Proof
Where's the proof for your information on Larry's page about him being Bowser's favorite? do you have a quote or a picture? FD09
 * It was in the Primagames strategy guide for Super Mario Advanced 4. Super Mario Bros 3. Here's the quote:
 * "It was a dark and stormy night. A shape quitely shifts through the rain, ominously flying through the skies. It is made of wood, metal and nastiness! It is a Koopa Airship, piloted by Bowser's favorite: Larry Koopa!" Prima's Official Strategy Guide: Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 page 4: Introduction: Chaos in the Mushroom Kingdom!

Sorry, I don't (can't) have the e-Reader cards. I cropped that picture from:. Again sorry, I can help. :(

RE:New Super Luigi U DLC Club Nintendo question.
Hi.

''Club Nintendo said I needed to do the New Super Luigi U survey by August 1, 2013 if I am to get double the coins. However, did they mean 12:00 AM on August 1 or 11:59 PM on August 1? I'm downloading NSMBU so I can download NSLU afterwards, and its going to take about two hours to download, and its about 11:32 as I'm typing, so I need clarifications.

(Hi my name is Agentdave7 I have never used the Talk page so hopefully I can help you. I copied your original comment so that you know what I'm answering.)

In the details it said: "August 1, 2013 11:59PM (EST)". Which means: anytime on August 1 until midnight (12:00AM, because then it`s Aug. 2). However, you also have to complete a registration survey before the deadline. The last question of the survey asks if you want to enter the sweepstakes to win the pin.

Hopefully that helps.

Tense
Nice job on the Steak page, but note that articles need to be primarily written in the present tense, as per the reccomendations of the Manual of Style. --Glowsquid (talk) 16:25, 6 October 2016 (EDT)

Re: No Time to Dawdle e-reader
it's been saved on my computer for like 8 years lol. it originally came from this url, which is dead now 16:30, 25 May 2017 (EDT)
 * Man, you're lucky to actually retain something like that for eight whole years. I had a lot of files that got erased due to a worm or something dying, and I still haven't found a way to actually recover them. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 14:55, 29 May 2017 (EDT)

Letter images
You're uploading enter screencaps of YouTube videos. You should crop the images to show just the letters instead. Or maybe find some sprite-rips. Either way, the images as they are now are unacceptable. 20:44, 11 May 2018 (EDT)

M-rated
Regardless, if the series has any M-Rated games, it counts as being "a series with M-Rated games." It doesn't matter what the mean is. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:28, 22 September 2018 (EDT)

Great Balls of Fire
Given that multiple sources call it "fire" and no sources seem to say they're just generic bouncy balls or anything, I think it's pretty safe to say that Iggy and Larry's SMW projectiles are fire. Their sprites clearly showing them tucking their heads into their shells before pulling the object out through the head-hole, indicating they're breathing it out. Of course, the technical reason was presumably to avoid all the troubles the changed tiling that giving those sprites a sufficiently-sized open mouth would require, but still, if they were just throwing balls, there'd be no reason to remove the head graphic. Short answer, it's a stylized fireball. As for the "star" in my edit summary, I was referring to how on the fireball's graphic is a white area that's shaped like a star. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:50, 30 November 2018 (EST)
 * Problem is, Ludwig in the same game was able to breathe fire just fine, without even needing to tuck his head in (not to mention Bowser never did that in any of the games), so it shouldn't be an issue with Iggy or Larry. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 20:08, 30 November 2018 (EST)
 * They are a completely different coded object. Additionally, his fire was shorter, and most importantly, he only ever shot his straight forwards, and not down a rapidly-changing incline, so it could easily just be shown coming straight out of his mouth in a line. With Iggy and Larry, the incline's change mean's there's no way for them to shoot fire in one rigid direction with any effectiveness (note the fact that the rotateable background layer was already in use for the platforms, and as such couldn't be used for the boss or projectiles), necessitating them to send an object that could go down any incline without looking like it was trailing unrealistically, as not only would each angle of the platform need the same visual angle on the projectile, but keep the same hitbox throughout, necessitating a circular shape. Another fallacy with that comparison is that on the object used for Morton, Roy, and Ludwig, the head's graphic is actually firmly attached to the body, unlike Iggy and Larry; in fact, on the former three, the tiles don't even differentiate until halfway up their muzzles. Basically, you're comparing apples to oranges something massive here. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:37, 30 November 2018 (EST)
 * Actually, Ludwig's head isn't firmly attached to the body (he needs to tuck his head into his shell before spinning around in it). Weedle McHairybug (talk) 20:39, 30 November 2018 (EST)
 * The spinning shell is yet another coded object, actually. As far as I've ever seen, he never appears "headless" but still standing. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:42, 30 November 2018 (EST)
 * Fine point taken, but they could have used something a bit closer to a fireball, like, I don't know, have Iggy and Larry just open their mouths and have them spew giant fireballs similar to Fire Bros in SMB3 (especially when, if Mario can fire fireballs the traditional manner in those boss fights, Iggy and Larry most certainly could fire them Fire Bros style). Weedle McHairybug (talk) 01:16, 1 December 2018 (EST)
 * Only way for that to fit in their mouths and still have the mouths conform to the tile size specifications would make the fireballs too small to be even remotely a danger. Particularly given most of those fights are spent jumping anyways. And even then, there's still the issue of launching angle not being consistent, and in order to give the impression of sometihng being launched from the mouth, the mouth has to be pointing a specific way; not possible when rigidly bound by tile constraints.
