Are you sure merging Break the Targets and Board the Platforms is a good idea? These minigames contain ''Mario'' stages, something that should be covered separately. Also, a [https://www.mariowiki.com/Talk:Trophy_Tussle recent proposal] removed Trophy Tussle for only having one fight on a Goomba throphy. Even though it's small, it is a Mario stage after all. What do you think? [[User:Axii|Axii]] ([[User talk:Axii|talk]]) 00:50, September 11, 2024 (EDT)

:Unless we make individual articles for things like "Break the Targets (Mario, Super Smash Bros.)," I don't see it turning out any different from the Trophy Tussle thing. Granted, we could do that at some point, but it might be a bit much. For what it's worth, I am not wanting anything outright deleted, just turned into a redirect at most, so the history will still be there.

== Proposal backlogs ==
Hi, Doc. You raised two new proposals today, which is fine, but I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that you have 10 passed proposals that are waiting to be implemented (including every unimplemented talk page proposal), with some having passed multiple years ago. Other users have noticed and raised this issue with staff.
I would appreciate it if you started working on implementing your past proposals. Proposal rules do specify that passed proposals should be enacted "in a timely manner" and while no time limit is specified, surely two years without any movement is well beyond that. I understand some of your past proposals impact a decent amount of articles, or entail ''creating'' a decent amount of articles, and they would be time-consuming to implement by yourself, but some of them are quite small (like the Crocodile Isle one) and manageable by yourself. You also have the tools necessary to ask for help on the big ones if you want it, via talk pages like this one and Mario Boards. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 23:41, September 25, 2024 (EDT)
:Hi, generally speaking I prefer to give myself a sort of buffer of busywork, so that's why I do it in that way (if I don't have one, I tend to get a little.... erratic. Moreso than normal, I mean). Anyways, I am busy with other things at the moment (both in real life and the fact that I've been working on this MKT characters table for consecutive ''weeks'' since the "sports" thing is my most current project, as it has been for the past 15 months or so), so that's part of why it takes so long.

::I could understand that you like having projects on the back burner to go to, but I do not think you need 10 of them, and while you may have things going on in real life, you are active here enough for me to know you have not been so busy over the last three years (with your oldest proposal being September 12, 2021) that you could not work on implementing these. If you have the time to work on MKT character and sports tables, you have the time to merge the Crocodile Isle articles or split Bowser's Flame from Fire Breath. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 00:21, September 26, 2024 (EDT)
:::Well those ones -just- passed, I'll get to them soon. Tomorrow I have a big event. (Regarding the Gear thing, the MLSS table unfortunately doesn't list ''when'' things are added to the BeanBean Castle Town Shop, which makes that a bit more difficult.) [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 02:06, September 26, 2024 (EDT)
::::I'm glad to hear you will work on those proposals soon, and I hope the event you have today goes well.
::::For the gear in ''Superstar Saga'', someone has uploaded a pdf to the Internet Archives that shows the availability of individual gear on [https://archive.org/details/marioluigisuperstarsagaofficialplayersguide_201912/page/n125/mode/2up pages 124 and 125]. I imagine that would be helpful. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 13:18, September 26, 2024 (EDT)

== Proper separation for Gallery ==
The proposal was canceled because nobody agreed to generational separation. I want to find a proper way to separate them. Most of the proposals I made have failed. What method of split do you think would be appropriate? Mario is still a long sized even when separated by each decade. Other characters can be merged from the first decade with the next decade without any size issues. Later, when Mario turns 50, some galleries may be separate the first a quarter-century. The proposal has been canceled and hope that you can find a proper division method. [[User:Windy|Windy]] ([[User talk:Windy|talk]]) 15:18, October 8, 2024 (EDT)

==Tryforce==
I'm a little behind on modern ''Zelda'' (I still haven't gotten around to playing through any of the post-''BotW'' games) but I'll try. Embarrassingly, though, it seems I've forgotten my password and don't recall if I've set up an email. What do? If I were to make a new account, can you merge 'em?

:Uhh I'd have to ask Porple how that works XD. (Also, kinda in the same boat, so many of those "ultra-big" Switch games have been such slow going I haven't touched TotK yet and I haven't bought EoW yet).

==Mario Sports Mix audience images==
Done, two sprites were missing. [https://www.spriters-resource.com/wii/mariosportsmix/sheet/201491/] [[User:blueberrymuffin|blueberrymuffin]] ([[User talk:blueberrymuffin|talk]]) 15:55, October 14, 2024 (-03 UTC)
Toad can be found in Daisy Garden in [[Dodgeball]] or [[Feed Petey]] modes. [[User:blueberrymuffin|blueberrymuffin]] ([[User talk:blueberrymuffin|talk]]) 20:20, October 14, 2024 (-03 UTC)
== Re:Pokemon Smash images ==
The Pokemon images should all be undeleted now. - [[User:RHG1951|RHG1951]] ([[User talk:RHG1951|talk]]) 18:18, October 25, 2024 (EDT)
:[[:File:Smash Skiff.png]] is now undeleted too. - [[User:RHG1951|RHG1951]] ([[User talk:RHG1951|talk]]) 22:47, October 25, 2024 (EDT)
== Re: Blueberrymuffin's rips ==
Hello! I appreciate your inquiry, and am aware that others do prefer "accurate" sprite rips complete with empty dimensions. However, consider the following: this is not enforced by the wiki and the way a sprite looks is entirely up to the digression of the individual uploader. I say as long as it doesn't conflict with the way any existing templates or articles look, it doesn't need to be 100% uniform in dimension. It looks better this way, to me personally. You are also tarnishing the "accuracy" of these sprites by uploading it to a wiki to begin with because you have to file other file guidelines such as naming.--{{User:UltraMario/sig}}
:I don't really wish to speak on anything else, but I will say this: my uploads were ''supposed'' to have comments, but did not due to a bug with batch upload not supporting that for new files. Anyway, I understand what you are saying, but still think it is unnecessary, as it can easily be accommodated on both the gallery and table front without any unnecessary tampering of files, period. I don't believe it is needed at all for those Mii costumes. I checked myself, they don't look wrong at all on the table on the article.--{{User:UltraMario/sig}}
I agree with you, sprites should be preserved so as not to lose quality when placing them in the gallery or table. And this is not just a matter of aesthetics, the actual use of the command [widths="120" heights="120"] depends on standardization.

== Re:Artwork game-by-game comparison ==
Hrm, I think the angle of the arm is different, yeah. The lighting on her face also seems slightly brighter on one of them.--{{User:UltraMario/sig}}
== "Bowser's" Flame ==
I wanted to pick your brain on something. Do you think the fire launched by [[King Totomesu]], [[Piranha Plant (statue)]], and similar subjects are the "same" as [[Bowser's Flame]], or is it really dependent on Bowser or a member of his species spitting the fireball for it to count as Bowser's Flame? - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 23:16, November 4, 2024 (EST)
:I've been thinking about that in regards to subjects like [[Autobomb]], since I noticed its NES sprite resembles Bowser's flame (more than its SNES one, which iirc just uses the Birdo/Tryclyde/Fryguy fire). I've been considering, perhaps, we should make a separate article for stationary "flame" obstacles (like the falling ones in SMW and NSMBU, the torches in SM64, and other assorted things) and having "fire (projectile)" encompass those other ones (including Bowser's) - especially the Piranha Statue, since it's the named enemy in that case, simply named "fire" it may be. I also think that much of what is currently on [[Fireball (obstacle)]] should be merged between the standard fireball (the swirling/spherical kind that generally bounces around, like Fire Mario shoots), the forward projectile, and the stationary/falling obstacle. But that's just spitballing at this point, since there's so many other types of fireball obstacles that don't fit cleanly, like Reznor's.
