== secret codes ==
I did see that note.  perhaps should've made discussion before adding it. on one hand I understand since it just says what buttons to press, but on the other hand a game mentioning a cheat code is also a bit more complicated then just listing controls as of all the other instances (not to mention being hidden and games rarely mention secret codes like that ingame) then theres the instance of the code in Bowser's Inside Story, which is also on the page. True they do mention hearing the 'buttons' being pressed, but it's still essentialy passing secret info meant for the player, and again a bit more special then the usual "press 'this button' to do 'this'.[[User:Pikmin theories|Pikmin theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin theories|talk]]) 22:15, November 10, 2023 (EST)

List of fonts

My edit was constructive. I edited the lead from "Super Mario" to "Mario" because fonts are used for games and related media within Mario franchise, not just Super Mario franchise. 36.85.216.131 10:00, June 28, 2023 (EDT)

See this proposal. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 10:02, June 28, 2023 (EDT)

How Do I Contribute?

I want to help the wiki somehow, but how? What articles are in need of creation?

Mario and Joliet (with Captain Lou is Missing)

On Nintendo's terrible archival policy (or rather lack thereof)

Good evening, thought I'd ask for your opinion on this. Nintendo does not keep archives of their online content, very often removes even news articles (example: [1]). The only possible conclusion I could draw from it is these articles need to be covered on this wiki, at least the ones Nintendo already removed. They unfortunately can be rather lengthy. What do you think would be an appropriate way to cover them? Axis (talk) 11:06, July 13, 2023 (EDT)

My issue with your solution is that no internet archive can be fully trusted. Nintendo can do the classic Nintendo moment and request archive.org to exclude all *.nintendo.com URLs from the archives, as they've already done with NoE. archive.org could shut down, other archive websites can also shut down. The cost of running archive.org is beyond my imagination. I'll try to cover the articles anyway in a sandbox to see if it'll cause problems. The articles aren't typically bigger than the ones already covered on Wario's Warehouse page. Axis (talk) 11:45, July 14, 2023 (EDT)
The thing is that these Play Nintendo articles are more than likely copyrighted, and so I don't think there is a whole lot you can do to document them: since the very purpose they're offering this content is for others to peruse it, copy-pasting or taking screenshots of it wholesale is technically not protected by US Fair Use law as it's not transformative and it could theoretically steal traffic from the original source. At least with Play Nintendo quizzes and other activities documented here, they have some degree of interactivity on Nintendo's site that this wiki doesn't offer. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 12:09, July 14, 2023 (EDT)
EDIT: We should also reconsider hosting Wario's Warehouse material (assuming it's 100% real), considering Nintendo has gone apeshit in the past {gamerant.com) over fans publicly releasing material that isn't even sold any more. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 12:23, July 14, 2023 (EDT)
They don't seem to care much about something that was meant to be released to the public for free. I don't remember any precedent like this. This is also part of the reason why I suggest doing it for the articles Nintendo already removed, and not those they have available as of now. Axis (talk) 12:28, July 14, 2023 (EDT)

Renaming SuperBowser64

Hello, I was wondering if the user SuperBowser64's username could be changed so I could take up their username. They haven't been active for over 11 years and only ever made 3 edits, all of them being reverted shortly after. I use SuperBowser64 as my username on both ZeldaWiki and Nookipedia, and had to use MegaBowser64 here as a compromise. I never considered the holder of this username though, and after viewing their contributions, I don't think it would be unreasonable if their username could be changed to something similar so I could use it to keep the same username across NIWA wikis. Thank you, BOWSER... (talk) 20:31, July 16, 2023 (EDT)

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Soundtrack

I think you should consider taking another look at including the "Title Theme" from New Super Mario Bros. Wii as a reference in The Super Mario Bros. Movie (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) for "Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom" from 1:23 to 1:24. Yes, the reference is only three notes, but in the original NSMBW theme, those notes are very distinct and an integral motif throughout (it can first be heard at 0:03 in the original theme for reference). Further, those notes in "Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom" are in the same key as the NSMBW original, and the Paah and P-Switch theme from the New Super Mario Bros. series can be heard just a few seconds later, which I think further points towards the notes being a reference to NSMBW ToxicOJ (talk) 01:01, July 19, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Arctic Circle System

No, I've never heard of them, and I don't share the device that I edit from with anyone. AgentMuffin (talk) 02:22, July 21, 2023 (EDT)

Mario Party 8

Apparently, MC Ballyhoo says these quotes: "You're no sucker! Smart players don't rely on luck! They change their fate with Candy! Eat Candy before you hit your Dice Block to trigger one of many effects!" and "You'll also get Candy by finding it around the board. You never know what you'll get, but it's free!" Could you please verify if these quotes are correct and if any of the words are colored differently? Dwhitney (talk) 11:14, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

Wow!

Can you make Template:Amps (Amp, Big Amp, Bowser Stunner, Spark, Lil Sparky, and Hothead), Template:Warp Pipes, Template:Coin Rings, Template:Urchins, Template:Bees, Template:Penguins, Template:Birdos, Template:Obstacles, and Template:Blarggs? So yes! Trinitron Tube (talk) 3:41, July 26, 2023 (EDT)

Typo in Protected page

Mario jc, I noticed a typo in Help:Link, however no one has fixed the typo. Can you please fix it? MHA Super Mushroom:) at 04:13, July 29, 2023 (EDT)

Vandals

I feel like the vandals below should be blocked for ban evasion if they haven't been so already (and if they have, change the ban reason to that), since I'm 99% sure it's the same person behind those edits. In addition, I want you to hide the edits that they made, since I don't want anyone clicking on that link and getting rickrolled or something.

A question about sandbox pages

In my sandbox page, is there a way to remove the redirect to my userpage (e.g. < User:Pizza Master) or otherwise make it invisible?--Poisoned Geno SMRPG sprite.png Pizza Master Waluigi 14:39, August 16, 2023 (EDT)

Colour vs. Color

I noticed on Help:CSS, it says "Some properties take a colour value". However, it should use "color" instead. MHA Super Mushroom:) at 08:10, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

Can you please unrange block my Wi-Fi connection?

Hi Mario jc, can you please help? I find myself unable to connect to this site using my Wi-Fi connection... and this happened quite recently, too, even though I was waiting for Mario Kart Tour update around that time.

It feels like deja vu of sorts, except a year ago I was IP blocked instead of ranged blocked, and I decided to sign in for this very reason. So I hope you can unblock my internet, and thanks.

P.S. I have to resort to use my mobile connection to reach to you, so please understand.

Sincerely, a (possibly former) user, Starry Windy★ 03:52, August 18, 2023 (EDT)

A vandal ip

220.144.79.31 has been vandalising the wiki. Can you block this ip please? MHA Super Mushroom:) at 09:18, August 19, 2023 (EDT)

Trip Navigator

To me, "Trip Navigator" sounds too good to simply be a phrase. When I looked up the phrase on Google, the first results were companies with the same name. What do you think we can do about this? Dwhitney (talk) 12:35, August 27, 2023 (EDT)

Pump, Pump and Away void

The black void being visible in Pump, Pump and Away is also a error and it also wasn’t meant to be seen like in Specter Inspector, do you really think the devs did it on purpose?

Duplicate images

Hello sorry to bother you. I'm writing for help to fix a mistake I accidentally caused. I uploaded a render from the Japanese Mario Wonder website (as seen here) but for some reason the bot didn't detect this as a duplicate of this render that I didn't realise had already been upload yesterday (as seen here). I think the reason why mine wasn't detected was because my upload was a slightly bigger aspect ratio compared to older one. I'm not sure how to fix it so I was hoping you could help me out here. Thank you in advance. Captain Galaxy (talk) 11:40, September 1, 2023 (EDT)

Wrong category

For some reason, World 8 (New Super Mario Bros.) appears in Category:Image map templates. I purged both the page and the category, i reloaded it many times, i made dummy edits, i made sure there was the noinclude tag, but nothing works. Can you help me? MHA Super Mushroom:) at 09:19, September 2, 2023 (EDT)

nvm, i made a dummy edit to the page and it worked. MHA Super Mushroom:) at 09:21, September 2, 2023 (EDT)

Using the {{media link}} template on file pages

I noticed you have used this template on the file pages of a few uploads, such as File:Nintendo Live 2023 My Nintendo wallpaper desktop.jpg. I personally approve of this, as I believe it's beneficial to be able to identify an image's uses anywhere on the wiki, but I'd like to bring your attention to a rather peculiar statement on the template's page that reads: "Please note that this template should be used in main articles only." I can't trace it back to any consensus, be it an standard discussion or proposal, so I questioned its helpfulness on the template's talk page. I was wondering what your views on it are. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 18:55, September 4, 2023 (EDT)

King Tetris

I knew it was the other way around, which is why i asked for the redirect to be deleted in the first place: To make way for rennaming. --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 06:43, September 6, 2023 (EDT)

I tried to rename it, but it didn't allow, because MarioWiki Bot automatically readjusted the redirect from Tetris Daio to Tetris King. --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 06:48, September 6, 2023 (EDT)

Vivian Spanish name meaning

Hey! I can't edit Vivian's page, as it seems it's protected. I want to make a change in the section about her name in other languages. The Spanish name comes from the Spanish version of the name Vivian, but at the same time it comes from the Spanish trans actress Bibiana Fernández (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bibiana_Fern%C3%A1ndez). The source is this tweet made by one of the Spanish translators for the Gamecube, where he confirms it (https://twitter.com/polroc/status/1702660171737059808). Could you possibly add this to the Spanish section of her name? Thanks in advance! --Jau CR (talk) 09:09, September 15, 2023 (EDT)

Differences between Life-Up Heart and Life Mushroom

Well The Life-Up Heart is a power up but the Life Mushroom isn't, but why? --User:SMBros

Anniversary 2023 Tour included Los Angeles Laps 2 instead of 3

Is it official that the second route of the Los Angeles Laps is included instead of the third one since it referenced the third Los Angeles Tour in the 2022 Tour? Pierce Ng (talk)

The 2023 Anniversary Tour should feature only 3 routes, but LA Laps give the 2nd one than the 3rd route; additionally, New York and Tokyo did not include 4th routes since they are conclusions, but rather 3rd routes.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pierce Ng (talk).

I think what Pierce Ng is trying to say is that Los Angeles Laps 2 is the de facto "third variant" of Los Angeles Laps since it was added to the game after Los Angeles Laps 3, so it's still a part of the 2023 anniversary tour's trend of featuring "third variant" courses. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 07:46, September 20, 2023 (EDT)
I see, I've added that in. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 08:15, September 20, 2023 (EDT)

Mario Kart Tour's regarding "false items"

At first I see Builder Toad receiving Bob-omb Cannons and Explorer Toadette receiving Double Bob-ombs, which makes me a bit suspicious But when I see Pengui Yellow Toad receiving Dash Rings instead of ice Flowers, I get agitated because it does not fit Penguin's powerups, like Penguin Mario and Toadette. This also happens to Kamek when he has Cioin Box instead of Ice Flowers since he has magic, and it has sparkle trails, not to spew coins, contradicting Mario platforming games. Golfer Luigi should have used Ice Flowers like he did in Mario Golf Super Rush, and Wintertime Larry should have used Ice Flowers because his clothes were made of snowflakes. For Green Birdo, while it makes sense to have Fire Flowers just like she did in Super Mario Bros 2, it would make a bit of sense to receive Green Shells as her special item. The worst offender will be Golden Mario with Fire Flowers since it is considered a false item and it would make sense to receive a Coin Box. Coin Box makes him OP, so it would make better sense to receive Lucky 7 instead. Pierce Ng (talk)

About the sample SMW

Is it allowed to convert a MIDI into mp3/oga for it? Cuz there is a mistake i've been considering to correct on this file. --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 12:39, September 28, 2023 (EDT)

What do you think of the revised version? --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 12:06, September 29, 2023 (EDT)


Mecha Fly guy edit

On the edit on the Mecha Fly Guy article, I said it was part of the controversy because it required spinning Control Stick as fast as possible, like those 5 minigames. That means that any use of a palm to spin it would cause injuries.

MPIT Final boss minigame edit

In Mario Party: Island Tour, I made a recent edit on Bowser's Sky Scuffle about falling off the platform in the minigame. Why has nobody seen it yet? --AJOMarioWiki (talk) 13:20, October 2, 2023 (EDT)

Japanese write

Can you to write Kloak and Kackle's biography in English? Here the image. ChristopherPAraujo (talk) 00:56, October 3, 2023 (EDT)

Stubs

Confusing. The link from the template for stubs seemed to have a description loose enough to fall in line with what I was editing, I thought. Is there more information on the use of the stubs category than that? Some of my grammatical edits were reverted without explanation, as well. TimonLeslieBerkowitz (talk) 18:42, October 4, 2023 (EDT)

SMB Ground Theme SSB4 section

I think the SSB4 section on the Super Mario Bros. Ground Theme page should be split back into separate for 3DS and for Wii U sections. Besides that for 3DS was released earlier, there being so many different arrangements between the two versions means that having a combined section for both games makes it extremely cluttered and confusing to read, especially since so many distinctions have to be made about version exclusivity, which stages each arrangements plays on, etc. I agree that I initially had the two sections written with some repetitive information (i.e. mentioning "Club Nintendo soundtrack" multiple times), but I think it would be better to just remove some of the repetitive information while leaving it as separate sections.

Scared to edit

Question... Am i so out-of-touch?

Do you think i'm out-of-touch for not actually hating the game that much, thinking it "wasn't that bad"? Did my edit summary come off as abrasive (the "yeah, and")? Or am i entitled to my own opinion? After all, the game did lose me around 3-4 (and a few years ago at the beginning of 4-1). Be honest. --Green Yoshi FanOfYoshi 10:05, October 13, 2023 (EDT)

Disclaimer Concerning Deleted Image

I reuploaded the combined Daisy alts art for use in her alternate outfit section the way Wario's has been set-up to describe his Smash alternate colors. Sorry I was in the middle of editing the text for the section in mind when you deleted it while it was without its intended use. Hope this explains things, thanks. TimonLeslieBerkowitz (talk) 23:02, October 14, 2023 (EDT)

Okay, I'm pretty confused. Wario's page is a featured article, so you'd think it'd be a perfect example of how to go about editing Daisy's, which isn't. You reverted what I thought was perfectly in line with the same section on Wario's page because it's too along the lines of something called fan worship? Why is it good in the case of Wario's page but bad in the case of Daisy's? TimonLeslieBerkowitz (talk) 23:07, October 14, 2023 (EDT)
It doesn't add up to me that the wiki is actively displaying Wario's page as what the wiki strives for to have me base my editing on it and be told I'm doing something wrong. I think I understand, though, and I am actively going to make a much humbler edit. I still planned on having a display of the alternates and their descriptions like on Wario's page, if that's okay? TimonLeslieBerkowitz (talk) 23:39, October 14, 2023 (EDT)

All Checkpoints is Super Mario Galaxy

MarioJC, Can you go to all the pages for every galaxy in the first game, and post which planets mark the invisible checkpoints? I did "Airship Armada" and "Space Junk Galaxy". Can you find where the other invisible checkpoints are? Please. 73.144.173.107 13:44, October 16, 2023 (EDT)

New Daisy Art

Yes, I emailed the panini company behind the release of the recent trading cards asking about the updated art. I also have the shaded variants, but do I need to provide some kind of source for the upload or what would suffice? It looks like they were already taken down or something and I don't want to just have them deleted again. TimonLeslieBerkowitz (talk) 22:24, October 17, 2023 (EDT)

I'm waiting for an official response for proper confirmation. I'm contacting Nintendo directly, as well. I'll let you know when that happens before reuploading. I see they're not the exact same ones from panini now, just that they match some of the other changes made to such art like her skin-tone from Wonder, too. TimonLeslieBerkowitz (talk) 18:34, October 29, 2023 (EDT)

File restoration

Hi, can you restore File:Swoopinstu.pngMedia:Swoopinstu.png? It was an official group art of three Goobles that was deleted due to the separate .jpg's of each being uploaded, but as a group art it still is valid as its own image. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 10:45, October 19, 2023 (EDT)

Difference between {{media missing}} and {{more media}}

What is the difference between {{media missing}} and {{more media}}? The only difference I can tell is that {{more media}} allows you to add a comment to the box to specify what needs to be added. ToxicOJ (talk) 13:36, October 19, 2023 (EDT)

Mario Party 8 forms names

Sorry, I'm a little late. I noticed the conjectural notes you added to the names I proposed for the Mario Party 8 forms. To be honest with you, I kind of agree. Would just calling them by their candy names remove the conjectural note (ex: Bitsize Mario -> Bitsize ; Weeglee Mario -> Weeglee;...) or not?

I suppose an alternative would be to use the adjectives on page 13 of the Mario Party 8 manual. https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/Wii_Mario_Party_8.pdf (I've bolded words that might be interesting to use for potential names) For example:

Green Candies:

  • Springo Candy: the manual only say: "Turns your legs into springs [...]" without talking about the form as a whole. ;
  • Cashzap Candy: not much to work with: "Releases lightnings that reduces your opponent's or other team's coins by half" ;
  • Vampire Candy: "Turns you into a vampire bat [...]".

Yellow Candies:

  • Bitsize Candy: "Turns you into a pixellated character [...]" ;
  • Bloway Candy: "Turns you into a tornado [...]" ;
  • Bowlo Candy: "Turns you into a ball [...]" (NB: should be called Ball (Mario Party 8) because Mario Pinball Land already has a form called "Ball" in the template);
  • Weeglee Candy: again, not much to work with: "Turns you into three tiny versions of your character that collectively steal one Candy from opponent you pass.

Blue Candies:

  • Thwomp Candy: "Transform into a Thwomp [...]" ;
  • Bullet Candy: "Transfrom into a Bullet Bill [...]" ;
  • Bowser Candy: "Transform into Bowser [...]" ;
  • Duelo Candy: not much to work with: "Burn with the passion for the duel! You will stop and duel the first opponent you encounter. If you win, you can steal coins or Stars with a spin of the wheel.".

I also checked the in-game descriptions of each candy (nothing interesting that could be used in my opinion). I'm not competent enough to dig into the game files and see if the models/effects/sprites related to these forms have internal names distinct from the untransformed versions of each character. I also don't understand Japanese. --Conradd (talk) 19:57, October 31, 2023 (EDT)
