Talk:Captain Rainbow

Character articles

Should we have articles about characters not from the Mario series? I don't think so, at least not now. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:05, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

According to MarioWiki:Importance Policy, those characters could have articles as a part of the Tertiary Focus with Captain Rainbow-only info, but yeah, I'm not sure if we should make them right now. I don't really see why we can't, though. YELLOWYOSHI398

Just a small question but where did we decide that we would be allowing this game as an article? Paper Jorge (Talk·Contribs)

Uh... Cobold? About the having articles about characters not from the Mario series... *glares at Sonic, Roy, Ike, Pikachu, and practically everybody not from Mario in the SSB series* Marcelagus (T • C • E)

There is a difference. The Mario series is quite important in the Smash Bros. series and in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. It's not important at all here. Compare this article to the show Captain N: The Game Master - we have an article on it because of Donkey Kong's role in it, but we don't cover it completely because the Mario part isn't big enough. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:43, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

It,s a bit early to tell how much Mario actually play part in the game. And frankly, I think we're giving way too much focus to SSB, I don't think it's a good example. Blitzwing (talk · gnome work)

I agree that these rules are somewhat contradicting, they are quite outdated. When they were written SSB was the only crossover game. With new creations like Itadaki Street DS and Mario & Sonic, they should have been revised. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:54, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

What do you suggest? Should we just get rid of the character articles for Super smash bros? And put the series itself into "Appearances in other games"? And Tetris DS, and all of those "Mario's-not-important-games"? Because personally, I don't think the Comic and TV series are very genuine Mario either. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

Anyone know her?

Would anyone happen to know who Tracy is from the newest Captain Rainbow trailer? I've checked and checked but all that comes up on Google is the Dick Tracy game for NES... http://youtube.com/watch?v=-OaeldV8JOA Mat rix 007 14:44, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

Hey I thought Birdo was married to Yoshi!! Bad Birdo...she and Yoshi will have to divorce. Yoshi should marry Goombella. Georgedrake Z

Nobody was married. What does this have to do with the article? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:20, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

as people have said before, like Yohi's-There could be more than 1 Birdo, like ones that shoot eggs and ones that shoot fire...(User Page

New Screenshots

Some new screenshots recently appeared on the Japanese Amazon website. The Mario series relevant ones are these two shots:

Birdo captured in a cage, as already seen in the second trailer.

I don't really know. Seems to be some sort of duel between Captain Rainbow and that shadowy being. I guess that Birdo has a cheering role. Note the many rabbit-like creatures, who seem to appear very often in the game. --Grandy02 09:30, 5 August 2008 (EDT)

Story Section

This talk page or section has a conflict or a question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

The story section is going to be a listing of the roles and wishes of all the (Mario-unrelated) characters instead of a general overview. I think this should be managed different. What would you think about making a list/table of the guest characters with name, game, picture and a short description, including the respective wish, similar to the tables in the Smash Bros. and Assist Trophy articles? The roles of Mario beings (currently only Birdo and Piranha Plant), of course, deserve detailed descriptions. Or would you even rather completely leave out the roles of non-Mario characters? --Grandy02 14:10, 6 August 2008 (EDT)
