So... Why does this have a page? It doesn't seem to be relevant to the Mario series at all. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 21:28, February 22, 2020 (EST)

I think it's because of the inclusion of Mario's Cement Factory but without Mario characters and the fact that it's a precursor to the G&WG series. But I'm not so sure even those should justify an article. Mario JC 22:31, February 22, 2020 (EST)

I don't think being a precursor to Game & Watch Gallery makes it worthy of an article given our lessening coverage of it, and neither does having a Mario game stripped entirely of its Mario elements. That being said, is there any other precedent for a "reverse Doki Doki Panic" situation? -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 22:46, February 22, 2020 (EST)

There's also the bit about how this version of Flagman is essentially the same as Flagman DD from Wario Land 2. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:11, February 22, 2020 (EST)

I don't find that particularly convincing when we don't even have an article for the original version of Flagman anymore. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 13:30, February 23, 2020 (EST)

Simply put, this page doesn't have a place here anymore. While it is a precursor to the Game & Watch Gallery games, we've heavily trimmed down our coverage of that series' non-Mario content. There are only two vaguely Mario-related connections in this game. First, it has Mario's Cement Factory, except renamed to just Cement Factory and stripped of all of its Mario elements, a sort of reverse Doki Doki Panic situation if you will. Second, Flagman D.D. in Wario Land II is essentially the same as this game's version of Flagman, some graphics aside, but we also don't have an article for the original version of Flagman anymore so I don't see that as a reason to keep this around.

If the loopy and long-winded last trivia point on the page is anything to go by, this isn't so much a "precursor" to G&WG than the actual first game of it, which is more than, say, Golf has for the Mario Golf series, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe to the Super Mario Advance series, and Donkey Kong Game Boy to the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series, which are considered precursors of those series (or at least the respective first game). Then again, I may have misunderstood said trivia point, as again, it's not well-written. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:15, March 13, 2020 (EDT)
