Category talk:Cosmic areas

Aren't Bowser Jr.'s Robot Reactor and Bowser's Galaxy Reactor missing from this list...? 18:48, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Change name to "Cosmic Locations"
The Outer Space is, as its name indicates, the vacuum expanse outside of and between any object in the universe. In this sense, the Moon Kingdom and the SMG galaxies should not be more suitable to fit in such a category than the Mushroom Kingdom, Donkey Kong Island, and really any other place in any game because they too are, at the end of the day, considered to be floating in space, so long as the common understanding of "universe" applies to the Mario games. In addition, I'm not sure one can define a "location" within an area of physical nothing, because the wiki's understanding of location is purely gameplay-related and refers to a unique area characterized by its own marks and traits (e.g. Shiver Mountain, Rogueport Sewers). Calling a chosen part of nothingness a "region" would be more scientifically correct. Anyway, the term "Outer Space Location" is both improper for most areas listed in the category and also kind of self-contradicting.

Therefore, I propose changing "Outer Space" to "Cosmic", which refers to something otherworldly, foreign, outside the main habitable planet. Heck, "spacey" if you will.

 * 1) per proposal
 * 2) Yeah, "outer space" is a bit too explicit... Take Cosmic Adventure, for example. This particular attraction is defined to be in Mini-Land despite its "outer space" backdrop. It gets even more ambiguous with World 9 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii), the first two World Stars, Superstar Road, and even Orbiting Observatory and Gravity Galaxy. Per Super Radio.

On another note, are Star World from SMW and Above the Clouds from Wario Land 3 really cosmic locations? -- 10:50, 11 March 2018 (EDT)
