Revision as of 01:33, June 1, 2016
Mentioning the difficulty
Why has my edit regarding the difficulty and unfair advantage of the AI been reverted? It has every right to be there. This site gets away with mentioning all sorts of other trivia, and lots of other Wikis do the same thing with difficult levels of games. No sane person would dare say that this mini-game is easy to beat on single-player. Nintendo released a protective glove for all the people who hurt their hands playing this game. And there's no doubt that this mini-game was one of the reasons why they hurt their hands to begin with. Just try and beat it by yourself. And even if you did, there's no way that you don't feel a little stressed from spinning that control stick over and over. EldritchNexus (talk) 23:48, 31 May 2016 (EDT)
- It was removed because your wording of it is opinionated. I understand you and many others may think it's "frustrating" and "absurd", but you can't use words like those and flat-out say how difficult the minigame is, even if it's the common opinion.

- Most may consider it difficult, but others may think it easy or just don't care. Opinions don't exactly fly on the wikis, even if it's a collective opinion. The wiki is meant to show information about the subject with little to no acknowledgement to the fanbase (don't quote me on that), just simply give information about the subject as is. Same thing with tips and strategies; that's not what this wiki is meant for. We understand you're trying to help (believe me, I pretty much went through the same thing. Still kinda am...), but this sort of information is not suited to the wiki. The "Trivia" section is normally meant for little quirks commonly unnoticeable, or bits of info that don't fit into a category. It's not meant for opinions or tips. See here if you want some more info.

- If this page is turning into a high traffic one (if that's what you call it) how about I get a Sysop to protect this page.
