==Possibility of a shooter?==
Please no! It would ruin the good Mario feeling! [[User:MarioMop]]
:[[Yoshi's Safari]] is a Mario shooter, released as early as 1993. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 18:03, 15 February 2008 (EST)
That's different. I meant a first-person 1 with lots of blood and gore.  [[User:MarioMop]]

==Addition of other main characters / species / items==
Soon, after many things reprising their roles in the new ''Mario'' games in 2011, 2012 and next year, soon it'll be time to add a few more main characters and items after the release of ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. I think characters like [[Gooper Blooper]], [[Metal Mario (character)|Metal Mario]] and the [[Star Coin]] deserve to be among the main characters and items.
And we don't care if we use miscellaneous or game arts in this article. It's because they look great.--[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] ([[User talk:Prince Ludwig|talk]]) 23:16, 4 November 2012 (EST)
:Also [[Spike (enemy)|Spike]] and [[Swooper]] (but don't use ''Galaxy'' artwork, I'd prefer to see the ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' sprite). --[[Special:Contributions/94.101.50.230|94.101.50.230]]
::Yeah, but recently, I've noticed the addition of minor characters in the article. And I don't know who did it for sure yet. And Spikes and Swoopers can be added in the article's species section.--[[User:Prince Ludwig|Prince Ludwig]] ([[User talk:Prince Ludwig|talk]]) 18:53, 17 December 2012 (EST)
== Cancelled Games ==
I noticed that a lot of the games [[List of cancelled games and vaporware|here]] are not listed [[Mario (series)#Cancelled Games and Tech Demos|here]]. We should add them, right ? I'm just asking, because I don't want to do things I shouldn't do. {{User:Banon/sig}} 16:06, 24 December 2012 (EST)
:We really need one of those [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold "be bold"] page.
(that's yes). --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 16:10, 24 December 2012 (EST)
::Ok, I will do it when I have time :) Thanks ! {{User:Banon/sig}} 16:22, 26 December 2012 (EST)
:By Luck, I was just about to do that.. but I'll leave that for you and check another thing.. Let's Click [Alt + X]!--{{User:Megadardery/sig}} 10:54, 8 April 2013 (EDT)
==Fawful==
Shouldn't Fawful be in the antagonists section? [[User:Rpg gamer|RPG Gamer. I HAVE RPG!!]] ([[User talk:Rpg gamer|talk]]) 07:59, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
:Maybe, but the only thing those sections cover is from the non-RPG games, so if you're going to add Fawful, you might as well add other major recurring RPG characters. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 12:11, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
::Aren't most rpg characters like one and done style characters because besides fawful and the shroobs I can't think of a singe other reoccurring RPG villain. {{User|Marshal Dan Troop}}
:::Hm, me neither. And it doesn't make any sense that only mainstream Mario games are thoroughly covered here. {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 12:17, 3 April 2013 (EDT)
::::I don't think it was intentionally set up like that it's just that there aren't very many reoccurring villains in rpg games so nobody ever added them (personally i'm not even sure if Fawful should be on the list or not). {{User|Marshal Dan Troop}}
== The Podoboo picture needs improvement ==
Don't you think the Podoboo pic is too pixelated? Someone please post a new one [[User:Splouge|Splouge]] ([[User talk:Splouge|talk]]) 11:21, 13 August 2013 (EDT)
:There aren't many big single Lava Bubble (Podoboo) artwork, but it's possible to get a model of it and upload it.<br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 20:00, 13 August 2013 (EDT)
== Some characters and species are missing ==
I think Biddybuds , Para-Biddybuds, and Peepas should be in the species section. And what about Boom Boom and Pom Pom? [[User:Splouge|Splouge]] ([[User talk:Splouge|talk]]) 12:01, 14 August 2013 (EDT)
:They have not appeared in enough games to be significant enough, considering they are generic enemies. I'm not sure about the other two though. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 20:49, 14 August 2013 (EDT)
== Metal Mario? Seriously? ==
Sorry I keep posting too much. But Metal Mario hasn't been in many games. Why is he on the list? And I think that Fire Snakes should be on the list. I'll add Fire Snakes, but I should get permission to remove Metal Mario. [[User:Splouge|Splouge]] ([[User talk:Splouge|talk]]) 11:05, 18 August 2013 (EDT)
== Nabbit? ==
Should we add Nabbit to the antagonist list even though he only has two games his popularity is growing rapidly and he even has a plush form.
{{unsigned|‎DolphinYoshi}}
:Likely not. No other sidescrolling games have been released since NSMBU and he hasn't appeared since NSLU so it can't be for certain if this will be a trend or if he is just confined to technically NSMBU. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 20:56, 14 February 2014 (EST)
== Boom Boom ==
I think Boom Boom should really be added to the bad guy list as he has appeared in lots of games. [[User:DolphinYoshi/sig]]
== Mario Franchise ==
I don't understand why this page is labelled "Mario Series" when it describes a franchise. The side-scrolling Mario games, Mario Kart, the Mario RPGs, etc. are each clearly different series, even though they share many characters. Aside from the fact that the games are drastically different, they use different numbering systems (the 7 in Mario Kart 7 does not count any games other than Mario Kart games). Changing this would also solve a lot of the problem people mention above about series/sub-series/sub-sub-series distinctions. [[Special:Contributions/50.81.150.190|50.81.150.190]] 17:10, 20 June 2014 (EDT)
:This page isn't one of our better articles in the wiki so excuse that. It labels series that shouldn't be covered here but in their respective series articles. The page itself is a mess and I think needs a gigantic overhaul. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 17:13, 20 June 2014 (EDT)
==Rosalina a main character?==
Um, isn't calling Rosalina one of the main characters a bit much. A main character would be a character who has been around since the Super Nintendo games and be in every game since his/her debut. Rosalina is as new as the Wii ages and only in 3 mainstreem games, not in any 2D side-scrolling games

== Amp ==
The [[Amp]]'s picture shows it from SMG, but I think it should show a pic from NSMBU. [[User:DREAMYDARKBOWSER777|DREAMYDARKBOWSER777]] ([[User talk:DREAMYDARKBOWSER777|talk]]) 21:15, 1 February 2015 (EST) GWAHAHA!
== This article... ==
Is there a, uh, NON-RETARDED way to fix this article? [[User:AnonBaiter|AnonBaiter]] ([[User talk:AnonBaiter|talk]]) 15:01, 12 August 2015 (EDT)
:What's a "retarded way" to fix something? Huh.
Anyway, [http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=32903.0 we pertinently know] the (series) pages are horrible, but thinking a good new standard has been hindered by a lack of time and other more pressing projects. Everyone's free to pitch in, tho! --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 16:36, 12 August 2015 (EDT)
