Editing Talk:Dinosaur Land

Is it true that this was renamed Dinosaur Island in the remake? If so, the article should be moved to Dinosaur Island, as that is the most canonically correct name. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

I don't think there's enough information in this article. It should have a little bit about the geography of Dinosaur Land, and maybe some interesting features.

Wait a second! I know why you're not answering me! It's because you think I'm not being smart since I can edit the article myself. Well, maybe I'll do it... sometime. [[User:CrystalYoshi|CrystalYoshi]] 19:36, 30 January 2008 (EST)

:Okay, I'll answer you then :P Actually I think you're right, it would be a good idea to add something about the geography. Would be great if you could do it, since nobody else seems to wish to take care of it right now. You could also add the <nowiki>{{rewrite-expand}}</nowiki> tag at the top of the page. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 07:05, 2 February 2008 (EST)

I don't know how to do that. And all the information is good, just needs more. I could do it, but that'd be a big step from what I've done with articles before. But after all, if I don't do something more than what I already do, I'm not really ever going to be able to. {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}} 16:38, 2 February 2008 (EST)

Here's what I've got so far:
===Geography of Dinosaur Land===
[[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]], the first world of Dinosuar Land, is in the southwest part of the land. It has a mountain which has Yellow Switch Palace on it. Like the first world of many Mario games, it is a grassland-themed world. North of it is the Donut Plains, a large plain with a lake in the center. It also has [[Donut Plains 2|a cave]]. It has many wide, open places (such as most of [[Donut Plains 1]]), which is convinient as the [[Cape Feather]] is first introduced in this world, and the landscape of Donut Plains lets the player use this new ability easily. After the [[Donut Ghost House]] is cleared, a river appears from the lake going north to the sea. A bridge over the river takes Mario to the rest of the levels. Also, Donut Plains has a secret entrance to an icy cave (Donut Secret 2) in the [[Valley of Bowser]].  Donut Plains is also generally grassland-themed, and it has mountains that are shown on the world map. The path leads to the [[Vanilla Dome]], a mountain cave with a lake and underground hills. Mario starts at the entrance to the cave, then goes to the lake, then climbs a ladder to a hill. Vanilla Dome 4 oddly seems to be above the ground, with the [[Star World]] background. The top of Vanilla Dome, which is called Vanilla Heights, can be acessed from inside Vanilla Dome through secret exits and has two levels. One of the levels (Vanilla Secret 3) is in a lake, and there's also a waterall that the Vanilla Fortress is on. Next to Vanilla Dome is Cookie Mountain, another mountain. There is a bridge ([[Cheese Bridge]]) connecting the two mountains. The bridge is whole on the map screen, but the level has a big gap between the beginning and the end of the bridge. Cookie Mountain is a high mountain, because there are clouds in the background. Down from Cookie Mountain there is a ladder leading to the [[Forest of Illusion]].

Anyone should feel free to add on as much as they want. You can also edit what I wrote if you want to make it sound better. Once there's a bit about each location, I'll add it to the article. Come on, SMW lovers: add more!

Come on, I'm gonna have to write this whole thing by myself? No one wants to help out? Okay then. {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}}

Time Q, is it really "point of view" to say it's odd the bridge is seen as whole but is actually broken? What if you saw a whole bridge far away and came to it and it was broken? What kind of person would say it wasn't odd? Never miond, it doesn't REALLY matter. {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}}

-Wait, change it back to Dinosaur Land! They don't call it Dinosaur Island on the remake, just on the official site. Son of Suns changed it? It's really called Dinosuar Land, saying it's called Dinosaur Island in the remake is misleading, it should be Dinosaur Land. {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}} 17:44, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

-I'm chaniging it back to Dinosaur Land. If anyone has an objection, put it here before changing it again. {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}} 17:44, 14 March 2008 (EDT)

-Okay, I'm reading my section over and realizing how bad it looks. If someone wants to help me out, that's fine, but I'm removing the section. I'll maybe put a rewrite-expand tag so a better writer can do it. {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}} 07:56, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

-== Yoshi's Island ==
-Just out of curiosity, why do people think that the Yoshi's Island in Dinosaur Land and Yoshi's Island in the Yoshi games are seperate? Sure, in the Yoshi games, you don't see the other landmasses. But in Super Mario World, Mario created a bridge that created a path to the rest of Dinosaur Land. Of course that bridge didn't exist in SMW2:Yoshi's Island, because Mario didn't make the bridge yet. [[User:Kobble|Kobble]]
-:It's just that they look so different. The Yoshi's Island in SMW is way smaller, after all. The features are different; for example, Yoshi's Island in SMW2:YI has several tall icy mountains, but Yoshi's Island in SMW has only one tall mountain that doesn't look the same. {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}} 15:48, 30 May 2008 (EDT)
-== Map artwork ==
-An artwork of Dinosaur Land from the remake exists. It was shown on a flyer. I've got it at home somewhere, I'll see if I can find it and get the chance to scan it later this week.
