Editing Talk:Paper Mario


==Linking to other pages==
Only link to another page once, the first time it appears in the article. '''DO NOT''' link to one page every time the word appears in an article. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 21:11, 23 Nov 2005 (EST)

== Page Length ==

Due to the huge length of this page, I propose that we take certain sections, such as the Bestiary, and make it an entirely new section, and place a link to that section where the information currently is. --[[User:Master Gamer|Master Gamer]] 22:12, 1 June 2006 (EDT)

:That's fine. Go to it! =) --[[User:Son of Suns|Son of Suns]] 00:12, 2 June 2006 (EDT)

::Yeah, kind of like I've done with the ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's]]'' sections. Please check out how I've some of the section moves in the ''PM:TTYD'' article so we can keep the same format. --[[User:DarkInsanity|DarkInsaniy]] ('''''[[User_talk:DarkInsanity|talk]]''''')

:::Do we really need to have the Bosses section? Pretty much all of the information there is already listed in the Bestiary, and it would save a lot of space. --[[User:Master Gamer|Master Gamer]] 23:01, 4 June 2006 (EDT) 

== Yoshi Series ==

Should we put information that the game had many references to the [[Yoshi]] series? Like [[Raphael the Raven]] was in it, and many of the enemies in [[Lavalava Island]] resemble the enemies in the Yoshi Series. Also [[Poochy]] and [[Nep-Enut]] were going to appear in the game. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''[[User talk:Paper Jorge|aper]] '''[[User:Paper Jorge/sig|Jorge]]'''</font></span>

:That would be acceptable. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

::Also note [[Big Lantern Ghost]]. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''[[User talk:Paper Jorge|aper]] '''[[User:Paper Jorge/sig|Jorge]]'''</font></span>

==Cannoncy==
I have heard people say this game is not cannon? is that true? (PAl101)

absolutly not! This game is a spin-off, obviously, but canon as such! {{User:Maxlover2/sig}}

Since when did Mario have a cannon? [[User:HammerToad|HammerToad]] ([[User talk:HammerToad|talk]]) 21:32, 30 April 2014 (EDT)
:Why are you replying to a years old comment? {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 21:34, 30 April 2014 (EDT)
:Since [[Bill Blaster|1985]]? :D. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 21:40, 30 April 2014 (EDT)

== 3D ==
Do you think we should keep the 3D section I added. I like it but I'm new to the site.

== Virtual Console yet? ==

Yeah yeah, we know that Paper Mario's been ''confirmed'' for the Virtual Console. But is it actually out yet? VC's article said it was.

:I didn't see it when I looked this morning. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 20:33, 25 June 2007 (EDT)

::Europe and Japan arleady have it on VC. America doesn't. Should add that. <big>'''Super'''''[[User:Super Luigi 821|Luigi]]'''''821'''''</big>

== Hard hitting ==

is it possible to hit harder than this?
i used both power plus badges, p-up d-down, all or nothing, super jump charge and mega jump {{User:AndreZoio/sig}}
[[Image:Packapunch.gif|thumb]]

:Use [http://forum.mariowiki.com/ the forum] for things like this, Andre. {{User:YellowYoshi398/sig}}

Ok
{{User:AndreZoio/sig}}

Also any map to show all of the locations in this game?([[User:Super F22 Pilot|Super F22 Pilot]] 02:08, 26 January 2008 (EST))

==Useless Section==
The similarities with its predecessor its simply useless, its like making one in mario kart wii that says:
Its curious that in all Mario Kart games to date, the characters drive karts.

So i say this section should be erased, because they are facts that anyone can notice and we dont need 10 parragraphs explaining why Luigi led both parades or why Bowser cant be reached in the sky {{User:Tucayo/sig}}

Are you referring to the entire section, or just those two pieces of information? -SolarBlaze

==Under construction?==
Why has the Artwork section got the construction template? what is it missing? {{User:Tucayo/sig|SHROOM}}

That's probably because all of the official artwork for the game hasn't been added yet.

== The Bloopers are optional bosses? ==
This page (and several others) list the three big Bloopers as optional bosses. I don't think you can say that. As far as I know you can only reach the Snow City by going through the Tunnels and finding the Super Boots there. I played Paper Mario last week and you must fight the Super Blooper to proceed to the Penguin Village which wouldn't make him an optional boss. I think we should change it. [[User:Neptun|Neptun]] 18:36, 30 January 2011 (EST)
:I trust you, and I think you should do it since you played it recently. I think I remember that too. [[User:A Link to the Present|A Link to the Present]] 13:51, 9 April 2011 (EDT)

Only the first Blooper is required. If [[Mario]] does not go to anywhere he fights a Blooper except for where he needs to use [[Sushie]] to cross the lake, he will fight the first Blooper.

So Blooper (''just'' Blooper) needs to be removed from Optional Bosses. [[User:Magic Koopa Guy|Magic Koopa Guy]] ([[User talk:Magic Koopa Guy|talk]]) 11:36, 2 March 2013 (EST)

Actually, ''only'' Super Blooper is required. --[[User:Super Mario Man|Super Mario Man]] ([[User talk:Super Mario Man|talk]])

== Wrong Link ==
On Paper Mario's article, if you view mario's partners and click on kooper's fire shell attack, it will lead you to a page about the fire shell armor on super mario rpg, instead of the actual attack. I can't fix this because i can't remember how to put links when you edit an article but i would apreciate it if someone fixed this and told me how to put links when you edit an article.
:Thanks, Anonymous. I fixed it. Also put a double [ on one side and a double ] on the other. Putting a | in the link will make what is to the right of it appear in the article, and to the left of it what article it links to. EX: [Mario] or [Fire Shell (move)|Fire Shell]. Remember to use two brackets instead of one. Also, sign comments with four ~s. [[User:A Link to the Present|A Link to the Present]] 13:49, 9 April 2011 (EDT)

== Widescreen? ==

Some of these screenshots appear widescreen. I thought the Nintendo 64 was fullscreen? maybe? somebody help? [[User:A Link to the Present|A Link to the Present]] 13:51, 9 April 2011 (EDT)

== Table mix-up ==

Can someone fix the boss list table and Super Smash Bros. Melee trophy tables?  They're kind of mixed up, but I can't figure out how to fix them. Thanks, [[User:Warioad|Warioad]] ([[User talk:Warioad|talk]]) 11:44, 14 February 2015 (EST)


==Items==
This article needs to have an items list. I looked through the whole article and couldn't find anything about items. Maybe I could take the whole day tomorrow to work on that?

== Special Treasure Chest ==
{{talk}}
[[File:MarioandMerluvlee.png|thumb|center|The treasure chest in question to the left.]]
I remember some dialog that [[Peach]] says to [[Twink]] about what the treasure chest is called and its origin story when you control Peach during her segments of the game. What is the exact name of the treasure chest and do we have an article for that, similarly to the [[Black Chest]] of [[Paper Mario 2]]? I'm having a hard time finding it. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 17:29, 15 April 2016 (EDT)
:I tried to locate an article about this treasure chest when I wrote that section, but I couldn't find one. Once the page is in a somewhat more presentable shape overall and it hasn't been done already, an appropriate article can be created and linked proper in the section you tagged. Mind you, I am still in the middle of overhauling this page, as I have been for the last few days. The shop section is still under construction, as are other parts of the article.- {{User:Edofenrir/sig}} 17:39, 15 April 2016 (EDT)
::It seems like an article can be created now, but under {{tem|conjecture}}, at least to my knowledge of the game and MarioWiki's current content. To access Peach's end of the chest and not [[Merluvlee]]'s end, only certain ''end of chapter'' sequences allow anytime access. Since you are reconstructing the article in general, wouldn't {{tem|construction}} be called for? --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 17:57, 15 April 2016 (EDT)
:An article could be created under a conjectural name, yes. I have no idea as to what it's called, though. --{{User:Henry Tucayo Clay/sig}} 19:08, 15 April 2016 (EDT)
::For the record, the game refers to it as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sc7dAkKVbwc "a beautifully crafted treasure chest" once and "a mysterious treasure chest" multiple times]. The guide also calls it "the storeroom treasure chest". Calling the article "Treasure chest (Paper Mario)" would be find, and it hardly counts as a conjectural name. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:::So the article name should be [[Mysterious Treasure Chest]]? --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 21:41, 15 April 2016 (EDT)
::::That might be pushing it too far; it's ultimately up to your discretion, but "mysterious treasure chest" is treated far more as a generic descriptor than a proper name. Without anything more definitive, we sometimes have no choice but to grab a name from a random piece of dialogue, but in this case, I'd prefer the name I suggested. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:::::So [[mysterious treasure chest]] it is then? I think this is the best we can do, unless there is a strategy guide calling it something else. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 21:48, 15 April 2016 (EDT)
:There are PrimaGames and BradyGames guides out there for Paper Mario, but it's a moot point if nobody owns them. The guide I cited about is the Nintendo Player's Guide, and again, it only seems to refer to the chest as the "storeroom treasure chest". As I said above, I'd prefer "Treasure Chest (Paper Mario)", but again, I'll leave it up to you. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
::OK, [[Treasure Chest (Paper Mario)]] as the main page and using ''[[Mysterious Treasure Chest]]'' and ''[[mysterious treasure chest]]'' as redirects and will be mentioned as alternative names. I'll be using [[Treasure Chest (Wario Land 4)]] as a suggested structure. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 22:01, 15 April 2016 (EDT)
