DDRMM
Should DDRMM be in the other spin-offs section?
 * Yeh.

No, it a canonical adventure. 23:21, 19 February 2007 (EST)

Cameos
Tetris

Qix

Pinball

Punch-Out

Golf

And lots of other games, too http://www.smbhq.com/cameos.htm Should it be in the article? H K
 * I don't see why not. Make a list of the Cameos right above the external links and then link to the other cameos this way: here . Wayoshi 12:53, 19 July 2006 (EDT)

Okay. its on my todo list. H K

Mario Superstar Baseball stats.
Batting:7 Pitching:7 Fielding:7 Running:6 --User:PeteyPiranhaLover

His stats don't really matter. His bio does, though.Waluigi Freak 99 19:07, 29 August 2006 (EDT)

Picture
Can somebody find another 3-D Pic? The picture just seems to similiar to the one on Wikipedia.

Done.
 * He meant the very top picture is exactly the same as Wikipedia. I have a Smash Bros. Brawl render to upload right now. 06:38, 22 November 2006 (EST)

VERY Humble Beginnings
The "Humble Beginnings" section of this article needs work. Not only does it contain bad grammar, but unofficial snippets as well, such as "His pet monkey, Donkey Kong (the currently known senior Cranky Kong) was apparently abused by Mario (Jumpman). In revenge he kidnapped his girlfriend Pauline and climbed building he was constructing." Is this official? Even if it is, it needs work.

Well... it was stated so in the instruction manual.

Headlines
I think that Mario Party series does pretty well as a subheadline to "Other Spin-Offs", as all other games/series listed there do. Why do you change my edits back? --Cobold 13:14, 28 January 2007 (EST)

Brooklyn?
Why couldn't Mario be from Brooklyn?


 * Okay. I just changed the article with all available sources. According to SMW2 (the game and instruction manual), Mario was born in the Mushroom Kingdom. However, the Official Super Mario 64 Player's Guide (a very low-level canon source) calls Mario a Brooklynite. When these sources are combined, this means that Mario was born in the Mushroom Kingdom, but must have spent some of his life in Brooklyn. As far as this wiki knows, the game Donkey Kong does not take place in Brooklyn. The most canon source is Donkey Kong Land, which indicates that Donkey Kong took place in Big Ape City, an urban region of Donkey Kong Island. Also, this wiki has not found any source to indicate where Mario Bros. takes place. All we know is that is in the sewers. -- Son of Suns

Donkey Kong Image
Why was that image I added from Donkey Kong changed back? The orignal was low quality. I put in hours of work into that other, background free image. What's the point in changing it back? - Hyper Mushroom


 * The new one is very low quality and an unofficial fan image. Background is good. -- Son of Suns


 * Unofficial?! That was on the cover of billions of ports of that game! See for yourself! If we're just removing images because of quality someone had better sort out that image of the Mario Bros. from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. And BACKGROUND?! What's so good about background? - Hyper Mushroom


 * Did you make the image? All the other images look slightly different. Anyways, the current pic is better; it looks like a person, not a scribbly character. Background establishes setting - I wish Nintendo put characters in a setting more often. The SS image is fine - it is an official image released by Nintendo. -- Son of Suns




 * C'mon! you can see the lack of quality from a mile off! This is the one I removed the background from (It may look a little bad because I couldn't tell what was the background an what was the outline) and again, it took me HOURS. The only reason it looks scribbly is because he's ducking under a barrel, making him look short and wobbly, but of course that isn't how he REALLY looks. I could always get the same thing with the background so... Oh. That would mean there were no difference between the two. BUT THE ORIGINAL IS SMALL! - Hyper Mushroom


 * Ooof... you need to get a program to help you with that. Microsoft PhotoDraw is what I use.  MS Paint is too finicky. :) --Stumpers

Parent
Mario is the Yoshi Kid's adopted parent, right?
 * Why do you ask? - Hyper Mushroom

Surname
I understand that the Mario Bros. movie established their surname as "Mario", but the movie isn't considered canon. Is there a canon source which backs this up? (and, if so, what?) -Chinju 19:35, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

M&L:PiT
Hey, guys. I noticed that there's no reference to the Shroob invation of M&L:PiT in the Early Life section. It is my opinion that regardless of your theory of time travel (that all changes to the past happened before you traveled or that you can change the past), in the present time Mario & Luigi have helped their older selves defeat the Shroobs. Therefore, I would put a paragraph in the Early Life section about it. Please respond. If you want this done, I could put it together for you. --Stumpers


 * The Early Life section should only be about Baby Mario. Of course, the Shroob invasion should be mentioned, and that Baby Mario met his future self. However, there should be a fuller section in the middle of the biography, stating that the present Mario went back in time to help his past self. The Biographhy section should be written in term's of Mario's life - he fought the Shroobs as a baby, grew up, then went back in time and fought the Shroobs as an adult with his baby self. -- Son of Suns

That was... weid. Wouldn't they know how to beat them if... but wait... huh? Max2 curse time travel.


 * The babies didn't really remember.

SPM Info
Could somebody please put info on Mario in SPM

I don't think you're supposed to ask other people to put in information. I  am   Confused  21:51, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Royalty?
how is he royalty?

Well, I think he was referred to as royalty in a cartoon and he did have his own castle in SML2. But he was never actually proclaimed as a king or a prince, so I'm not sure. 14:40, 9 June 2007 (EDT)

I'm pretty sure he was crowned as the ruler of a few places in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, but I don't think he ever kept the title. -- Sir Grodus


 * He was never called king or prince even thought he was ruler of Mario Land. Also like Grodus said he was kinged a few times, mostly in Rap Land because in Rap Land it NEVER shows him being unkinged. Click here to see the universe. SuperLuigi821 Oh you let the hat out of the bag, Big Top!

Plus the show isn't really part of the main storyline. User:Pal101

No edited sections?
How come I can't edit sections on this page? On this huge page, section editing is very important to editors. 22:27, 11 June 2007 (EDT)

Similar Pics
Look at the pictures from the Land of Darkness section and the Flipped section. They're practically the same except that one of them has Tippi in it. One of these pictures does not belong to that appropriate game.

Olympics
Um, for some reason, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, is redirecting to Mario's page.

Last Name
I heard about "Mario Mario" as a full name, but says Nintendo has said neither Mario or Luigi have last names. Confirmation? 21:34, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

I remember seeing this old interview on YouTube with Nintendo of America, back in the early days of Mario. The guy they interviewed said Mario and Luigi didn't have last names. -- Sir Grodus


 * Confirmation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGFRi_ueq-M ♥♪!? 21:39, 20 July 2007 (EDT)
 * 1988 LOL, ok :P 21:41, 20 July 2007 (EDT)

But... they are the Mario Brothers! The interviwed lies!

 * Are you refering to and ? They are in the scroll box at the bottom of the page, you have to scroll inside the box to see them. -  14:39, 23 July 2007 (EDT)
