-**Managed a spectacular Time Attack run at [[GBA Rainbow Road]], and while it'd be tricky to export the replay, I'm certain it has to be close to whatever the WR is.
+**Managed a spectacular 0:53.85 Time Attack run at [[GBA Rainbow Road]]. Much later turned out the WR was 0:34.91.
 **Came back from 40sec behind to win in a 5-lap VS Race on [[GBA Sky Garden]] in a self-imposed challenge.
 *[[Mario Kart DS]]: Set up a 32-race VS Race cup at 150cc with Hard CPU, and won all 32 races.

 ==To-do==
+Mario Wiki seems to rely far more on Archive pages than e.g. Sims Wikia and PCSX2 Wiki (among many others I've edited on), so I'll make an archive page for To-Do resolved plans ("Done deals"): [[User:DandelionSprout/To-Do done deals]]
+Additionally, speed-up tables for [[Template:Foreign names]] can be found at [[User:DandelionSprout/Ideal Foreign Name tables]].

-*<s>Make [[GoödFeël]] a redirect to [[Good-Feel]] if no one objects to it.</s>
+*<s>I'd say there's a fair few features in the demo that would warrant a subsection in [[Princess Peach: Showtime!#Development]] :</s>
-*<s>Upload and add a track layout comparison image for [[Wario Stadium (MKDS)]], though it'd have to be placed in a part of the page where it wouldn't stick out too much.</s>
+**<s>[[Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids]] and [[Cowgirl in the Wilderness]] has their doors fenced off with tied ropes. No such ropes are used at any point in the full game.</s>
-*I'd say there's a fair few features in the demo that would warrant a subsection in [[Princess Peach: Showtime!#Development]] :
+**<s>The demo's intro menu has "Start" and "[[Nintendo eShop]]" options, while the full game only has "Press {{button|switch|A}}".</s>
-**<s>Demo save data are '''not''' carried over to the full version. I know quite a lot of non-wiki players, me included at the time, wondered about it.</s>
+**<s>The 3 leftmost {{button|switch|Plus}}-menu options cannot be selected.</s>

-*<s>Add a "Controls" section to [[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]. Make mention of how only 4 buttons are ever used in the entire game, and that {{button|switch|X}} and {{button|switch|Y}} are never used at any point. Control instructions reflect the {{button|switch|A}}/{{button|switch|B}} setting.</s>
-*<s>Take a screenshot for sideways [[Sparkle]]. If there's one chance I've got to make myself "in" on the wiki, this is a good chance.</s>
-**<s>Sparkle quotes: "Fantastic.", "Lovely."</s>
-*<s>Game runs 720p, both docked and handheld. Framerate approximately 30fps.</s>
-*<s>[[The Castle of Thorns]] cannot be left during the first time the play is performed. Closing the game mid-level, will make the game resume from the [[Toad]] "I've got the tickets" moment.</s>
-*<s>[[Heart]] Charm increases HP from 5→8 with no negative effects, but the extra hearts are shown in green.</s>
-===7 April 2024===
-*<s>Latin letters font comparison: Regular vs Korean vs Republic of China.</s>
-**<s>Create a new [[:Category:Comparison images]] for these kinds of images.</s>
-*<s>Add pages: [[Lobby Shop]]</s>
-===8 April 2024===
-*<s>Add descriptions of the shapes of [[Figure Skater Peach]], for the benefit of colourblind players.</s>
-*<s>Take Elgato screenshots for: [[Lobby Shop]]</s>
-*<s>Attempt a futile layout comparison for [[GBA Sky Garden]], whose MK8DX layout is so different as to be all but unrecognisable.</s>
-===9 April 2024===
-*<s>Sparkle Peach "Ran out of hearts" quotes: "No way.", "Oh no."</s>
-*<s>Get a screenshot of Peach's de facto blue dress during transformations.</s>
-*<s>Add pages: [[Sour Bunch Figure Skater]] (I still doubt that "Figure skater" could possibly be his official name, but sure), who of course happens to be moderately popular on Tumblr. One album photo exists of him, but I need pose screenshots from the second ice level as well.</s>
 ===10 April 2024===
 *Add full (though only with non-existing rows) [[User:DandelionSprout/Ideal Foreign Name tables|translation tables]] to relevant pages that don't already have full tables, because, sure, it can't hurt. The changelogs of [[User:Mariuigi Khed]] in particular inspired me to add this on my to-do list.
-===11 April 2024===
-*<s>Do a 5.1 surround test of Peach Showtime. Depending on how far down Yamaha receivers allow me to reduce dB offsets of the front speakers, it shouldn't be ''too'' hard to do.</s>
-*<s>Test more games for native surround. Let's say, [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]], [[Mario Kart 8]], [[Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]], [[New Super Mario Bros. U]] Wii U Edition, [[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]], [[Paper Mario: Color Splash]], [[Paper Mario: The Origami King]], and a few others I could have.</s>
-===13 April 2024===
-*<s>I know there's at least one in-play area where Peach can also slide down stairs. Maybe the second Swordfighter level? Perchance.</s>
-**<s>Maybe [[The Castle of Thorns]]? It has stairs of *some* kind.</s>
-===16 April 2024===
-*<s>Screenshot of [[Sparkle]] upwards attack, seemingly only possible in boss fights.</s>
-*<s>I remember JPN ruby top characters have been wished for in regards to Peach Showtime in particular, presumably (but not certain on) level names.</s>
-*Music names for PPS levels seem desired, but I only personally want to add them if the stages only really have one song each.
-*<s>Attempt to get an MP4 or WebM footage of Sparkle Peach dancing in levels. I'm not super-happy with GIF either nowadays.</s>
 ===20 April 2024===
 I think I've got the core stuff for PPS done. Anything remaining at all would be the last 5 levels' pages, which I can only hope goes well.
-*<s>Perhaps add notes that PPS (and [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)]] uses more advanced Japanese writing than [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]] and [[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]? The formers use Kanji to an extent, the latters use kana '''only'''.</s>
-*The visible title differences I could find between Parisian and Montréalian French could be counted on 1 hand ([[Lobby Shop]], [[Strike of Intuition]], [[It's Showtime, Grape!]]), and [[User:Jdtendo]] would be likely to handle any further ones.
-*<s>I presume comparisons between the microgames in [[Gamer]] (& Wario) contra earlier/later WarioWare games have been done almost a decade ago, but I feel curious enough to doublecheck.</s>
-*<s>Info on "3 vs 4" minimum VS Mode cups in [[Mario Kart 8]] contra [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]].</s>
 *Test rumble support for games that have "Technical aspects" paragraphs. While it's certain to say that ''all'' such games have rumble, I very faintly guess that it's good to have on the record.
+**<s>Wasn't Super Mario Advance 4 advertised with and sort-of proven to have [[Game Boy Player]] rumble?</s>

-*<s>Although it's ended up controversial by the dozen on wikis I've been on before, whether it actually went splendidly, if minimodders thought I couldn't hold a spoon right, or if access was very hardlocked to "Admins only", it'd be within my skill scope to set up an AutoWikiBrowser trial run on Mario Wiki to convert <code><nowiki>([\=]|//|\s{0,})http://(www\.|m\.)?youtube\.com/</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>$1https://www.youtube.com/</nowiki></code> Starting it very simple with one single type of conversion, and extraordinarily safeguarded to not convert Wayback Machine.</s>

 *Mass-utilizing [[Template:Cite]], as it seems to be a near-verbatim equivalent to Wikipedia's Cite Web, seems to be a possibly great move, but would be practically impossible to do on a large scale.

 *Due to a total lack of any other plausible options, the icon for a [[Stella ribbon]] page would be the one from the top of her wardrobe menu, with the round red-black circle being extended to a square to avoid any PaintNET wand transparency issues.
 **I am '''NOT''' touching any ZIPs from those psychos at The Models Resource ever again, if it's a matter of life and death. Their guides are just "Use Blender, lol, lmao", and Blender is the most evil software ever made.

-*Make pages for, if time permits: [[Professor Theet]] (a.k.a. [[Professor (Princess Peach: Showtime!)]] ?), [[Alarm]] (incl. those of [[Game & Watch]] devices, [[Game & Watch Collection]], [[Alarm Clock (souvenir)]], [[Mario Clock]], likely more)
+*<s>Make pages for, if time permits: [[Alarm (function)]], incl.:</s>
-*Find a way to icon-ize certain [[Sparkle Gem]]s' rows on levels' pages, to show that they are unavoidable to obtain in regular gameplay. As it happens, I have a theory to research, which holds that it's not humanly possible to ''not'' have enough gems to give [[Stella]] for [[Disco Wing]] and [[Light Fang]] in particular.

-*<s>Make [[Memory card]] and [[Block (measurement)]] redirects to [[Memory Card]].</s>
+*Add more info about the whereabouts and phrases of the Hat Man (i.e. "Ribboner") to [[Sparkle Theater#1F|1F]] and 2F levels.
-*<s>Record the [[WarioWare Snapped]] menu sound with AUX.</s>
+*<s>One of the sillier things I've thought of, but what would happen if SD cards were inserted into Nintendo consoles while the cards' infamous write-lock slider was set to On?</s>
-*<s>On the [[Memory Card]] page, mention in passing how Wii U and Switch transitioned to gigabytes.</s>
+**Turns out my new Wii U PSU has been stuck in transit for two weeks now, on a mere 500km domestic van route.

-*See what the [[Darkle Boss: Light Fang]] reads like '''without''' having saved [[Swordfighter Sparkla]] first. I've got one shot (to read its text). One opportunity.
+===7 May 2024===
-*Check what the [[Block (measurement)|block]] size on [[Nintendo DSi]] is.
+*The stair physics in Peach Showtime's Sparkle Theater seem… strange at best.
-*Check filesizes for Wii savefiles that I have on my Wii U. Potentially [[WiiWare]] game sizes too, but the former is more important.
+*Get an AWebP of Hat Man dancing.
-*<s>Add one of Wikimedia Commons' open-source photos of SD cards for the [[Memory Card]] page.</s>
+*<s>It's been some 7 weeks now, so it's time to search for glitches people have found in Peach Showtime. I hope the glitches are glorious.</s>
-*I know The Cutting Room Floor in particular have wanted to cross-test 1DS vs eShop for [[WarioWare: Touched!]]. I happen to have them both, and the devices they were designed for, and can cross-test them in real time.
+*<s>Add info to [[Stella ribbon]] about how the ribbons make up a large percentage of her visible body (I think it's a body, at least?).</s>
+**<s>I've got no proof at all in my theory that Stella has no body below her head; as such I cannot add info on that specifically.</s>
+*<s>Add a link on [[Sparkle Theater]] to [[Stella ribbon]].</s>
+*<s>Add a "Cards" gallery subsection on [[E-Reader]], considering how hard it is to find info on those cards anywhere else on the internet.</s>
+*<s>Test SMA4 rumble support on Wii U.</s>

+*Somehow add info on the legendarily narrow LAN network drivers that appear to be the same across Wii, Wii U, and Switch.
+*Add info on Switch's fairly poor support for USB-C headsets as well.

+*<s>I've learned enough about [[Agent]] Theets that a(n admittedly very short) page could be created for the PPS infobox's sake.</s>
+*[[Sour Thieves]] are flying round robots with helicopting, who do not look like Sour Bunch at all. They are primarily associated with [[The Perfect Infiltration]].
+*<s>Compare PPS transformations' jump heights.</s>
+*[[Figure Skater Peach]] can make non-skater Theets spin around, including the Hat Man.
+*Peach can only move in eight directions and has no sneaking speeds by default.
