The 'Shroom:Issue 124/Pipe Plaza
Director’s Notes
Hello readers! Welcome to Pipe Plaza, the 'Shroom team with more tables than a 5-star restaurant. And, if you ask me, better food as well. At least for me, you stay with your scraps.
Sadly, we bid farewell to our Fun Stuff director, Andymii (talk) this issue. Andymii has been with the wiki since 2014, and I still remember when he was editing under his original username, Andyni. I also remember helping him out with a couple of things, like his first ever article.
It's been nice seeing him grow from a nervous newbie, to a fully accomplished veteran editor, who was well-versed in most things. It's a little sad seeing him go, it's almost like losing one of your own children, but I'm sure that he will go on to do great things, because from what I've seen from him, he's got a good brain, and the will to do better.
Farewell, Andymii. Good luck with all your endeavours, and make sure you pop in every now and then.

| Time Turner (talk) | Remove the eleventh featured article/list standard A proposal to remove the eleventh featured article/list standard: "[An article must] be of reasonable length and not marked as a stub.". The proposer argues that it is too vague to be of any practical use, and it would be difficult to use our current featured articles for comparison since they have wildly different sizes. |

| RECENT TALK PAGE PROPOSALS | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| PROPOSER | SUMMARY | OUTCOME | DEADLINE |
| Wildgoosespeeder (talk) | Repurpose {{more media}} Template. A proposal to repurpose the {{more media}} template. The proposer argues that there is some potential for this to be reused once again and that a lot of games are lacking media catalogs. The proposer also argues that we should revitalize this unused template, but mainly use it for main game pages missing such files. |

| Luigi 64DD (talk) | Classify Yoshi's Woolly World/Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World as games in the Yoshi's Island series. A proposal to classify Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World as games in the Yoshi's Island series. The proposer argues that they have nearly identical gameplay to games in the Yoshi's Island series and that Yoshi's Story is considered to be a member of the Yoshi's Island series despite having differences from other games in the series. |
VETOED BY THE ADMINISTRATORS (read more) | July 9, 2017, 23:59 GMT |
| Wildgoosespeeder (talk) | Merge Panel de Pon with Tetris Attack. A proposal to merge Panel de Pon with Tetris Attack. The proposer argues that this isn't a Mario game and the only thing this has in common with any articles here is Tetris Attack. |

| Toadette the Achiever (talk) | Rename Bumper (Super Mario Maker) to Bumper (object). A proposal to rename Bumper (Super Mario Maker) to Bumper (object). The proposer argues that a game identifier is too inconsistent with other naming conventions. |

| PROPOSER | SUMMARY | LINK | DEADLINE |
| Time Turner (talk) | Delete Superboss. A proposal to delete the Superboss article. The proposer argues that the Super Mario Wiki don't have articles on mini-bosses or regular bosses. The proposer also argues that It's mostly regurgitating information from other articles. |
12-0 (read more) | July 14, 2017, 23:59 GMT |
| YoshiFlutterJump (talk) | Rename King Bill (New Super Mario Bros. Wii). A proposal to rename the article King Bill (New Super Mario Bros. Wii). The proposer argues that this name is not official and only comes from a Prima guide. The proposer also argues that it's too confusing having two articles titled "King Bill" and that MarioWiki:Naming said that Prima guides are only valid sources if a game was released before Super Mario Galaxy. |
3-1-12 (read more) | July 15, 2017, 23:59 GMT |
| 7feetunder (talk) | Merge Wario Punch to Punch. A proposal to merge Wario Punch with Punch. The proposer argues that there's nothing special about this very short article and that the name "Wario Punch" is conjectural. |

Greetings everyone! Alex95 here to tell you all about an upcoming game and my thoughts about it. As one of the newly announced games at this year's E3, Metroid: Samus Returns was met with both praise and criticism. Samus Returns is a remake of Metroid II: Return of Samus, which was released for the Game Boy back in 1991, and was also my first Metroid game. I'm very excited to see it get an official overhaul, though some fans are somewhat confused or angry at this remake due to an unofficial fan project known as AM2R (or Another Metroid 2 Remake) being released then subsequently taken down by Nintendo themselves earlier this year. Regardless of how you look at it, Samus Returns is looking to be great, and will help bridge the gap between now and when the next Metroid game gets released.
As a remake of Metroid II, it is to be expected that Samus Returns will follow the same storyline. The Galactic Federation has deemed the Metroids to be too dangerous to exist, and calls on Samus Aran's help to wipe them out. Metroids are life-sucking creatures, but we don't really get to see that much unless they latch onto Samus herself. In this remake, aggressive Metroids are shown tackling other aliens, then sucking the life force out of them, leaving an empty shell behind. Samus goes in to investigate and do her job, but soon finds that the Metroids are evolving like Pokémon. The more life force the Metroids gather, the stronger they become, so it's up to Samus to defeat the Metroids quickly and restore peace to the galaxy.
This remake uses 3D polygons instead of 2D sprites, like with the original, and the environments are beautifully remastered in this game. The original game was black and white, maybe some extra color if you were playing it on a Game Boy Color, but now the world of SR388 is now full of color and vibrant, but the game still retains the dark tone it originally had. As you move through the world and defeat the Metroids, you'll come across power-ups, like the Spider Ball or Super Missile. If you want to find all the secrets SR388 holds and to be successful in your main quest, you'll need to make use of everything at your disposal.
However, this isn't going to be a simple remake. The world layout appears to be mostly the same, but there will be additional secrets and moves to learn. Whether you're a fan of Metroid: Other M or not, you may remember that Samus gets up close and personal with her enemies in that game, pulling off combat moves when an enemy gets near or during certain events. When an enemy gets near or charges at Samus, you can press the 
button to strike at your opponent and temporarily stun them. If you attack them with the Arm Cannon immediately after striking them, you can deal more damage, a critical hit! Another interesting addition is the special skill called "Aeion". There appears to be multiple types of this move, with one electrifying Samus's armor and another that scans the surrounding area. Previous 2D Metroid games allowed you to only fire forward or up, with those starting from Super Metroid (which isn't an actual Metroid, unfortunately) allowing Samus to fire diagonally upward or downward. Samus Returns takes that a step further and allows full control of where she's aiming. Samus stays rooted to the spot when she does this, or it can used when she's hanging from a ledge, but she can now aim and fire in any direction, which also has a red line coming from her Arm Cannon that shows where players are aiming. There are also two new amiibo being released alongside the game, one based on Samus and the other being a Metroid. Samus is incredibly shiny, and the Metroid is squishy. The exact functionality of which is unknown, but the game will also be compatible with Samus and Zero Suit Samus from the Smash line. Zero Suit Samus can also be seen when Samus gets defeated, so with her amiibo being compatible… perhaps it's a secret "Justin Bailey"-type option, where you can play as Zero Suit Samus instead?
Thoughts
As my first Metroid game, I'm super excited to see this get a remake! …Oh, wait, I already said that. For those of you that didn't play the original game, now is your chance! And if you've already played AM2R or if you dislike Nintendo's stance on it, think of Samus Returns as a second remake, with AM2R being made in Super Metroid-style and Samus Returns being in modern style. Hey, if Mario can do it, Samus can, too. See you next mission!

Thread(s) of the Month(s)
March's Thread of the Month went to Packy's 30 Day Video Game Challenge - a huge, month-long challenge where participants were asked one question a day relating to video games. This ended up being a really fun experience, so well done to Packy for running and updating it for a month. Runners-up included Poll Talk by Alex95, YOU MAY FIND YOURSELF by GBAToad, and choose my theme!!! by Snack.
Thread of the Month for April went to i im the ral gabumon by Mr. Edo, a thread with a shocking twist. SiFi's After Mario 64 came close, as did Lord Bowser's A Serious Confession and Pink Cat's Redraw the above user's avatar terribly.
May's Thread of the Month was SiFi's Hilarious name change idea that I'm too chicken to actually try, a short but very funny thread. Intervention for Packy's Like Addiction by DragonFreak, Let's list everyone who is not a true Mario Fan and throw them out. by Freakworld, and Okay which one of you created this copypasta by Moofle were all honourable mentions.
Quotes
- "what you dont know is that unbanning on marioboards is a zero sum game so we must offer an equivalent shitposter to the ban gods in ultramarios place. i'll miss you, freakworld" - GBAToad
- "Fun fact: I, R, and C are all letters featured in "Ice cream", which is a delicious treat that everybody loves. I believe this tells us which chat service we should really be joining." - Mr. Edo
- "for the lord looked upon his children, and saw they needed something delicious and nutritious, and he said, "lo, have here an egg". and a bunny came along and shat out fourteen hundred eggs and the children were happy" - Nabber, on the meaning of Easter
- "i submit for consideration that turb, the literal anime, has described uniju as "my best friend" and freakworld as "very strange and doesn't have good taste most of the time"" - 2257
- "AYYYYYYYYY LMAOOOOOO VIDEO REMOVED CAUSE I JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE ENTIRE THING AND DIDN'T SEE THE ENDING COMING AT ALL AND CAN'T DELETE POSTS AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" - Moofle, after accidentally posting a certain Lasagna Cat video
Mafia and Other Games
The only game currently ongoing is Perch and GBAToad's Awards Mafia 6 (Sign-Ups/Lounge) but a number of games in the Mafia board are quite close to starting, so it's never too late to get involved.
Firstly, in Stargazing's Vanilla Mafia (Lounge) In this game, all players except the Godfather were Vanilla (had no powers). Eventually, the game was won by the Mafia - all four of whom survived. Some (including the host) felt the Innocent-Mafia ratio was a bit too high, but everyone agreed it was a fun game, and as the first one in a while it helped a lot in reviving the board:
- "That's the best thing of this game, participation. Normally, games have a few inactive, but this game did not have a single inactive. Everyone contributed to the discussion and had a good time, as short-lived as it was." - Stargazing
- "Hey I actually called 3 of the Mafia" - Shoey
Next up came Roserade's Vigilante Mafia (Lounge) - in this game, all the Mafia (except the Godfather) were Vanilla, but all the Innocents were Vigilantes (they could kill one other player at any point in the game). In the end, however, the Innocents won, with just three of them remaining.
- "Being the host for such a hectic game was both nerve-wracking and incredibly fun at the same time." - Roserade
The next game I'm going to talk about isn't actually a Mafia game. There are some similar elements - people die, people vote for who they think did it, people have roles...but on the whole it's very different.
Mario Awards Killing Game
This game was hosted by Lord Bowser, as part of the anniversary celebrations. The basic premise is that 16 players are invited to Luigi's Mansion, and only one can survive...but it's not the ghosts that'll kill them - it's each other!
...Or, in less dramatic terms: the game is split into Night/Day phases. At Night, players are free to explore the Mansion (mostly) as they please, and can do pretty much anything - however, by the end of the Night, one player is dead! In the Day, the other players must investigate the death, and then vote upon who they think the killer is. It's pretty much Mafia meets Danganronpa. Due to the often bizarre and hilarious actions of the players, the game managed to attract attention from some users who weren't even participating. It even had its own IRC channel, #mwiki-killing-game, which remained active throughout the game's run.
After many hectic phases - all but one of which the players managed to successfully lynch the murderer - Turboo emerged the winner, and escaped with his life. Congrats to him for winning, and to Lord Bowser for hosting an incredible game and keeping so on top of something that looks very complicated to host.

Hello, readers! I'm your Spotlight manager and Pipe Plaza Director, Yoshi876. Welcome to Retro Feature, a section in which I delve deep into the archives to bring you the best blasts from the past. The 'Shroom has always been community based, what with being our community newsletter. Over the year, we've had a wide variety of sections involving things that have almost nothing to do with Mario, including a massive user brawl. One of the best instances of this comes from Funnies, a section where users were allowed to post their own comics. Below is the Funnies section from Issue VII, for those who don't know roman numerals, this means that it was our seventh issue. Enjoy!

Oh hi! I didn't see you there! Welcome to Anniversary Announcements! Are you interested in some of our finest news? Now for the spicy price of… 0 Coins!
The Cheepskippers
The polls will close in a few days! You have just a little while left to vote last-minute!
After the polls close, the results will be tallied and send to the presenters that signed up for the respective presentations. There are, however, a number of awards that don't have a presenter yet, so if you feel up to it, sign up for one here!
Two months back, I mentioned that Steam changed the way it handles the purchase and gifting of items, mostly rendering our use of it unusable. We are currently still figuring out the best way to counter that.
We are hoping that Humble Bundle will be a good source of items if they have a summer sale, but otherwise we may have to change how prizes work, and be more dependent on monetary donations and gift cards.
Tournaments
Since last month, some stuff has happened on the tournament department! Let's see what's new.
| Anniversary Scavenger | |
|---|---|
| Lakituthequick | A scavenger hunt for a number of items related to the Mario series and a few closely related items. These items are hidden in several ways within the forums and related areas, but not all can be found yet. It is possible to start at any time during the Awards season. |

| The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Photo Hunt | |
| GBAToad | No news for this tournament since last month, so let's reiterate what this one is about. Very much alike to one of the main missions in the game, in this tournament you will search for 12 locations based on 12 pictures, and you in turn take pictures of them as well.
