I wrote the character sections for ''Super Mario 64'', ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', and ''Super Mario Odyssey''. I contributed much of the article for ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and am currently working on ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
Nintendo fanatic and enthusiast. (You probably are too if you're looking at this page.) I'm otherwise an artist and an ecologist. Within my field, I specialize in wildlife and (currently, but not exclusively) insects. I've had an account here since 2012.
 
I wrote the character sections for ''Super Mario Odyssey''. I contributed a lot to the articles for ''Super Mario 64'', ''Super Mario Sunshine'', ''Super Mario Galaxy'' (which is now [[MarioWiki:Featured articles/N4/Super Mario Galaxy|featured]] - yay!), and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', alongside many other people on this wiki who have contributed their time, energy, and passion to writing about video games.


I have been a fan of Nintendo since a very young age. My first ''Mario'' games (and three of the first video games I ever owned) were ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. These games were good company for a young kid who moved around a lot and had difficulty keeping long-lasting friends.

These games were good company for a young kid who moved around a lot and had difficulty keeping long-lasting friends.


During the {{wp|COVID-19 pandemic}}, I sequentially played some of my favorite games in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] to 100% completion. This includes, in order, ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. I will complete this marathon with ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It's been really fun so far! These are great games, and I always wanted to marathon a series like this before but never had the time. It has been interesting to see where the series began and where it has ended up. The design philosophies, the characters, the art directions, world building, level design, narrative, etc. All good stuff. It might be fun to write something about it some day.

<!--Many galaxies contain unique people, cultures, and problems reflective of the levels' individual mechanics. For example, the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]] is the first galaxy to introduce the [[Bee Mushroom]] and has sections built around using the [[Bee Mario|bee suit]]. The first mission in Honeyhive introduces a community of peaceful, sapient [[Honeybee]]s ruled by a [[Queen Bee]]. They share details about their way of life or specific mechanics on how to use the bee suit when prompted by Mario. The first mission also includes a diminutive bug enemy called a [[Flipbug]] that chase down Mario in his bee suit. The subsequent mission builds upon these details in introducing a similar but much larger bug enemy called a [[Mandibug]] that prey on the Honeybees and are established as neighboring species. This escalates in the third mission with a full on Mandibug invasion and a boss battle with a giant member of the species, [[Bugaboom]].-->

===Setting===
[[File:SMG Artwork Outer Space.png|x150px|thumb||right|Key artwork of outer space, as presented on the game's boxart.]]
[[File:Ch2 5.png|x90px|thumb||right|[[Rosalina]] netting [[Star Bit]]s as she rides in a [[Starshroom|starship]].]]
''Super Mario Galaxy'' is set in [[space|outer space]]. With the exception of [[Grand Finale Galaxy]], which is [[Princess Peach]]'s [[Castle Grounds]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], all levels – refered to as "galaxies" in this game – are staged on other worlds far removed from [[Mario]]'s [[Earth|home planet]]. This is the first entry in the [[Super Mario (series)|series]] to explicitly include an [[Space Zone|outer space setting]] since ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', and the first time it has been realized by the core ''Super Mario'' team at [[Nintendo EAD]]. A galaxy is an isolated cluster of planetary bodies. Most planets have their own [[Gravity|gravitational pull]], which prevents Mario from falling down [[bottomless pit]]s and enables him to return to his starting position if he just keeps moving forward. Mario's movement, physics, and trajectory bend organically around the planet's shape.<ref name=montreal/><ref name=jasper/> Because they have their own pull, most planets can be directly traveled between just by jumping. Otherwise they can be reached via stellate objects called [[Launch Star]]s and [[Pull Star]]s. Not all planets have their own unique gravity: some are shaped like the more traditional courses of ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and the gravitational pull is below their mass, but this is conveyed through context.<ref name=jasper/>
 
The theme of space is communicated in various ways throughout ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Many galaxies include distant asteroid belts or views of massive, unreachable planets orbiting suns that peak over their horizons. Depending on the distance from the game's [[camera]], the light from a visible sun retracts, mimicking the behavior of real sunlight. The {{wp|Skybox (video games)|skyboxes}} of the galaxies feature nebulas, auroras, and starry skies. Three-dimensional objects – including Mario himself – exhibit a soft glow in certain positions as if struck by the light from distant stars. [[Black hole]]s occur in place of bottomless pits in many galaxies. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' includes some motifs derivative of {{wp|science fiction}}, such as [[Gearmo|humanoid robots]], fortified battle facilities, [[UFO]]s, and starships. Much of the game's setting include whimsical, tranquil, and surreal elements comparable to those found in fairytales.<ref name=wired>Chris Kohler.

It is overseen by a princess named [[Rosalina]] and is a nursery for spacefaring star children called [[Luma (species)|Luma]]s.

[[Star Bit]]s, small collectibles that fall from the sky like shooting stars, resemble {{wp|Konpeitō|konpeitō candies}} and are eaten by the Lumas.


According to director [[Yoshiaki Koizumi]], the primary theme of development for ''Super Mario Galaxy'' was to create a ''Super Mario'' game with spherical worlds. It was thought that these worlds would make it less likely that players would have to reposition the camera or get disoriented. These were issues he observed during the development of ''Super Mario 64'', ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', and ''Super Mario Sunshine'' that prevented complete immersion.<ref name=montreal>[[Yoshiaki Koizumi]].

Nintendo aligns it with the succeeding games ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' as a linear "course clear-style" game.<ref name=switch>[[Nintendo]].

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', levels are accessed inside of [[dome]]s on the [[Comet Observatory]]. They are spatially distributed across the hub, similar to the access points for levels in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. However, with the exception of the [[Garden]], each dome contains a set of five different galaxies instead of just one dedicated course. Domes are unlocked unilaterally as the player completes certain criteria. These make the domes homologous to the worlds of the 2D [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' games]] like ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]''. However, as in its 3D predecessors, the player is not limited to linear course progression in ''Super Mario Galaxy''.
'''Current project focus''': the signboards from the 3D ''Super Mario'' games.


Each galaxy contains objectives referred to as missions. Completing a mission has [[Mario]] acquire one of the galaxy's [[Power Star]]s, the same tokens used in ''Super Mario 64'' for unlocking levels. Once a specified number of Power Stars has been accumulated, a galaxy becomes unlockable at the player's discretion. Very few are absolutely required to play for game progression. The minimum number to access the game’s final level is 60 in a game that contains 240 total. Each mission has a introduction preview of the galaxy, similar to ''Super Mario Sunshine''.

Each dome has a [[Pull Star]] at its center and [[Polari]], who lets Mario view a map of the Comet Observatory when prompted. Entering the Pull Star brings Mario to an interactive selection screen of all the dome's galaxies. The galaxies orbit around the Pull Star (the {{wp|Origin (mathematics)|origin}}). The display is directly comparable to solar system models in aerodynamics, with each galaxy following a circular trajectory around the Pull Star. The distance of these orbital lines has a positive correlation with the number of Power Stars required to unlock them and a negative correlation with the number of mission available in the galaxies. (i.e. The farthest galaxies contain the fewest missions and are the hardest to unlock; the closest contain the most and are the easiest to unlock.) Using the [[Terrace]] dome as an example, a typical dome contains three different types of galaxies:
==To-do list==
===Articles to be made===
You're welcome to jump on these if you'd like.


*"Robust galaxies" that contain at least six missions. They either feature a high number of visitable planets or a small selection of large planets to explore. The missions build off of each other environmentally or narratively. (i.e. The events that occur in one mission foreshadow the events of the subsequent mission.) Two or more of the six missions typically involves a boss battle. Most domes contain two or three of these galaxies, and they are the first ones listed on the in-game [[Star List]]. They are the only galaxies orbited by [[Prankster Comet]]s. The robust galaxies of the Terrace are [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and [[Honeyhive Galaxy]].
'''Small articles relevant to one or two games'''
*"Mystery galaxies" that each contain one mission. Before being unlocked, they are represented by course preview models shaped like [[? Block]]s. These galaxies are highly distinctive in theme and mission. Some of them entail minigames like [[Ray Surfing]] or [[Star Ball]]. Others are athletic obstacle courses. Mystery galaxies usually require completing a certain mission in another galaxy in addition to accumulating a specific number of Power Stars to unlock. Each dome contains one or two mystery galaxies. In the Terrace, they are Loopdeeloop Galaxy and Flipswitch Galaxy.
#[[flipping block]], platforms from Tick-Tock Clock in SM64 and NSMB.
*"Boss galaxies" that each contain one mission. They feature linear obstacle courses that lead to boss battle. Half of them involve Bowser Jr., either directly or as the inciter for another boss to go after Mario. The other half feature Bowser himself. The star gained is always a Grand Star. With the exception of the Garden, each dome contains one boss galaxy and it is always on the outermost ring in the dome. Completing the mission in these galaxies is a criterion needed to unlock a subsequent dome and are required for game progression. They often have the highest Power Star threshold. The preview model in orbit resembles a bust of Bowser’s head with glowing eyes. The boss galaxy in the terrace is Bowser Jr.’s Robot Reactor.
#[[metal crate]], the pushable stone block from SM64.
#[[Clock hand]], the clock-hand platform from Tick-Tock Clock in SM64. Name comes from the MK8D Prima Guide. Originally called "[[minute hand]]s", which currently redirects to [[Big Ben]].
#[[spinning disc]], broad, spinning platforms from SM64.
#[[wobbly platform]] from SM64. Prism-shaped platforms in lava that tilt under Mario's weight.
#[[wooden beam]] from SM64. Plank of wood bridges gaps between platforms. In Whomp's Fortress, one can be kicked or punched to fall over.
#[[poster (object)]] from SMS and SMO. Sprayable wanted poster of Shadow Mario, and wedding-announcement poster that can be struck by Cappy for coins.
#[[tank (Super Mario Sunshine)]] from Ricco Harbor. Vats that hold fruit. Ground-pounding the top pushes a useable fruit out of its pipe.
#[[window]] from SMS. Spraying into the open window releases a coin. Currently redirects to [[Window from Coit Tower]].
#[[gate (Super Mario Sunshine)]] under Pianta Village. Smackable Flip Panel that pushes it along a track.
#[[green panel]] from SMS. Another Flip Panel. Smacking it rotates it ninety degrees, allowing it be used as a platform.
#[[basket (Super Mario Sunshine)]] containers in Delfino Plaza. Tossing fruit into one on behalf of fruit vendors awards Mario a Shine Sprite.
#[[boat (Super Mario Sunshine)]], the gondolas that move through Delfino Plaza. Some are necessary for completing tasks, like bringing Yoshi to a spot he'd otherwise be unable to touch.
#[[mirror (Super Mario Sunshine)]] from Gelato Beach. Direct light towards the Sand Bird's egg, and tilt under the weight of Plungelos.
#[[Roller Coaster (Super Mario Sunshine)]] from Pinna Park. Used in the boss battle with Mecha-Bowser and balloon-shooting.
#[[giant fruit]] from SMG2. Consumable by Yoshi. Pulling it often triggers something significant.
#[[bull's-eye (Super Mario Galaxy 2)]]. Striking the target's center awards Mario with an extra life.
#[[cymbals (Super Mario Galaxy 2)]] from Cloudy Court Galaxy. Ground-pounding the symbol releases 25 Star Bits.
#[[handle (Super Mario Galaxy 2)]]. Drawer-like platforms temporarily become accessible when Yoshi pulls the handle.
#[[giant grape]] from SMG2. Bounce Bee Mario in Honeybloom Galaxy.
#[[Star Barrier]] from SMG2. Roadblocks on the world map.
#[[Cannon (Spike Ball)]] from SM3DL. Turrets that release Spike Balls. Some pivot.
#[[Bowser Switch]] from SM3DL. Touching it causes the bridge to collapse and defeats the boss.
#[[view plate]] from SM3DL. Stepping on this panel shifts the 3D perspective.
#[[glowing spot]] from SM3DW and SMO. Ground-pounding a shining light on the ground releases a token (Green Star, or Power Moon).
#[[gold P Switch]] from SM3DW. Releases a flood of coins.
#[[sand statue]] from SM3DW. Breakable sculptures of Bowser and Goombas.
#[[? Block tower]] from SM3DW. Type of [[Switch Block (Super Mario 3D World)|Switch Block]] that creates stacks of Empty Blocks to be used as platforms. Info is currently on the
#[[invisible walkway]] from SM3DW. The blue, largely obscured platforms from Footlight Lane.
#[[firework bomb]] from SMO. Released by turrets in Bowser's Kingdom. Called [[cannonball]]s in the brochure.
#[[giant seed]] from SMO. The big seeds that Mario carries over his head.
#[[Block (Super Mario Odyssey)]]. Strong blocks that can only be broken by enemies, like Bullet Bill, Banzai Bill, Chargin' Chuck, Trapbeetle, Sherm, and fireworks bomb (knocked by Pokio). Little similar to the blastable rocks/Cheese Rocks, but not the same. Take on different designs to match the kingdom's topography, but they are usually made of rock. They are metal in Bowser's Kingdom, but a subarea in the Seaside Kingdom that includes Pokio and fireworks bomb replaces these with the stone ones, indicating they are equivalencies.
#[[dove]] from SMO's Cloud Kingdom. It is clear in the paratext that there are "small birds", and then there is avifauna that are... not those.
#[[dumpster]] from SMO.
#[[Flower (Spin Throw)]] from SMO. Successor to [[stone circle]]s. Separate from normal [[Flower (environmental object)|flowers]] that are also in the game.
#[[garbage]] from SMO. Currently a redirect to [[trash]] that is used nowhere on the wiki.

#[[plaster wall]] from SMO. Surfaces ascendable by Pokio.
#[[Rankings Board]] from SMO. It is called "Ranking Board" in some official paratext, but the sign refers to itself as the "Ranking''s'' Board" within in-game dialogue.
#[[red door]] from SMO. Opens when hit by Cappy. Maybe called "cap door" or "hat door" somewhere.
#[[sword (Super Mario Odyssey)]] from Ruined Kingdom.
#[[stone wall]] from SMO. Embedded with fossils, and breakable by Chain Chomps and T-Rexes.


[[File:SMG Buoy Base Green Power Star Collected.png|thumb|330px|left|[[Mario]] getting a [[Green Star]] in the [[Buoy Base Galaxy]].]]
Mario encounters Luigi in four galaxies: Good Egg Galaxy]], Honeyhive Galaxy]], [[Battlerock Galaxy]], and [[Ghostly Galaxy]]. In Ghostly Galaxy, Luigi is at the end of "[[Luigi and the Haunted Mansion]]" holding a star. After Luigi is rescued, he can be seen in the observatory and helps Mario reach secret stars that he could not get alone. When Luigi is in other galaxies, Mario receives a letter from Luigi every time Luigi has found a Power Star, including a picture which helps Mario find Luigi. After the main game is finished, Mario can return and collect up to 120 stars. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' contains a few different types of stars, including red, green, and comet stars. The [[Green Star]]s are secret stars which are used to unlock the [[Trial Galaxies]] and one [[Red Power Star]] appears when Mario returns to the gate, which allows usage of the [[Red Star]] in the Comet Observatory.


After finishing a level, Mario's highest score of coins for the galaxy is recorded and the collected Star Bits are transferred to the [[Comet Observatory, where Mario can later use them to feed [[Hungry Luma]]s. The requirements for opening up each galaxy is listed below, with Star Bits if the galaxy is created by a [[Hungry Luma]]. Note, however, that some galaxies are not unlocked by simply obtaining a number of stars but by completing a specific star. This is true for all Hungry Lumas except the first, and all bonus galaxies from [[Buoy Base Galaxy]] onward.
'''Large articles relevant to multiple games'''
#[[bone]] from SMUSA, SML2, SMG, maybe SMBW, and potentially other games. Often either a boardable platform, or a large obstruction. Not related to the projectiles thrown by Dry Bones and some other enemies. "Bone" is currently a disambiguation page, but this one should probably take priority.
#[[fish (environmental object)]] from SM64, SMS, SMG, SMG2, SM3DL, SM3DW, and SMO. Usually a passive background element, but sometimes more substantially interactable, such as in SMS.
#[[Float]] from SMW (Floating Island), SM64 (floating wooden platform), SMS (from Noki Bay), SMG (from Deep Dark Galaxy and others), NSMBU (floating crate), and SMO (Cork Float). Platforms that float on the surface of water and gently shift under Mario's weight.
#[[ice]] from many games. Slippery surface of the snow levels. Currently redirects to [[Ice]], a stage object from ''Dr. Mario World''.
#[[Jet Pipe]] from SMB3, NSMB, NSMBW, NSMB2, and NSMBU. Underwater pipes that cause a current. Currently redirects to [[Warp Pipe]].
#[[snow]] from various games. Interactable fallen snow, such as the fluffy snow from Snow Cap Galaxy or the clearable snow from SMO. Snowy blocks from SMBW may be related or the same.
#[[waterfall]] from SMB3, SMG, and SMG2. Currently redirects to [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Squirtle]].


There are a total of forty-two galaxies in the game.
===Nomination projects===
*Help bring the following to feature status (high priority):
#''[[Super Mario 64]]''
#''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''
#''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''
#''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''
*Help bring ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' to feature status (middling priority).
*Remove the feature status for ''[[Super Mario Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' (middling priority).
*Help bring the following to feature status (low priority):
#''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
#''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''
#''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''
#(also ''SML'' and ''SM3DW'', if delisting proposal is successful)


The amount of Power Stars and Star Bits listed after a galaxy is the amount of the corresponding collectibles that is required to unlock the galaxy.

This number correlates with the galaxy's distance from its dome's origin, with smaller numbers being closer and larger numbers farther. It very roughly correlates with how galaxies are listed within the game's [[Star List]]. Galaxies accessed by feeding [[Hungry Luma]]s are not located within domes and are denoted by [[File:SMG2 Asset Sprite UI Hungry Luma.png|14px]]. Trial Galaxies lack numerical designation because they are unlocked concurrently and can be accessed in any order. Three symbols convey attributes about each galaxy: [[File:SMG Asset Sprite UI Power Star.png|15px]] denotes the total number of obtainable [[Power Star]]s; [[File:SMG Asset Model Good Egg Galaxy (Dino Piranha Planet).png|15px]] denotes the total number of reachable areas; and [[File:SMG2 Asset Sprite UI Bowser.png|15px]] denotes the number of boss battles. The name of each mission is accompanied by a symbol that indicates what type of mission it is and the type of Power Star obtained. [[File:smg_icon_powerstar.png|14px]] denotes a normal mission; [[File:smg_icon_grandstar.png|14px]] denotes a [[Grand Star]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_greenstar.png|14px]] denotes a [[Green Star]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_redstar.png|14px]] denotes a [[Red Star]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_speedycomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#Speedy Comet|Speedy Comet]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_daredevilcomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#Daredevil Comet|Daredevil Comet]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_cosmiccomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#Cosmic Comet|Cosmic Comet]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_fastfoecomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#SFast-Foe Comet|Fast-Foe Comet]] mission; [[File:smg_icon_purplecomet.png|14px]] denotes a [[Prankster Comet#Purple Comet|Purple Comet]] mission; and [[File:SMG Asset Sprite LS Secret Star.png|14px]] denotes an intramissionary secret mission.

Prankster Comets are objects which interfere with a Galaxy, giving it an extra attribute. The 30 [[Prankster Comet|comet]] [[Power Star|star]]s are obtained by completing special challenges in the major galaxies, such as speed runs of certain missions, "daredevil" runs (in which Mario is defeated if he takes a single hit), racing cosmic clones of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], and doubling the speed of enemies and obstacles. They only appear after the corresponding regular level (e.g. Ghostly Galaxy's Bouldergeist battle) is completed, sometimes immediately, and at other times, only after another galaxy's level is completed. Prankster Comets appear and disappear every other level completed. After a level is completed while a Prankster Comet is active, all the Prankster Comets are removed until yet another level is beaten. In some cases (like the Space Junk Galaxy), the entire galaxy has to be beaten first. There are two Prankster Comets in each of the 15 major galaxies: one of the comet types just described, plus one [[Prankster Comet#Purple Comet|purple prankster comet]] that appears after beating [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]] for the first time, forcing missions where the player must collect 100 [[Purple Coin]]s.

<references group=note/>
Similar to [[Peach's Castle]] in ''Super Mario 64'' and [[Delfino Plaza]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the [[Comet Observatory]] acts as the game's hub area. There, Mario can access the galaxies from [[dome]]s. New areas in the Comet Observatory become accessible as Mario gains Power Stars and [[Grand Star]]s.

Revision as of 21:53, May 3, 2024

Nintendo101 coverage on other NIWA wikis:
phrog

Nintendo fanatic and enthusiast. (You probably are too if you're looking at this page.) I'm otherwise an artist and an ecologist. Within my field, I specialize in wildlife and (currently, but not exclusively) insects. I've had an account here since 2012.

I wrote the character sections for Super Mario Odyssey. I contributed a lot to the articles for Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy (which is now featured - yay!), and Super Mario Galaxy 2, alongside many other people on this wiki who have contributed their time, energy, and passion to writing about video games.

I have been a fan of Nintendo since a very young age. My first Mario games (and three of the first video games I ever owned) were Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2, Super Mario 64 DS, and Mario Kart DS. These games were good company for a young kid who moved around a lot and had difficulty keeping long-lasting friends.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I sequentially played some of my favorite games in the Super Mario series to 100% completion. This includes, in order, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and Super Mario Odyssey. It's been really fun! These are great games, and I always wanted to marathon a series like this before but never had the time. It has been interesting to see where the series began and where it has ended up. The design philosophies, the characters, the art directions, world building, level design, narrative, etc. All good stuff. It might be fun to write something about it some day.

My favorite video game character is Yoshi.

Garden projects

I draft large-scale projects at User:Nintendo101/garden. Anyone is free to view and comment on it.

Current project focus: Super Mario Odyssey.

Project notes:

  • Bridging with sister games.

For small-scale projects, see User:Nintendo101/flowerpot. These are usually for small articles for minor characters, enemies, and obstacles.

Current project focus: the signboards from the 3D Super Mario games.

Stuff I made that you can use

To-do list

Articles to be made

You're welcome to jump on these if you'd like.

Small articles relevant to one or two games

  1. flipping block, platforms from Tick-Tock Clock in SM64 and NSMB.
  2. metal crate, the pushable stone block from SM64.
  3. Clock hand, the clock-hand platform from Tick-Tock Clock in SM64. Name comes from the MK8D Prima Guide. Originally called "minute hands", which currently redirects to Big Ben.
  4. spinning disc, broad, spinning platforms from SM64.
  5. wobbly platform from SM64. Prism-shaped platforms in lava that tilt under Mario's weight.
  6. wooden beam from SM64. Plank of wood bridges gaps between platforms. In Whomp's Fortress, one can be kicked or punched to fall over.
  7. poster (object) from SMS and SMO. Sprayable wanted poster of Shadow Mario, and wedding-announcement poster that can be struck by Cappy for coins.
  8. tank (Super Mario Sunshine) from Ricco Harbor. Vats that hold fruit. Ground-pounding the top pushes a useable fruit out of its pipe.
  9. window from SMS. Spraying into the open window releases a coin. Currently redirects to Window from Coit Tower.
  10. gate (Super Mario Sunshine) under Pianta Village. Smackable Flip Panel that pushes it along a track.
  11. green panel from SMS. Another Flip Panel. Smacking it rotates it ninety degrees, allowing it be used as a platform.
  12. basket (Super Mario Sunshine) containers in Delfino Plaza. Tossing fruit into one on behalf of fruit vendors awards Mario a Shine Sprite.
  13. boat (Super Mario Sunshine), the gondolas that move through Delfino Plaza. Some are necessary for completing tasks, like bringing Yoshi to a spot he'd otherwise be unable to touch.
  14. mirror (Super Mario Sunshine) from Gelato Beach. Direct light towards the Sand Bird's egg, and tilt under the weight of Plungelos.
  15. Roller Coaster (Super Mario Sunshine) from Pinna Park. Used in the boss battle with Mecha-Bowser and balloon-shooting.
  16. giant fruit from SMG2. Consumable by Yoshi. Pulling it often triggers something significant.
  17. bull's-eye (Super Mario Galaxy 2). Striking the target's center awards Mario with an extra life.
  18. cymbals (Super Mario Galaxy 2) from Cloudy Court Galaxy. Ground-pounding the symbol releases 25 Star Bits.
  19. handle (Super Mario Galaxy 2). Drawer-like platforms temporarily become accessible when Yoshi pulls the handle.
  20. giant grape from SMG2. Bounce Bee Mario in Honeybloom Galaxy.
  21. Star Barrier from SMG2. Roadblocks on the world map.
  22. Cannon (Spike Ball) from SM3DL. Turrets that release Spike Balls. Some pivot.
  23. Bowser Switch from SM3DL. Touching it causes the bridge to collapse and defeats the boss.
  24. view plate from SM3DL. Stepping on this panel shifts the 3D perspective.
  25. glowing spot from SM3DW and SMO. Ground-pounding a shining light on the ground releases a token (Green Star, or Power Moon).
  26. gold P Switch from SM3DW. Releases a flood of coins.
  27. sand statue from SM3DW. Breakable sculptures of Bowser and Goombas.
  28. ? Block tower from SM3DW. Type of Switch Block that creates stacks of Empty Blocks to be used as platforms. Info is currently on the
  29. invisible walkway from SM3DW. The blue, largely obscured platforms from Footlight Lane.
  30. firework bomb from SMO. Released by turrets in Bowser's Kingdom. Called cannonballs in the brochure.
  31. giant seed from SMO. The big seeds that Mario carries over his head.
  32. Block (Super Mario Odyssey). Strong blocks that can only be broken by enemies, like Bullet Bill, Banzai Bill, Chargin' Chuck, Trapbeetle, Sherm, and fireworks bomb (knocked by Pokio). Little similar to the blastable rocks/Cheese Rocks, but not the same. Take on different designs to match the kingdom's topography, but they are usually made of rock. They are metal in Bowser's Kingdom, but a subarea in the Seaside Kingdom that includes Pokio and fireworks bomb replaces these with the stone ones, indicating they are equivalencies.
  33. dove from SMO's Cloud Kingdom. It is clear in the paratext that there are "small birds", and then there is avifauna that are... not those.
  34. dumpster from SMO.
  35. Flower (Spin Throw) from SMO. Successor to stone circles. Separate from normal flowers that are also in the game.
  36. garbage from SMO. Currently a redirect to trash that is used nowhere on the wiki.
  37. knob-like structure from SMO. Includes lampposts, horns, Tail Tree (don't lump - just mention), Jaxi Statue (as before), white spire, iron fence, etc.
  38. plaster wall from SMO. Surfaces ascendable by Pokio.
  39. Rankings Board from SMO. It is called "Ranking Board" in some official paratext, but the sign refers to itself as the "Rankings Board" within in-game dialogue.
  40. red door from SMO. Opens when hit by Cappy. Maybe called "cap door" or "hat door" somewhere.
  41. sword (Super Mario Odyssey) from Ruined Kingdom.
  42. stone wall from SMO. Embedded with fossils, and breakable by Chain Chomps and T-Rexes.


Large articles relevant to multiple games

  1. bone from SMUSA, SML2, SMG, maybe SMBW, and potentially other games. Often either a boardable platform, or a large obstruction. Not related to the projectiles thrown by Dry Bones and some other enemies. "Bone" is currently a disambiguation page, but this one should probably take priority.
  2. fish (environmental object) from SM64, SMS, SMG, SMG2, SM3DL, SM3DW, and SMO. Usually a passive background element, but sometimes more substantially interactable, such as in SMS.
  3. Float from SMW (Floating Island), SM64 (floating wooden platform), SMS (from Noki Bay), SMG (from Deep Dark Galaxy and others), NSMBU (floating crate), and SMO (Cork Float). Platforms that float on the surface of water and gently shift under Mario's weight.
  4. ice from many games. Slippery surface of the snow levels. Currently redirects to Ice, a stage object from Dr. Mario World.
  5. Jet Pipe from SMB3, NSMB, NSMBW, NSMB2, and NSMBU. Underwater pipes that cause a current. Currently redirects to Warp Pipe.
  6. snow from various games. Interactable fallen snow, such as the fluffy snow from Snow Cap Galaxy or the clearable snow from SMO. Snowy blocks from SMBW may be related or the same.
  7. waterfall from SMB3, SMG, and SMG2. Currently redirects to List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Squirtle.

Nomination projects

  • Help bring the following to feature status (high priority):
  1. Super Mario 64
  2. Super Mario Sunshine
  3. Super Mario Galaxy 2
  4. Super Mario Odyssey
  1. Super Mario Bros.
  2. Super Mario Bros. 3
  3. Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
  4. (also SML and SM3DW, if delisting proposal is successful)

Editorial philosophy

This should help contextualize the edits I make or my proposal positions if anything seemed odd to you.

General

  1. Video games have intrinsic value both culturally and artistically. It is meaningful and important to write about them.
  2. Authorial intent is contextually valuable, but the published work should take priority if contradictions arise. See The Death of the Author for more context.
  3. The simplest explanation for something is usually correct.
  4. In lieu of references, I tend to be a lumper.
  5. Knowledge belongs to everyone. While books can be sold, information itself should always be accessible and free.
  6. It is easy for misinformation to enter an official record. It is much harder for it to get out. This is one of the reasons why citations are important.
  7. Perfect is the enemy of good.

Article specific

  1. The articles I work on do not "belong" to me.
  2. Wiki-editing is collaborative and communal.
  3. Unless certain behavior leads me to think otherwise, I always assume good faith of fellow users. I hope they express the same towards me.
  4. Game articles should not just be galleries or lists of a game's contents. They should explain why the game is the way that it is, as that is what I would most want to read about.
  5. I do not assume readers are familiar with a lot of video-game specific language or mechanics, even if very old, established ones.
  6. I try to avoid using language that is somewhat common in gaming but hold specific connotations in other fields or parts of life, such as species, subspecies, spawn, race, mook, etc.
  7. I strive to create more uniformity between the mainline Super Mario articles and my active focus has been the 3D games. One of the components I employ are shared color banners, as similarly done with the Donkey Kong and Yoshi's Island games, and shared chart structures.
  8. Descriptive language should avoid projecting specific behaviors, purposes, or attributes onto the subject that are not substantiated by the game or paratext.
  9. I consult the Japanese release of the Super Mario Encyclopedia (2015) and Mario Portal to delineate contents of the mainline game, but not exclusively. They are not all encompassing and sometimes split subjects that we/I would lump for substantive reasons. For additional details, see here.
