| ::::::::::It needs a specific scope, though. Are we talking about just "alternate color schemes"? The first entry on the page is talking about palette-swapped enemies, of which there are countless examples across the series. '''Every single instance of Green and Red Koopa Troopas would have to be included here'''. Otherwise, this would be restricted to alternative color schemes for playable characters, which is what most of the article is focused on...but then we have mentions (and images) of Toadette in a completely different '''costume'''. That is not a "palette swap", it's a different costume. If this page is going to stay, it needs a solid "mission statement", as such...

| :::::::::::I'm probably late to this and this could've probably already been addressed, but as someone who has definitely talked about palette swaps before, I would like to offer my two cents. I definitely agree that this article is fine, but I feel it should be a bit more limited to palette swaps that don't have distinct gameplay differences. Things like the alternate colors for ''Mario Golf'', ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' are examples that I think are fine here, but I think the most notable examples of things that are a bit more than palette swaps are the colored characters in sports games (''Superstar Baseball'' and Yoshi colors in ''Mario Tennis Open'' etc.) or Yoshies, Birdos, Toads and Shy Guys in ''Mario Kart Tour''. Species like Yoshi, Toad and Shy Guy already have a weird history with the whole palette swaps vs. distinct character deal, which is why I'm more hesitant to write them off as mere palette swaps (especially when many games consistently use Yoshi colors more as names rather than just extensions of Yoshi himself), so I don't really think it's fair to list them here when, in those cases, they're not really being written off as just a different color of a character, they're separate character options. Most other examples are palette swaps that allow players to use the same character at the same time. {{User:Tails777/sig}}

| ::::::::::::Yeah the costume changes should not be there. Keep it to palette changes and texture recolors. {{User:Mario/sig}} 22:49, June 6, 2024 (EDT)

| A lot of the sections right now are quite short. Really quite short. And a bit samey in some cases, too. Might there perhaps be a possibility to merge some of these, e.g. the ''Super Smash Bros.'' sections? Also, {{@|VideoGamePhenomHD}}, I think it's best that the article links should stay out of sections.<br>Both of these are mentioned in [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Sections of an article]], specifically [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#History|History]] and [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Section headings|Section headings]], respectively. {{User:Arend/sig}} 17:10, June 7, 2024 (EDT)
