Editing Talk:Magic brush

Shouldn't this article be renamed as the Gaddbrush?  I'm pretty sure it's been called that . . .
:I do not remember this being called the Gaddbrush, but Bowser Jr. calling it "my magic paintbrush". I'll create a redirect just in case, though. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 18:06, 17 August 2006 (EDT)
:OK, in the article [[Professor Elvin Gadd]] it's called both ''magic paintbrush'' and ''Gaddbrush''. I still don't believe that Gaddbrush is correct, but a redirect has been made nonetheless. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 18:08, 17 August 2006 (EDT)

Okay.[[User:Waluigi Freak 99|WF99]] 18:14, 17 August 2006 (EDT)

It's The Gaddbrush. It's in the Prima Guide for the game.

Prima is an unofficial guide. It has no canonical value. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Then why is the trivia for [[Star Spirits]], "the Prima guide says..." or something like that. [[User:Maxlover2|Maxlover2]]

:It says that because the Prima Guide is incorrect, and the wiki is correcting them. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Sorry. but from what you are saying, we need a "Prima-Correction Wiki" :) no offense. I understand. and, I am now confused. [[User:Maxlover2|Maxlover2]]

:We just don't want people mixing up official with unofficial material. So we point out errors so people don't get confused when the Prima guide contradicts the official material. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

== Color ==

*When [[Bowser Jr.]] masquerades as [[Shadow Mario]], the Magic Paintbrush changes color to match his shadowy consistency. It is only when he becomes Bowser Jr. again that the true coloration of the Magic Paintbrush is revealed. 
The color of the Magic Paintbrushm's base is Yellow, like [[Bowser Jr.]]'s base. Maybe that the 'true coloration' is actually different from that. --{{User:Tag365/sig}} 09:53, 8 October 2013 (EDT)

== Infobox artwork ==

After Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury comes out, should we change the infobox artwork to Bowser Jr.'s artwork from that game? The current one (which is all the way back from Super Mario Sunshine) seems to be outdated for the paintbrush's design, and the design it's going for in Bowser's Fury seems like it will be the modern design, as that was used for Super Nintendo World as well. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}

:It's an interesting case. The art should definitely be updated, but I'm not sure whether it should be with the Nintendo World or Bowser's Fury art. I think that the Nintendo World one may actually have been made with Bowser's Fury in mind due to the timing, although the shading/style does differ. Maybe more art releases closer to the game's release will tell us. If we did use one for the infobox, I'd personally prefer the Nintendo World art due to the more standardised shading/pose/facial expression.

::We should use the Nintendo World art as it both features the modern E. Gadd-less design, and a pose that more clearly shows the paintbrush. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 12:04, January 27, 2021 (EST)
:::Agreed with using the Nintendo World art. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:14, January 27, 2021 (EST)
::::I thought we could only use game artwork for infoboxes, but honestly I agree that the Nintendo World artwork is more fitting. Would it be ok to change it now? {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}

:::::Yes!

==Proper name==
{{talk}}
Given that the only sources we have for names come from ''Super Mario Sunshine'' material, if no one has a source for "Magic Paintbrush", I think this should move to "magic brush", [[list of Super Mario Sunshine quotes#Bowser Jr.|per how Bowser Jr. refers to it in the game.]] [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 14:12, July 23, 2023 (EDT)
:There's [https://play.nintendo.com/activities/skill-quizzes/mushroom-kingdom-character-trivia-quiz/ this quiz] on the Play Nintendo site that refers to it as the "Magic Paintbrush", but since the quiz was released in the "back to school" period of this year (after you even opened this discussion), there's a pretty decent chance the name was pulled from the wiki. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 16:17, October 1, 2023 (EDT)
::I would much rather prefer a proposal on this over a somewhat out-of-process page move, since this seems like yet another "officially accepted fanon name" case. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 21:56, February 22, 2024 (EST)

==Remove the trivia section of this article==
The only similarity I can see between the Splatoon brushes and this brush is the fact that they are paintbrushes. Also considering that the Splatoon games came out more than a decade after [[Super Mario Sunshine]], it's not likely to be intended as a reference to it. Also, the uses of the brushes is not anything similar. The magic brush is used to vandalize an entire island, the Splatoon brushes are used for turf war entertainment events. They are not similar in the slightest. --{{User:Pizza Master/sig}} 15:33, January 15, 2025 (EST)
