Talk:Dinosaur Land

Is it true that this was renamed Dinosaur Island in the remake? If so, the article should be moved to Dinosaur Island, as that is the most canonically correct name. -- Son of Suns

I don't think there's enough information in this article. It should have a little bit about the geography of Dinosaur Land, and maybe some interesting features.

Wait a second! I know why you're not answering me! It's because you think I'm not being smart since I can edit the article myself. Well, maybe I'll do it... sometime. CrystalYoshi 19:36, 30 January 2008 (EST)


 * Okay, I'll answer you then :P Actually I think you're right, it would be a good idea to add something about the geography. Would be great if you could do it, since nobody else seems to wish to take care of it right now. You could also add the tag at the top of the page.  07:05, 2 February 2008 (EST)

I don't know how to do that. And all the information is good, just needs more. I could do it, but that'd be a big step from what I've done with articles before. But after all, if I don't do something more than what I already do, I'm not really ever going to be able to. 16:38, 2 February 2008 (EST)

Here's what I've got so far:

Geography of Dinosaur Land
Yoshi's Island, the first world of Dinosuar Land, is in the southwest part of the land. It has a mountain which has Yellow Switch Palace on it. Like the first world of many Mario games, it is a grassland-themed world. North of it is the Donut Plains, a large plain with a lake in the center. Donut Plains is also generally grassland-themed, and it has mountains that are shown on the world map. The path leads to the Vanilla Dome, a mountain cave with a lake and underground hills. The top of Vanilla Dome can be acessed from inside Vanilla Dome through secret exits and has two levels. One of the levels (Vanilla Secret 3) is in a lake, and there's also a waterall that the Vanilla Fortress is on. Next to Vanilla Dome is Cookie Mountain, another mountain. There is a bridge (Cheese Bridge) connecting the two mountains. Cookie Mountain is a high mountain, because there are clouds in the background. Down from Cookie Mountain there is a ladder leading to the Forest of Illusion. The Forest of Illusion is a maze of trees. The path leading out from it goes to a small island, and then to Chocolate Island, a chocolate-brown colored island. The island has many hills and obstacles. A path from Wendy's castle goes into the sea to a Sunken Ghost Ship, which is the entrance to the Valley of Bowser, a cave shaped like Bowser's head. This is where Bowser is fought. Somewhere above Dinosaur Land is Star World, a secret world on a star. The connection between Dinosuar Land and Special World is unknown.

Anyone should feel free to add on as much as they want. You can also edit what I wrote if you want to make it sound better. Once there's a bit about each location, I'll add it to the article. Come on, SMW lovers: add more!

Come on, I'm gonna have to write this whole thing by myself? No one wants to help out? Okay then.

Time Q, is it really "point of view" to say it's odd the bridge is seen as whole but is actually broken? What if you saw a whole bridge far away and came to it and it was broken? What kind of person would say it wasn't odd? Never mind, it doesn't REALLY matter.
 * Phrases like "oddly" and "interestingly" are always POV (the writer judges that something is odd or interesting, but an encyclopedia should never judge), no matter what the context is. Sorry. 17:59, 15 February 2008 (EST)

Okay. By the way, this is getting really long! Should I maybe make a simpler version for the Dinosaur Land page and add specific information about each world on their own pages? 18:18, 15 February 2008 (EST)

Wait, change it back to Dinosaur Land! They don't call it Dinosaur Island on the remake, just on the official site. Son of Suns changed it? It's really called Dinosuar Land, saying it's called Dinosaur Island in the remake is misleading, it should be Dinosaur Land. 17:44, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

I'm chaniging it back to Dinosaur Land. If anyone has an objection, put it here before changing it again. 17:44, 14 March 2008 (EDT)
