RULES Standard Template:Color-link-piped apply, of course. No spamming, trolling, vandalizing, removing comments, etc. Please follow the rules, your comment will get removed otherwise. You don't have to sign your comments here, but it'll make it easier for me to get back to you if you do. No swearing or obscenity. These words will get edited out ASAP. Please don't ask why I reverted or corrected your edit. Usually, I have a good reason and can back it up. Take a look at Template:Color-link-piped or the page history for more information regarding your edit, if available. If you must, you can ask for clarification, but only if you provide more than "Why did you delete my edit?!" (which will get removed). Questions about my Power Master games and/or YouTube videos are fine. There are other places for those kinds of talk, of course, but I don't mind them on here. Any questions relating to a different wiki, please post on my talk page there. If you're here to complain about a block I gave you on other wikis, your comment will be removed. I'm a friendly guy and am willing to engage in friendly conversation, so long as the sections don't become too excessive. I will archive once this talk page reaches 100 messages. Please do not make any message telling me to archive. It's a waste of a notification, and it will be removed. I welcome friendship, but only if I know you well enough. Unless it's an important response you should know about or if I started the conversation on your page, I will respond here. Have fun!

Luigi artwork

Okay, that's fine, but why is Mario's front artwork being changed consistently for each new game released? Let me guess, it's for the exact same reasons you told me, right? All right, then. I just wanted the artwork changed, because we've already had it for a while now. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:17, 23 November 2017 (EST)

Signature Reminder Overturn

Okay, come on, why did you overturn my reminder there? It was just a polite reminder, and nothing else. I had good reason to be concerned, right? Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:16, 4 December 2017 (EST)

It is undeserved as his edit count shows he edits mainspace more, and his edits to the signature are scattered enough to not be an issue. He does tend to edit his userspace a lot, but it really becomes a problem if it's consistent and/or his focus (i.e. more edits to userspace than mainspace). 21:23, 4 December 2017 (EST)

Okay, are you sure that is a good enough response? I'm sorry for being nitpicky, but just as a notable fact, I don't like repeated responses. But fine, you can go on and have fun with your life now. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:25, 4 December 2017 (EST)

For this specific reason, the reminder is undeserved. However, if he neglects to fix the name on his signature after a few days as I told him to do so, a reminder can be issued for that as that is in violation. 21:33, 4 December 2017 (EST)

Okay. Sorry for being nitpicky, by the way. It can cause a lot of trouble at the wrong times if it's not managed carefully. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:35, 4 December 2017 (EST)

Mario Party series game order

In case you forgot, here is the order of all the Mario Party games: Mario Party, Mario Party 2, Mario Party 3, Mario Party 4, Mario Party 5, Mario Party 6, Mario Party Advance, Mario Party 7, Mario Party 8, Mario Party DS, Mario Party 9, Mario Party: Island Tour, Mario Party 10, and Mario Party: Star Rush.

BRING BACK USERPEDIA BroccollyGuy (talk) 23:51, 10 December 2017 (EST)

I'm not the one running Userpedia. 11:26, 11 December 2017 (EST)

Question

I was wondering if Super Mario Odyssey official was called music in game, and if so than why do you think Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions music should be listed as media (as it is called "MUSIC" when accessing it). And do you think we should add a media template to List of Super Mario Odyssey music page (no matter what's decided)? Also, I am contacting the user that made the page. Yoshi the SSM (talk) 11:58, 11 December 2017 (EST)

Marachi Guy edit

I think the IP address was typing about the Sombrero Guys that appear in Paper Jam. I'm not sure if it's redundant or not, because we have this information on the Sombrero Guy article and I'm pretty sure it doesn't need a repeat on the Marachi Guy page. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 11:18, 12 December 2017 (EST)

Is the Sombrero Guy the only one of the Marachi Guys that appears? 11:21, 12 December 2017 (EST)

From watching videos on YouTube of both Colour Splash and Paper Jam, it is the only one. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 11:31, 12 December 2017 (EST)

Then just the info on Sombrero Guy should be sufficient enough. 11:32, 12 December 2017 (EST)

Bowser: A Good Leader or not?

Hey, how you doing, and have I got a question for you. Do you think Bowser is a good leader of the Koopa Troop and of his soldiers and his kingdom in general? Also, why was my edit on the List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions music article reversed? Anyway, I hope you're doing well. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:49, 12 December 2017 (EST)

I know he definitely cares for his troops, but he may not be the smartest leader in the world. And having tennis matches with your nemesis may help with troop moral :P As for your edit, you appear to already be talking about it with Owencrazyboy9 (talk). 21:53, 12 December 2017 (EST)

Yeah, but I don't exactly understand why he reversed it still. He said that the remake's song names are what are supposed to be put in the boxes, but why can't I put in the original's song names as well? After all, it might as well be called "List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga music"; either way, I want to put in the original names in the boxes too, and I don't get what the problem is with that. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:58, 12 December 2017 (EST)

A List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga media page would probably work better for the original tracks. If the remakes song names are what's in the game, then that's what should be used for the Bowser's Minions page. 22:21, 12 December 2017 (EST)

Are you sure about that? That sounds redundant when the two games, which are pretty much the same game, have the exact same soundtrack, putting aside the remixes and stuff. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 22:23, 12 December 2017 (EST)

Honestly not sure. But again, if the name in the remake is different than the original, the remake's name is used because that's what the page is based on. With the original tracks a part of the game, once they're uploaded, a track list for the original game can be discussed. 22:30, 12 December 2017 (EST)

The only difference (in terms of in-game names) for the same song in the original and the remake is an added DX with the exception of two songs: "To Challenge!" to "Let's Kick it into High Gear" and "It's My Turn" to "Star 'Stache Smash!". There are more differences between the songs, but you know they are the same song. In terms of what they were once called, hey songs change names even in the same series. I know there are a few songs in Paper Jam that uses the same music from Dream Team. And the song "Let's Go (DX)" in the game is named "Come On!" in Paper Jam. Yoshi the SSM (talk) 22:46, 12 December 2017 (EST)

But still, why are we only focusing on the remake names and not the original names as well? I'm not asking for one or the other, I am asking for both of the names. Why can't we have both of them? Or how about this, why didn't we have a "List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga music" article in the first place for both the original and remake names? That is the question I am asking, why are we all of a sudden focused on the remake without paying any attention to the original? Let me guess, you just answered my question for me. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 22:53, 12 December 2017 (EST)

One, it is in-game names in the remake. Two, using the remake in the name is necessary due to it being only in the remake and having songs of the remake. Three, I guess they could have alternate names so long as they are officially known. If not, then don't add it. However, since the remake songs are lower on the page, don't do it like you did, but, instead, mention the alternative names like (this was originally called "Come On!") for Let's Go. But, don't do it to the remake songs as they don't have previous names. This can't be done if a Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga media page is created. However, I strongly advice against this as it will be against Once and only once policy. Yoshi the SSM (talk) 23:09, 12 December 2017 (EST)

Penultimate

That means "second from final," not "secondary." Just clearing that up. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:39, 13 December 2017 (EST)

I looked it up after I used it. I guess I did know what it meant at first, but I doubted myself :P 11:53, 13 December 2017 (EST)

Quote Change

Well, thanks, buddy, that was really appreciated. Okay, enough with the sarcasm, isn't Luigi as silent as Mario in the Super Mario series and all other games except the Paper Mario series? I'm not counting Fortune Street for anything, but in all Mario sub-series except Paper Mario, isn't Luigi as silent as Mario? I'll give you the edge for the Paper Mario series, but I still think he deserves to have a "silent" quote. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:35, 14 December 2017 (EST)

By "discussed" I meant on Luigi's talk page, but whatever.

Aside from the Mario & Luigi series (where he and Mario talk in gibberish) and the Fortune Street series (where he and Mario talk in full sentences), Luigi is more talkative than Mario in just about every game they both appear in and where they talk. Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 has Luigi talking to Mario (and himself), he's very talkative in Luigi's Mansion (as can be seen with the Game Boy Horror, though barely anything in Dark Moon). No one talks much in sports games, but overall, Luigi is much more talkative than Mario is. 21:39, 14 December 2017 (EST)

Uh...I'm not so convinced, because I meant for the most part, but I guess I will meet you on the Luigi talk page. I've got a nice, sweet proposal coming up, or maybe not, but yeah, I still think he's as silent as Mario, if only a little bit more talkative. It's not that much of a difference, just a little. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:43, 14 December 2017 (EST)

Block

Hi, shouldn't you have revoked this IP's talk page access as well, since that's the only page they've extensively edited? ^(T|C) 13:59, 18 December 2017 (EST)

I believe that's only an option for accounts, not anonymous users, as it's not giving me that option. They appear to be blocked from editing in general. 14:05, 18 December 2017 (EST)

Redirects

Okay, got it. I recreated the page because it felt inconsistent with every other level's name and article, and so I wanted to keep the consistency, but fine, whatever works is whatever works. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 00:06, 19 December 2017 (EST)

RE: Thanks

HDMI is better than analog interfaces (such as RCA cables) because it is digital, so no artifacts. Keep in mind that Retron consoles are reverse engineered counterparts of the official console it is based on, so mistakes could occur at runtime that would otherwise not happen on official hardware. This will likely not happen with popular titles because they are so commonly tested but more obscure titles could showcase a bug with the console. I still hope one day you are able to solve your emulator problems. If only I can see what you see, so then I can start tinkering to fix your issues. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 10:46, 21 December 2017 (EST)

3DS, there is an emulator, but it is not worth looking into. Many graphical glitches and some games refuse to boot. Same goes for the Wii U emulator as well. It also has a steep PC requirements. However, how I submitted my screenshots for 3DS, homebrew, not emulators. Anything analog, there is some degradation. It's one reason why digital signal alternatives were developed. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:16, 21 December 2017 (EST)

What do you mean?

in Bin page, there's a Megaman text on trivia. Music Video 123 (talk) 10:56, 22 December 2017 (EST)

Re:Bin

I must have relayed that idea from Fizzle here. It's plausible, but you're right. It's also unlikely to ever have an official source backing it up. Feel free to remove it. LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:42, 22 December 2017 (EST)

Please stop talking about vandals unless you're reporting them. There's no point to bringing them up after they've been dealt with. 22:24, 28 December 2017 (EST)

This was racism, so that's why I'm talking about it. If you see what's happening around the world, you would know why I'd be a little on edge about that.

Regarding said edit on the Princess Daisy gallery page

Hey, Alex95, I noticed you still undid my edit on the Gallery: Princess Daisy page - why is that? The reason I took that out was because the said art in question itself is the same from what we saw for Mario Party 10 (which has now become her "standard" as of late). Let me know really soon, thanks. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 08:47, 5 January 2018 (EST)

Proposals

So, was it not okay for me to post that [Kojo proposal] on the main page? I'd have thought that something like deciding whether or not a game should be covered at all would be prominent enough for the main page. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 19:03, 5 January 2018 (EST)

I was referring to the previous proposal as an example, but okay then. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 19:07, 5 January 2018 (EST)

Does this also apply to proposals involving games that are listed on List of Mario references in Nintendo video games? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 14:25, 7 January 2018 (EST)

Star colors

Are you sure? It can't be. I learned science, and I know my science teacher would say that blue and green are the warm colors. Art class is not a reliable source for determining the colors of stars and how hot they must be. I might search it up on Google, though. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:38, 6 January 2018 (EST)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jFbFXYeqb0

Also, science isn't really the place to go for art advice. In terms of fire, blue would be hot (because fire), but otherwise, it's a cool color. 21:41, 6 January 2018 (EST)

This isn't art we're talking about, this is science. Stars aren't art, they're science, and science says, blue is warm and red is cool. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 21:56, 6 January 2018 (EST)

I am so unfocused right now. I misunderstood the point. My bad.

While there are varying degrees of fire, there isn't one you could really classify as "cool". This is fire after all. Blue is definitely hotter than red, though. 22:02, 6 January 2018 (EST)

SMB3 Sky Land

Hey Alex, do you have the original version? Because I tried it on the All Star Versions (Wii, but should be the same) and that's not the case. It is the case before you changed it. So, unless you can prove that it is that way in the original, we should have the one before you change it. If it is that way, both should be mentioned. Yoshi the SSM (talk) 12:14, 10 January 2018 (EST)

I remember going back and forth on the Tower to see if I had to go through the whole thing in the Advance version, though tbh, my memory is blurred, so I'll double check. Don't currently have access to the original or All-Stars version, so maybe I can find a video on those. If not, it may take a while. 12:17, 10 January 2018 (EST)

I don't remember much of the play I did for Advance, but I'm pretty sure that it is the same as All Star Version I tested it on. Which, you have to replay the level again if you go back to the ground, but if you go to the Pipe/Tower by mistake, you can fall down and go back to the sky with the cost of a life. Yoshi the SSM (talk) 12:22, 10 January 2018 (EST)

Okay, double checked Advance and it looks like my memory has failed my. The Warp Pipe from the sky takes you to a small segment, but you have to replay the Tower from the ground. Apologies, I will change it back. 12:30, 10 January 2018 (EST)

Re:Character Categories

From what I can glean from the pages, they aren't actually characters, hence why I'm swapping in the general tags (since the games don't have specific species categories). Hello, I'm Time Turner. 20:07, 11 January 2018 (EST)

I'll defer to your logic, then. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 20:12, 11 January 2018 (EST)

Legend of Zelda

I know "the" is part of the title, but a phrase like "the first The Legend of Zelda game" doesn't sound right imo. That's why I thought it should just be omitted. Mario JC 22:57, 12 January 2018 (EST)

idk, even if it's grammatically correct, some instances of English will always sound weird to me. "The first Legend of Zelda" and "The first The Legend of Zelda" both sound correct to me, as "Legend of Zelda" is a shorter form whereas "The" is actually in the title. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference, but then the edits could cycle back and forth if it is. 23:51, 12 January 2018 (EST)

Question

Hey just out of curiosity, I remember there being a special page that like ranked everyone's contribution scores per week and month (and I think all time, too). Do you know why it was deleted, I used to enjoy looking at that page. It's fine if you do not know I was just wondering. DKPetey99^TCE

I don't recall such a page existing, and I'm not finding it in SpecialPages. It sounds similar to something Gamepedia and Wikia does, but it doesn't seem useful, so it was probably deleted for that reason. I see you contacted Gamefreak75 (talk) about this already, they would know more about this than I do. Otherwise, Porplemontage (talk) would know more. 17:23, 13 January 2018 (EST)

RE:M+RKB Buttons

As for the manual descriptions, I'm fine if they're added on, as long as they as are added along with the descriptions the wiki provides, since sometimes (not saying these descriptions have too many errors, but) official descriptions can have mistakes as to what they describe. As for the images, no, that actually violates consistency, and it's just easier to use {{button}} since the template's more versatile and can handle some situations that the button images can't. ^(T|C) 17:14, 23 January 2018 (EST)

I never said I thought they would be used on every page. Like I said, it's easier to use the {{button}} template, not just for versatility, but also for consistency with other articles. Plus, there's no policy that explicitly states that manual or in-game entries can be used by themselves when used to define things like controls; they usually need informative text to go along with it. ^(T|C) 17:38, 23 January 2018 (EST)

Hudson Mario Sourcing

Just wanted to ask about sourcing direct developer information. As you can see here: https://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=39544.0. I've been able to get information about version releases from Imatani San, a guy who worked on ads for Hudson during the development of their Mario games. So far, he has told of the existence and planning of other versions of the games, their release months (though a bit questionable, as I explain), and more information is still to come. My question is, how do I source this information, once it's confirmed completely by Imatani? Mariomaster86 (talk) 12:19, 25 January 2018 (EST)

Castle Tree

According to the textures resource, that is actually how they appear in the game's files. Also, I assume you meant "fat" not "flat," because it's obviously a texture.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:02, 26 January 2018 (EST)

That's how the texture actually is? Well, then that means that the texture is stretched vertically in the game. Like, compare the texture to the tree in this screenshot. Weird. And by "flat" I meant like "squished". 16:09, 26 January 2018 (EST)

See for yourself. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:14, 26 January 2018 (EST)

That 1-Up Mushroom XD

Wow, I didn't realize what sort of tricks the devs use for textures. Making the coins grey and just applying a colored texture over them is neat, but stretching a tree and shrinking a mushroom seem like unnecessary steps, imo. 16:18, 26 January 2018 (EST)

They give them more detail for a smaller space. Due to the facts that each point on these graphics no longer occupies just a single point on the screen, as they can be squashed, stretched, and rotated at will, technically all the "tall"-looking ones are stretched in the final. It gives them detail without taking up as much space as having them be twice that size, which would use more memory. Also, this was one of the first times, so, it makes sense...while you're at it, check out how they did the Thwomps in Mario Kart 64 here. And yes, note the complete lack of a green variant, although it was verified it was just the lamp discoloring it when an old emulator I was using to play without a TV glitched and gave the Thwomps weird textures on the sides, and they were all tinted yellow for that specific Thwomp... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:24, 26 January 2018 (EST)

So it was all due to detail. That's interesting! Pretty cool to see what skills devs and artists used to get the most out of the system. I wonder what I'm able to pull off with RPG Maker... 16:33, 26 January 2018 (EST)

Water Land music in Mario Land 2

It starts about halfway through the whole song, and is faint, but very unmistakable. Listen again. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:53, 27 January 2018 (EST)

Oh wait, just 16 seconds in according to an earlier edit summary of mine. Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4d36nr1H2k Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:58, 27 January 2018 (EST)

Huh. Think you can add it back, then? I'm on mobile and editing sucks on it (plus, it's late and I'm tired :/). 02:02, 27 January 2018 (EST)

Way ahead of ya. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:11, 27 January 2018 (EST)

Could you handle this?

I need to be somewhere today, so could deal with whatever this is? Thanks.

Think you might be a tad mixed-up on release dates there, but then again, he's (on very rare occasion) a plumber.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:36, 1 February 2018 (EST)

I wasn't trying to be chronologically correct :P I think he may have also gone down a toilet in The Super Show, though. 23:38, 1 February 2018 (EST)

Insano

Sorry for butting in (he doesn't seem to be online), but that's a word like "weirdo" or "rando," ie a slang description of someone as used as a noun. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:12, 5 February 2018 (EST)

Never heard of that before (obviously), and all Google gives me is a water slide in Brazil. I figured it was a typo, but I need to play the game again anyway :P 13:17, 5 February 2018 (EST)

RE:Bowser quote

I have no way of getting all of Bowser's quotes from throughout the game other than playing it again, so I'm not sure. i can't find a single video of Bowser against Brobot L-type, so I can't confirm or deny that he said that. Ultimate Mr. L (Talk-Contribs-Stats) 13:24, 5 February 2018 (EST)

Proposal

Any suggestions on how to increase awareness of the Gary proposal?
Ultimate Mr. L (Talk-Contribs-Stats) 12:32, 8 February 2018 (EST)

I think all that can be done has been done. Give it time, it's only been up a day. 12:36, 8 February 2018 (EST)

Hello again. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I may not have time to close and archive the proposal on the 22nd. Should I not be able to, may I ask you to take care of it? I would also like to request that the proposal not be enacted even if I can't get around to it right away. What I'm asking may be standard procedure anyway, but I wanted to make sure.
Ultimate Mr. L (Talk-Contribs-Stats) 11:19, 18 February 2018 (EST)

Yeah, I can take care of things that day (or someone else will). The proposal will be added to the list of unimplemented proposals, but you're the one that made the proposal, so you'll be the one to create the page should it pass. 11:24, 18 February 2018 (EST)

RE:Revision text

It was a reference to the "Omae wa mou shindeiru" meme, which that person reminded me of with what they wrote. Plus, it fit in the context because the person was a vandal who most likely had to deal with the admins later on. NANI?! -- -- KOOPA CON CARNE 00:59, 2 March 2018 (EST)

Thanks for the cleanups!

Hey, I see that you are cleaning up and rewording the edits and contributions I make. Thanks, it's appreciated! I'm still not used to how formatting a Wiki works, but I guess I'll learn as time goes by. Feel free to let me know if there's anything in particular you want to discuss or ask regarding my edits and contributions. Master of Majora (talk) 18:28, 2 March 2018 (EST)

A few questions

I have a few questions:

1. what is the template name for the user info box, NOT the userbox
2. how do I use a file from a different URL (a GSF insignia from google images, respectively, as it is diffucult to draw and I cant upload files due to a problem with my web browser being old and unsupported)
3. what am I allowed to put in my userbox like edit score or likes/dislikes

If you have any answers or know someone who can answer theese questions, please reply CosmicBowser (talk) 01:37, 5 March 2018 (EST)

Discussion tab issue

Discussion continued from here.

I viewed the talk page by clicking the link at Recent Changes, then viewed the page to see whether or not it was worth deleting, then saw that the discussion tab was red, despite the fact that I had already seen the page. Clciking the red tab still linked me to the discussion page. This has happened before. Both times were cases in which the talk page had been created minutes or moments ago.
Ultimate Mr. L (Talk-Contribs-Stats) 10:12, 7 March 2018 (EST)

Hm, probably was a cache issue then. Weird. Let me know if it happens again, because that may mean there's a bigger issue. 10:31, 7 March 2018 (EST)

RE: Disambiguation pages

Thanks for tagging those pages! Yeah, it almost didn't occur to me that Mario vs. Donkey Kong had eight levels per world. Hopefully we can get those deleted soon so that other pages can properly be added there. ^(T|C) 15:40, 8 March 2018 (EST)

Hey, what I missed?

I was working on a typography assignment while the direct occurred, what was there? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:16, 8 March 2018 (EST)

Additional Mario Tennis Aces info, Luigi's Mansion 3DS remake, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker 3DS and Switch port, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey for some reason, WarioWare Gold for Switch, and Smash for Switch (regarding just the Mario stuff). 18:18, 8 March 2018 (EST)

Well unless they went into further details about the Hyrule Warriors thing or had a new Zelda game, those will be all I care about. Thanks! Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:29, 8 March 2018 (EST)

Hyrule Warriors was announced to be released this Spring, and Breath of the Wild Link will be in the next Smash. 18:30, 8 March 2018 (EST)

Well, hopefully Breath of the Wild hasn't permanently ruined the series. They had it pretty good with Skyward Sword... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:32, 8 March 2018 (EST)

SMB2

Well, the original SMB and the Lost Levels, Super Mario Land, and NSMBDS didn't feature flight powerups and they aren't neccessary as not all 2D Mario platformers have to have them. The Fire Flower has been the common staple since SMB1. Flight powerups were introduced in SMB3 and SMB2 was released before SMB3. Shooting projectiles is the common staple, not flight power-ups.--199.7.157.121 18:54, 11 March 2018 (EDT)

The Fire Flower is used as an example as it is the most prominent projectile power-up as it was intoduced in SMB1. It's not meant to be vague.
