I see you tagging images with <nowiki>{{image-quality}}</nowiki> recently and on a few items in the past. I agree with your usage. Some do not though.

I remember you talking to me about {{tem|image-quality}} usage [[File talk:MKSCCongratsScreen.PNG|here]]. I now have a [[MarioWiki:Proposals|proposal]] active to address these issues. Please look at it when you have the chance. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 21:15, 9 April 2016 (EDT)

::Busy? Haven't heard from you at all. Anyways, ''Re-take some 3DS screenshots losslessly using HANS'', {{user|Bazooka Mario}} has brought to my attention a different, less invasive method to get true PNG screenshots for 3DS games: [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox#3DS]]. I have no idea how viable this method is because I can't run homebrew due to me running the latest 3DS firmware. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 18:17, 18 April 2016 (EDT)

I haven't noticed your reply to my previous message, I'm sorry. It's too bad Retro won't offer enemy names in their game data... Anyway, I'm coming with a new request. I believe you have access to ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'' file data. If so, would it please be possible for you to extract the backgrounds of each world in the game? It would be helpful for the "Worlds" section on the game's article. Thanks! -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 08:26, 26 February 2018 (EST)

Also, totally unrelated, but what's a decent method for performing a text dump? Specifically, I've wanted to compare both versions of ''Super Mario RPG'', but the only Japanese text dump I'm aware of is incomplete. I'd appreciate if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 07:50, 17 February 2019 (EST)

:Cool, I'll add that to the Pulse Beam article since it makes the Beamer connection stronger. Some examples of other ''Odyssey'' oddities that may be of note would be if there is any sign of Spindrift (''Huwahuwa''/''Fuwafuwa''-''san'') since Torkdrift is supposed to be named after it (''Mechafuwafuwa-san''), or if Tropical Wiggler (''Shima Hanachan'') is using its apparent pre-release name (''Imomū''), but anything that seems to differ from the final name may be of interest. Also, if you have ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'' and the filenames are usable, I might have two more things that need to be checked there.

::Since there is now a proposal that would benefit from this info, I figure it wouldn't hurt to ask: would you happen to know the filenames for the [[:File:MLSSBMBigKoopaTroopa.png|Big Koopa-like Nokottasu turtle]] and [[:File:MLSSBMPresenter.png|Monty Mole-like Presenter mole]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'' ([[:File:LilSparkySS%2BBM.png|also the bonus dungeons' Li'l Sparky/Hothead-like obstacle]])?

I'm incredibly sorry, but I don't have the course downloaded. I got the description from a YouTube video. {{User|Yoshi876}}
== Re:Internal filenames ==
I've actually figured out on my own how to extract GameCube, DS, Wii, 3DS and Wii U files (though not Switch) with homebrew tools and view several game models, but the part I have difficulty with is uncompressing certain archives (to confirm it), so I wouldn't mind if you gave me pointers on viewing ''Super Princess Peach'' sprites (and ''Super Mario Odyssey'' models to see if Switch homebrew is worth the trouble). I just don't have the ''Mario & Luigi'' remakes. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 15:40, May 17, 2019 (EDT)
:I don't know about how to view SPP sprites, but you may be able to see which files are loaded for certain enemies by using Desmume's logging feature (Config>Slot 1>Retail DEBUG and then look at the CMD window). For Mario Odyssey, use Switch Toolbox for the archives/models/bymls. If you email me (using the "Email this user" on my userpage/talkpage) I could send you some data from games you don't have the data for. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 06:34, May 18, 2019 (EDT)
==About a press release==
Do you still have access to the ''Get Ready For Mini Mario-Mayhem Throughout The World!'' press release? I'd like to see it, specifically to check if the "[[Talk:Nitpicker|Nitpicker]]" is mentioned. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:59, January 21, 2020 (EST)
:As I remember it, I just found copies of it on news sites through google. I've googled it again, and here are the links I've found:

::I see. That's helpful. No mention of Nitpicker, but now I'm wondering if it was truly referring to Snap Jaw here: "''Sidekicks Mummy Guy and '''Snap Claw''' will do everything in their power to ensure the Mini Mario’s do not reach the exit door preventing our Mini Mario’s from moving onto the next level.''" Could it instead be referring to Cuttacutta? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 17:13, January 22, 2020 (EST)
:::You're right. I've removed the reference from the Snap Jaw page. I'll leave it up to regarding the other pages. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 13:48, January 23, 2020 (EST)
::::I'll leave it up to the [[Talk:Snapjaw#"Snap Claw"|talk page]], but I also notice that the press release is from Nintendo of Europe. Would you happen to know if it can be found in another language (maybe German, French, Spanish, or Italian)? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 16:10, January 23, 2020 (EST)
:::::I'm afraid I don't know. The European press site I have access to doesn't seem to have it. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 04:36, January 24, 2020 (EST)--[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 04:36, January 24, 2020 (EST)
::::::I went on a hunch and searched for "Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: [foreign subtitle]" + "Snap Claw", and found it [https://www.micromania.fr/mario-vs-donkey-kong-2-march-of-the-minis-30245.html in] [https://www.ultimagame.es/juegos/mario-vs-donkey-kong-2-la-marcha-minis/articulos other] [https://www.everyeye.it/notizie/mario-vs-donkey-kong-2-la-marcia-dei-minimario-in-arrivo-ds-33001.html languages] (except German). Unfortunately, the names weren't localized, so there isn't a clue on Snap Claw's identity. I'm leaning towards treating it as a typo of Snap Jaw given other grammatical errors unless details resurface.

== RE:Sticker Star bestiary ==
Unfortunately, I do not. {{User:Niiue/sig}} 18:51, June 9, 2020 (EDT)
:Honestly, I don't even remember. Knowing myself, I probably found a resource somewhere that I eventually forgot about. Sorry I couldn't be more help, I'll let you know if I find anything though. {{User:Niiue/sig}} 06:08, June 10, 2020 (EDT)
