| :Hello there! I'm glad that not only have all ''Mario Kart Wii'' characters returned in ''Mario Kart Tour'', but I actually predicted he could become a High-End character. It's also great that [[Dixie Kong]] debuted along with him, I'd wanted her in ''Mario Kart'' since before ''Mario Kart 8''!

|
| |
| I'll at least restore the transparent Bee Mario, but I really don't think a slight glow around the character is enough to justify another version of the same artwork. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:36, September 9, 2020 (EDT)

| == Hacks on 3D All Stars ==
| |
|
| |
| Out of those instances like Sega using fan-made tools to create a game and Industrial Park being used to make/import assets over to Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated, the gamecube game on that port for the All-Stars had it's aspect display hacked for the switch to make Sunshine run on 16:9 and with upscaled texture packs.--[[User:Crazy Muzzarino|Crazy Muzzarino]] ([[User talk:Crazy Muzzarino|talk]]) 04:29, September 10, 2020 (EDT)
| |
| :We don't cover hacks on this Wiki. Unless there's evidence that the ''3D All-Stars'' version of ''Sunshine'' is explicitly using the hacked build, it's nothing official so we won't cover it. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 15:29, September 10, 2020 (EDT)

| == POW Block sprite in ''Super Mario Bros. 35'' ==
| |
|
| |
| I already talked to Elijah Guy about this, but I discovered a decisive evidence about it. In ''Super Mario Maker'', POW Block's outline is [[:File:SMM-SMB-POW.png|colored white]], whereas in ''SMB35'' it is [https://www.shacknews.com/article/120745/what-do-coins-do-in-super-mario-bros-35 cyan and black]. This makes it clear that POW Block's sprite in the game is actually coming from ''Mario Bros.'', as can be seen [[:File:MarioBrosAC.png|here]]. {{color-link|gold|User:Raffina Higashikata|Raffina Higashikata}} ([[User talk:Raffina Higashikata|talk]]) 01:49, October 6, 2020 (EDT)

| == Leap Shots ==
| |
|
| |
| Hey here’s a a screenshot of the leap shot description:
| |
| [[https://imgur.com/1QG7FBA]]
| |
| I assume that the confusion is coming from the actual Jump Shot having a somewhat similar description, but it is a move that is performed by double tapping a button for any of the others shots, rather than by pressing R or ZR.
| |
|
| |
| Also the other part you’ve reverted refers to the amiibo, they can only be played with as a doubles partner but never actually played against, hence the removal of the word. - {{User:Ninelevendo/sig}}
| |
| :Oh, I see now. You're right. I'd forgotten that lunges were renamed to leap shots. I'll go change that back. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 16:24, March 24, 2021 (EDT)

| == Calico Parafoil ==
| |
|
| |
| It was released during the [[Cat Tour]] which coincided with ''Bowser's Fury'''s release where calico cats play important roles; I would say that's a reference. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:16, April 3, 2021 (EDT)
| |
| :Well, the Japanese names didn't really correlate in any way. Design-wise, while the Parafoil's left ear slightly matches the [[Calico cat parent]]'s left ear (due to the pink inside and white outline), there are no other notable congruencies; both tricolored calicos (the parent and the [[Kitten]]) have a black right ear, but the Parafoil's is not; their tail also has a black tip with the orange band before it, while the Parafoil's has a white tip and no banding colouration around the tail. In my opinion, we should treat it as two designs coming together, but not because one is referencing the other. Calico cats are a popular design for cats, after all, so it's not surprising that the Cat Tour would introduce a calico cat-design glider. Unless the developers outright state that the Parafoil was a reference to ''Bowser's Fury'', or they allude to the kittens in ''Bowser's Fury'' when referring to the Parafoil, we should treat it as just two things referencing calico cats.
| |
| :Kind of a tangent, but it would be like saying [[Toadette]]'s Japanese name is based on [[Vanna T.]]'s name. It might have been a reference, but until stated outright, we would just treat it as their name coming from the same origin (''kinopio'' + -''ko''). I acknowledge that timing is relevant to the calico case, but, again, calico cats are popular throughout media as well.

| == About Animal Crossing items ==
| |
|
| |
| I'm not sure why you'd switch "Tulip surprise box" to "tulip surprise box" in [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Rosalina&diff=next&oldid=3191077 this edit]. Although most of Nookipedia's item pages are title cased for reasons, items in New Horizons in-game has the first word of an item capitalized, as [https://twitter.com/amandaherzman/status/1242585063751061505 seen here]. {{User:PanchamBro/sig}} 02:15, May 2, 2021 (EDT)
| |
| :They're capitalised because they're the first letter of a page or entry, kind of like some of our pages (e.g. [[List of Toadette profiles and statistics]]). When the villagers refer to items in conversation, "tulip" is not a proper noun so it doesn't get capitalised. Likewise, "tulip" is in the middle of a paragraph so it's not going to be capitalised.

| ==[[Special:Diff/3651891|MK7 Wiggler's English Gender]]==
| |
| Actually, according to [[list of Wiggler profiles and statistics#Mario Kart 7|here]], the Wiggler racer should be a "he" in ''Mario Kart 7''. That said, I wouldn't be opposed to using foreign languages to inform us of a character's gender, so long as there are no other contradictions at least. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:16, May 7, 2022 (EDT)
| |
| :Well, if the gender is being assumed purely by name alone, "Hana-chan" is rather feminine but isn't, say, a female name being used directly on a character. It's probably referring to the flower on Wiggler's head, and the "-chan" is something that could be used on small animals or babies, of which Wiggler is like a baby of a butterfly (and then Flutter is the butterfly, but still an animal). Now, Wiggler has been seeming more female now that more evidence has piled up, but unless it's confirmed we shouldn't necessarily jump the gun on it.

| == Do you really want to be "very nostalgic"? ==
| |
|
| |
| I looked at one of your userboxes that says you're very nostalgic, and it shows an old logo of this wiki. I'm all for users having the right to express themselves, but is this really something you want to be? Several things to consider:
| |
|
| |
| #The wiki had such bad writing back in the day that most of it landed in BJAODN.
| |
| #They had no support from fans of other Nintendo series like we do today.
| |
| #The wiki had the flawed and inaccurate perspective of the Western world. Meanwhile, ''Super Mario'' franchise is from Japan, hence their perspective is the official one, and many articles are named based on Japanese name. To go back to ''Super Smash Bros.'', the English title was why they mistook it as a ''Super Mario'' spinoff.
| |
| #Many of the user pages had terrible backgrounds with clashing colors, like those old websites that I saw in the Wayback Machine.
| |
| #Probably more immature behavior, spam, and vandalism from bored users.
| |
|
| |
| Hopefully i'm not violating courtesy. Just wonder why you miss a time of an era that's bygone for a good reason and that hopefully being nostalgic doesn't cause one of the five above issues to make their way into articles.

| :Hello there. It's been a while since I've looked at the userboxes lol But really, I kept that one just because I liked the old logo is all, in the sense that it has that "homemade" character/charm. Obviously I don't think it looks as professional or official as the current logo, but hey, that's a product of its time when the Wiki was still growing. Of course, I do agree that the Wiki should always be striving to improve, and so it is overall heading in a better direction (although lately we tend to get lost in semantics and technicalities, but that aside). Also, funny enough, #5 was actually slightly less common back in the day, because people couldn't make accounts that are just those random IP addresses.

| ::Yeah, so it's like separating nostalgia from how a wiki's content should remain professional and not allow the two to mix together. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 22:26, May 1, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :::Yes, that's right. It's important that the Wiki's content be professional, appropriate, and accurate, to the best of our ability as humans. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 00:19, May 2, 2024 (EDT)

| == Regarding the edit you reverted ==
| |
| Thanks for letting me know that ''Mario Party 3'' also uses the same selection process as ''Mario Party 8''. I don't own any N64 games, including the N64 Mario Parties, so I've learned something new tonight. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 02:18, September 17, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :No problem, I don't think the order of characters, boards, and settings selection is very consistent throughout the games either, but it was an interesting thing to think about that I hadn't noticed before.

| == Honey Queen gallery ==
| |
|
| |
| Howdy. I don't know if you are aware, but the links have been removed from other pages with galleries of comparable size without controversy.
| |
|
| |
| Do you find yourself scrolling to view both rows on the page? Because they are not even out of frame of each other on my end, or at least when viewed on desktop. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 22:01, October 19, 2024 (EDT)
| |
| :Hello there. No, I was not aware that it was done on other pages' galleries. I still disagree with it due to formatting and also accessibility, in the sense that, being able to click on the game link requires knowing ''where'' in the gallery that first game mention is. For example, let's say I want to click into ''Mario Kart 7'', now I have to scan around and find where the first instance of ''Mario Kart 7'' appears in the gallery. And while the gallery is small, it's still a small inconvenience that can be easily avoided if I can just click the link within the same gallery sub-section as the image I'm looking at. And then since the sub-sections are ordered by game, even if I'm looking at the 3rd ''Mario Kart 7'' screenshot, it's still grouped with the others and easy enough to find and click ''Mario Kart 7''. This gets a bit trickier when the game doesn't have an image in all sub-sections, then it's even more like a scavenger hunt and figuring out whether the first mention of the game is in Artwork, Sprites/Models, or Screenshots. And to answer your second question, I do need to scroll a bit to view the whole gallery. I'm also on desktop and can pretty much only see 2 rows at a time out of the 3 in the gallery. So while I admit it's not a major inconvenience, I believe keeping the formatting consistent with other sub-sectioned galleries is the most optimal because it eliminates that inconvenience entirely and maintains consistent formatting with all other galleries that are also formatted in sub-sections.
