Talk:Panel de Pon

Needed?
I'm actually not so sure if this article is needed. Doki Doki Panic introduced a lot of characters and game mechanics that are a recurring part of the Mario series today, so I think it deserves an article, but that doesn't go for Panel de Pon. Not any character from Panel de Pon became a Mario character, and this type of puzzle game titled Puzzle League outside of Japan today is also not common for the Mario series. Merge with Tetris Attack? --Grandy02 15:39, 27 August 2009 (EDT)
 * I don't think either of them deserve an article. I mean, while they were both the template for two Mario games, they don't have anything to do with the Mario franchise itself.
 * Doki Doki Panic was at least the debut for many Mario series characters and other elements like the vegetables. On the other hand, none of the fairies made it into Tetris Attack for SNES and Game Boy, neither was there another Panel de Pon/Puzzle League game starring Mario characters. If Tetris Attack did not exist, it wouldn't change much for the Mario series, while Super Mario Bros. 2 based on Doki Doki Panic had and has a notable impact on the franchise.--Grandy02 10:37, 5 June 2010 (EDT)

Well, I agree with the comments above, as there is an article for Doki Doki Panic, it does belong here since it had a notable impact on the Mario franchise, but this doesn't belong here since if Tetris Attack didn't exist, t wouldn't change much for the Mario series,

Support

 * 1) Per my proposal.
 * 2) I agree with UltraMan
 * 3) If UM3000 agrees, then I'll agree as well! Per UM3000!

Oppose

 * 1) but the point is it does exists and i see no reason why it should be deleted importance should not be an issue and it isnt fair to say that one game is more important than another especially if neither game is a mario game
 * 2) Per Goomba Shoe.

Panel de Pon may not be a Mario Universe title, but that is the origin of Tetris Attack, which contains Mario Universe characters. Of course, Tetris Attack is merely a Yoshi's Island spin-off title, while Super Mario Bros. 2 is mainstream. 08:02, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
