Talk:Super Mario Bros. (film)

Dinosaur People
I couldn't think of where else to put this, but does anyone else think the the dinosaur people from the movie should get an article? Of course, if one is made, theres still the problem of thinking of a name. -- Sir Grodus


 * I think they deserve an article....No clue bout the name though.
 * Reptilian humans? 20:11, 5 January 2008 (EST)

Entire Script
Are we actually putting the entire script of the movie up on the wiki? That sounds kind of nuts. Shouldn't we just put the best quotes or something? Kayube 13:45, 4 January 2008 (EST)
 * You better believe it! I am nuts, by the way.  Actually, having an injured knee gives you tons of free time.  We'll see how long this lasts.  You can help out if you want, though...  18:04, 4 January 2008 (EST)
 * It does seem sort of... pointless to have the entire transcript of the movie if we're going to have a plot synopsis. -- Sir Grodus 19:54, 5 January 2008 (EST)
 * Tell you what, how about we move the transcript to a sub-page of my userspace, and when I complete it, I can move it back here? 20:10, 5 January 2008 (EST)
 * No. How about you find a transcript online, and link to it at the end of the article. That is way too much unnecessary space, Stumpers. Find the best quotes in there, please, but not the whole thing. 21:37, 5 January 2008 (EST)
 * Wow. It's like you guys just negligated four hours of my life.  Do you know anywhere else I could host this?  22:23, 5 January 2008 (EST)
 * I think it is fine if you make the script one of your userpages, but don't stick that info into this article. 14:52, 7 January 2008 (EST)
 * How about Super Mario Bros. (Movie) Script as a seperate article. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back! http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif
 * Nothing is lost. If you need the text you added, you can view it in the history. - 16:48, 7 January 2008 (EST)
 * Is anyone else okay with the script thing? 19:09, 7 January 2008 (EST)

To PJ: No, we shouldn't create a separate article for the script either. If we did that, we'd have to be consistent and make script articles for other movies and that would be overkill. 22:48, 9 January 2008 (EST)
 * I guess we are an encyclopedia... so we don't have to recreate what we write about. I don't know why I started that.  Oh, and don't forget we'd need to be doing the Super Show! and other TV shows if we did this.  00:18, 10 January 2008 (EST)

Super Mario Bros. (film)
I know it's Wikipedia policy to use "(film)" in the titles of articles rather than "(movie)" when it is needed. Please don't tell me that we're not Wikipedia again... I know that. BUT, it would be more professional in my opinion to use the "(film)" disambiguation. Does anyone oppose the move? 22:46, 21 February 2008 (EST)

Larger Plot Synopsis
Hey, I'm going to edit a new plot synopsis into the article. Feel free to delete it if you feel it's not good enough. --Cheep-Cheep 14:22, 26 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Yeah, we need to say how event happened in the movie, not how they happened in chronological order. That information is for the future Alternate Dimension page, which is coming, I think.  Anyway, I'll be moving that big chunk I wrote there later.  15:03, 26 May 2008 (EDT)

Perhaps the synopsis should be divided into sub-sections for the individual acts, seeing as it's so large. I've seen it done that way on other Wikis, like this one. - 02:33, 18 January 2009 (EST)
 * I was planning on doing that when I grabbed some pictures to go along with it. I haven't ruled out giving it a separate article, though.  00:22, 19 January 2009 (EST)
 * I think it would be better to keep the synopsis here: none of the other plots are seperated from the rest of their articles (as far as I know), so doing that here would seem aberrant in comparison to the apparent Wiki policy. Yes it'll result in a long article, but the plot of Super Paper Mario is pretty massive, and the main characters' pages are even larger, so I don't think that's a hot-button issue we'll have to worry about here. As long as it's divided into smaller sections with pictures to break up the text blocks, it won't seem so daunting for people to read and edit (though that would be an issue regardless of whether or not the synopsis gets its own page). Plus, having it all in one place is simpler. - 23:00, 19 January 2009 (EST)


 * I agree. Long articles are really of no concern (check out Wookiepedia's articles - they are massive, but so interesting). --

NC link
I think we should put a link to the Nostalgia Critic review of this movie. It's funny, gives a synopsis (a rather brief and lacking full plot review) and Wikipedia features NC links. I don't want to put it up before a Sysop or superior gives me the thumbs up.
 * I have no problem with the link itself, but I find weird you removed the Screw Attack link on the Hotel Mario article, and yet you want the NC to be linked. --Blitzwing 15:28, 11 November 2008 (EST)

Well, I guess I'd be a hypocrite that way, so don't put the link up.
