==Comment on [[Manky Kong]] Article==
I wouldn't add speculation into articles, it's unprofessional and you could end up with a warning if this kind of behavior continues. {{User:Epic Rosalina/sig}} 14:44, 25 February 2014 (EST)
:What specific speculation are you referring to? --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 14:48, 25 February 2014 (EST)

::Please don't do stuff like this: http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Manky_Kong&curid=16503&diff=1633206&oldid=1615607. It's rather offensive to some people. {{User:Epic Rosalina/sig}} 16:16, 25 February 2014 (EST)

=="Beta" pages==
Speaking of which, you're looking to improve the beta pages? Cool! I went on an one man(child) crusade a bit over a year ago to organise the pages into the "Early ideas/builds/Unused content/misc" structure that's used now, but I haven't had as much time as I'd like to to throughously rewrite and source non-ridiculous claims. Do you feel the beta ___ namespace has any particularly galling issues beside writing and sourcing? --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 20:38, 25 February 2014 (EST)
:I think the name "beta" is ridiculous, since betas rarely have cut content. I'm currently making a prerelease article for [http://www.TCRF.net TCRF.net] (The Cutting Room Floor: a wiki about unused, debug, prerelease (cut) content and version differences (including prototypes). But I am perfectly happy to contribute here as well in some way. If you want some idea of how I think "beta" articles should be done, you might want to look at TCRFs (in my opinion, great) guidelines ([http://tcrf.net/Help:Contents/Rules_%26_Guidelines here] and [http://tcrf.net/Help:Contents/Prerelease_Rules_%26_Guidelines here]). You may also want to look at some [http://tcrf.net/Category:Super_Mario_Bros._series articles]. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 11:49, 26 February 2014 (EST)

::I kinda dislike the "beta" name myself, but while there has been some periodic grumbling to get it changed, it hasn't gained much traction since no one's been able to provide a name that encasuplates all the info (rejected production ideas/games that switched platform or changed radically throughout development/prerelease stuff/unused content still on the media... etc) without being vague or clunky as hell to use. That, and "beta" has inadvertently a sort of shorthand for "early" stuff among a fair number of Mario fan communities. The name's kinda grandfathered in at this point, which isn't the most ideal arrangement, but well. That being said, using "beta" as a shorthand for "stuff that changed during development" [[Mariowiki:Good Writing#Frequently misused terms|is discouraged]], so feel free to edit out any instance of the word you see on articles.

::I love TCRF (and had to clean more than one instance of plagiarism of it from this wiki, lol)! I'm reasonably satisfied with our current header structure, but I'm still undecided about how the information should be organized within the headers, so I might just take some inspiration from TCRF's method.

::Also, just as an head-up, editing message by other users (which you kind of did by splitting my previous verbiage into two headers) in the Talk: and MarioWiki: namespaces is sorta frowned upon, even if it's minor alterations like correcting links or fixing typos. I absolutely don't mind having my messages edited like this, but other wiki users may, so I'm telling you this to avoid potential headaches down the line. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 12:45, 26 February 2014 (EST)

That was bugging me for a while. They're certainly oddities, aren't they? They don't quite match up with the in-game models, but they're quite polygonal for artwork. The images all came from the site, so I can provide you with direct URLs to the images, since only the actual pages are blocked by the paywall ([http://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/new-super-mario-bros-2-eguide/-001_037_NSMB2_fm010203-web-resources/image/Goomba_opt.jpeg Goomba], [http://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/new-super-mario-bros-2-eguide/-001_037_NSMB2_fm010203-web-resources/image/Goomba%20Tower_opt.jpeg Goomba Tower], and [http://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/new-super-mario-bros-2-eguide/-001_037_NSMB2_fm010203-web-resources/image/Paragoomba_opt.jpeg Paragoomba] to start off), but considering the whole paywall thing, you wouldn't be able to access the HTML. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

== Regarding the image-quality issues ==

You've added a few image quality templates to some images (like [[:File:Fire_Mini_ToadS.png|this]]). What do you mean by a game data rip. Whether it's possible to rip it straight from the game files or not, it doesn't matter. These images was captured directly from the game (using an emulator, which provides the highest capture quality naturally available), with it's native resolution. It's not low quality, it's the original quality.--{{User:Megadardery/sig}} 08:18, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
:'Ripped from emulator is highest quality'. That is just not true at all. First of all graphics are often manipulated ''a lot'' by the game and the console, so it may be shrunk down and blurred into the background. Second of modern console emulation often have graphical errors. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 09:43, 9 October 2015 (EDT)
::'Ripped from the emulator is the highest quality'- found on the original console hardware, which is what should be uploaded for multiple reasons, including the fact that it shows the original hardware capacities. This is not one of the consoles with high resolution display, that it blends the background and the sprites ([[:File:!BlockSM64DS.png|It doesn't even do that with models]], mind you). So capturing the screenshot then trimming the background should be enough.--{{User:Megadardery/sig}} 13:11, 10 October 2015 (EDT)
:::I have no problem with models ripped from backgrounds if the screenshot is accurate, but the majority of of these images on this wiki are taken from badly emulated screenshots. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 07:01, 11 October 2015 (EDT)
::::I'm personally referring to the ones I uploaded myself, which are either hard-ripped from the game (screenshot + trimming), or using GLIntercept. Which does what it sounds like it's doing, "GLIntercept is a program that grabs OpenGL information directly from memory." Which is as close as we can get to the game files, I checked the game files myself, it doesn't contain any file types that the hacking community has managed to open afaik.

::::More information: the game 'kinda' blends the sprite with the background, the GLIntercept captures the sprite just before it is added to the background, hence the semi-transparent pixels in this image. Look at this: the leftmost is the captured image, and the other two are the uploaded image with different backgrounds, all zoomed to 180px (original 32px). Still not satisfied? [http://i.imgur.com/Nc9q3p6.png What about this?] One of those two Fire Toads is edited in, yet it's literally impossible to distinguish.

If I upload a sprite, that means I did one of the three things, got it from the Spriters resource, hard-ripped it (screenshot with sprite, screenshot with/o. pixel by pixel comparison by an app I made), or extracted it by GLIntercept.--{{User:Megadardery/sig}} 13:06, 12 October 2015 (EDT)

Unfortunately, Photoshop is the best program to open PSD files, after all, it's the program that created them.

:There's four versions I uploaded. It is the second latest version without the ''start/pause'' thing and is 608x480.

::''Software renderer'' doesn't have many settings compared to OpenGL/Direct3D/Vulkan backends. The impression that emulators give me is that it tries to convert 3D real hardware instructions into instructions that a computer rendering API can understand so that way it can run a game in real time by splitting the workload onto the CPU and GPU instead of just relying solely on the CPU, but a few problems could arise and that is why settings such as ''EFB to RAM'' or ''XFB'' exist so that way it can be enabled/disabled when it can be done without affecting accuracy while focusing on performance.

I once did it with GBA ROMs so I could get RAW rips rather than lossy versions on YouTube or something. The tool I used to play the extracted tunes is called SNESamp, a plug-in for [[Wikipedia:Winamp|Winamp]]. That is as much as I know.

==Filename Request==
Hey, I see you've been replacing some Japanese names based on internal English filenames lately. That's very much appreciated, so keep up the good work! If it's not asking too much, is it possible for you to look into the filename of Morty Mole in ''Super Mario 3D Land''? I'm curious at all if it specifically references Mega Mole from ''Super Mario World'', or if it could be something more generic like Big Monty Mole. If ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'' is all you have access to, then please don't sweat it. Thanks! [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 05:05, 20 July 2017 (EDT)
:That's actually been very useful, just as I suspected. Thanks again! (P.S. If you can find [[Kānī Roller]] and [[Kongā]], that should remove the remaining foreign template reliance for the ''MVDK2'' articles). [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 11:00, 20 July 2017 (EDT)
::Great work, this really is just what we needed to sort out the foreign, conjectural and unsourced article titles. Just one thing: in addition to the template, when you move an article to the proper name, make sure you also check the [[Special:WhatLinksHere|what links here]] tool and adjust the remaining redirects for main articles and other files (talk pages, editorials and personal stuff are fine to be left as-is). Additionally, when you move the article, also be sure to tag the older talk page for deletion if it's just an empty redirect. I've done the ones you've already moved for you, but other users may not be so patient. As long as you follow through with that, you're good to go to contribute on your own! On that note, I hope you don't mind, but I actually thought of a few more questions...

::1) Since you brought up you were finding things in ''Luigi's Mansion 2'', I figured I'd ask, what does the game internally refer to the Big Boo boss? I ask because in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcF1azMOqyk&t=2m30s Japanese] version, it's called Jumbo Telesa, which is shared with Boolossus from the first game.

::2) In the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series, both Nitpicker and Snapjaw went under different names in (Japanese) guides, as did the latter in ''Yoshi's Island DS'', and the former was given a more toy-like appearance later on. What have they been referred to in the game files?

::3) Since you've dug in the GBA ROM for Brickman, I presume you've started to look and see if you can to find the others (Tane Pakkun, Kurasshā, Kōmori, and the Katakata enemies). Is there a sign that the fiery Nitpicker/Bird and the red Monchee variants are considered separate? If so, that would be further grounds for splitting.

::By the way, on Katakata Hakkun, I agree with what's stated there - the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' enemies have separate identifiers, so "Ninji (toy)" would be the consistent move. There could be a discussion afterwards if they should remain separate, but given it would implicitly involve the other toy counterparts, I don't see it happening anytime soon. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 18:00, 24 July 2017 (EDT)

:::Yeah, it's usually considered the responsibility of the one who had it moved to manually make sure the article links and such are updated. Sometimes people forget, though, but other times someone will up and decide to remind you over it (I think I've had to happen to me within the same hour), so it doesn't hurt to do it anyway. My thoughts…

:::1) Hmm, follow-up question: what is Boolossus internally referred to in ''Luigi's Mansion''? (If you don't have handy access to it, please skip.)

:::2) Funny thing is, those generic names happen to more or less be fairly straightforward translations of the names used in Japanese guides. I've updated the Snapjaw article to say they're gators for now, but a while back, someone split the three Nitpicker types from Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' using similar logic. It's very convoluted to follow, though, so probably not the best option, and it's pretty obvious that even if they're not technically called the same enemies from ''Donkey Kong Jr.'', they certainly are on a conceptual level.

:::3) I notice a couple more oddities on that list of sound effects. I've added <tt>SPARKY_LOOP</tt> as another source for Sparky - it should be good enough to move if it weren't already taken. <tt>SPIT</tt> and <tt>SPITFIRE</tt> seem to refer to Tane Pakkun and Katakata Kaen Heihō respectively, but they're more like actions rather than names (same with <tt>SHY_RUN</tt> and <tt>SHY_WAKE</tt> for Katakata Yarihō), so unfortunately not title material (though you can ask for a second opinion on the Talk Pages as with Ninji if you want since there have been subjects with basic names like that in the past). There is <tt>BLOCK</tt>, <tt>CRUSH</tt> and <tt>CRASH</tt> - any way to tell which one is used for Kurasshā? I also find it amusing that the Garbage Can is once again called a <tt>TRASHCAN</tt> - we ultimately settled on "Bin" exactly because of the flip-flopping. That's about all that stands out to me...maybe <tt>THROW</tt> is used by Katakata Spanner Heihō and <tt>SHWING</tt> is used by Kōmori, but it's vague and hard to tell from text alone.

:::Another ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' question: what is the Fire enemy referred to in ''March of the Minis'' (since they're called "Fire" in Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' and "Fireball" in ''Mini-Land Mayhem!'')? On the topic of ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'', we need Possessed Armor and Flytrap (the latter is sourced, but if you look at the Talk Page, you'll find it's actually a rather shaky description than a really solid name - maybe could check Orange Flower as well since I find it fishy it started as conjecture and now suddenly has a similar citation backing it up). Also, you wouldn't happen to have access to Wii U, would you? I know of a couple ''Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze'' articles that need attention if it's at all possible. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 16:45, 25 July 2017 (EDT)

::::Cool, I've added the Fireball reference. For the Possessed Armor, I'm guessing the strings with Ghost in it are when the armor is possessed, and the others are just the ordinary object by itself (Statue Armor Ghost seems redundant, though...maybe could reasonably shorten it to Armor Ghost). Also, for the first ''Luigi's Mansion'' - what's the name of the Shy Guy ghost? I'm curious if it references Boo Guy / Yūrei Heihō/Reihō. Since I noticed you mentioned ''Minis March Again!'', I've got another question about that one - right now, we have a separate article for "Snifit (toy)" and "Snifit (''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'')". Do the internal names for these differ, or are they identical?

::::Let's see, for ''Tropical Freeze'', the articles we need are: Tenacious Tucks, Bouncy Tucks, Gargantuan Gills, and Punch Piranha, as well as tornado (listed under the Tweester article), carnivorous plant, ice dragon and green fish (which don't appear to be proper names). <s>Bucky (''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'') and Bouncelisk don't have references, so might be worth looking into.</s> It could also be useful to see if Archy and Archy (fire) are any different. There is even more that could be dug into ''Country Returns'' (Wii or 3DS will do), so if you have that, I can tell you what else is needed if you need to know. Also, I reopened a [[Talk:Donkey Kong Jungle Beat#Move related foreign name enemy articles to match Super Mario Galaxy model names.3F|Talk Page discussion]] for ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'' if you want to check it out - there are a lot more names there from Japanese sources that can be moved over to an English one going by the game data.

::::I hope I'm not overwhelming you. It really is appreciated! [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 11:20, 27 July 2017 (EDT)
:::::1) As far as I can tell, ''po''/''pu'' has no obvious meaning on its own, but I don't know if it's short for something else. Zelda Wiki does claim that the "po(u)" in Poe might come from the word for spirit in Chinese, so it could be from that as well. 2) I agree. I just needed the extra evidence to move forward with that, so now I will. 3) Cool, take your time. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:35, 29 July 2017 (EDT)

*[[Big Zing]]
*[[Flaming Tiki Zing]]
*[[Bobbin' Squeekly]]
*[[Giant Pillar]]
*the electric fireflies found in [[Perilous Passage]]
*the big rolling ball from [[Crumble Canyon]]?

These names have been under a question mark for a long time. I'm pretty sure they come from DK Vine's [http://www.dkvine.com/games/dkcr/dossier/baddies.html baddies dossier], where the author used conjectural names for enemies that were not named in the game nor Prima.

== More Filename Request ==

Hey, so thanks for helping to get the ball rolling a while back in regards to internal data usage! I still have a few more that I need to locate if you don't mind.

#In ''Super Princess Peach'', what are the names of [[Blindfold Boo]], [[Lava Bubble (blue)|blue Bubble]], and [[Mihari|Security Thwomp]]? I believe I've narrowed down the ball and chain as "<tt>castle_tekkyu1_D08</tt>", but the others I'm not sure of.
#<s>In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', what is the name of [[Venus Flower Trap]]? This one needs to be checked soon because it's been selected for The 'Shroom Spotlight.</s>
#In ''Super Mario Odyssey'', what is the name of [[Pulse Beam]]? I know [[Ring Burner]] is [[Ring Beamer|RingBeamer]], so I'm curious if this one is also a Beamer derivative. I also wonder about the [[Jaxi]], given it seems strangely derived from [[Plessie#Names in other languages|Raidon]], and if there are other oddities in the game that stand out.

Also, totally unrelated, but what's a decent method for performing a text dump? Specifically, I've wanted to compare both versions of ''Super Mario RPG'', but the only Japanese text dump I'm aware of is incomplete. I'd appreciate if you can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 07:50, 17 February 2019 (EST)
:Cool, I'll add that to the Pulse Beam article since it makes the Beamer connection stronger. Some examples of other ''Odyssey'' oddities that may be of note would be if there is any sign of Spindrift (''Huwahuwa''/''Fuwafuwa''-''san'') since Torkdrift is supposed to be named after it (''Mechafuwafuwa-san''), or if Tropical Wiggler (''Shima Hanachan'') is using its apparent pre-release name (''Imomū''), but anything that seems to differ from the final name may be of interest.

Do you still have access to the ''Get Ready For Mini Mario-Mayhem Throughout The World!'' press release? I'd like to see it, specifically to check if the "[[Talk:Nitpicker|Nitpicker]]" is mentioned. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:59, January 21, 2020 (EST)
:As I remember it, I just found copies of it on news sites through google. I've googled it again, and here are the links I've found:

::I see. That's helpful. No mention of Nitpicker, but now I'm wondering if it was truly referring to Snap Jaw here: "''Sidekicks Mummy Guy and '''Snap Claw''' will do everything in their power to ensure the Mini Mario’s do not reach the exit door preventing our Mini Mario’s from moving onto the next level.''" Could it instead be referring to Cuttacutta? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 17:13, January 22, 2020 (EST)
:::You're right. I've removed the reference from the Snap Jaw page. I'll leave it up to regarding the other pages. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 13:48, January 23, 2020 (EST)
::::I'll leave it up to the [[Talk:Snapjaw#"Snap Claw"|talk page]], but I also notice that the press release is from Nintendo of Europe. Would you happen to know if it can be found in another language (maybe German, French, Spanish, or Italian)? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 16:10, January 23, 2020 (EST)
:::::I'm afraid I don't know. The European press site I have access to doesn't seem to have it. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 04:36, January 24, 2020 (EST)--[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 04:36, January 24, 2020 (EST)
::::::I went on a hunch and searched for "Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: [foreign subtitle]" + "Snap Claw", and found it [https://www.micromania.fr/mario-vs-donkey-kong-2-march-of-the-minis-30245.html in] [https://www.ultimagame.es/juegos/mario-vs-donkey-kong-2-la-marcha-minis/articulos other] [https://www.everyeye.it/notizie/mario-vs-donkey-kong-2-la-marcia-dei-minimario-in-arrivo-ds-33001.html languages] (except German). Unfortunately, the names weren't localized, so there isn't a clue on Snap Claw's identity. I'm leaning towards treating it as a typo of Snap Jaw given other grammatical errors unless details resurface.

== RE:Sticker Star bestiary ==

Unfortunately, I do not. {{User:Niiue/sig}} 18:51, June 9, 2020 (EDT)
:Honestly, I don't even remember. Knowing myself, I probably found a resource somewhere that I eventually forgot about. Sorry I couldn't be more help, I'll let you know if I find anything though. {{User:Niiue/sig}} 06:08, June 10, 2020 (EDT)

== Moving pages ==
Please stop moving articles with different names in the game's remake to their original names, the latest name often takes priority and the same applies for remakes. Everything in Super Mario RPG that had name changes for that remake were moved to the new names and the same should apply for the Thousand-Year Door remake. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 18:17, May 27, 2024 (EDT)
:Is that documented on the help pages somewhere? Seems like a weird rule to override 20 years of the actual game with stuff from the remake. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 18:18, May 27, 2024 (EDT)
::The fourth bullet point in [[MarioWiki:Naming#Naming an article]], primarily the fact about modern names taking priority over older names which is the case with the new remake names. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 18:30, May 27, 2024 (EDT)
:::I thought that meant newer games, rather than remakes, but alright then. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 18:47, May 27, 2024 (EDT)

{{TCRF|{{FULLPAGENAME}}|{{BASEPAGENAME}}}}
I put [[Template:TCRF]] on the right on my userpage and it works. Thought it may come in handy for [[User:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|yours]]. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 19:27, October 17, 2024 (EDT)
:Thanks. Not sure I'll put it on there but I should probably update my userpage sometime. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 18:37, October 20, 2024 (EDT)
