{{TPP}}
The more I think about the proposal that merged this page, the less sense it makes. The fact that the article was too short was by no means a valid reason to delete it, and of course ''Mario'' elements were split into a subsection, that's how this wiki handles every guest appearance title. The ''Wreck-It Ralph'' comparison is also weak. ''Mario Bros 3'' played a large enough role in the movie and, to quote Wikipedia, "officially introduced ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' to North America", not to mention, Mario is on the cover. What was ''Mario'''s role in ''Wreck-It Ralph''? Few cameos that didn't play any significant role in the movie. The biggest one I can think of is Bowser that appeared in one scene. ''The Wizard'', on the other hand, is a part of ''Mario'' history and treating it like a "reference in film" is doing it disservice. I propose to either reinstate this as a guest appearance title or as "historically significant".

#{{User|Hewer}} Per proposal. I don't get the "historically significant" option though, [[MarioWiki:Coverage]] describes this designation as being for "games that have had a notable impact on the ''Super Mario'' franchise despite not being a part of the franchise in any way". In other words, it's for things that weren't originally Mario-related but later became so, which doesn't apply here as The Wizard was always Mario-related.

#{{User|Camwoodstock}} Given how the proposal to similarly merge [[Pixels]] went, we think this is only fair. We did say, after all, that either we wanted these all merged, or for this and Wreck-It Ralph to get their articles back (while the Mario cameos in Ralph are a lot less substantial as Bowser is moreso a part of an ensemble than a full cameo like, say, Q*Bert, he does still get a prominent role and was repeatedly shown in trailers, a few items show up in the Lost & Found, and Mario himself even gets name-dropped, though he never appears on-screen.) So, failing the former, we might as well do the latter, and this brings us closer to that. All we ask for is some consistency, and this is helping with that!
#{{User|Pseudo}} Per proposal.

#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Arend}} Much like how DK and the ''Donkey Kong'' arcade game is relevant to ''[[Pixels]]'', so is ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' to ''The Wizard''. In fact, both are rather ''significant'' to the respective films' climax.
#{{User|Killer Moth}} Per all.
#{{User|Hooded Pitohui}} Per proposal.
#{{User|Sparks}} Per all.
#{{User|Shy Guy on Wheels}} Per all. ''The Wizard'' is essentially just an advertisement for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', so giving the film it's own page make a lot of sense.
#{{User|Pizza Master}} If [[Pixels]] gets its own article, then why not this? Per Camwoodstock.
#{{User|OmegaRuby}} Per all.
