Okay. I just saw that it said that ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island]]'' is the first game in the series, and certain other games take place after certain other games (and not just sorted by release date), so I thought you were trying to establish said timeline. Also, to that extent, I thought it would be applicable on ''this'' page for the same reason - that there is no canon and so there is no timeline. Sorry about that.

=="Direct sequels"== | |||
{{talk}} | |||
The "direct sequels" section of this policy seems pretty outdated and not actually followed, nor do I think it should be followed. It states that Mario Land and Mario Land 2 both being part of the Super Mario Land series means their information is to be next to each other and separated from games like SMB3, but we merged the Super Mario Land series page with the Super Mario series page a while ago, and over on [[history of Mario]], SMB3 is between the Land games in the Super Mario series section without seeming to cause much harm. Similarly, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is placed between the Galaxy games. I'm not really sure what the benefit would be anyway of ensuring sequels are always put next to each other, especially since the only criteria for deciding whether it's a "direct" sequel or not appears to be the story, and this very policy asserts that "the section order itself cannot be changed to reflect the chronology". So I propose we just get rid of that "Direct sequels" section. <small>Also I can't help but mention "sequentially released games like Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!" what is this Super Circuit erasure</small> {{User:Hewer/sig}} 11:08, May 12, 2024 (EDT) | |||
