Editing Talk:Completion

With my recent edit, there are a number of things I would've liked to have added for completeness, but I don't have copies of the games with me and was relying on FAQs to double-check things, but I couldn't answer all my own questions with those FAQs. These questions include:
* In ''The Lost Levels'' (the original NES/Famicom versions), do you get a star on the title screen for each time you complete the game, whether you use warp pipes or not, whether you finish in World 8 or World 9?
* On the [[World A]] page on this wiki, it says you need "eight consecutive" wins to unlock World A. Does that mean if you get seven stars, and then get a Game Over on your eighth attempt, the stars disappear from the title screen and you have to try again? Does the game forget your stars and winning streak when you turn off the system? (I completed the game on the Virtual Console, so I never "took out the cartridge".)
* Do any stars appear on the title screen after the eighth, if you keep playing Worlds 1 through 8/9? (And did anymore stars appear after beating World D?)
* With those five "Mario heads" in ''Super Mario Advance'', do they appear above a save file, or above the ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' logo on a game select screen? (There weren't multiple save files in that game, were there? The FAQ I was reading called it a file, so I went with that.)
* Does ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' use that same five point star system that ''Super Mario Advance 2'' and ''4'' use? I didn't see it mentioned in any FAQs, and so left the ''Yoshi's Island'' section alone.
Just jotting all of this down, both in case anyone else can double-check, and to remind myself if I come back and improve things later.

Also, I was wondering if it wouldn't be better to organize remakes separately from the originals and each other. For example, have sections for each ''Super Mario Advance'' title, and include completion requirements unique to the ''Advance'' version of ''Super Mario World'' there instead of under the ''Super Mario World'' section. (For example, the different requirements for autumn colors between the two versions.) [[User:FiveSparklyStars|FiveSparklyStars]] ([[User talk:FiveSparklyStars|talk]]) 05:35, 2 April 2017 (EDT)

1: Can't answer any of your questions beside this one:

"'' Does the game forget your stars and winning streak when you turn off the system?''"

<s>The Lost Levels doesn't have any password feature or battery back-up, so, yes.</s> doh

2: Remakes and ports with significant new content should be listed separately from the source game. The only reason they aren't is because I got lazy with my  original draft.  --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 14:42, 2 April 2017 (EDT)




EXTREMELY late, but since the existing answer is barebones/misleading, I will answer just in case someone finds the answers useful:

''* In ''The Lost Levels'' (the original NES/Famicom versions), do you get a star on the title screen for each time you complete the game, whether you use warp pipes or not, whether you finish in World 8 or World 9?''

Correct, it's irrelevant whether you use Warps or not, the Star is awarded upon beating World 8 regardless of any other condition.


''* On the [[World A]] page on this wiki, it says you need "eight consecutive" wins to unlock World A. Does that mean if you get seven stars, and then get a Game Over on your eighth attempt, the stars disappear from the title screen and you have to try again? Does the game forget your stars and winning streak when you turn off the system? (I completed the game on the Virtual Console, so I never "took out the cartridge".)''

No, you can get a Game Over and still keep your Stars. The game DOES remember your stars upon turning it off (though, it doesn't save your High Score). The other comment is wrong, remember that the original Lost Levels was released for the FDS, one of the main selling points being that the Disks were entirely writable and thus you didn't need an extra battery back-up.


''* Do any stars appear on the title screen after the eighth, if you keep playing Worlds 1 through 8/9? (And did anymore stars appear after beating World D?)
''

Yes, you can get up to 24 stars. Beating World D does not award you with any star.

*I also took the liberty of removing "Earning all six stars unlocks a nighttime variation of the normal title screen." from Yoshi's Island section since it's incorrect, the nighttime variation is unlocked after defeating Baby Bowser, regardless of the score throughout the level/game. {{unsigned|181.43.35.205}}

So, I found this on TV Tropes page for 100% completion: DK: King of Swing takes it even higher with 200%. To get it, you must collect all 24 medals and 20 Crystal Coconuts, collect all the medals again in Diddy Mode, beat all the top times as both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong in Time Attack Mode, and place first on all of the Jungle Jam events (including three that are only unlocked through a password screen accessible only through a code). Should this be added? [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 11:49, December 20, 2021 (EST)
:Sure. {{User|SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA)}} 10:00, January 19, 2023 (CST)
