The 'Shroom:Issue LXI/Pipe Plaza
Director's Notes (Paper Yoshi (talk))Hello readers, and welcome to the April '12 Issue of Pipe Plaza!! First of all, I'd like to thank the former Pipe Plaza Director, Marioguy1 (talk), and the rest of the Core Staff for this oportunity. As I probably said in previous issues, I simply love writing for the paper, and actually directing the team you have been contributing to for over a year is a pleasing reward, albeit not an easy one, for sure. As always, I'll try to do my very best Now, don't waste your time with me! Go read this month's issue! Tip of the Month (FunkyK38 (talk))When checking edits that seem wrong on a page, use the "History" button, next to the "Edit" tab at the top. You can compare previous edits to the current edit, and it will also tell you who made that particular edit. This feature is also helpful with talkpages. If you find that someone has deleted a comment that someone else left for whatever reason, you can undo the edit easily by hitting the "undo" button next to the most recent edit. Forum Update (MrConcreteDonkey (talk))Hey, everyone, it's MrConcreteDonkey, and welcome again to Forum Update. First, I'd like to congratulate Paper Yoshi for becoming the new director of Pipe Plaza. Now, let's take a look at what's happened recently on the forum: Top Stories: apocalypseArisen (Master Crash (talk)) was promoted to Forum Administrator in early April. Crash has been around on the forum since 2007, so he's a very experienced member of the community. Congratulations! PipeProjects have been moved from the Wiki to the Forum, taking the form of a new board called Wiki Collaborations. The one who brought up the overhaul was Forum Administrator and Wiki bureaucrat Glowsquid (Glowsquid (talk)), who helped a lot with the move. The types of thread that can be made there are:
UltraMario (UltraMario3000 (talk)) was banned for two weeks, for posting inappropriate images and videos. Stats: As I'm writing this, 2012 topics have been made in 2012. That's pretty nice. In March, 511 new topics were made, and 24992 posts. 38 members joined, which is the same as January's amount, and 151 was the most people online at once (I'd like to specify that this includes registered members and guests). This was the highest so far in 2012, and was on the 10th.

Mario Calendar (Paper Yoshi (talk))Welcome to April's Mario Calendar, everyone!! We're now here to see all the Mario, Yoshi, DK and Wario games released in the first (full) month of spring (or autumn/fall for those from the Southern Hemisphere, just like me).
And that's all for this month!! I'll see you in Upcoming Games! Upcoming Games (Paper Yoshi (talk))Hello there, and welcome to the April Issue of Upcoming Games! This month's Upcoming Game will be released for the Nintendo 3DS in late May, and many of its features have already been unveiled. The game So warm up and get your gear all set up, because April's Upcoming Game is... Mario Tennis Open!Mario Tennis Open marks the return of the Mario Tennis series after the release of Mario Power Tennis (Mario Tennis: Power Tour in North America) for the Game Boy Advance in 2005. It's the sixth game of the series, the third in a handheld console. However, MTO is more closely related to the console Mario Tennis games, being the first handheld installment in the series without a Story Mode or RPG elements. Mario Tennis Open is set to add new features to the Mario Tennis series, such as touch screen control to execute moves and online multiplayer, while keeping game modes and gameplay mechanics from previous games. Game modes include Exhibition Mode, with Singles and Doubles matches, and Special Games, aside from the new-to-the-series Online Multiplayer, which connects to players around the world using the Nintendo Network. So far, 12 characters from the Mario series have been confirmed to appear in the game. Additionally, players will be able to choose their Mii instead of regulars such as Mario or Yoshi. Miis will also be customizable with tennis gear, allowing players to alter their Miis' stats. Release Dates
