RE:Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Hey, personally I don't think it is needed as long trivia sections in an article are considered bad, and I don't think a comparsion is really needed. I think information like that may be more useful though on the [[Mario Kart (series) page, so I am going to remove it.

I just don't think it should be on that page, it should either be on the main Mario Kart series page or one of the Bowser Castle pages.

I agree with you that it would be complicated and annoying to find, but Mario Kart: Super Circuit is a featured article and therefore one of the best the wiki can offer, and with a longer trivia section it could possibly become unfeatured

Don't worry about it, besides I'm not an expert either I've only been here a couple of months, it's just I spend a lot of time around the Featured Articles so I do know some things about how a Featured Article should look. Besides the main point itself should stay.

Don't worry you'll get used to it, the only reason I joined was so I could get my voice heard on nominating to (un)feature articles.

Well I'm glad you are here, as that means that the Mario Kart articles can be improved and maybe we get them all featured one day.

Unfortunately I do not, try checking the rules or something

Saw the videos earlier, and I think I liked both of them on my YouTube account a few months ago, as for favourite Mario game I'm not sure, but I do like the Yoshi's Island titles

Userpage help
First off, you must go to your uncreated userpage here. Then you must scroll down and create the page. (There is either a link saying you can create the page, or a textbox below.) Put all you want on your page.

The second thing is, when sending a comment to someone on their talk page, always type ~ so you signature shows up, along with a talk page link. Thanks for asking! 13:58, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

-No problem! Unfortunately, you cannot remove the warnings/reminders without appealing them. 14:08, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

-You can make an appeal by following the instructions on this page. 14:42, 17 March 2013 (EDT)

RE: Just chatting
Yoshi Island DS is brilliant, but I do love Mario Kart. Unfortunately I don't have any of the games before Mario Kart DS

Good on him for completing the game so fast, I'm stuck halfway through World 4. I've been on the wiki since late December, early January

Thanks. I'd say my favourite Mario Kart track has to be Airship Fortress from DS, but I do like Koopa Kape from Wii and Rainbow Road from 7

I'm not a big fan of Moonview Highway, I think though that is because of my lack of skill on that game. And you need to play 7's Rainbow Road, I feel it's the first Rainbow Road to effectively make use of its space setting.

Personally, I think Kart 7 is the best Mario Kart and the only change I find bad is the customization as it takes ages to unlock everything

Unfortunately I don't have the time to play it loads, but over Easter I should get the final part. And for user page, I just can't be bothered at the moment, might do that over Easter as well

Have no idea what to put on my user page though :(

I'd say the Yoshi series, the Mario Kart series and I always had a soft spot for 3D Land

That would be extremely nice. Thank you. I think when I create my userpage I'll make a userblock and give it to you

From what I've gathered it's something that can go on your userpage and when befriend another user, you give it to them to show your friendship. They can also be used to show status i.e. Patrollers have the Patroller userblock

It'd probably be easier if you just put all of them on there now, and then I have a step-by-step guide for them when I do make my userpage.

Fair enough, no rush. Making sure the wiki was no errors is the number 1 priority

Unfortunately, due to the fact that it doesn't have a lot of information in the GP series I do agree with them. And seeing as I have played neither of those games I can't expand on them :(

I'm now on easter holidays, so I've got more time on my hands. Drop the hints on how to create a decent userpage at any time

That userpage is officially mine, obviously the table will be made larger, I haven't just played 1 Mario game

Oppose unfeaturing
When you oppose in an unfeaturing an article page, you need to add a reason, which can be as simple as per all

RE: Let's Create Your Userpage!!
Don't worry about it. Feels a bit personal, but I'm 16

I own a GBA, 3DS, Wii and Wii U. I had a DS Lite, but I gave it to my sister when her's broke

My biggest regret is being alive for a Gamecube and never pressuring my parents into buying me one :(

Thanks, I might do that one day, I'd quite like to own Luigi's Mansion and Mario Kart: Double Dash

Mario Party always seemed like something I'd enjoy. Thanks for the website hint

Got the previous message, ready for any lessons. You don't have to wait for me to reply so drop hints any time you want

Actually I put that down before yours. We were messaging each other at the same time O_O

That said, I do reply to messages as soon as I see them and I spend a lot of time in recent changes making sure that the wiki doesn't get vandalized

Maybe one day I'll get promoted :D

I'll pass on that, I'm not here to gain money, I'm here to make sure the wiki is improved

Thank you, I will improve it later on so it is still basic, but soon I will make complete my table

When I settle down, I'll make my userbox and give it to you

Thanks, not sure why I never used that before seeing as it's at the top of my talkpage

As of now that page hasn't been made, but I would love to create that page so please don't do it. I plan on either doing it today or tomorrow

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. But I will make that later

It won't be detailed at the start, but I want to be the one to create it

Table is fully complete :D May not have completed many games, but oh well, plenty of time for that

Super Mario 64 DS is a good game, and it has added a few more levels in so it's longer than its original, but seeing as I haven't played the original I don't know whether it's better

My userpage looks complete to me, might add some YouTube videos later of some of my favourite songs

We'll see about that ;)

You make it sound like I'm challenging you to a race or something

Mario Kart is the only racing game where I don't crash in every race

I get lonely. Is it good? Hopefully I'll be getting Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon soon

RE: Blah, Blah, Blah!
Going fine, I just haven't been in the house recently and today I'll be at a mates so, again, I won't be editing much today

Snow hasn't been bad down in England, but it is still unusually cold for Spring

I think the only reason we get so much snow in England is because it always rains over here

It's more of a goatee, but I love it :D

For temperature I use degrees Centigrade, but the internet can easily convert it for me. I shave off my mustache when it gets visible and I have sideburns

Fahrenheit is higher than Centigrade, and in England we measure the temperature with degrees Centigrade

Time is measured the same. We use litres for petrol, some words are spelt differently such as 'colour' and the currency is different

I was just naming the first 3 things that came to mind tbh

I'd say I've improved my userpage quite a bit can't think of anything else in it. Can't be bothered with YouTube videos and images

I think the images and especially the YouTube videos will mess with the perfection I have created

I guess so, but there aren't any YouTube videos that make me go 'Wow! I want that on my userpage'

I'm sure it won't hurt

Well, my userpage has lots of fun facts about me :D

Dies after laptop blows up in face whilst adding pictures on own userpage

You said it wouldn't hurt me, so I jokingly said that it did hurt me

It's a shame that laughter loses some meaning over the internet

It's a tragedy, but at least I can hear people laugh when I tell them my jokes in person

Some British kids play COD. But our 'gangsters' are called chavs and we all drink tea and shout 'Bally Ho!'

Not sure what beats are, but they do cuss a lot. And yes, I did create that Yoshi game page, and I'm currently going through the long process of updating everything

Ours don't bother with headphones, so everyone can listen to their bad music -_-

It's ridiculous, what is the point of having them if you're not going to use them properly?!

True, but they better grow out of it. I couldn't live in a world where the air is filled with the sounds of awful music

The only thing I'm certain of in the future is the career I want

Stand-up comedian

How do you know that? Have you ever told a joke and gotten a laugh from it?

3DS and its games are great, you should get one

I think it would be a good idea, but only do it if you want to

That's very grown-up of you. Ask for it for your birthday

September O_O I was born in January

I would, but it didn't appear in that game. It was 5 different mansions Gloomy Manor, Old Clockworks, Secret Mine, Haunted Towers and Treacherous Manor

Look on my talkpage, the one just before the last one you made is on Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon

It is, but I guess seeing as it is a sequel it needs to keep the original name, in England it's called Luigi's Mansion 2

There were 5 mansions, so I guess that's a lot of coding and they did have a lot of other projects going on

They are one of the biggest game companies in the world

Apparently they started off making card games

Well I went to a comedy gig last Wednesday, and my laptop only started working about an hour ago

Had a great time, although I was the only one of my friends who answered questions when he did them, and yes they are >:(

Mine does it on random days, which can be highly annoying

That must have been fun, my one freezes on random sites, luckily this and Twitter isn't one of them

See you again then sometime

I'm back, I went to sleep

That must be fun, won't be talking much, final day of holidays and still got a lot of work to do

Same here, first day back today

Yes and no, yes because summer holidays and hopefully the summer warmth and no because I'll be sitting my GCSEs which if I mess up on those my entire life is going to need a major rethink

Yeah, they're basically what an employer will look at when we apply for a job

Thanks

You too, by the way I'm just about to do a fairly large edit so I won't be able to talk for a bit

Well, my edit is now done and I'm heading off to my nice, warm bed. So see you around

Finished that thankfully, had started a few days before, but decided to sleep. And today I did some edits on Mario Kart tracks

All the tracks in Mario Kart 7, I added the staff ghost times, there is one called 'Matt. M'

At the moment I think Mario Kart 7 is the best 3DS game, but Luigi's Mansion 2 is close

A gaming magazine I read gave it 92%. And yes I did hear about that

I think Dream Team will be a good game, but I'm more looking forward to Yarn Yoshi and Yoshi's Island (Nintendo 3DS)

I am a huge Yoshi fan, I even have a Yoshi plush. And it's a shame that stuff like that happens, hopefully one day everyone will live in peace

We are, but one can hope for future generations

Good luck with that, I'm about to hopefully tick one of my projects off my list

Especially when it's along one, I remember doing category work for Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 for 8 hours

I wanted to make sure it got done, and I didn't have anything else to do

I didn't think I had too many games in mind when I got mine, but now I have quite a few

Christmas 2011, I wanted the Ice White one, but I got cosmic black

I had a DS Lite, but I gave it to my sister after her DS broke seeing as I had my 3DS

It is a really good game. The Wii U one has been announced for this year

It doesn't feel long since I had 7. But it'll be interesting to see the new one with new elements and characters there will be

As long as it's good, I don't really mind when it's released

With several games coming out soon, I'm going to have big decisions to make.

I feel for you, but the problem with having so many games, like I do, is that you never complete them.

I'd love to get paid to do that, but being paid for comedy is good enough for me.

One of mates is one, he's alright, but I wouldn't recommend him. The one I watch the most is Slimkirby, but I don't know him personally.

I will definitely check some out, and if you don't already I highly recommend subscribing to Slimkirby

I'll make sure I do.

I've just archived my talkpage, so when you reply please start a new section on my current talkpage.

RE: Driver104 & Yoshi876 Chat
I've got to admit, I love the new name.
 * No problem :)
 * I want one, I don't care about the graphics, I want it.
 * I wonder whether he's like that with all consoles.
 * Which would make it so much better if he still reacted like that right in the shop.
 * The public would love him, there would be shirts with NINTENDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SIXTY-FOURRRRRRRRRRRR on them.
 * I'm sure people already do :P.
 * I'm just worried that first people think it's a terrorist O_O
 * If he did he'd need to buy a lot of controllers.
 * That and apparently it messes with the instruments on the plane.
 * And also the fact that you can get blood clots on long-haul flights.
 * SMK - Ghost Valley 2, MK64 - Sherbet Land, MKSC - Sky Garden, MKDD - Dino Dino Jungle, MKDS - Airship Fortress, MKW - Koopa Cape, MK7 - Rainbow Road.
 * The editing is good. SMK - Battle Course 2, MK64 - Big Donut, MKSC - Battle Course 4, MKDD - Tilt-a-Kart, MKDS - Nintendo DS, MKW - Funky Stadium, MK7 - Wuhu Town.
 * It made me chuckle :)
 * It would, I'm currently tracking down my 3DS friend code for some people. Just be warned, I've had a lot of practice and one of the staff ghosts is me ;)
 * I've beaten a few staff on Kart 7, and on Mario Kart Wii I once beat the European record :P
 * Not sure whether I still hold it though.
 * Yeah, it's just a fact of life. Just finished my prom actually.
 * 16 and going to the sixth form, which is basically college.
 * In England, what you would call college we would call university.
 * The coins are alright, I didn't really mind the cups. But I found that versus mode couldn't be done in single player really disappointed, hopefully it's brought back for Mario Kart Wii U.
 * It's bad, but bearable. At least they kept the Grand Prix and Time Trial.
 * See above comment, first sentence ;) Don't worry, I'm good with it.
 * I like it, I was just kidding around.
 * I'm quite good at leading people on. I once made my mate think I was angry at him because he went out with a girl I liked, it took 4 people to convince I was fine. I also once accidently made him think that I'd commited suicide.
 * In my defense I didn't intend for him to think that. And the latter one would actually be believable to all of my mates.
 * As you're my (best) friend, have this.


 * The only worry is, it fits in with my sense of humour :P
 * I didn't design it, but you could copy some of the coding, and for me it's night it's actually 23:18 for when I'm writing this.
 * I wake up early though :P But it gives me more time to do the things I like.
 * My body likes me up early, and I usually eat lunch around the same every day.
 * I skip breakfast most days.
 * I just find breakfast annoying, only recently got back from a day out with my mates.
 * I was just trying to move the conversation on :P
 * I am so looking forward to that, and the Yarn Yoshi stuff they'll be showing.
 * That looks quite interesting, hopefully it is shown off.
 * They'll definitely show off more before its release date.
 * My only worry is that I've subscribed to Nintendo and Gamexplain on YouTube, they'll probably crash my laptop when I load YouTube.
 * signin2012. But I've never uploaded a video, don't have the equipment.
 * I would try and LP some of those games, and probably Pokemon Ranger 2.
 * I wish you luck.
 * Looks good to me.
 * Do you plan on uploading any more images?
 * That's good, I remember making my first page.
 * The remake of Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3.
 * Mostly I do minor things, category work, spelling, reverting edits, but I do do bigish things sometimes.
 * Yep, got that and a userbox tower.
 * Maybe that's how they got the name O_O.
 * Don't worry, I know worse things to say >:)
 * Looks good.
 * Fair enough, tomorrow I plan to watch F1 and revise.
 * Super Mario 64 DS is a great game, I love playing it. And no, F1 is a motorsport.
 * Don't worry, and personally I think I'd prefer DS to the original.
 * I'm so sorry, but I have no idea, maybe an admin might know.
 * My best bet would be on a level page that contained it. If not go onto YouTube find a video of a level that has it, print screen, crop it and then upload it.
 * I'm watching the Nintendo Direct now actually, at the 32 minute mark, would've watched it earlier but the site crashed.
 * I preferred bikes from karts on MK Wii. Anyway I got some new information on Yoshi's New Island including a new boss and enemy, and I made this.
 * Very busy, even busier than normal Nintendo directs. New Smash Bros. though I must have and I will probably play as my new article.
 * I watched the entire Nintendo Direct had most of the games, and then I watched the ones it didn't on GameExplain. Nice to see a new Shy Guy enemy and the old boss battles.
 * I've only played brawl and I loved it. I always played as Yoshi, Kirby or Olimar.
 * No, but the presentation is still ongoing. I follow someone on Twitter and he's there now updating us.
 * Would be nice to see.
 * Probably to help out, and after I sent the previous message they started talking about Mario Kart 8 and the hovering mechanic.
 * I'm hoping it's pulled off well, as it looks very interesting.
 * You'll do fine, and it'll take a bit to beat 7's Rainbow Road :)
 * I'm probably going to get lost on it :S
 * Who knows, time will tell, it always does. And does this mean I can get your userbox, like you have mine?
 * Thanks, and did you hear? The Wii Fit trainer is playable in the new brawl O_O
 * I think it's the woman.
 * You to make an account for that don't you?
 * Just logged on to chat and everything, see you later.
 * I'll see you when I see you then.

Userspace
I was maybe too rough on you with the userspace thing, but more than 50 percent of your edits are uerspace. And about the new user thing, I'm sure you will do an awesome job with the articles you know about, new user or not. Beleive me, when I was a new user I did horrible edits! The more mainspace edits you make, the more experience you will gain! Keep up the mainspace and good luck!

Thanks for the kind words!

Yeah, but I now consider anybody who knows me as a friend, so there's no real point in that to me.

There is'nt, but the world articles cover all the levels in each world for quick navigation. Personally, I would'nt create one because I've never seen an article based off of "List of levels in this and this game", and the world articles do a pretty decent job with that.

If it's challenges, I think that would be pottentially useful, even if there is atemplate for that. If there's a list of letters in Paper Mario article, then this one can be created too, but you better ask an admin first.

You don't need to ask one, just I'd advise you to ask one. Just leave a comment on their talk page to get their attention.

Probably this guy, but any other admin is just as good.

I'd say to download an emulator for the game you want to upload a picture on, go to Moonview Highway, and then make a picture of it with the emulator. Every emulator I had so far has that option. An alternative way is to just take a picture from your camera yourself of the racetrack, then upload it here. You could also search up google images for a good picture. Hope I helped :)

That I don't know, though I'm almost certain there are'nt any copyright issues with that.

I guess so.

Hey
Man, I just feel like I know you from somewhere. Just out of curiosity, are you a member at the Mario Kart forums? I just have this feeling I have talked to you there. --- 16:53, 28 May 2013 (EDT)
 * Ah, okay then. I asked because there is a user with a very similar name to yours there. --- 17:01, 28 May 2013 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I see. I thought you changed the username to match the name on the forums, but you're not that user, so nevermind, lol. Then again, you seem to be a huge Mario Kart fan like me, so I really thought you were a member at the forums. Sorry again. --- 17:08, 28 May 2013 (EDT)


 * Yep. You should definitely think about joining the forums I mentioned; I'm pretty sure you'd love that place. --- 17:21, 28 May 2013 (EDT)

Despite that the course image on its article page are attached, it has higher resolution than the one you uploaded. -- L    151   18:46, 7 June 2013 (EDT)

The image is fine but be better as png.

If the quality is decent, yes. -- L    151   12:44, 8 June 2013 (EDT)

RE: Hands-on footage of new Nintendo games at E3 2013
That's weird, I just finished watching them :P
 * And now I'm watching the next set which includes Yoshi :D
 * Seen that one as well, thought she'd be really bad when I first heard of her.
 * I am Villager all the way, the way he attacks will open a lot of combos. I think I played Mario Party 8, and I haven't used my 3DS since my exams started.
 * I can't remember what board we did on Mario Party 8, I think it the DK one.
 * That'd be the one I'm thinking of.
 * I'm not buying MiracleGrow no matter how well you advertise it ;)
 * I was continuing said joke by refusing to buy the aforementioned product, and no problem it's a great purchase.
 * As well as the other Mario games shown at E3.
 * The second, first sounds too happy to be creepy.
 * I find it slightly catchy, the old Luigi's Mansion theme was a bit creepy, especially with the choir.


 * I've never heard it, but I will be watching KoopaKungFu's Luigi's Mansion LP on YouTube after I finish the Dark Moon and New Super Mario Bros. U one. I was so scared that I couldn't get on, cause I typed in my password over 20 times and I finally got in after 5 minutes of horror! And remember that pink mushroom nonsense? Guess what I found in World 6-3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)!


 * I see you erased all the YouTube links. By the way, do you know how to make another archive? Mines getting full. MarioKartManiac (talk)

New stub
It's a customary thing. If a new article doesn't meet the required standards, it gets a new stub template tacked onto it. You have a week to finish the article up before anything else happens to it, so don't worry about it.
 * A "stub" is any article that's lacking information. If your article has a respectable amount of content, then there's no need for a stub template to be placed on it. For now, though, it's best to keep the template on there. Also, use colons (:) to indent comments, not asterisks (*).
 * Well, the main problem with your article is that it doesn't even have a listed objective. Once it's on par with the articles around it, the stub template can be removed, though they are rather lacking in information... They should be more similar to articles like World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.) but for now, don't worry about any of that. Just get Mini Mountaineer up to the same level as Time Attack Trial and you should be good. Also, you can double-indent, triple-indent, and so on by using more than one colon.
 * You can remove it yourself, if you'd like. I may have been the one to place the template there, but I don't have to be the one to remove it. If someone believes that a template isn't necessary (stub, rewrite, more images, whatever), they have all the right to remove it.
