So, ever since the inceptions of the two [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Building_World_(Mario%27s_Early_Years!_Fun_with_Letters_for_PC)&oldid=2515204 Building] [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Building_World_(Mario%27s_Early_Years!_Fun_with_Letters_for_SNES)&oldid=2515203 World] articles in 2018, and for the longest time until today, it seems that the two Building Worlds are largely identical in appearance and the only thing different is the gameplay, what with both worlds supposedly being represented by building blocks and the world itself having pipes and a puzzle piece background... despite the PC version obviously taking place at a baseball game. Hardly seems worth a split; one could imagine to just merge the two together, and describe that the SNES version has a different minigame compared to the PC version... right?<br>Well, inspired by [[MarioWiki:Proposals | |||

I looked over some longplays of [https://youtu.be/A-TpfBPEJIc?si=T5QoRBDcBY6VPEYH both] [https://youtu.be/vRumWIQVF_c?si=-mNBZ5eIoP841SBO versions], and then checked their [https://archive.org/details/marios-fun-with-letters/page/n3/mode/2up respective] [https://archive.org/details/mariosearlyyearscdromcollection_insert_2133510019001/page/n9/mode/2up manuals]. Here's what I found: | |||
#First, the icon representation that both icons mentioned was entirely incorrect. Neither version was represented by building blocks at all; [[Last Letter World]] is represented by those instead. Instead, the SNES version of Building World is represented by a jigsaw puzzle depicting a red crayon, and the PC version is represented by a baseball bat; these also indicate what's inside those worlds much better than the building blocks. | #First, the icon representation that both icons mentioned was entirely incorrect.

#Second, and more importantly, the SNES version of Building World ''is actually in the PC version as well!'' Just under a different name. For the longest time, the wiki page claimed that the SNES Building World was entirely exclusive to the SNES version of ''Fun With Letters | #Second, and more importantly, the SNES version of Building World ''is actually in the PC version as well!'' Just under a different name. For the longest time, the wiki page claimed that the SNES Building World was entirely exclusive to the SNES version of ''Fun With Letters, i.e. it could not be found in the PC version (which houses a different Building World in place). But as it turns out, the PC version also hosts a world that and works identical to the SNES version of Building World, and even looks near identical as well, down to its use of puzzle pieces both in its gameplay ''and'' its icon on the main menu. But since the PC version already has a different Building World, the SNES version of Building World is known on PC as '''Blending World''' instead. Something which, baffling enough, up until today, ''wasn't mentioned ANYWHERE on the wiki's relevant pages at all!'' | ||
So I made rectifications based on my findings. Now all that's left is regarding the article titles, whether we should prioritize the PC version (rename this article to {{fake link|Blending World}}) or the SNES version (keep the current article name). I would personally go for the rename, given that [[MarioWiki:Proposals | So I made rectifications based on my findings.

I would personally go for the rename, given that [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Shorten disambiguation identifiers "(Super) Nintendo Entertainment System" to "(S)NES"|the aforementioned proposal]] is looking to fail ''very soon'', which may indicate that this article might have to be renamed to {{fake link|Building World (Mario's Early Years! Fun with Letters for Super Nintendo Entertainment System)}}, which is a title for a short article with an overly long identifier for disambiguation with the PC release, when the much shorter "Blending World" would be much more preferable. That way, [[Building World (Mario's Early Years! Fun with Letters for PC)|the PC version of Building World]] cab also be renamed to simply {{fake link|Building World}} as well and would only need to be prepended with {{tem|about}}, ''and'' [[Building World|the disambiguation page currently named "Building World"]] would no longer be necessary.<br>Also I didn't make this a proposal because I thought ut wasn't ''that'' necessary. {{User:Arend/sig}} 18:23, September 3, 2024 (EDT) | ||
