| :::::Yeah, I'm not at all convinced we need to make a separate article for the Mario Kart appearances. It should just be mentioned here, although I think we should avoid claiming that they're the exact same sphinx, since I highly doubt it. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 18:36, October 17, 2019 (EDT) | | :::::Yeah, I'm not at all convinced we need to make a separate article for the Mario Kart appearances.

| :Trig said "a page or mention". Other instances of Yoshi-like Sphinxes warrant a mention, per an "Other appearances" section or similar. Not much to argue about once we get past that initial misunderstanding. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 18:42, October 17, 2019 (EDT)

| ::On the Yoshi Sphinx page we would put the Sticker Star sphinx in the history section, we would just a main article (this) for the level. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 19:36, October 17, 2019 (EDT)

| == Splitting and MarioWiki:New Articles ==

| Even as an RPG, Sticker Star (and probably by extension, Color Splash, but I have no clue about Color Splash) is divided into levels and qualifies for the same rules that enforce the existence of independent level articles that [[World 1-Rainbow]] from New Super Mario Bros 2, [[Secret Course 16]] from Super Mario Run, and [[Stitchy Scramble]] from Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World do.

| Whats going on? Sticker Star is a black sheep in Mario RPGs for a reason. Many reasons, but one of those reasons is that it's straight up divided into levels. (Well, the [https://cdn02.nintendo-europe.com/media/downloads/games_8/emanuals/nintendo_3ds_2/paper_mario_sticker_star/ElectronicManual_Nintendo3DS_PaperMarioStickerStar_EN.pdf manual] (US) calls them "stages". This wiki's article says "level" directly, as in "worlds are segmented into levels". Darn you insistent terminology!) As in, there is a world map, with which you move from unlocked level to unlocked level. Blue nodes for complete levels, red nodes for incomplete levels. Each level has a code. When a level is entered, Mario strictly starts at one point of the level, and has to make his way through a guantlet of enemies, platforms, and cutscenes to reach the other. There is a goal on the other side, in which touching it instantly terminates the level. In doing so, this clears the level and unlocks another level on the map. This is referenced in the manual as "completing" stages, as in the phrase: "Get a comet piece to complete a stage" Some levels have multiple goals, and Mario Wiki articles on them call the extra goals "secret exits" just as we do for articles on New Super Mario Bros.

| There's only two locations in the whole game that are considered non-levels: [[Decalburg]] and [[Surfshine Harbor]]. The manual prefers calling them towns. Everything else totally counts, meaning [[MarioWiki:New articles]]'s section on [[MarioWiki:New articles#Level articles|Level articles]] kicks in and makes W2-2 of Sticker Star an independent article. I'm not against articles for recurring background objects, but levels are levels and background objects are not, and policy says levels get to be separate. Sticker Star doesn't have to say "Course Cleared!" by word for that to happen [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 05:42, October 29, 2024 (EDT)
