:Ummm... neither of them appear in 3D Games, but i see how that might be true. Spiky must be [[Lakilester]], since when you battle him he's known as Spiky. Both of them re-appear in Super Paper Mario, but only when Mario flips. But that also means every enemy that was remade into SPM must be 3D. Keep in mind that they still have 2D sprites.

I think a mailbag would be a good idea. Now before you respond, read this. First, I don't know if there already is a mailbag here, because I don't keep up to date with all the features of this site, I just read the wiki. If a mailbag is started I would like to be a responder. I googled for a Mario mailbag but all I found was the SMBHQ one, that hasn't been active for years, and the TMK one, which not only hasn't been active since December, but is also a little too strange for my tastes. (I don't really like or look at TMK anyway.) I just want to be a mailbag responder on some kind of Mario mailbag, so I looked here first.

:Because that's how Nintendo of Japan named them. As for why ''they'' did it, it's probably for the same reason anime, manga and other video game characters, items and species (like all the Pokémon) do it - which boils down to emphasis and branding stuff, as far as I know. Lots of the names are also onomatopoeia (like "Nokonoko" and "Patapata") or derived from non-Japanese words (i.e. "Mario", "[[Starlow|Yellow Star]]" and even "Kuppa"), which are the other main uses of katakana. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 19:04, 1 August 2013 (EDT)

I KNOW!: HOW ABOUT TWO CANCELLED MARIO GAMES BASED OF THE DIC TV SHOWS:
JUST LIKE THE STORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF SONIC XTREME WENT:
 
THE STORY BEGINS IN NOA WHEN A FRENCH DEV TEAM WANTS TO MAKE AND USE NINTENDO'S CHARACTERS TO BEAT SEGA'S SONIC CHAR.
KING KOOPA'S KOOL GAME WAS A SEGA GENESIS GAME THAT WAS IN THE WORKS VERY SHORTLY AND SHOWN IN NP MAG 93'/2/19, IT SHOWED BOWSER GOING IN A CITY TURNING PEOPLE OF HOLLYWOOD TO KOOPAS OF KOOPAWOOD IT WAS CANCELLED BECAUSE IT WAS ON SEGA'S CONSOLE. WHY? BOWSER HATES MARIO AND SONIC HATES MARIO, THIS WAS BAD CHEMISTERY.
 
THE NEXT GAME AND FINAL ONE WAS MARIO ALL STARS. NOT THE GAME, BUT BASED OFF THE COMPILATION MARIO TV SERIES. THE GAME FOCUSES ON THE 4 PLAYER TECHNIC THE PLAYERS CONTROL MARIO,LUIGI, TOAD THE PRINCESS AND YOSHI. IT WAS SHOWN AT NINTENDO'S 1993 CHAMPION TOURS AS A PLAYABLE DEMO WITH A STANGE ADAPTER FOR 4 PLAYERS ON SNES SMILAR TO THE NES SATELLITE. IN 1994, THE GAME HAD A FULL ON DEMO TO BRING HOME IT WAS ONLY AVILABLE IN LATIN AMERICA,BRAZIL,FRANCE AND KOREA IT WAS IN THE NINTENDO MAG THEY HAD IN THERE COUNTRY. IN 1995 THE GAME WAS 75% OF COMPLETION AND WAS TIMED OUT OF MAKING THE GAME NINTENDO WAS IMPRESSED AND CANCELLED IT FOR DELAY LIMTATIONS.
 
THE LAST CANNED GAME WAS SUPER MARIO FX THE GAME WE KNOW NOT MUCH ABOUT BUT EXISTS IN HE DEV OF NINTENDO JAPAN THE GAME USED THE GAMES STYLE AND ENGINE FOR GAMEPLAY WITHIN 1995 AND 1996. THEN THE MOMENT CAME THE GAME WAS MOVED TO THE N64. THE CASTLE STILL EXISTS IN THE GAME WREAKING CREW 96' AS A LOST SPRITE FROM THIS GAME BUT MODDED FOR LATEST LOOK.

:Simply because you edit a section named "Oppose", when you click save, your browser takes you to the section named "Oppose", since there may be a proposal before the one you are editing that have another Oppose section, your browser takes you to that section (i.e if you edited the third proposal's oppose section and saved, you will go to the first proposal's oppose section.)--{{User:Dashbot/sig}} 12:38, 20 June 2014 (EDT)
 
== Is this possible ? ==
Is it possible to make pages for fanmade games ? -[[User:Nsmbufan|Nsmbufan]] ([[User talk:Nsmbufan|talk]]) 07:48, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:It's more than possible, but not allowed. If you want to create Fanmade pages, go to Fantendo or something. This is a wiki about facts, not fiction. But hey. at least you asked. - {{User:Ninelevendo/sig}} 07:58, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
:: I meant that game exists, its a Mario game but is not made by Nintendo, but by normal users. -[[User:Nsmbufan|Nsmbufan]] ([[User talk:Nsmbufan|talk]]) 16:49, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
::That's what a fan made game is. A game not officially made or licensed by the real company is usually considered fan made. - {{User:Ninelevendo/sig}} 01:52, 19 July 2014 (EDT)

== Pictures? ==
I noticed some pictures are too big. Is there a way to make them smaller' and if there is' can someone please tell me how? - [[User:Joseph]]
:If you mean images in articles, [[Help:Image|this help page]] should address your issue. If it does not, let me know. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}} 22:45, 18 July 2014 (EDT)
Thanks! You will be added to the user list! See my profile. {{User|Joseph}}
 
And' I still don't get it. Help if you can.{{unsigned|Joseph}}
 
If you want a file to be smaller, you need to put the amount of px in it down. If you want the size to be 100px then it should like <nowiki>[[File:Mk8larry.png|100px]]</nowiki>{{unsigned|Yoshi876}}
 
== Images/Personal images. ==
How do you upload images' and how do you make personal images for your user page? {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:See [[MarioWiki:Personal images]] for personal images, and [[Special:Upload]] to upload an image. Note that you are limited to four images maximum, plus only one additional for your signature.--{{User:Dashbot/sig}} 13:02, 24 July 2014 (EDT)
 
I still don't get it. {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:What step are you stuck in, exactly? {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:14, 24 July 2014 (EDT)
 
 
I want the steps for uploading images and personal images. {{User:Joseph/sig}}
 
:<u>To upload images</u>
:#See the leftmost column?
:#Underneath "tools", click on '''Upload file'''.
:#(recommended) Read what's allowed and what's not allowed.
:#Where "source filename" is, click on the big gray "Browse" button.
:#Find the image you have to upload (.jpg, .png usually, check the permitted file types)
:#Check if the destination file name is correct.
:#In the edit summary, fill in the 1= part. You can simply remove the other parts.<br><br><nowiki>{{aboutfile|1=}}</nowiki>
:#Add <nowiki>{{Personal-image|Joseph}}</nowiki>
:#Select the licensing.
:#Upload.
:#Once the image is uploaded, put the name of the file (File:Image.png) in between brackets [[ ]]. Additional information is found in the upload page.
 
If you have questions, especially about the aboutfile or licensing part, ask me if you can. {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:48, 24 July 2014 (EDT)
 
 
Can you please upload the image:Bowser Card? {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:I don't know what the image is. If it's stored in the computer, you can upload it, and I can do the rest formatting. {{User:Mario/sig}} 16:48, 24 July 2014 (EDT)
 
I don't get the aboutfile part. {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:Just change the variables that are in it to relevant stuff, Subject of the image should be what the image is about, Source is where you found the image, Artist is who made the image, Edited is whether there where any changes made to the image, Other Versions is for alternate versions of that image, say like it's missing some shadow or something. {{User|Yoshi876}}
::A bit late, but you can also delete the variables except for the first one so the others won't display. {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:35, 28 July 2014 (EDT)
 
== Plush images. ==
Am I allowed to upload plush images? {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:Yes you can. We even have [[Gallery:Toys#Plushies|an article of plushies]]. {{User:Mario/sig}} 16:49, 24 July 2014 (EDT)
 
== Real life personal images. ==
Can I upload a personal image that shows real life stuff? Example:my dog. {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:As stated [[MarioWiki:Personal images|here]], the only Personal Images you ''can't'' upload are ones with nudity, blood or violence. So a picture of your dog is perfectly fine. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 11:14, 28 July 2014 (EDT)
 
== Fanon articles for user pages. ==
I know I ask a lot of questions' but I'm new. Anyway' can you make a user page with fanon games? Example: user:Joseph/Mario & luigi:(name) {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:No. As per [[MarioWiki:Userspace|policy]] all user subpages must serve the wiki and seeing as we don't cover fan content it won't serve the wiki. {{User|Yoshi876}}
 
But can I put it on [[User:Joseph|here]]? {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:You are not allowed to have "works of fiction" by policy, though, but that's a pretty vague statement. I think fanon games fall under that statement, but if you're doubting anything, it's safe to not do it. Also, if you want to ask some more questions, try [[MarioWiki talk:FAQ|the FAQ talk page]]. :) {{User:Mario/sig}} 15:26, 28 July 2014 (EDT)
 
== Gif images ==
How do you make gif (animated) images? {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:That's a bit out of scope for this wiki but I'll tell what you need: a dedicated image editor (GIMP or something, NOT MS Paint), layers for separate frames, and exporting the .gif as an animation. That's basically how you do it in a nutshell. I'd go more into detail but I'm mighty busy right now. You can drop a message on my talk page and I can tell you...at least I hope you understand. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 15:47, 29 July 2014 (EDT)
:BTW if you're making gifs from videos, a gif capturing software is better suited since it's much less time consuming than doing it frame by frame {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 15:50, 29 July 2014 (EDT)
 
== Deleting images. ==
How do you delete an image? {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:You can't unless you are granted tools by the will of "administrators" (bureaucrats, the people in purple slobber in the recent changes). To flag it for deletion, however, add {{tem|delete}} in the image page.
:As I said, it's better to use [[MarioWiki talk:FAQ|the official FAQ talk page]] to ask common questions instead of here, but if you have no response, try contacting experienced users instead. {{User:Mario/sig}} 21:14, 29 July 2014 (EDT)
 
== Redirects. ==
How do you make redirects? {{User:Joseph/sig}}
:<pre>#redirect[[Page]]</pre>
:Say for instance, you want to redirect Fat Plumber Dude to [[Mario]]. You'd create an article called Fat Plumber Dude, and this would be its contents:
:<pre>#redirect[[Mario]]</pre>
:As I said, this isn't the place to ask general questions. I've said this the ''third'' time.
:{{User:Mario/sig}} 23:35, 8 August 2014 (EDT)
I put a question where you said' please answer. {{User:Joseph/sig}}
 
:Try learning by example by simply exploring, editing and copying what you find, rather than incessantly asking us to spoonfeed you every last simple little thing. Sorry, but it ''is'' getting tiresome. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:41, 9 August 2014 (EDT)
 
== Possibily add ==
Now that we have the rumors page, do you think its link could be added at the main page? {{User:Tsunami/sig}}
:It's not that important. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 15:02, 17 August 2014 (EDT)
 
== How do you sign up for the 'Shroom? ==
I want to write a monthly section ("From the Mushroom Vaults") for the 'Shroom. I've gone to [[The 'Shroom:Sign up|this page]], but it did not tell me exactly ''how'' to sign up. Could anyone help? (If this is the wrong place to ask, please tell me.) [[User:Andyni|Andyni]], 6:16 PM EST, 14 November 2014
:You get yourself a forum account on our [http://www.marioboards.com/ forum] then you send a private message to your appropriate director, in your case [http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?action=profile;u=11 this bloke].

== News Date Mix-up ==
May I ask why a November news segment is above a December news segment?  With out an answer I feel Captain Toad is getting slighted. [[User:Warioad|Warioad]] ([[User talk:Warioad|talk]]) 18:28, 14 December 2014 (EST)
 
:''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' was released in Japan on December 6, therefore it gets the top spot until something else comes out or ''Captain Toad'' is released in Europe.
 
:-[[User:Toa 95|Toa 95]] ([[User talk:Toa 95|talk]])
::Thank you. I didn't notice the Japanese release date because I just assumed it was the same news put back on top. [[User:Warioad|Warioad]] ([[User talk:Warioad|talk]]) 16:14, 15 December 2014 (EST)
 
== Did you know ==
Uh.... [[Mario Kart DS]] says what console it's for too. Someone please add. {{User:Joseph/sig}}
 
:It may use that generic system of naming like most games but that point refers to games that use the full title of the console in their name, which in that case would be "Nintendo DS", not just "DS"
 
:-[[User:Toa 95|Toa 95]] ([[User talk:Toa 95|talk]])
 
''Mario Kart DS'' is on the front page of the Wiki under ''Did You Know?'' as games with consoles in their name anyway, if that is what you are referring to. By the way, I agree with Toa 95; the front page should be changed. [[User:Andymii|Andymii]] ([[User talk:Andymii|talk]]) 16:47, 7 January 2015 (EST)
 
== 'Shroom front page minor error ==
Of the home page of the wiki, the link to the 'Shroom says the next issue is on December 20th, 2014, a date that is obviously passed. This is a minor error, but still an error nonetheless, so someone should change it. [[User:Andymii|Andymii]] ([[User talk:Andymii|talk]]) 16:44, 7 January 2015 (EST)
 
==Typo==
On the Did you know? section, in the Paper mario part it says "a occurs glitch" instead of "a glitch occurs". Can somebody fix that? Thanks.{{User:57sugoi/sig}} 09:57, 10 January 2015 (EST)
 
I am not an admin, but it does appear to be fixed by now. [[User:Andymii|Andymii]] ([[User talk:Andymii|talk]]) 16:38, 10 January 2015 (EST)

The News section currently says that Club Nintendo "will be discontinued in all regions on September 30, 2015". This is incorrect.

==Wrong romanization==
Today's "Did You Know?" column gives pinyin for the Chinese characters "[[wiktionary:四|四]]" and "[[wiktionary:死|死]]", but the accents are wrong.

[[User:Another gossip-loving Toad|Another gossip-loving Toad]] ([[User talk:Another gossip-loving Toad|talk]]) 07:59, 24 January 2015 (EST)

=='Shroom New Idea==
I have an idea for a new section of the 'Shroom. Basically, I am thinking of an article that wraps up what happened on the wiki during the last month, such as passed/failed proposals, created articles, non-wiki ''Mario'' news, and other noteworthy things (the 'Shroom ''is'' a newspaper after all!) If I want to create this section, who should I contact? [[User:Andymii|Andymii]] ([[User talk:Andymii|talk]]) 10:08, 24 January 2015 (EST)


== Subject/headline ==
:Look here: [[The 'Shroom:Sign up]]. Pipe Plaza covers community stuff (but apparently someone's already writing that section); dunno about ''Mario'' news in general - usually that just goes in the news feed on the wiki's main page. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 17:37, 24 January 2015 (EST)
::Your idea would fall under Pipe Plaza, which is run by myself, so PM me on the Boards if you want. We have a section like that, Community Report, which details wiki policy updates and proposals (as well as TPPs), it just hasn't been in lately. Monthly Report sort of covers created articles, though it doesn't name them, just saying that our content has increased. With the news part, it has to be strictly ''Mario'', unless you want to offer First Impressions on games, in which case contact [http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?action=profile;u=169 Dippy]. Upcoming Games also covers news, so contact our current [http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?action=profile;u=911 director] for that. {{User|Yoshi876}}


(new section)
Community Report is already taken by Driftmaster130, so I guess I'll take some time and find something else. {{User|Andymii}}

== 'Shroom New Idea (continued) ==
I have always wanted to give an in-depth analysis and test the legitimacy of [http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7WMSQNVhMqA this] popular video (and it's sequel) made a little more than a year ago. However, the potential article does not fit in any categories, and will most likely be a one-time submission. Many it could go under a main section or a guest section. I will need to get it approved by [[User:Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Bros.]] first, though. [[User:Andymii|Andymii]] ([[User talk:Andymii|talk]]) 16:44, 25 January 2015 (EST)

== Second Person? ==
How formal is this wiki? Is second person acceptable or should every article be in third person? I've seen several uses of the word ''you'' in articles, and I just want to know if this should be changed or not. --[[User:J-Yoshi64|J-Yoshi64]] ([[User talk:J-Yoshi64|talk]]) 23:11, 6 February 2015 (EST)
:This wiki should use formal and standard writing, third person writing whenever possible since we strive for professionalism. If there are cases of second person usage, they are either added by an inexperienced editor, a quote, or part of in-game description. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 23:13, 6 February 2015 (EST)


== Subject/headline ==
== Fun Facts Possible Error ==
One of the facts is that the only ''Super Mario'' game where Wario appears is ''Super Mario 64 DS''. This appears to be false, because what about ''Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land''? Should I fix this possible error? [[User:Andymii|Andymii]] ([[User talk:Andymii|talk]]) 16:15, 7 February 2015 (EST)
:The ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series refers strictly to the games in the "main" line of games (Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros, etc.), while SML3 is part of the ''[[Super Mario Land (series)|Super Mario Land]]'' series, a subdivision of the main series that wouldn't be included otherwise. It's a bit misleading, but still correct. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:Okay, thanks. In that case, I will not change anything. [[User:Andymii|Andymii]] ([[User talk:Andymii|talk]])

I was looking through the Blocked Users page (because I got bored and decided to look around) and... Jeez. Feel free to ban me for this if you feel the need, but I feel like something needs to be said.


== Subject/headline ==
THIS IS A FAMILY-FRIENDLY WIKI! Please, try to keep it clean just like how the Mario games themselves are. Please refrain from spouting inappropriate language through both your user name and the wiki articles.
And it seems like you "spammers" and" trollers" just don't try at all! Constantly doing so WILL get you banned regardless of how sneaky or obvious you make your edits.
I could care less if you guys have fun doing all that spamming, but it's not fun for anyone viewing the wiki. And imagine the strain you put on the moderators and wiki owners as well! They're trying their hardest to make this place accessible to all ages and anyone who wants to view it, and you guys are just making plain difficult.
