Categories "Items" and "Playable Characters"?

I'm not sure how something this generic deserves to have its own article. It's just a cursor, nothing more. Shall we delete it? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 19:23, 3 December 2018 (EST) | I'm not sure how something this generic deserves to have its own article. It's just a cursor, nothing more.

:Merge it with the section on the SNES article regarding the mouse, I'd say.

Given the content on this page, it would normally qualify as a [[MarioWiki:Generic subjects|generic subject]], and should therefore be deleted. | Given the content on this page, it would normally qualify as a [[MarioWiki:Generic subjects|generic subject]], and should therefore be deleted. | ||
However, in light of Doomhiker's suggestion above, I'd say that we should likely expand this article. Other games such as ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and the 3DS/Switch versions of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' make extended use of a "cursor" which '''might''' be worth documenting since it's potentially less generic. If that happens, I say we rename this page to {{fake link|Cursor}} | However, in light of Doomhiker's suggestion above, I'd say that we should likely expand this article.

#{{User|Doomhiker}} Per my comment in the discussion above I personally think that there is enough unique uses of the curser to warrant a full article. As for cursers that should definitely be included in the article if this option passes would include the curser from 3DS/Switch versions of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', as that curser can stun enemies and throw [[turnip]]s, and also the curser from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', with its ability being similar from the curser for Captain Toad (except for the turnip-trowing capabilities). Another potential curser to be included in this article would be the cursers from the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' series, with its ability to trow [[Star Bit]]s. Potentially the curser from ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' could also get in due to its ability to change the look of the hand, but that probably would still qualify as a [[MarioWiki:Generic subjects|generic subject]]. | #{{User|Doomhiker}} Per my comment in the discussion above I personally think that there is enough unique uses of the curser to warrant a full article.
