Google Translate

Hello, while this hasn't been the case yet in your edits, please do not use Google Translate in the future as it occasionally produces inaccurate translations, especially if the name is more complex. If you don't know the meaning or even the language, just leave the meaning blank. Mario JC 21:28, August 7, 2021 (EDT)

Sworm Monty Mole

I just want to say that I don't think the comparison you made with Goomba-Beanie and Monty Mole-Sworm is a very good one, because I think Goombas and Beanies are clearly based on the landmark of the kingdom they are found in (Goombas come from the Mushroom Kingdom and resemble mushrooms; Beanies come from the Beanbean Kingdom and resemble beans). Sworms and Monty Moles are not based on either landmark and look nothing like each other while Goombas and Beanies do a bit. Nightwicked Bowser 16:19, September 20, 2021 (EDT)

Ptooie

Where did you get the NOA Portuguese name ("Pitoco") for Ptooie? I can't find the source. --GDias (talk) 14:01, October 22, 2021 (EDT)

Profiles

Hey, just so it's internally consistent with the general descending order, you should probably list Japanese profiles before English ones, except in cases where the game or content was released first or simultaneously in the West. LinkTheLefty (talk) 09:44, November 14, 2022 (EST)

Re:Spiny Skipsqueak

I still think it's a bit too broad to categorize them under both rodents (mice) and hedgehogs. I'd say pick one, not both. The mouselike facial features are the same as their parent species, so it's less of a leap to say they're still mice, unless there's an official profile out there that says otherwise. You can add that it's possibly inspired by the Japanese word for hedgehogs, though, and see what others think on the talk page if you feel strongly about it.

RE: Sorry

I don’t mind, I don’t find it too much work. I made the merge because I voted in your proposal without realizing it ended anyways. Remembered Old Buddy 12:47, November 28, 2023 (EST)

SMRPG bestiary and Special attacks

Hello, I gathered the list of attacks for each non-dummied enemy in the game from their battle scripts with the Lazy Shell editor, a tool made specifically for the game. It's been years since I've delved into checking enemy stats, but not only are their attacks listed with the attack names shown, but on their battle scripts are also special attacks written out in numbers only that are shared with other enemies, each with their own attack properties. Have you seen enemies like Shadow or Axem Red use their glowing special attack in-game, but there's no name for it on the screen? That attack is one of the ones listed as numbers. What I gathered from Lazy Shell is at the bottom of the Special Attacks chart here—their names are conjectural so they're listed in quotation marks.
The attacks don't have pages created for them yet, but since they are not dummied anyway, they shouldn't be removed. --Zootalo (talk) 16:31, December 3, 2023 (EST)

Somehow I misinterpreted whether you were actually referring to just MM Speardovich's two attacks only. Those can be removed then. --Zootalo (talk) 16:40, December 3, 2023 (EST)

Crow's name translations

Hi. Nope, I didn't added those translations. User:SmashFan 3:44 p.m., Jan/06/2024

RE: Ghost Mouse

Good evening: If you know the game well, then you will know that the information about ghost mice is recorded in a book found in Luigi's Mansion, in the room where Luigi confronted Neville, the bookish father. The book can be found if Luigi pushes the book cabinet when he is to the right and near the fire.

In any case, I think it is clear that "ghost mouse" refers to all the mice that appear in Luigi's Mansion: the Blue Mice, the Gold Mice and the Purple Mice, as they are also ghosts, as evidenced by their presence in a painting in E. Gadd's gallery. The picture is a record of all the normal ghosts the player has captured, if the player has filled all the slots, and the number of ghosts captured. It is located in the same room as two other specific paintings: the one showing Luigi's NEW Mansion and the one showing the captured Boos.

Re:Tornado Jump

Yeah, I accidentally took it from PMTTYD, I thought it referred to the move the badge gives. Then I was like "Oh, right, we don't do that: the badge page already covers the move it gives. Oh well, someone will undo that anyway." Apparently, no one did. Mariuigi Khed 15:24, June 14, 2024 (EDT)

My reply on Merlon

Hi, I got your message! I just thought that by using the official, authorized Nintendo artwork of Merlon rather than the sprite from a different source would not only add more clarity and formality to the article alone but also highlight the fact that the official Merlon artwork was rendered before the sprite was created. I personally saw some sprites on that website that I didn't quite remember seeing in-game and was just altered by a fan. But regardless of its not-so-good quality, it was my preferred option. If you're willing to revert it back, it's up to you. Thanks for the heads-up ☆ User:Jude da Dude

Re:Merlon sprite

The example graphic was created by loading up his model & idle pose in Track Studio (which is capable of rendering models from the TTYD remake) and then matching the individual ripped pieces to their positions in that render (to keep the assembly identical in size to the pieces in the sheet with minimal scaling) -- 21:23, July 21, 2024 (EDT)

Re: New name source proposal review?

I looked through the draft - if you think you have a better way of dealing with name citations, feel free to make a proposal for it, I don't mind. I personally worry having such complicated rules could cause more confusion with this situation, but again, I'm not the decider here, it needs to be made into a proposal so more people can share their thoughts (with the rewrites you mentioned on the draft to make things more understandable). This may also make it difficult to keep track of which articles actually need citations. I know a lot of people dislike the [citation needed]s, but having them built into the template allows the articles that still need citations to be easily tracked, without having to add notices manually and mix them up in the same category as non-NIOL related [citation needed]s.

I would also like to mention something I was thinking about before this, actually. So, the main issue with verifying names in other languages in games is that English speakers don't have easy access to the games in those languages. However, with Switch games at least, you are able to change languages. Albeit, for something like the TTYD remake, you'd still need to check the original in case there were any name changes between versions... just food for thought. I'd also recommend discussing anything you're unsure of regarding the draft on the Wiki Discord. Technetium (talk) 18:51, October 18, 2024 (EDT)

If I may..I mentioned here that another approach may be to have filling out the new notes section as a secondary requirement to fulfilling the [?] citation condition. I think that's worth a try. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:00, October 18, 2024 (EDT)

Re: TTYD model question

The internal name is KRNF.bfres.zst, which is unfortunately not very descriptive. "KRN" is how the names of every Bones family model starts, being derived from the Japanese name for Dry Bones, Karon. If I had to guess what the F stands for, it would be "father" but there's no way to know for sure. Sadly, the remake's models are all extremely abbreviated like this, unlike the original which spelled out words in its filenames. As for the textures, they are named the same way they are in the rest of the models, "Body," "Bone," "Head" etc. I guess it's notable that he has a bone texture though, since he is never fought and thus never throws bones. But that's probably a leftover from the enemy Dull Bones. -- 10:23, December 8, 2024 (EST)
