Hey guys, I'm pretty new here, but I'd like to add the Power Moon names into the respective pages since I know a good source to find them all. Do you guys know how to edit the pages themselves?

We have to address this issue sooner or later, might as well be sooner.

The ''Super Mario Odyssey'' [[Template:SMO kingdoms|kingdoms template]] currently lists every single checkpoint in the game, with links (mostly red) to each and every one of them, as if to suggest we should actually create articles for all of them. We should ''not''. Do we have articles for every Power Moon? No. Do we have articles for every [[List of treasures in Wario: Master of Disguise|treasure]] in ''Wario: Master of Disguise''? No. Should we give articles to every single solitary checkpoint in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' just because they have a name? No, no, a thousand times ''no''. We don't split Windswept Valley from [[Tiny-Huge Island]], nor do we split Hoohoo Mountain Base from [[Hoohoo Mountain]]. Something must be done.

There was a [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/51#Do_not_create_Super_Mario_Odyssey_sublocation_pages|proposal]] about this last year which the proposer ended up canceling. The problem with this proposal was that it wasn't clear enough about exactly which locations should get articles and which shouldn't. So I went over them and organized them into groups: what we should keep, what we ''might'' want to keep, and what we should get rid of.

== Mario Kart Tour globe ==
In official artwork, the globe used uses the map design from this game. Ive made an image showing matching coastlines here. even the lake and an island is present, it is simplified but it is based on it. [[User:RSM|RSM]], hoping to make amends soon. 12:10, March 5, 2022 (EST)

== Remove Enemy Table Spoils Column? ==
{{talk}}
I'm don't think I like spoils section in enemy tables. The big thing here is that almost everything in Odyssey appears in five different contexts with different kinds of rewards. [[Yoofoe]] is probably the big stickler here, considering the Power Moon and the Life Up Heart are from different circumstances yet saying which ones they are would shove much of the Yoofoe article into the enemy table's box. Also [[Cheep Cheep]], where the one you fish out may as well be different objects than the ones you can bump into but both of their "spoils" are lumped together as though they are interacted with in the same way.

:I am biased because I am the person who first started integrating this information for the 3D ''Super Mario'' games many years ago, beginning with ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', but I believe it is brief and valuable information. What an enemy drops when defeated sometimes varies on the context, but I feel like that is information that can be further stipulated on their respective enemy articles. Simply having quick cursory context clarifying that enemies sometimes drop things different from others provided mechanical context that I think is nice. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 22:44, August 23, 2024 (EDT)

== Does the Roll Cancel exist? ==
I tried to do a Roll Cancel, but there seems to not be any kind of visual indicator or unique effect. Mechanics relating to ending a roll quickly aren't listed on Roll. This page's controls section is based heavily on the Prima guide, but the official excerpt includes the control scheme and does not have an entry for Roll Cancel. Can Mario cancel a roll at will (therefore being better at Spin Dashing than Sonic the Hedgehog) or is the Roll Cancel just a pipe dream? [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 06:14, December 23, 2024 (EST)
Ah. I misread the instruction. I was pressing A and B and then when that didn't work I pressed X and Y. It works by pressing A and X or B and Y. (Or perhaps A and Y or B and X if you're a rebel) This is one of those oddballs isn't it. The "roll cancel" is just cancelling a Roll into a Cap Throw, so it doesn't even have it's own animation. On the other hand, no other combination of inputs can work this way, since A causes Long Jump and X makes the roll go faster. And it isn't just canceling the Long Jump with a Cap Throw because Long Jumps are accompanied by Mario's hollers, which aren't heard with this input.  Roll Cancel stands, though maybe we can change the name to "Cancel a roll" so it is less name-like?

I think that this is a case where I would sacrifice specificity for clarity. "press {{button|switch|y}} or {{button|switch|x}} and {{button|switch|b}} or {{button|switch|a}} at the same time" is really hard to parse, even if its right. I'd try "press one button from both pairs of face buttons at the same time" [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 11:22, December 23, 2024 (EST)
