The sign by "The Cap'n" in the Ocean Cave of Jolly Roger's Bay refers to them as "Treasure Chests" in ''Super Mario 64'', but this became "treasure chests" in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. ''64 DS'''s description for the Boom Box mini-game | The sign by "The Cap'n" in the Ocean Cave of Jolly Roger's Bay refers to them as "Treasure Chests" in ''Super Mario 64'', but this became "treasure chests" in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. ''64 DS'''s description for the Boom Box mini-game refers to them as "treasure chests" too. I'm pretty sure the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games were also inconsistent about it. I think it's "treasure chest" in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and "Treasure Chest" in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''?

Yeah, they got overlooked. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:18, September 27, 2022 (EDT) | |||
:You can move them, and the redirects don't need to be deleted since they're useful for searching. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:52, September 27, 2022 (EDT) | |||
==Re:Cap Block== | |||
There's "''There are special Caps in the red, green and blue blocks. Step on the switches in the hidden courses to activate the Cap Blocks.''" and "''Are you using the Cap Blocks? You really should, you know. To make them solid so you can break them, you have to press the colored Cap Switches in the castle's hidden courses. You'll find the hidden courses only after regaining some of the Power Stars. The Cap Blocks are a big help! Red for the Wing Cap, green for the Metal Cap, blue for the Vanish Cap.''" I think the former's on a sign and the latter's by Toad or possibly a post-star narration. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 06:15, December 5, 2022 (EST) | |||
== Multiple undos == | |||
If you need to revert a consecutive series of edits, on the history page, click on the "cur" link next to the edit ''before'' the edits you're reverting, then click "undo" to revert them all at once, rather than undoing them one at a time. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:58, December 24, 2022 (EST) | |||
== RE: Peak Precision == | |||
It's technically one, because they don't actually make it to the next handhold (the one diagonally above the player) and instead slip back down to the handhold directly below it (the one diagonally below the player from where they just were). Still, I changed it to be less ambiguous. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:02, January 18, 2023 (EST) | |||
They're spiky pillars that spin and propel any Spiked Balls that touch it. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:52, January 19, 2023 (EST) | |||
==Re:Spiked bombs== | |||
Sure. Here's the line in the English N64 version: "''Mario, it's Peach! Please be careful! Bowser is so wicked! He will try to burn you with his horrible flame breath. Run around behind and grab him by the tail with the [B] Button. Once you grab hold, swing him around in great circles. Rotate the Control Stick to go faster and faster. The faster you swing him, the farther he'll fly. Use the [C] Buttons to look around, Mario. You have to throw Bowser into one of the bombs in the four corners. Aim well, then press [B] again to launch Bowser. Good luck, Mario! Our fate is in your hands.''" For good measure, the Japanese version:「マリオ！ クッパのはく ほのおに きをつけて！ クッパを こらしめるには うしろにまわりＢボタンで シッポをつかむのよ！ なげとばす まえには ３Ｄスティックで グリグリふりまわすの。 はやく まわすほど とおくまで とぶわ！ Ｃボタンで まわりを よーくみて！ なげとばした クッパは ４すみの バクダンに ぶつけてやるの！ ねらいを よーくさだめて・・・ もういちどＢボタンよ！」The DS version understandably rephrases it because of the control scheme, but also for some reason makes it less obvious that it's from Peach and, in the English version only, changed the term "bombs" to "spiked orbs". This wouldn't appear to be the only time the Player's Guide was consulted in the making of ''Super Mario 64 DS''; for example, [[Elevator Tour in the Volcano|Inside the Volcano]] comes from the original Player's Guide too, making it more easily confused with the other volcano mission.

== RE: Bonus Stars == | |||
Add {{tem|about}} to the Green Star and Red Star articles with a link to the Bonus Star article (<code><nowiki>{{about|description of the current article|description of the destination article|[[Bonus Star]]}}</nowiki></code>). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:29, April 1, 2023 (EDT) | |||
== RE: Italics == | |||
Maybe we shouldn't either, and the lack of them already looks better on [[List of official Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournaments|these titles]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:14, April 17, 2023 (EDT) | |||
== Classic mode route == | |||
Just a heads up, I think a list for the classic mode route in Mario's article conveys the information better than a table due to being easier to maintain and the information being straightforward enough for a list (I think it also applies whenever there's information on classic mode routes). I applied advice from Wikipedia[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Tables#Appropriate_use] while also discussing a bit with someone more versed in web development about the general use of tables on the wiki. {{User:Mario/sig}} 17:37, May 19, 2023 (EDT) | |||
== Fake Mystery Box == | |||
Where is a [[fake Mystery Box]] in [[Shifty Boo Mansion]]? [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 01:16, May 25, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:I read this on the [[Mystery Block]] page: "In one area of the Shifty Boo Mansion level, the Boo painting is the real Mystery Box and if the players pick the Mystery Box, it becomes a decoy and a Boo will appear to distract Mario." Maybe I misinterpreted it or the statement is incorrect. If the statement is incorrect, please correct it and let me know.

They're from the [https://youtu.be/Q6J1gkx5_zs tutorial]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:33, July 24, 2023 (EDT) | |||
==Strange cloud== | |||
FYI, "strange cloud" is a closer to the Japanese, in both ''Super Mario 64'' and ''Super Mario 64 DS''. The "toxic" part was added in ''DS'', but it doesn't correspond to the original text, so the name would be "strange toxic cloud" if we're being proper; either way, the article title should probably change to either its ''Super Princess Peach'' or ''Super Smash Bros.'' names anyway. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 20:28, July 28, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:Well like I said, it would be either the most recent ''Mario''-franchise name in ''Super Princess Peach'' or overall one in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. In the former, you can see a [https://www.randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/shr/spp/img/superpeach-text.txt text dump] calls it "smoke" twice (can vouch for a Fury Volcano Message Block), and for the latter, [[smashwiki:Conditions|this article]] has text directly lifted from the game showing it referred to as "Poison Cloud" and "poisonous cloud". I wonder if the ''Smash'' thing should be considered the same or split, though. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 21:44, July 28, 2023 (EDT) | |||
==''Mario Party 8'' part 2== | |||
Ok, so the screenshot of the early version of [[Puzzle Pillars]] is sourced (I didn’t know that, I just started to have an account for today) and I before this I edited anymously), but how about that thing, about the fact that this is the only minigame to have the “Congratulations!” music playing, while a “Congratulations” text comes on screen. And can we be friends, I like the way you’re working on the MarioWiki | |||

== RE: Trip Navigator == | |||
I was about to revert the edit myself before Doc did for a similar reason. The company is not well-known enough (and it being established before the game's release doesn't make it more likely), and the term isn't that unique of a name, it's just "someone who navigates a trip" if it was a designated title (a "trip navigator"). Also, Google results are only popular for the term you're searching; that doesn't mean they're popular period, let alone popular enough for the minigame to be based on it. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 12:43, August 27, 2023 (EDT) | |||

== article opening == | |||
Just noting that the reason I began several articles with "In the ''Super Mario'' franchise" (those with essentially no difference to their generic counterparts) is because of [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Truck&diff=3916640&oldid=3916635 this edit].

== RE: Tables == | |||
This seems to be an issue only in mobile view where the columns narrow down to the width of the longest text. Unfortunately it's a limitation for mobile that happens for pretty much every table and why images often appear tiny in that mode so the tables are not too wide. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:15, December 29, 2023 (EST) | |||
