Trivia is long

It is. Shouldn't the minigame puns be somewhere else?User:Mechayoshi

Mario Party 8

Some of this just seems like fan dreams. Pauline? I'm fixing this up for now, but uhh. Feel free to correct me. Evan

I have seen no evidence of a Mario Party 8 (yet) where is this info coming from? -- Sir Grodus

It has been confirmed now that there will be a Mario Party 8 in 2007. It's even at IGN! Paper Jorge ( Talk·Contributions·) Paper Jorge was here at... 19:34, 18 September 2006 (EDT)

Blooper?

Confirmed? Proof? Paper Jorge

I just got my issue of NP today. That's what it said. Phoenix Rider

Boxart

The boxart was found at GameFly.com. Paper Jorge

[1] I'm confused. Are names supposed to be linked once in the article and once in a pic? --Yoshi626File:Egg.PNG 23:21, 2 January 2007 (EST)

Names are only supposed to be linked once in the whole article. Paper Jorge

But what about this? Donkey Kong is linked twice. --Yoshi626File:Egg.PNG 18:27, 3 January 2007 (EST)

• Yea Game and Character. There different. WarioLoaf (talk)
  • Why would this apply to characters, but not games? --Yoshi626File:Egg.PNG 15:19, 4 January 2007 (EST)

Blooper's Appearance

Does anybody know if blooper appearance will be the standard blooper pictured in the blooper article or gooper blooper?I Hope It's the standard blooper.--Fg 18:56, 16 January 2007 (EST)

Currently it's a normal Blooper. Paper Jorge

Yoshi Pic

Could somebody please add a pic of Yoshi, there is just about everyone except him. YoshiFan 23:42, 3 February 2007 (EST) A Yoshi-loving user

What about Blooper, Hammer Bro, Dry Bones, and Birdo. There aren't any pics for them either.-- Aipom --

I always thought that this was the Yoshi art... --YellowYoshi398 23:50, 3 February 2007 (EST)

Well, I did not know about it. YoshiFan 23:53, 3 February 2007 (EST) A confused fan of Yoshi.

I can't say that I'm even sure right now... I'm pretty sure that image was referred to as the Yoshi art when it was in use, but I've also noticed that it's on that Nintendo Monopoly board, which came out two years ago. Mario Party 8 still isn't even out yet, which gives me doubts... Paper Jorge uploaded it; maybe he knows. --YellowYoshi398 23:59, 3 February 2007 (EST)

Never mind. He must know; he's added it to the article. Thanks, Paper Jorge! --YellowYoshi398 00:00, 4 February 2007 (EST)

The pic was a scan out of a Mario Party 8 section...File:Mayor.gifPaper Jorge

Candy Names!

I heard from a website (once again, forgot. Sorry!) that the Vampire and Airplane candies were called Wingo and Whirlo candies, respectfully. Should I add those names or wait until it's confirmed? User: Maxlover2

Wait, as you can't site a source. -- Son of Suns

Sorry!

It's confired! It says so in Nintendo Power. File:Mayor.gifPaper Jorge

confired? what's that? Maxlover2 20:22, 19 February 2007 (EST) I'm confused. really. did you mean confirmed?

Yeah, I think he did.Smileymiley5001

Character Artwork

Does anybody know where they got the artwork for the characters in mario party 8, and why didn't you add birdo, dry bones,hammer bro., blooper?--Fg 16:22, 15 February 2007 (EST)

My guess is because they're unlockable, and Nintendo doesn't release artwork of unlockable characters. Phoenix Rider

But, it shows Birdo and Dry Bones in the character selection screen in a movie on YouTube. YoshiFan

Regardless, where did those images come from? --Stumpers

I said Nintendo doesn't release artwork of unlockable characters. Youtube lets anything on. Phoenix Rider

Actually, your wrong Monty Mole. In Mario Kart DS, they released artwork for every character, including unlockable ones. How about Super Smash Bros. and Melee, StarFox Command, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, and I'm sure theres more. However, I do not think that there is artwork for MP8. Possibly though. And yes, I would like to know where you got the artwork. --Bentendo 17:11, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Wait a minute! i saw on wikipedia on the Mario Party 8 page they showed the character selection and it had Birdo and Dry Bones there and two ? marks for Blooper and Hammer Bro! (P.S They have deleted it for some reason. By the way my username is [Super Yoshi 10])

Mario Party 8 Gets a Make-over

There is a new version of the boxart of Mario Party 8. Go to your nearest GameStop or EB Games to see it: It has only Mario and Luigi with the carnival background. No other characters. Dang, and you thought the old boxart was bad? Silent but deadly! SuperLuigi821 You lost everything. Way to go genious.

Umm...anyone care to find the newboxart? Silent but deadly! SuperLuigi821 You lost everything. Way to go genious.

• Dang, I can't find the new box art anywhere...are you sure it's official? I bet it's just store made... User: Fixitup

No idea if it's storemade but you can find it at EB Games/Gamespot. Silent but deadly! SuperLuigi821 You lost everything. Way to go genious.

Sorry

Samantha Kelly acted as Peach for this game. (And maybe Toad and Toadette but this uncomfirmed.)Princess Butterfly 15:29, 17 November 2007 (EST)

May I have some proof, please. My Bloody Valentine

Team Names

Are they really neccesary? My Bloody Valentine

The only way I'd include them is a table, I've tried to implement one, but there are just too many characters. So I don't really see a place for them. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 06:25, 21 November 2007 (EST)

I mean, do they really have to be here at all? My Bloody Valentine

That's what I was saying: Either as a table, or not at all. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 06:27, 21 November 2007 (EST)

Oh, OK. I think we should get more opinions before we remove the list. My Bloody Valentine

Yes, they are nessecary because for me, they are a very important part of the game. Even more important than the Star Battle. Yeah. All I do is Tag Mode with my friends. Smileymiley5001 P.S. I mean this with no offense at all.

Proof

At then end of Mario party 8 when the credits roll the person whom play as Peach it show Sam Kelly I didn't see Ms. Mills. Princess Butterfly 15:19, 24 November 2007 (EST)

I agree 'bout the table the teams names would look better in a table. Princess Butterfly 16:06, 25 November 2007 (EST)

Needs Improvements

Maybe it's just me, but this whole article sounded more like an opinional review with terms like "cool new boards" and such; but I fixed the most noticable problems there. The problem is, the article needs to be overlooked and tweaked. I found little errors everywhere, such as the use of 'you' instead of 'player' and incomplete sentences. It isn't that bad, but for how long the game's been out, someone should overlook this and do minor edits here and there. I do not own the game and don't want to do anymore than I have to. General Kelt

I actually gotta agree. Palkia47 I don't have the game either. And I don't wanna do it, since I just got into a "Flame War" someplace, so I'm kinda feeling bad...

Hope you feel better bud. Remember, it's just on online fight with someone sitting at their computer and shouldn't be capable of hurting you in any way, even if it does cause emotional pain. General Kelt

Good point. Palkia47 Thanks.

Fact or Opinion?

In this sentence: "The game is more notable than its prequels for its strong use of the Wii Remote in minigames.", is that a fact or an opinion? Palkia47

That seems like more of a fact because it explains why it would be more notable. MisterJaffffey G0 Mario Party 8

Candy Names

Hello. I just wanted to ask if Thrice is a real word. For example "Thrice Candy" Is in the game. Answers Please! User:Mariofan459 11:00, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Yes, though it's dated. Time Questions 11:20, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Critical Reception Section?

Is that really necessary?

Ray Trace^(T|C)

I don't think many other articles on here have one, so I don't think it is. --Turkishcoffee 01:47, 5 April 2010 (EDT)

I do think so. Such sections fit perfectly into an encyclopedia. Time Questions 06:20, 5 April 2010 (EDT)

It's always good to have "real world" information about a game, including development and reception. More articles would need that. At least four of the featured game articles have a reception section. But the bad about this article's section is that I don't see any citations. --Grandy02 07:12, 5 April 2010 (EDT)

Both of those are really good points. --Turkishcoffee 08:12, 5 April 2010 (EDT)

Puns

Why do we have a puns section? I thought it was the minigame section at first >:( I think its completly irrelevant. To put it in a polite way, I don't think many people care about puns. Boo der dash

Actually, the puns section probably shouldn't be there since each mini-game page states what the game name pun is. =/ Garlic Stapler (talk)

But do people want to go to each mini-game page to see it? No. Besides, it's trivia. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

It's Trivia for the individual mini-games though, not the game in general. We don't list the name origins of areas & enemies and whatnot in other game articles either, even if they're puns, and it seems rational to me to expect someone to visit a subject's article if they want to know details like this about the subject.--vellidragon 18:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

It should be because it's trivia about the minigames. That's my point of view anyway. Smileymiley5001

I'd like to point out that very few of the listed entries are actually puns. Most of them are simply references and double entendres. Twentydragon 06:50, 10 December 2011 (EST)

Team name chart

Is there any way to fix the team name chart so it doesn't expand the page width? Yoshiwaker
