions of both the red star and the red power star:




 * レッドスター


 * 一定時間フライングマリオにパワーアップできる.




 * レッドパワースター


 * 天の扉でしか入手できない赤いパワースター.


 * The absence of a green star power-up might be a reason why the name doesn't specify if we're talking about green stars or green power stars.--Mister Wu (talk) 15:05, 11 May 2016 (EDT)

New set of questions: 9.) What's the form obtained from Red Star called? 10.) In SMG and SMG2, there are two types of Goombas, the standard one and the smaller, weaker kind. What's the name of that Goomba? 11.) Does the book make any type of reference to Toad Town from Paper Mario? Look for SMG and SMG2, those are the games with towns near Peach's Castle. 12.) What exactly are Goomba Towers called? --SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 03:42, 28 May 2016 (EDT)
 * 9)The form is called 「フライングマリオ」 so nothing particular, but still appropriate.


 * 10)The samller, weaker Goombas are known as 「マメクリボー」, so they are essentially Micro Goombas also in the Encyclopedia.


 * 11)This one is tricky. The place is hardly referenced at all. For example, let's look at the section dedicated to the first Super Mario Galaxy in the Encyclopedia. In the story, we have the following:


 * ピーチ姫からの招待状をにぎりしめ、マリオがお城に到着するとそこは、きらびやかに輝く星くず祭の真っ最中でした. 楽しげに踊るキノピオたちに迎えられ、


 * 幸せなひとときを感じるマリオでしたが......




 * And in the Memorial Book we don't have much more information:


 * 会場に到着すると、突如現れたクッパによってピーチ姫はさらわれ、祭りは大混乱彼女を助けるためマリオは広大な冒険へ旅立つ.




 * Of course, we also have the description of each galaxy along with the stars that can be collected there, but even those don't say much:


 * グランドフィーレギャラクシー




 * ピーチ城周辺に広がる、星くず祭の会場. キノビオたちが迎えてくれる.


 * ようこそ!星くず祭へ


 * 平和が戻ったピーチ城の庭に散らばる、パープルコイソを集める.




 * The AND MORE section also has a small paragraph, but little is said about the place:


 * 完全クリアで


 * グランド


 * フィナーレ！


 * ルイージでパワースターを120個集めると、「グランドフィナーレギャラクシー」が出現. 星くず祭が開催される中、パープルコインを集める最後シナリオだ. これをマリオとルイージでクリアすると、パワースターが全242個となって完全クリアとなる.




 * Finally, the story of Super Mario Galaxy 2, only present in the Encyclopedia, does not tell us more:


 * すっかり懐 いた 迷子の星の子 ベビィチコをつれ お城へ たどり着いたマリオですが そこで、待っていたものは…




 * It is referenced as the venue where the Star Festival is held, more or less.


 * 12)They are called 「タワークリボー」, so a simple and self-explanatory name also in the Encyclopedia.--Mister Wu (talk) 22:08, 28 May 2016 (EDT)

Here's one based on a dispute "on hold". 13.) SMG, SMG2 and SM3DW have blue Lava Bubbles; how does the Encyclopedia describe those? Are they listed in one slot or are they separate from red Lava Bubbles? SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 11:50, 3 June 2016 (EDT)
 * 13)Actually, only the Super Mario Galaxy 2 enemies section separates them, in the other two games you mentioned the blue ones are still considered Lava Bubbles.




 * SUPER MARIO GALAXY


 * バブル


 * 溶岩から飛び出し、跳ねながら追いかけてくる. 時間がたつと消える.




 * SUPER MARIO GALAXY 2


 * バブル


 * 一定の間 隔 で溶岩から飛び出す火の玉.




 * バブル(青)


 * 溶岩から飛び出し、跳ねながら追いかけてくる. しばらくすると消える.




 * SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD


 * バブル


 * 一定の間 隔 で溶岩から飛び出す. 青色のタイプもいる.




 * The Super Mario 3D world enemies section actually explicitly says that some lava bubbles are blue, while still grouping them together. The Super Mario Memorial Book group them together as well:


 * バブル


 * 『スーパーマリオブラザーズ』に登場した火の玉のようなキャラクター. ファイアスネークは仲間.


 * Curiously enough, there is no mention of the blue ones, while a connection to the Fire Snakes is made instead.

So, more of the case where a color is mentioned in parantheses to distinguish different types of a enemy. I think I get the logic behind this now: the book establishes that they are same enemy, but separates them under some circumstances, such as if there are two or more varieties that differ in appearance, functions behaviour, form etc. with color serving as the identifier from the base enemy if needed. It seems to vary from enemy to enemy, since the Lava Bubbles are separated by behaviour and appearance only in SMG2, while Dino Piranha and Gobblegut both have alternative fire forms ("Black" in the book). Anyway, next question: 14.) Is the SMB3 Missile Bill's Japanese name 「Uターンキラー」 as this wiki currently states? SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 03:55, 7 June 2016 (EDT)
 * 14)Looks like you have found another odd case here, as the Missile Bills are referenced among the Bullet Bills instead of having their own slot:


 * キラー


 * キラー砲台から発射され、まっすぐに飛んでくる. Uターンするタイプもいる.


 * This means, of course, that they don't really have a name there, but the U-turn is indeed mentioned.

Actually, now that I've taken a closer look, it was in fact me who added that name. Must have been before I started looking for sources like official guides to confirm this stuff, so I may have to remove that name. That aside, here's a new one: 15. Are the two Dragoneel colors separate as well in the Encyclopedia? SmokedChili (Talk) (Thoughts) 13:52, 25 June 2016 (EDT)
 * 15)THe two Dragoneel colors aren't separate:


 * タツノン


 * 長い胴体 を持ち、マリオに向かって泳いでくる.
