Talk:Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)

Where was this confirmed? Seems fan made.

The Mushroom Kingdom and Wikipedia. -- Sir Grodus


 * Look at these places, not that I believe it myself...

Oh.

...Not the best Mario game coming, that's for sure. 15:49, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

WTF!? 16:46, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

It quite obviously oozes "gimmick". 16:48, 28 March 2007 (EDT)

I say that it is not a hoax. There's just too much information. I love Kingdom Hearts, so I'm kind of disappointed about this, but EGM put an article about Mushroom Kingdom Hearts. Keys are that it lacked information, Sora's artwork was copied from Kingdom Hearts II, and Mario's artwork was his Super Mario Sunshine artwork edited. This, however, has playable characters, release dates, directors, and an official website. Also, this wasn't announced via EGM ;)


 * And as I added in the article - It has a ®, which you don't add to a fake game! --Bentendo 17:15, 29 March 2007 (EDT)

Aw man. THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD! Not wuite.. but close. Man... Mario's totally crossing over every franchise! EEEK! MARIO KINGDOM HEARTS? *faints*

Miyamoto is waiting his time and spoiling the Mario franchise, IMO. But I'd be happy to eat my words... it's still too early to tell what's what on this game. I really hated how Sega decided to work with Nintendo on this instead of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. --Stumpers, the Stumpinator
 * ...I am left without words. I am amazed. This game looks like the April Fools of the year!


 * Wario and Big Cat BETTER be in this! -- 13:05, 2 April 2007 (EDT)

Character Types
Are those Character Types accurate, or just fan speculation?

They are accurate, or so I believe, as they have been confirmed through an official fact sheet.

OK. You never know, there Character Types might change in the final version.

They are oficial

Daisy
 Take a look at this. Daisy's symbol can be seen on a flag. Does this mean she is in it? P.S. A Purple Flag and a Black Flag (Shaped like Shadow's head) can also be seen. Does this mean Waluigi and Shadow are in it as well? On closer look, the Purple Flag might be Big the Cat's, but I might be wrong.

For all we know, she may be a referee like Cream. But, it's possible... just don't add it. WAY to speculative. But make note of the flag for now.

Possible Redirects?
I think we need some redirects for this page.
 * 1) Mario & Sonic (for people that are too lazy to type the full title)
 * 2) Mario & Sonic at the Olympics (for people that mistake the title, like I did just now)

Okay idea, Eh! Steve? --User:Dodoman
 * The first one was already done, I did the second one, and, why couldn't you do it yourself?
 * Uh... I don't know how.


 * OK, this is how:

1# Type in what you want the Redirect to be, in this case, Mario & Sonic. 2# Then, type this when you are creating the page: #REDIRECT Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

This will redirect it to the given article, in this case, Mario & Sonic will redirect to Mario & Sonic at the Olypmic Games. Hope this was helpful

Sonic Template
If there are going to be about 10 Sonic characters, I say we should make a template for them, instead of adding them to the 3rd party template, which is (quickly) crowding up. Comments?
 * I don't think so. There are a lot of cross-over games here and upcoming, and if we had a template for each of the Final Fantasy characters in Mario Hoops, the Dragon Quest characters in Itadaki Street DS, and so on, there would be few to stay on the 3rd party template, and it somehow exceeds the range of templates for the third importance category. In my opinion that is. - 17:13, 11 August 2007 (EDT)

I mean, not like the FF characters, as there are only like 5. I mean like this, where there are a huge amount.
 * Currently, I only count five Sonic characters as well. Anyway, what you could do is a template for all characters in Mario & Sonic, when they get much, like on and . -  17:17, 11 August 2007 (EDT)

Well, OK. And, the website said about 20 characters, so I'm guessing it will be a half and half deal. But, yeah, maybe we should do that. I guess.

Maybe we should wait for the game to come out before making a decision like that. 17:28, 11 August 2007 (EDT)

Source of the characters type
This video from the Games Convention http://www.jeux-france.com/downloads8281_video-mario-sonic.html

Australia News
I would suggest going here for some good Australian news on the game. AND TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO STATE THIS GAME WILL FAIL, READ THAT!!! Sorry for yelling, but that gets everyones attention better :P

Confusion on Espio?
Espio is in speculated and referee character spots. Which is he, Playable or Non-playable? SonicMario
 * He is not playable, I saw in the trailer. I don't know who put him under speculated characters, but he is a referee.

Waluigi?
IGN states that Waluigi is in the game. Could this be true? Can someone please tell me if this is true or not.

Fake Boxart
I can't find this Boxart on any official source. That means this Boxart must be a fake, as it has not been revealed on any official source whatsoever. The Super Smash Bros. Brawl Boxart was deleted because it was not found on any official source, so the Boxart of this game should too.
 * Uh, hello? Isn't anyone going to respond to this?
 * Ignore. The boxart was proven to be official on Nintendo of Australia's website.
 * Ignore. The boxart was proven to be official on Nintendo of Australia's website.
 * Ignore. The boxart was proven to be official on Nintendo of Australia's website.

Artwork
Anyone noticed how the artwork looks similar to other games? So either these are duplicates or Nintendo is getting lazy. :P can i have a link to the website where these pictures were found?

I can help ya, look at this
 * Thanks, but it seem like, the website didn't have official artwork of Yoshi or Waluigi so they used artwork from other games.

May be... Well, I don't know.
 * Um, anyone happen to know what language that site is in? Regurgitated artwork :O


 * Obviously French. / Time Q 14:52, 16 October 2007 (EDT)

Release Dillemma
I am getting this game in 5 days. America doesn't get Mario & Sonic until, like, 2 weeks after Australia gets this game. So, when it is released here, I will be doing massive edits to this page and the related articles. BUT! Should I class the game as Just Released, or wait for the game to be released in America? As for the related articles, should I remove the Newsubject tag, or wait for the game to be released in America?
 * Wait for the US release (see Manual of Style, green box), but you can remove the newsubject template. 20:34, 16 October 2007 (EDT)
 * OK, thanks.

Bowser Artwork
Notice something odd here? Look at the top-left side of the Monopoly picture. Notice how the artwork is exactly the same as the Olympics artwork? May I remove that artwork from this article, please?

and the artwork was in SM64DS!

So does that mean that only Peach and Daisy have artwork??? Javier12345

pRETTY mUCH.


 * Well, considering the site it was found on was unofficial, I am to deduce this. They could only find some artwork, and decided "Well, fans will want all the characters artwork. What if we re-use old artwork, until the official one comes". That's my theory anyway.

Postponed release?
The article itself says that the game was released in Australia on Monday. The infobox says it's somewhere at the end of November. What's up? - 10:45, 23 October 2007 (EDT)
