== Super Mario USA ==

Those are ''Super Mario Advance'' images. SMUSA ones don't have that kind of shading. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:41, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

Hang on, my apologies, I misread the "other versions" line as the "source" line since some people use that for the game name for artwork (for whatever reason...) [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:47, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

== MPA proposal ==

Just letting you know, option 2 (your second choice) is now marginally ahead of option 1 (your first choice), so if you'd prefer option 1 to win, you may want to remove the secondary vote. (As for Hulu, I'm certain the "Bamboo Dancer" name was intentional, they didn't have a consistent appearance anyway).

== Super Mario RPG bestiary changes ==

I saw that you made changes to the enemy statboxes for the remake to be consistent with the original game's statboxes which I do agree with and is good work. However, there is one issue that came out of this, enemies which have a different name in the monster list have the article title by default. Examples of this include on the [[Cake (boss)]] and [[Smithy]] articles where there are no identifiers or monster list names in the statboxes. I've tried to find a solution myself but I'm can't figure it out without risking breaking a lot so I thought to bring it to your attention instead. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 06:30, May 12, 2024 (EDT)
:Whoops, I hadn't noticed. Thanks for pointing it out! I've got it fixed now, if I've done it right. It appears the issue was that my template {{Tem|SMRPG NS enemy}} (which I based on {{Tem|SMRPG enemy}}) used the code <code>altname</code> for things like this, whereas the previously used template {{Tem|SMRPG Monster List}} actually uses <code>switchname</code> instead. I've changed {{Tem|SMRPG NS enemy}} so it uses <code>switchname</code> as well instead of <code>altname</code>. {{User:Arend/sig}} 07:04, May 12, 2024 (EDT)

== Potential BJAODN collection rename ==

Hi! I'm considering a rename of one of the BJAODN collections you put together yesterday: [[MarioWiki:BJAODN/List articles|List articles]].

== Possible redefinition for a BJAODN page ==

:Thanks. Any chance you'd also like to translate the unlocking requirements? I'd kinda like to rearrange that character section to be by default->unlockable->DLC (and preferably that part by version update) rather than by alleged weight classes. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 02:08, July 7, 2024 (EDT)
::The [https://mariokart-acgpdx.bngames.net/character/ Japanese website] only seems to disclose unlock requirements for the alternate costumes: Tanooki Mario is unlocked by winning the Don-chan Cup at 50cc in Grand Prix mode, the other costumes are unlocked via QR codes. I do not know how one would unlock Bowser Jr, Wario or Waluigi. If you have another source with unlock methods, that'd be nice.<br>I also don't think AGPDX is using a weight class system, but rather a similar system to Arcade GP 2: according to the translator, [https://www.4gamer.net/games/203/G020305/20170605040/ this post] states that Daisy is the first female "Balance" type character to join the roster (not "Cruiser"), while [https://www.4gamer.net/games/203/G020305/20131217028/ this one] states Rosalina is a "High-speed" type character (not "Heavy"), and [https://www.4gamer.net/games/203/G020305/20181214119/ this one] states Lakitu is a "Handling" type character (not "Light"), and [https://www.4gamer.net/games/203/G020305/20171016082/ ''this'' one] states King Boo is a "Super handling" type (not "Feather"). I suppose the remaining class would be "Acceleration" then instead of "Medium". {{User:Arend/sig}} 02:41, July 7, 2024 (EDT)
:::Do the stat images we have not list the unlock requirements in Japanese? All the unlockable characters display Japanese text next to the stats, I figured that was it. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 02:51, July 7, 2024 (EDT)
::::[[:File:MKAGPDX Waluigi artwork.jpg|Oh, I see!]] Hum, well, using this image as an example, it appears Waluigi can be unlocked randomly as one of the prizes of this "Egg Slot" players can use after a race (strange how we don't have anything like that detailed on the page, I do recall a mechanical Yoshi-esque slot machine that gives random rewards in exchange for Mario Coins in gameplay footage). Same deal with Wario and Bowser Jr, but Bowser Jr can also be unlocked by clearing the Toad Cup in the 50cc Grand Prix. {{User:Arend/sig}} 03:14, July 7, 2024 (EDT)

== It's time for Spike Top (Blue) to get his own page ==

I know that the blue shelled Spike Top from paper mario has the same name but they're are many other enemies that have the same name as different enemies, and in it's mario maker appearances, it's skin becomes cyan than yellow, and now moves faster than It's Red Counterpart,

For the record, I didn't even mention shy guys or Koopa troopas once! What do they have to do with this conversation? [[Special:Contributions/5.80.95.135|5.80.95.135]] 17:34, August 27, 2024 (EDT)
:...You didn't need to state this on my talk page, dude. You're better off continuing the conversation [[Talk:Spike Top#Blue Spike Tops are different from normal ones|where it left off]] (and preferably ''not'' a month late), instead of separating it entirely by messaging me personally about some of my arguments.<br>In fact, it looks like you did do that ([[Talk:Spike Top#Blue Spike Tops are different from normal ones 2|under an unnecessary new topic header]]), where you practically said the exact same thing as you stated here, so messaging me about this here as well is entirely pointless.

== Question ==

Would you add minigame advantages to the Jamboree Buddies section in [[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]? Here are some confirmed ones:

Luigi: The game starts with the first room's puzzle solved. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPKFNwVWW3k From this video])

Donkey Kong: Matching the rhythm will be slightly easier. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucjs-wjvfeo From this video])

Daisy: Get 3 red medals at the start. ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f623bkogUO0 From this video])

So would you add these to the page very please? [[User:Justgetmycatch|Justgetmycatch]] ([[User talk:Justgetmycatch|talk]]) 13:24, October 1, 2024 (EDT)

== [[Princess Daisy (film character)|Movie Daisy]] ==
You said this year that Princess Daisy from [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|the 1993 film]] ain't [[Princess Daisy|the normal Daisy]], but in the movie Daisy article it says that [[Princess Daisy (film character)#Trivia|"this ias the second time that]] [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]] [[Princess Daisy (film character)#Trivia|is blond]]", so it AIN'T [[Princess Peach|Peach]], it's Daisy! IN YAH FACE!
{{unsigned|Weegie baby}}
:It said "''technically'' the second time", purely because movie!Daisy shares her name with regular Daisy (and also because NES Open Tournament Golf's Daisy is only blonde in-game; her artwork shows her with brown hair). This trivia point doesn't automatically mean that this Daisy was intended to be the same Daisy as the one from the games, ''especially'' since this point came from the wiki itself instead of some official source: because outside of this trivia point and the fact she's Luigi's love interest, movie!Daisy still shares more similarities with Peach than actual Daisy. Plus, previous concepts for this film had this same character named Hildy instead, so she was not intended to be the same Daisy of Sarasaland anyway.<br>I also have no idea why you suddenly wanted to tell me this with this kinda behavior. We literally never had beef with each other, as this is literally the first time we talked to each other. Plus, it was months ago, too (I still stand by my points, but it just feels a bit random to petsonally message me about this months later)<br>Also, don't forget to sign your comments next time. {{User:Arend/sig}} 16:19, October 10, 2024 (EDT)

== Could king boo be a big boo? ==

Here's some examples of how king boo is obviously a big boo:
Super mario 64 DS:  king boo was referred as big boo (though king boo wasn't specifically called big) and share it's model with the only difference being the crown.
Super princess peach: before the battle starts, king boo is shown to be a large boo when he doesn't have his crown on(possibly the same size as the big boos in the game)
Super mario bros wonder: unlike many appearances he makes, he's appears to be really huge! (Almost the same size as boohemoth)
I you might ask me about his first appearance in Luigi's mansion where he isn't really big at all but let's just say that he used to be the same size as them but Is now huge, it's okay if you don't agree. [[Special:Contributions/86.166.147.177|86.166.147.177]] 11:26, November 6, 2024 (EST)
:MarioComix argued [[Talk:King Boo#King boo is an atomic boo 2.0|here in the same conversation as I did]] that King Boo's exact size is wildly inconsistent across games.<br>Also, this is the THIRD TIME you personally messaged me to continue something from another talk page conversation for NO GOOD REASON; why couldn't you continue this on the King Boo talk page ''instead''?! (The THIRD TIME I have to remind you this too btw)<br>Also also, the things MarioComix and I said were back on August 5. Why did you suddenly decide to message me about this THREE MONTHS LATER on November 6? This is even worse than when you personally messaged me about the blue Spike Tops one month late. {{User:Arend/sig}} 19:44, November 6, 2024 (EST)

Okay, okay! Geez, I'll try messaging you earlier for now on. Also, what's your problem, man? I'll messaged you about this because I was curious. So you saying that is completely pointless and kind of rude(Plus theirs nothing wrong with users messaging others because it happens all the time). ([[User talk:31.127.147.101|talk]]) 16:40, November 13, 2024 (EST)
:I just think it's kinda weird to continue a discussion from a general talk page on a certain subject, to a random user's talk page ''just'' because they joined in on the conversation and disagreed with you. Plus, it makes it more difficult for everyone else to follow along with the discussion (especially if they ''also'' joined in on the conversation), since it's being held on several random talk pages instead of it all being in one place. The fact that you're continuing these conversations on random user talk pages ''months'' after the fact does not make it better, either.<br>In other words, while it's perfectly fine to message each other about various things, the fact you're personally message other users to continue a conversation from ''a completely different talk page'' is disarrayed and simply inconvenient for everyone. {{User:Arend/sig}} 11:52, November 13, 2024 (EST)

Huh, I see. You know, the reason why I message you from other discussions isn't necessary because someone disagree with me, it's because I want to know if you're really sure about the decision you made, like REALLY SURE!.
