 https://i.imgur.com/QcmSGsD.gif Policy on projects I don't mind if you help participate in any my projects without contacting me first as long as you're not actively edit-sniping me as I write articles or add uploaded images to tables as I'm uploading them, because this creates edit conflicts and makes it even harder for me to save edits on articles I'm working on. However, it's generally still polite to ask first if it's ok to assist in my projects. The answer will be yes unless otherwise stated. I just don't want anyone edit-snipe police for me should someone else create articles out of red links that I was planning to create or create tables of items that I was about to create. Any help is very appreciated.

Badges
(It's gonna take a bit to get used to your new name on the wiki.)

The non-Mario badges you uploaded by mistake, think you can find a place for them and remainders on other wikis? 01:18, September 15, 2020 (EDT)
 * Oh absolutely but the problem is, there's a whole lot of them and I don't have accounts on other wikis, aside from Nookipedia and WiKirby, and both of them are inactive. I'm not sure if I'll ever get around uploading them for other Nintendo series. 03:59, September 15, 2020 (EDT)
 * Nookipedia and WiKirby are actually very active. But that's fine, if you'd like to put them in a Dropbox or something, I can upload them at some point :) 12:23, September 15, 2020 (EDT)
 * "They" refers to my accounts there. Anyway, I've uploaded the zip to my Google Drive. Enjoy. 16:17, September 15, 2020 (EDT)

Super Mario Galaxy 2 not included in SM3DAS
Why shouldn't we mention that SMG2 isn't included? If it's going to be removed, at least give a better reason than just "unnecessary because it is not the best way to describe why.--TheGreenBeetle (talk) 12:45, September 19, 2020 (EDT)
 * The first sentence of the article actively tells readers what's in the game, as I feel like that's good enough information to inform readers of what the game pack contains. Making statements that omit games as a negative space tend to carry redundant bloat in the article that comprises the brevity of the statement. 13:04, September 19, 2020 (EDT)
 * Ok. I guess that makes sense.--TheGreenBeetle (talk) 14:49, September 19, 2020 (EDT)

I see...
So, are you trying to raise Super Mario Kart to featured status now? 23:58, September 19, 2020 (EDT)
 * Yeah I am. 00:03, September 20, 2020 (EDT)

I am thinking Dr. Mario World animations...
If you can try to get more Dr. Mario World model animations could you do the rest of the losing animations and win animations and more for the gallery? I know you told me last time, but I have been checking all day. I split the models into a gallery of the models, so people could find them easier there instead of waiting in the other gallery. 11:29, September 20, 2020 (EDT)
 * As you can see by my rather delayed response, I am quite busy right now writing up articles and what not. I'll try to get to them eventually. 09:50, September 21, 2020 (EDT)
 * I understand, but I wish I had an Android to do what you told last time but I am afraid I don't have one, I have an iPhone X (Apple). But I wait for you making them soon. 03:05, September 21, 2020 (EDT)
 * I'll resume again today. I'll try getting the idle animation for Dr. Blooper at least. 17:25, September 21, 2020 (EDT)
 * Don't forget the last losing animations, all win animations, more skill animations, and the idle animations for Dr. Boo, Dr. King Boo, and Dr. Morton. OK? 09:26, October 4, 2020 (EDT)

A simple question
One thing you may or may have not noticed recently, is that I have been uploading many image/gifs from the PC/MS-DOS versions of Mario is Missing, Mario's Time Machine, and Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters. Part of why I have been doing that is because all of the games I just mentioned, I own on CD-ROM. I play them on DOSBox, take screenshots of them, and then remove the backgrounds to rip the sprites. Are there any particular sprites from Mario is Missing, Mario's Time Machine, and Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters that you would like ripped? Also, other than taking screenshots and then removing the backgrounds, is there any other way to rip sprites from those games? 3:52, 21 September 2020 (EST)
 * 'Allo. I haven't really played the games but I think you should rip...well every named object in the game, from characters to Mushrooms to Blocks. I think it would be so great to have expanded coverage on the edutainment games on the wiki in general so images are a great place to start. Maybe one day they'll be featured articles lol. 17:24, September 21, 2020 (EDT)

I have just finished playing through all of the CD-ROM version of Mario is Missing for the third time, so prepare for me to nuke the wiki with images and gifs from that game. Like this Bowser. 4:49, 27 September 2020 (EST)
 * You are an unsung hero of MarioWiki. 16:59, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

For uploading that gif, among others? 5:05, 27 September 2020 (EST)
 * We need more Mario Edutainment title coverage, period, and includes uploading the Very Best Mario Sprites. 17:14, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

Like this: 5:26, 27 September 2020 (EST)
 * The best Bowser sprites. 17:29, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

Which one of those overweight turtles is your favorite? Also, here are some more. 5:45, 27 September 2020 (EST)
 * The profile one that shows how ineptly his shell is drawn is the best. But I also like the derpy talking Bowser too. 17:54, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

The funny part about that, is that because the PC version of Mario is Missing was the first Mario game I ever played, as well as being my introduction to the franchise, I used to think that was how Bowser's shell was meant to be, and because of that, I thought all the other sprites of Bowser were the off-model ones. Anyway, Iggy Koopa is here with all of his clones. 6:18, 27 September 2020 (EST)
 * Oh really? Lmao, you started off on the right foot for Mario franchise entry lmao. Also, Icky Iggy is a great nickname for Iggy that I wish was used in official games. 18:26, September 27, 2020 (EDT)

I still have the CD-ROM that I first played the game off of all those years ago. It still works too, and is what I played the game on to screenshot the sprites. After I played Mario is Missing, I then moved on to the PC version of Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters, and after that, I played Mario's Time Machine on PC before moving over to the mainline games. Here are some more sprites from the PC release of Mario's Early Years: Fun With Letters, and the PC version of Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun, as well as the PC version of Mario's Time Machine. All of those Ludwig sprites were from the PC version of Mario's Time Machine. They were not used in-game, but they were a bitmap file on the CD-ROM called "MUSEUM/LUDW.BMP". I found them on accident while poking around on the CD-ROM, so I decided to make them into gifs. 7:54, 27 September 2020 (EST) So, do you think those Ludwig sprites should have been used in the PC version of Mario's Time Machine, or do you think that it's a good thing they are unused? Also, what do you think those Ludwig sprites were going to be used for? 7:02, 28 September 2020 (EST)

We need your help. ^^
Hi, I'm a Big Fan of Dr. Mario World and I see than we still miss a couples of Doctors Animations as GIF. Would you accept to help us too added the rest of the bunch, specially the winning animations that would be very nice to have to. I know you are very busy, so I know it will take you a lot of effort to get back on this, but the good new is they doesn't give us New Doctors and New Assistants for this Month, so that mean Dr. Mario World is about to eventually close and we want to bring every beautiful things of this game they give us, before they shutdown the servers forever.

Long life to Dr. Baby Luigi and eventually Dr. Birdo, I hope! :P

Just for you know, I'm not very connected to MarioWiki.com, so if you want to contact me directly on dominicouimet@hotmail.com I will answer you as soon as I see your message and I check them almost everyday. ^^

About sandbox
If a user wants to experiment, they should use their sandbox, not the main sandbox. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 15:27, December 4, 2020 (EST)
 * That's exactly what the main sandbox is for. Nonautoconfirmed users can't even make their own user pages yet, and users entirely new to wiki editing can gravitate towards that page, that's exactly what I did when I first created my account here. 16:26, December 4, 2020 (EST)
 * Oh, sorry. I'm sorry for being harsh about it. Nonetheless, going another direction, saying "Hello world" is considered chatting, I prefer if that user should put that on Discord. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:29, December 4, 2020 (EST)
 * " is a common new programming quirk. What the user did is ultimately harmless. 16:31, December 4, 2020 (EST)
 * Oh, sorry again. I feel like I took vandalism too seriously Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:33, December 4, 2020 (EST)
 * It's fine, not a big deal. The message will likely get removed down the line regardless anyway. 16:34, December 4, 2020 (EST)
 * You're so good. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:38, December 4, 2020 (EST)

IP vandalism
Can't help but see that as a self-confession on their part, haha Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:56, December 5, 2020 (EST)

Wario congratulates you!


Wario has heard that you became a patroller, so he came here personally to congratulate you! What? You’re saying that it was already celebrated like two weeks ago? And that you’ve set up a Wario killing device that’ll kill- *BOOM* ...and there he goes.

Anyway, congratulations and have a very Merry Christmas, and a (hopefully) good 2021.

From the mightiest Mario around -
 * Oh my god, did he welcome me to his World for the umpteenth time already? 18:16, December 6, 2020 (EST)

 * Clean them up, God. They smell even worse than before. 18:40, December 6, 2020 (EST)
 * Why? It shows that Baby Luigi is not to be messed with. Personally, I like the smell.

Have no fear, for the Yellow Baron is here!


-Wah! Wario has flown over to drop off a package of good intentions. Inside the package is a coupon for a Wario free day! Wait a second... this coupon is expired! That rascal, always fooling us.

Completely unrelated, I feel like I have matured here on the wiki, don’t you think? Like I went from creating a fake page (which I got blocked for) to being a somewhat active part the community.
 * Sure thing! You've certainly gotten better at learning the ropes in the wiki. But it's an ongoing process! Always improve, and treat your mistakes as part of your growth as a person. If you want an example of such, look no further than our talk page archives. We were, well, er, quite different 10 years ago when we were around your age. I'm still a bit embarrassed by myself at points but I've overall accepted whom I was in the past, and I do hope it becomes a learning and growth opportunity to well, reflect on yourself and make sure you don't feel bad about yourself in the end. 19:37, December 12, 2020 (EST)
 * Thank you for the kind message, LGM! (also I have a nickname, it’s Mighty)
 * All right, Mighty! Use your mop for good! This wiki does have a lot of mess here and there, so either clean it up or talk about how to approach them if you're not sure. 20:02, December 12, 2020 (EST)

First of all, thx for rewriting my page on the jumping boots! It looks much better now. I have a few questions, mainly: what are categories and navtempelates, and how do I upload images to the wiki?

Calling something "symbolic" is hardly a radical statement of opinion. It is obviously symbolic if two long-time rival companies start using each others' characters for the first time. An opinionated, non-subjective word would be calling the moment something like "important" or "positive." Nevertheless, I deleted the word. I am prepared to continue trying to improve this article, barring a better explanation of why trying to make the quality of the writing better is somehow wrong. (Goombagumba (talk) 09:15, February 13, 2021 (EST))

Regarding the warning, to be fair, the last thing he undid was his own edit. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:27, February 13, 2021 (EST)
 * Yeah, but I've noticed that he had undid your edit before even addressing my informal reminder on the talk page that I had sent before then, and that was before him undoing Keyblade Master's edit. He should have brought it up in talk page rather than continuously attempt to put his revision back onto the page after he had been given an informal reminder for it. 15:31, February 13, 2021 (EST)

Fan-made or official
Hi, do you know if this image is official artwork or fanart? I just think if it was official, it would have been uploaded before, and it was uploaded by a user who joined earlier today. 15:17, February 18, 2021 (EST)
 * Hello. Reverse Google Searching the image leads to results from fandom. The Wikia counterpart that was uploaded this file in question has been marked for deletion as unofficial artwork. In addition, the artwork has existed before Bowser's Fury's inception, appearing in a thumbnail for a mod video that was uploaded in 2018 and this image uploaded on fantendo dates to 2018. Signs indeed point to this artwork being fan-made. 17:01, February 18, 2021 (EST)

Unknown character
Quick question: In the List of Yoshi's New Island Message Block hints article that you just created, why did you input a into hint #35? I'm just wondering because I'm not sure what that PUA is supposed to represent. 18:32, March 4, 2021 (EST)
 * In the MSBT file, the strange character is supposed to represent a graphic to use (like the binoculars entry), but since I don't quite remember what the message is referring to, I just left it blank. I did recall encountering that message but I don't know what level it is found in. 18:37, March 4, 2021 (EST)

"Discussion is required"
Actually, when the only official name known (or in this case, properly cited) in a name in another language, per Naming we always use an official non-English name over a conjectural name. Unless the Swim Ring Goombas have been officially and specifically named Goombas in English, then we wuold use the official JPN name. 15:54, March 5, 2021 (EST)
 * I'm not sure how they are named in-game, it just seemed fishy that the IP (who was ban-evading) insisted that it's the official name "despite what the masses say". 15:58, March 5, 2021 (EST)

Mrs. Thwomp
While it would seem unlikely, I want to point out the character difference in question is the same that differentiates Goomba and Galoomba, and considering 3DW brought Galoombas themselves back (among other things), it is possible that they based the new enemy off an obscure thing from years before. Also, not only "just boulders," similar small-armed-Geodude-esque body stucture. Basically, I feel the similar name needs mentioned somewhere, at least in the Niol box. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:57, June 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * Feel free to mention it somewhere then. It's just that trivia points like those make me a bit leery, but further clarification would be appreciated. 15:59, June 1, 2021 (EDT)

Super Mario Land FA Nomination Removal of Oppose
@Ray Trace You said you could help with the admin required part of Removal of Opposes in the 3D World + Bowser’s Fury nomination. Is there any way you can help pass the removal of oppose for Archivist Toadette’s vote on the Super Mario Land FA nomination? TasteTheFiresOfHelp (talk), 15:42, June 22, 2021 (EST)
 * Well, once the requirements are met, you can remove it yourself. I've done it for you, but the part I helped out with was me voting in agreement to remove the oppose vote. 16:28, June 22, 2021 (EDT)
 * That's fair, it's just that you're a patroller not an admin., 17:36, June 22, 2021 (EST)
 * Patrollers are admins. I have access to the admin boards on the forums, the sysops gmail, and on the Discord. Sometimes the definitions get a bit muddled but the rule is referring to "administrators" as "wiki staff". That rule should get a rewrite so it's more clear. 17:51, June 22, 2021 (EDT)

Re:Lifts
Well, what we've been doing so far is use the name from the Japanese Enyclopedia if there's nothing else readily available, though the rotating lift in question is actually the "Swing Lift"; if you look on page 69 of English Encyclopedia, you can see that they refer to the rotating lifts and rail lifts as swinging platform and rail platform, and the former groups the brown Single Swing Lift and grey Triple Swing Lift together (the latter should be Pulley Lift).

Fire Flower
Hi, I'm the user who nominated the Fire Flower article. In your comment, you told me that Yoshi Touch & Go and Mario Sports Superstars both have cameos of the Fire Flower. But I'm not sure where they are. Can you please help? Also, thanks for your advice, it helped me a lot. 05:43, September 17, 2021 (EDT)
 * Hello. Mario Sports Superstars has a gear appearance of a Fire Flower; they're basically purchasable aesthetic changes for equipment when you buy a card off the shop. They are also unlocked when you scan amiibo cards in. Mario is the one that uses a Fire Flower for his gear. It's also the icon for Flower Cup. As for Yoshi Touch & Go, both the modern and 8-bit incarnation of them appears as a ranking icon to pick when a high score is achieved. 14:07, September 17, 2021 (EDT)

Thanks! You are very nice! 21:56, September 17, 2021 (EDT)
 * Welcome! I'm always here to help when it comes to FAs. :) 23:09, September 17, 2021 (EDT)

Everything you noted should probably be done now. Is there anything else and is there anything I forgot to do? 02:38, September 18, 2021 (EDT)
 * I'll need to check but I remember reading some parts of your writing that needs polishing, like the new Mario Party series section. Also, I don't think you've researched specific levels in some modern platformers that Fire Flowers specifically appeared in. 14:48, September 18, 2021 (EDT)
 * I forgot to ask you some stuff. First, did you find any other problems? Two, I'm not actually too sure about the meaning of specific levels in some modern platformers that Fire Flowers specifically appeared in, so I just noted some of the interesting interactions. 22:16, October 21, 2021 (EDT)
 * I'm really sorry if I sound rude or impatient, but it's been several days since I asked you the question, and the nomination will end soon. 21:02, November 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * Fire Flowers can use specific level appearances. Ie Fire Flowers appear in like, World 1-5, or whatever, there are certain levels where they are the main power-up of the level. 21:25, November 1, 2021 (EDT)

Oh, so that is the meaning. Thanks for your help! Also, I hope I'm not bothering or annoying you with my questions, as I may continue asking you questions. 21:34, November 1, 2021 (EDT)
 * Well that's sorta my job on MarioWiki, so ask away. :P 22:22, November 1, 2021 (EDT)

Moving Trick
Hey

So I'm not exactly sure how to move an article to a name that's already being used as a redirect. It's been ages since I moved any article to a new name so I'm wondering if I could get some instructions on how I'd go about doing this. Or maybe get someone with more know-how to do it.
 * Tag "Jump Boost" for deletion, then move Trick to it. 17:46, October 8, 2021 (EDT)
 * Thanks. I've tagged the page.

Thanks!
Thanks for welcoming me into the family! —-OhoJeeOnFire (talk) 13:19, October 12, 2021 (EDT)

Mario is Missing Monty Mole
Hey uh, could you upload the sprite for Monty Mole in Mario is Missing? Also, do you know where Monty Mole is in Mario Party 4? MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 01:57, October 31, 2021 (EDT)
 * I don't own Mario is Missing (and there's two versions of it, DOS and SNES). As for Mario Party 4, I don't think Monty Mole's even in that game despite what the game's bio says, they probably mistook it for another game or something, or the devs didn't realize the gap of non appearance from 4. 03:30, October 31, 2021 (EDT)

Re:Your talk page
Well, I currently don’t have internet so I will fix it once it’s fixed.

Critically important news
It is with the utmost grief that I have to inform you of this fateful incident: since the editors weren't quick enough to write about your more than well deserved promotion on this page, noticing the color of your role now being similar to that of his hide Yoshi sneaked in to congratulate and express his happiness about your new position on the wiki.



We'll make sure to keep you at an adequate distance from said gross and horrific creature in the future, alas at the moment the only practicable measure is joining his rather informal celebration of your promotion, apologizing for the inconvenience.--Mister Wu (talk) 14:04, November 28, 2021 (EST)
 * Just put it in a pit of toothpicks and it'll be fine!!!!!! 15:51, November 28, 2021 (EST)
 * Sadly, all the toothpicks were brought away by a little turtle nicknamed Jr. to make "the pits of the next autoscrolling level", now I don't know what that means but it sounds eerily evil. In any case, what looks like the dog pet of Yoshi came in the meantime and brought him in a cave filled with lava... I'm not positive the two know what they're doing but I guess that will work for now, plus another green-loving fellow came to compliment you for your position (and its color):

 * I hope you'll find his celebration more palatable.--Mister Wu (talk) 17:49, November 28, 2021 (EST)

18:47, November 28, 2021 (EST)
 * My friends and I congratulate you on your promotion. Excellent job!

Quick!

 * Just drop the Warios in a pit or something. 03:29, December 2, 2021 (EST)

3DS Emulator Screenshots
So is it cool to use 3DS screenshots that are 10x native from what you said? MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 19:26, December 4, 2021 (EST)
 * It's fine to do it, but it's generally not preferred. If there is a screenshot in emulated native resolution, don't replace it. 19:27, December 4, 2021 (EST)

Green Super Koopa sprite
The sprite you uploaded is not the one used in the original Super Mario World. In that game, green Super Koopas have red capes. The ones with yellow capes appear only in a cutscene in Super Mario Advance 2. Please replace it with the correct sprite. Platform (talk) 07:27, December 11, 2021 (EST)
 * Hello. I have replaced the sprite, but for future reference, if there is an accuracy issue with a sprite, please replace it yourself than demand others to do it for you, even if I was the original uploader, the request was not necessary. 22:02, December 13, 2021 (EST)

Toad's talk page
Hi, could you protect Talk:Toad/Archive 1? I forgot to notify an administrator about protecting this. 22:57, December 13, 2021 (EST)
 * Done. Thank you. 22:58, December 13, 2021 (EST)

hi
First of all, I want to give a big thank you to you and others for supporting my proposal, much appreciated. I saw you said you're up for cutting ties to ZW altogether, and this surprise me because you're a patroller (i.e. a staff member). Are you allowed to say that? I also want the interwikis changed, and I like how you said the proposal is a good start toward that (and it was brave of you to speak out about it), but a direct proposal on that... there would need to be some solid justification for doing that (though I think ZW on Fandom for 3 years is already a reason for that). Seeing as we're in NIWA, ZW would inevitably take priority.

Reminds of something slightly related: I have been working on various wikis over the past few years, some examples including Banjo, Conker, Crash, Spyro, Zelda, Final Fantasy, and so forth. Me and a few other editors, who I'm very grateful for all of their help. They're all part of a link exchange named Gaming Wiki Network. To me the examples I listed have comparable aspects to Mario in some way or another. I realized that all this time I was more concerned about Mario Wiki than NIWA (re: Zelda situation, that is). Of course, since I can't do anything about it, I decided to build up link exchange of wikis in the style of Mario Wiki, at least in some way or another (aside from the affiliates). It's ironic that Zelda Wiki was the original founder of NIWA (they went to Bulbapedia & then both went to Mario Wiki) yet they were the first to sell out & haven't made any plan in the past few years, even if they have ZD Wiki and Triforce Wiki as alternative options. A really big thing. Kirby is doing well on WiKirby, Star Fox is doing good on Lylat Wiki. The current biggest issue is Metroid, although I have barely played it and don't have much knowledge regarding it.

Nintendo (general), SSB, and Pokemon wikis in style of Mario Wiki (with a bit of classic 00s Wikia taste to reflect them being hosted on Miraheze) are three sideprojects that I've started very recently, and I've been keeping them separate from Gaming Wiki Network, as they're more personal endeavors (and Triforce Wiki being hosted by Grifkuba, although it was not met with much backlash afaik, still was a big move of them). Even if this is very uphill, I am very willing to play the long game and have long-term goals. I love wiki editing, and the Mario Wiki format has proven to work on several different wikis, and I'd like to see it in action on Nintendo, SSB, and Pokemon-style wikis.

This is more a discussion that one would have in DMs or on Discord, but what I typed above is relatively common knowledge at this point & your talk page is the only way I could contact you about this. Results May Vary (talk) 21:56, January 2, 2022 (EST)
 * Eh, I'm allowed to say any personal opinions, staff member or not, I don't think I should be castigated for expressing my views openly. I don't make it a secret either that I despise what ZeldaWiki does and I don't think anyone should be silenced simply because of that. However, I'd say it's how you express those opinions that matters, timing and wording is everything, so I think when I expressed my disdain towards the whole direction ZeldaWiki took, it was appropriate. I know that giant overhauls won't happen, hence why we wouldn't cut ties with ZeldaWiki any time soon, but small, gradual steps such as acknowledging the presence of other wikis is a good start in making sure ZeldaWiki becomes redundant AND a worse place for Zelda information so we naturally adapt to the fledgling wikis while removing the old. I don't think I can help out further than MarioWiki, however. I did lend small hand to Nookipedia and WiKirby but neither wiki kept my interest for that long, so I apologize if I can't help out Zelda, a series I'm even less knowledgeable and passionate about than these two. 20:29, January 4, 2022 (EST)

What are YOU doing to make this year a Wario-free year?
Last year was AWFUL for Wario. Which means it was AWESOME (aweEMPTY???!) for Mario and friends (and NOT Wario). What's your plans to making this year as rotten for Wario as last year? And will it involve more killing? 01:44, January 14, 2022 (EST)

Due to your procrastination for a response, you've received a Wario of the day. . Keep this up and you'll get even more free Warios! Shipping included! 02:08, January 20, 2022 (EST)
