== Another option == | |||
[https://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Proposals#Reconsider_Nintendo.27s_website_filenames_being_used_as_a_source] I've added another option to cite them only in cases where there is no other available alternative. [[User:Axis|Axis]] ([[User talk:Axis|talk]]) 23:55, August 17, 2023 (EDT) | |||

== SMRPG and crude CG == | |||
I was mostly looking at, for example, Frogfucious and Guerilla's models, which as seen by their official renders, look like they came straight out of 1996 showcase renders. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:24, September 18, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:It's not that noticeable [[:File:Super Mario RPG remake combat.jpg|in-game]], considering how small these characters appear on the screen. Some models aren't even really polygon-impaired, such as [[:File:SMRPG NS Spikey.png|Spikey's]], [[:File:SMRPG NS Sky Troopa.png|Sky Troopa's]], or [[:File:SMRPG NS Magikoopa.png|Magikoopa's]], and are comparable to what you'd see in other [[:File:MTA Kamek.jpg|Nintendo-published]] [[:File:DiddySpecialShot.jpg|games]]. I can believe the notion that these in-game models being recycled as promo renders where they are more clearly visible, warts and all, may have been intended to further emulate the original game's artistic direction, but it reads like speculation without definitive word from the developers and the statement I removed was in reference to what is seen in the game itself anyway. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 10:32, September 19, 2023 (EDT) | |||
==Re: "Evasion check"== | |||
In the [[Stage (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|stage article]] regarding your confusion with the term "evasion checks", a "check" in RPG terms is essentially an RNG mechanic that a game calculates for an action (for example, if TTYD used DnD mechanics, a character has to roll a 10 or higher on a 20-sided die to see if the attack connects). In context of here, what the description is essentially saying "attacks that always hit the target ignores the evasion drop". It's very jargony for something like TTYD tho, so I wouldn't mind a rewrite so you can understand it better. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 15:18, September 19, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:I get it now, thank you. I don't hang around much in the gaming sphere outside of this website, much less in RPG-oriented communities, so I apologise for my ignorance. Still, having re-googled the term now (obviously with RPG-related keywords), I couldn't find an index that would explain this word, just some Quora answer and several mentions on gaming Reddit communities; doesn't help that my desired results were hodgepodge'd with IBM-related programming concepts. What I want to get at is that, yes, the term is indeed too jargony and should be expanded upon in the article for n00bz. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:41, September 19, 2023 (EDT) | |||
== Mario Kart Tour's regarding "false items" == | |||
At first I see Builder Toad receiving Bob-omb Cannons and Explorer Toadette receiving Double Bob-ombs, which makes me a bit suspicious<br> | |||
But when I see Pengui Yellow Toad receiving Dash Rings instead of ice Flowers, I get agitated because it does not fit Penguin's powerups, like Penguin Mario and Toadette.<br> | |||
This also happens to Kamek when he has Cioin Box instead of Ice Flowers since he has magic, and it has sparkle trails, not to spew coins, contradicting Mario platforming games.<br> | |||
Golfer Luigi should have used Ice Flowers like he did in Mario Golf Super Rush, and Wintertime Larry should have used Ice Flowers because his clothes were made of snowflakes.<br> | |||
For Green Birdo, while it makes sense to have Fire Flowers just like she did in Super Mario Bros 2, it would make a bit of sense to receive Green Shells as her special item.<br> | |||
The worst offender will be Golden Mario with Fire Flowers since it is considered a false item and it would make sense to receive a Coin Box. Coin Box makes him OP, so it would make better sense to receive Lucky 7 instead. | |||
Bonus: Gold Dry Bowser and Gold Shy Guy get explosive items than Coin Boxes, which makes no sense. | |||

==Mario vs. Donkey Kong (GBA, Switch) vs. Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Game Boy Advance) Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)== | |||
Why isn't it okay to call this tempalte like I did when we already did it for Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3? I don't understand the logic behind this... Do you like long ass names? I don't see how my proposal is less intuitive than yours, do you think people would seriously believe that the GBA game comes after the Switch game? there are more than 20 years between the two consoles. It's pretty clear which game is older and which game is newer. As for the "better readability", I mean, have you seen how long the name you are proposing is? --[[User:Conradd|Conradd]] ([[User talk:Conradd|talk]]) 21:20, October 23, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:I shouldn't explain myself because it's obvious enough why the options you proposed aren't ideal, but I guess I will.<br>1. The Mario vs. Donkey Kong template should relate to both the GBA and the Switch versions of the game. This is mitigated when you put "Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)" as a header for the template, implying at a glance that the template only applies to the Switch version. No, choosing the game's title itself to link to the "main article" while linking to the Switch version through the console identifier is not a solution; readers have no way to register that difference just by sight, and there's a much-higher-than-zero chance they'd expect an article for the Nintendo Switch console when they click on a link that says "Nintendo Switch", even in the context of this game.<br>2. Arguably even less intuitive is having the game title itself formatted in plain text and expecting readers to instantly know that they're supposed to click on one of its console identifiers for the intended game version.<br>Yes, I do in fact prefer expanding upon and clarifying a notion when the alternatives are worse--as in, I prefer repeating a game's title if the template ought to link to different versions of the game in its header. I don't see how one or two rows added to a short box in service of clarification is such an eyesore. Absolutely no big deal. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 08:51, October 24, 2023 (EDT) | |||
== Wario is testing the limits of how much his body can twist!! == | |||
[[File:WarioWWMI.png|200px]] | |||
And, after being subjected to a few Mario Party minigames and even a legal torture device in Bowser's training room <sub><s>remember Waluigi's back breaker from Mario Power Tennis?</s></sub> it turns out he can beat our favorite contorted comic book women! He didn't even snap a single spinal segment, which can't be said of the women! What an envy of the opposite AND the same sex! | |||
<sub>P.S. [[File:Mario Scene Sad PD-SMBE.png|40px]] Where is [[User talk:Koopa con Carne/Archive 4]]? Did it succumb to the extreme twisting?</sub> | |||
{{User:Mario/sig}} 00:30, November 2, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:Ha! This is just anti-Wario propaganda thinly veiled as damage control, but reality is nowhere near as soothing! Not falling for it. Don't you know why there are no more Wario platformers? Or why [[Wario-Man]] retired in 2018? His spine is now too frail to allow any more straining exercise, and he's not even that old. He's like, what, 21? (We never see him drinking in games.)<br>[[File:SSBB - Wario Man Screenshot.png|300px]]<br>All he needed was 20 McCheeseburgers and 20 gallons of 7-Up a day to be in such shape. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 10:48, November 2, 2023 (EDT) | |||
::Holy moly, has Wario Man been absent since Game & Wario? Maybe Afghani simply cannot handle the fabulousness of those pink pajamas! Fawful couldn't either, and this was why he died. [[File:Fawful 2 MLSSBM.gif]] {{User:Mario/sig}} 17:20, November 4, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:::Fawful died before he ever lost his lustre though! "Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!" ~ cried a spineless Wario as he [https://www.youtube.com/embed/pK-7iTVDF-I?start=15&end=20 coiled into oblivion]. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 19:18, November 5, 2023 (EST) | |||
== Oops! Proposal stuff == | |||
Pssst, we asked a question about an ongoing proposal we started and we'd like to ensure everyone's on the same page with it. [[Talk:List of DIC cartoon episodes featuring Hip Koopa|Cool link]], let us know at the earliest convenience. {{User:Camwoodstock/sig}} 10:51, November 4, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:Thanks! {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 12:13, November 4, 2023 (EDT) | |||
==Proposal you might be interested in== | |||
Hi friend! Just figured you might like to chime into a new proposal made [[Template talk:Foreign names#Adopt_the_de-facto_format_for_dissecting_foreign_names|here]], since you seem to be interested in this sort of thing (word formatting). {{User:Somethingone/sig}} 07:10, November 21, 2023 (EST) | |||
== Oh no! The frozen Wario that was TOO cold escaped and has wandered into your talk page! == | |||

He wants your W-4 forms!!!! [[File:LuigiPortraits3-MPSR.png]] {{User:Mario/sig}} 16:24, December 15, 2023 (EST) | |||
:Have a look-see, Wario! It's nice to see that you've finally become an upstanding citizen who cares if others abide by law and pay their taxes... even if it took an extreme temperature dip and a trip to the coroner! After all, no one who dies really dies: we merely transform. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 18:31, December 15, 2023 (EST) | |||

== Fandom template proposal == | |||
Fandom's interwiki link has been fixed one or more years ago. Just as I researched, <code><nowiki>[[wikia:c:spongebob:Bikini Bottom|Bikini Bottom]]</nowiki></code> takes you {{plain link|[https://spongebob.fandom.com/wiki/Bikini_Bottom here]}} By the way, there's a [[Template talk:Fandom#Decide whether to add the language parameter and/or change back to the interwiki link template|proposal on decisions to add the language parameters and/or change back to the interwiki]], and the deadline is tomorrow. Which option would you choose? {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 14:19, March 22, 2024 (EDT) | |||
== Proposal cleaned up == | |||
I cleaned up [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Broaden the scope of the {{unreferenced}} template|my proposal]] by adding the <code><nowiki><pre></nowiki></code> tags. You should take a look at what the template will look like from above. What do you think how my proposal looks? {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 21:00, March 30, 2024 (EDT) | |||
== Disambiguation pages for Smash fighters == | |||
I had an idea that we can make a disambiguation page for non-''Super Mario'' fighters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, so that ''Super Smash Bros.'' does not take precedence over actual ''Super Mario'' appearances. For example, check the Mewtwo page. The titles for the list pages implies that they're of ''Super Smash Bros.'' content, so that's another reason why I had the idea to do disambiguation pages. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 17:27, April 12, 2024 (EDT) | |||
:The ''Mario'' appearances proper are already covered within Mewtwo's entry on the fighter list. "Mewtwo" should redirect to that whole entry; making a disambig is just adding unnecessary steps. The entire basis of covering these non-Mario fighters on the Mario Wiki is that you can interact with them in Smash if you play as a Mario character, so, for the time being, they're still somewhat Mario-related even solely in terms of Smash. The redirect is warranted. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:32, April 12, 2024 (EDT) | |||
::I avoided tagging fighter redirects for deletion, when I saw the Mewtwo one was undeleted. However, the series categories need to be removed, per the result of a recent proposal. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 17:34, April 12, 2024 (EDT) | |||
:::Ah, well, if that's what that proposal said, that's what we oughta do! I guess the Mewtwo redirect goes in the trash. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 17:42, April 12, 2024 (EDT) | |||
