== Paper Mario: Sticker Star bestiary ==
Hey, Binary, just wanted to say you're doing a nice job on the bestiary for ''Sticker Star''! Keep it up! --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 23:37, 5 May 2015 (EDT)
:When you're uploading sprites, just make sure they're in .png format instead of .gif; was noticing most of the new sprites on your bestiary were uploaded as such. Apparently all sprites in a bestiary ideally should be in .png format, but as long as we have actual sprites in the first place, it's not too big of a deal. Anyway, just a heads-up. --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 14:08, 7 May 2015 (EDT)

== Sprites ==

It's usually a good idea to check if the sprites you have are not there yet so you don't [[:File:Clip Guy.gif|upload]] [[:File:Clipguy.png|duplicate]] [[:File:SpiketopPMSS.png|files]], [[:File:Spike Top.gif|ok]]? Another thing of note is that you should ''never'' upload a static image in the .gif format. .png is the preferred format for non-animated sprites, since .gif is a compressed format with some loss of transparency and allows only 256 colors while .png is a more updated format that supports transparency better. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 02:42, 8 May 2015 (EDT)
:I'm too lazy to check but what I know you uploaded duplicates of so far are Clip Guy and Spike Top. You can always check the Paper Mario: Sticker Star category, check the enemies' page, check their gallery, or check Paper Mario: Sticker Star's gallery. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 19:44, 8 May 2015 (EDT)
::Actually, I've compared the two clip guy images: the .gif actually has some palette differences to the .png, in which I can guarantee you that it's indexed and therefore, lost some color data. Besides, .gif don't render as well as .pngs if you shrink them, via, say, table {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 22:46, 8 May 2015 (EDT)

== Bowser's Snow Fort Guys ==

Are you talking about those Shy Guys harassing the red Toad? I was digging through some videos on YouTube and the trip attack does four points of damage to Mario when he blocks it (I assume 7 on your bestiary's normal damage). The other attack that involves a group of Shy Guys lining up and charging at Mario does 10 points (5 when blocked). Hope that helps! --[[User:Zootalo|Zootalo]] ([[User talk:Zootalo|talk]]) 22:44, 8 May 2015 (EDT)

== FX Badge ==

Again, thanks for the help, but I'd like to bring up [[Attack FX B]] and [[Attack FX C]]. You've created individual articles for them, but I'm not sure I agree with that; considering they're nothing more than cosmetic sound effects (excluding that cricket one from TTYD, but I hardly think what it's involved in is major), I think it'd be better if they were all lumped into a single article, in a similar vein to [[Kaleidoscope]]. What do you think? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:I think the badges occupy a different area than the standard RPG item, and besides, most of them have a practical use, whereas these badges are nothing more than cosmetic fluff that aren't even needed to progress in the game. Having a list for similar items isn't a foreign concept, as shown with the Kaleidoscope page and also [[Fan (souvenirs)|Fan]] and [[Lightwand]]. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
::<del>No, every badge is placed in a different area, and some badges play more important rôle than others. Other than the Attack FX R, Ms. Mowz's trouble may refer to the Attack FX B badge she is seeking for. Giving her other Attack FX badges won't work at all. Therefore, the player may want to know about a particular badge while not worrying about others. Second thing is, the Attack FX B has had two screenshots, and possibly more if new games are released. I guess if all the A/B/C/D/E/G/P/R/Y badge is merged, the page will be crowded. Separating them may allow more info. In addition, the Badge article has already been planned to be broken into individual pages, so I don't agree with merging them. --[[User:Another gossip-loving Toad|Another gossip-loving Toad]] ([[User talk:Another gossip-loving Toad|talk]]) 09:13, 12 May 2015 (EDT)</del>
::Sorry about arguing like that.Now that I've calmed down, I'd like to apologize for the paragraph above, and I actually am not completely against merging them into one page.

::There are three approaches I can think of: (a) to combine all the Attack FX page together, putting the relevant elements together. That is, screenshots together, where to get the badge together, and so on. (b) to combine all the Attack FX badge together, but list them one by one. That is, a section for Attack FX A, a section for Attack FX B, etc. (c) keep them on separate pages, just like all other badges do.

::In my opinion, the disadvantage of (a) is that people sometimes pay attention to just one badge, and they have to search through the sections for the relevant information, distinguishing it from lots of text and picture not of the current interest. (b) is much more reader-friendly, because those who wish to study just Attack FX B can just find the section about Attack FX B and read. Never interrupted by Attack FX C. Those who would like to study all the badges at once can go to the [[Badge]] article instead. (c) is like (b), and it is more natural, for there's a one-to-one correspondence between the game's badges and this wiki's pages. (The game always list them separately, no one calls them a series.)

::I originally planned to do (c), but now I think (b) is also good. If you want to place all the fx badges into one page, I suggest using (b). I've expected for nearly a year for someone to create individual articles for badges, and now there are, it would be a perfect place to write in (b) style. On the other hand, (a)is also useful, but it can go somewhere else, like the table in the page "[[Badge]]". The table could possibly be made bigger to include more entries.

::I'm sorry for the argument posted yesterday. I doesn't oppose lumping them into a single article, and I'll just want to recommend (b) if you do. I'd like to have some space devoted to each badge, whether it's a section or a page. What do you think? [[User:Another gossip-loving Toad|Another gossip-loving Toad]] ([[User talk:Another gossip-loving Toad|talk]]) 20:48, 12 May 2015 (EDT)
:::Regardless of which way we're going, for now, the [[Attack FX B]] badges should have separate pages. Making the argument that all of the badges are different is a little odd to me if you're going to have two badges that only have their name in common, and not their location, their method of being obtained, their relevance to the story, their sound effect... {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

== Walleye ==

They may be similar in behavior to an extent, appearance I suppose somewhat, but in name not really, and I'm not about to call one a "sub-species" of the other, since that would be speculation (combined with the fact that the word is meaningless on this wiki and is an issue we're trying to resolve...); it's fine to simply call it something related due to their similar functions.

Nice work on the Mario Maker Sprites, but it was my intention to do them. See [[Talk:Costume Mario#Sprites.|here]] for proof. Have a nice day! {{User:Pyro Guy/sig}} 14:53, 9 September 2015 (EDT)

== Reminder ==

{{reminder||proposal-sniping}}
Pyro Guy was far too nice about you swooping in and doing his proposal for him: edit-sniping in general is [[MarioWiki:Courtesy#Ask|against the courtesy policy]], and it's especially egregious when it's over a proposal. And a freshly-passed one at that, the rollout of which [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Costume_Mario&diff=prev&oldid=1893808 Pyro Guy had started and was clearly intent on continuing], as he had [[Talk:Costume_Mario#Comments_2|also discussed in the proposal's comments]]. Plus there's the fact that I had [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Costume_Mario&diff=1894148&oldid=1894136 ''just'' reverted] [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki%3AProposals&diff=1894149&oldid=1894130 another user's attempt] to hijack that same proposal. Clearly you didn't pay much attention to the situation, and you've been here long enough that you ''should'' know better than to show such disrespect towards other users' projects.<br>
-<br>
And incidentally, you're racking up a number of Reminders here: they will escalate to Warnings soon (small problems still add up), and seeing as you've been blocked twice already, if you're banned again, it will be for life, despite your high editing output. It's not a looming threat or anything, but worth keeping in mind, and I really suggest you become more familiar with the codes of conduct so as to avoid such an unfortunate course of events. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:43, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

== ''Super Mario Land 2''-related questions ==

Hi Niiue. I don't think we've ever spoken before, but I've seen some of your work for ''Super Mario Land 2'' coverage, so I hope you could help me out with this.

The above artworks were taken from the Shogakukan guide of ''Super Mario Land 2'', found [http://imgur.com/a/yxIQV#0 here]. I would like to ask whether you'd be able to check the Japanese names of these objects, and try to see how they should best be covered by the wiki. Additionally, I wasn't completely certain if [[:File:SML2 Artwork - Spiked Ball.png|this artwork]] shows a [[Spiked Ball]]. There's no "Names in other languages" section to match it with on the article.

Thanks so much,

This response comes from [[User:Porplemontage/talk archive 1101-1200#RE: Images|this conversation]] and [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 45#Implement Reminder Template About Categorizing Images By Game|this proposal]]. Also, I noticed [[:File:SoupSpicy.PNG]] and [[:File:Spicy Soup TTYD.png]].

::Talk about a hard find. I was going to suggest looking in categories ([[:Category:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Images]]) and gallery pages ([[Gallery:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]), but the category is a pretty long list (probably worth a proposal/discussion about splitting up images into screenshots, sprites, maps, art, and other images universally across all image categories or if categories become saturated with 1,000+ images) and the gallery was linking to some ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' sprites at the time. You got me. You looked in as many obvious places as you could. Where was [[:File:SoupSpicy.PNG]] linked to? It surely was never linked on [[Spicy Soup]]. My guess is [[List of Zess T. recipes]]. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 02:00, 6 May 2017 (EDT)

== Template:Pmitem-infobox ==

Should the template cover ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'' items too? Currently, it only covers ''Paper Mario'', ''Thousand-Year Door'', and ''Super Paper Mario'', but ''Color Splash'' has quite a few items; [[Magma Burger]]s, [[Paint Star Piece]]s, and the [[Birdcage]] to name a few. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 23:00, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
:Yeah, there might not be enough. I just counted, and it would likely be used on only 14 pages. It definitely wouldn't make sense for ''Sticker Star'', with the [[Book of Sealing]] being the only non-scrap, thing, or sticker item in the game. If you do decide to add ''Color Splash'', I would gladly add the template to those pages myself if it is okay with you. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 23:27, 6 May 2017 (EDT)
::Yeah, I actually recounted, and there are only 13 pages that would use it, not 14. Anyway, now that I read the proposal again, I realize that it says that one of the reasons you created it was to make it easier to document multiple descriptions, while no item that is in ''Color Splash'' has ever appeared in another game before. Also, I agree that it would not be worth it to make pages for every sticker/battle card. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 07:58, 7 May 2017 (EDT)

== Species ==

(bringing this here because it isn't strictly relevant to the SMB3 category)

If you only want to include non-hostile species, would you also include plants, like, say, [[Beanstalk]]s or [[Fire Flower]]s? It won't do us much good to create more overlap with other categories. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:01, 31 July 2017 (EDT)
:I don't necessarily disagree with that, but part of me thinks that having a category for non-hostile, non-item, non-object species is too narrow. However, I also see the value in having a category that groups those kinds of subjects together - at the very least, we'd have a more concrete home for [[Human]]s and [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. I've thought a bit about outright deleting the species categories, but that's certainly too destructive. My thoughts on the matter aren't completely settled, but at the very least, I know that we should do ''something''. Do you think that it'd be best to create a proposal and be done with it, include every option and see what wins out? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:13, 31 July 2017 (EDT)
::Do you want to make the proposal, or should I? I'm fine with letting you take the reins or doing it myself, whichever you prefer. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:17, 31 July 2017 (EDT)

So, silly question: what if a given article is applicable for both a "species" and "enemy" category in the same game, just in different contexts? ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', for example, features Boos as a hostile enemy in [[Boo-Bye|one minigame]] but as a non-hostile species in [[Floor It!|another minigame]]. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 11:30, 1 August 2017 (EDT)

Now that the proposal's passed, do you mind if I help out with cleaning up the species categories? I already have a few games in mind. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 13:03, 9 August 2017 (EDT)
:All right, thank you for the go-ahead! Actually, I was tempted to tag the [[Human]] page with every species category because of Mario and Peach, but I'm wondering now if it should be limited to appearances of generic members of the species. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 16:22, 9 August 2017 (EDT)
::There's also the Donkey Kong games and some of the Yoshi games, plus the games where there ''are'' generic humans (some of the sports games, Super Mario Odyssey, etc.). Excluding it entirely is too far, in my opinion. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 16:28, 9 August 2017 (EDT)

One thing to keep in mind as you're editing: game categories go at the bottom of the other categories (and they are then sorted alphabetically). Species, meanwhile, go at the top, and everything else gets stuffed in the middle. The categories on [[Lakipea]], for example, would be ordered as such: [[:Category:Lakitus]] (species), [[:Category:Plants]] (neither species nor game), [[:Category:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Enemies]] (game). It's described on [[MarioWiki:Categories#Order on pages|MarioWiki:Categories]]. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 12:58, 13 August 2017 (EDT)

Do you happen to own or know a lot about ''Mario Kart 8''? The guide lists an enemy called "Raving Piranha Plant" in [[Electrodrome]], and I've been trying to find information about it.

== Question about [[MarioWiki talk:Naming#Make an exception to source priority for articles with identical names|source priority exception proposal]] ==

When you first made it, was the intent to factor unique foreign names that have common English names as well (e.g. Bamboo Dancers [Shy Guy], Mini Wanwan [Chomp], etc.), or was it only meant to include English (or "English-passing") names? If the former, would that mean it should move, for example, ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'''s Bee and Jellyfish respectively back to the unique ''Hacchī'' and ''Birimēra'',  since the articles use identifiers? What about cases that are directly named in-game (i.e. if it so happens that English is generic but Japanese is unique)?

You refer to them as "distinct RPG enemies," to which I ask you look [[Snifit#Profiles and statistics|here]] for examples on how we otherwise handle "kinda distinct but not really" RPG enemies.

== Regarding the source priority exception proposal ==

Does it applies in cases like [[Tweester (Super Mario Galaxy)]], or that would confuse readers? Also, does it applies cases where there is a translation mistake, such as [[Kaboomba]], even though it's an in-game name? We plan to rename Ghost (Piranha Plant) into Polterpiranha, and despite a Yoshi's Island DS being called "Bessie Bass", we correctly call the "Boss Basses" (the enemies) in this game Cheep Chomps. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 02:45, April 20, 2019 (EDT)
:Thing is, though, like i said, that's confuse readers if we move Tweester, given that it has a definitive english name. For the Kaboomba, i didn't ask to move Cheep Chomp to Boss Bass (Yoshi's Island DS), given that most of its appearances uses "Cheep Chomp". I was just asking if we should move Kaboomba just because it's an in-game name, while it was a mistake. --{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}} 11:36, April 20, 2019 (EDT)

Ehhhh palette could still be better.

==Re:EarthBound Beginnings==
The least we can do is follow WikiBound's lead. Technically, "''EarthBound Beginnings''" isn't even the name that the game itself uses (it's actually "''Earth Bound''"), so there are two conflicting localizations that refer to the same exact thing, and all other official references are to ''Mother'' as far as I can tell. Besides, it looks awkward to say that ''EarthBound Beginnings'' is a Family Computer game. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 10:02, May 14, 2019 (EDT)
:True, I've actually considered bringing up the idea of implementing a MarioWiki-style naming policy (which would go along the lines of ''Super Smash Bros.'' -> ''EarthBound'' -> ''EarthBound Beginnings'' -> ''Mother 3'' fan translation -> ''Mother 1+2'' fan translation). However, Nintendo could easily release the game in an altered state if they desired since some other Virtual Console games have minor differences from their original release, and in fact they may have as several bytes differ from the leaked prototype ROM (though possibly just the copy protection). Even outside of that, Nintendo is still a bit inconsistent with the real title since the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxjOnl_Xkjo announcement] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttKkiEKqwuk trailer] calls it "''Earth'''b'''ound Beginnings''". How about this: why not use "''Mother'' / ''EarthBound Beginnings''" to refer to it (at least until more ''EarthBound Beginnings'' references pop up), and drop the bit about it being a Family Computer game? If "''Dragon Quest''/''Dragon Warrior''" can exist on the same page, surely that's sensical and should reduce confusion? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 10:43, May 14, 2019 (EDT)
::''Smash'' information can alternatively be determined on a case-by-case basis considering Pokey is definitely outdated, but I should point out that New Year's Eve is more accurate and the fan translation has a few minor oddities of its own. As for Tazmily Village, the proper name is used [[smashwiki:List of SSBB trophies (EarthBound series)#Notes|here]] and [[smashwiki:List of tips (SSBU)#Lucas|here]], so that would get priority. Anyway, Owencrazyboy9 mentions that the game's sound test indeed calls it ''EarthBound Beginnings''...though, we also have this particular line of naming policy: "''When mentioning subjects whose names have changed overtime, the newest name generally takes greater priority, except in the context of older media where they went by previous names, in which case those are used instead.''" Wouldn't that technically apply to the Underchomp article, since the name ''Mother'' was used in older ''Super Smash Bros.'' games and ''EarthBound Beginnings'' didn't exist in 2007? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 12:32, May 14, 2019 (EDT)
:::Nipper Dandelion probably isn't the best example - even in Japan, the game is most commonly natively rendered as "''MOTHER''" instead of 「マザー」 (''Mazā''), and Nintendo of America used the title ''Mother'' up until the 2015 Wii U Virtual Console release. For all intents and purposes, it ''is'' an ''English'' title - what is ''isn't'' is a ''relocalized'' title, which is what ''EarthBound Beginnings'' is, and we generally count unlocalized English. It also begs the question of what to do with the existing ''Mother 3'' references over the years if and when an official "''EarthBound 2''" localization happens. Now in regards to Pokey: the pork association (his chubbiness, "Pig's Butt", the Pigmasks, Pig King, snout symbol), a boss and ''EarthBound'' sticker in ''Brawl'', and New Pork City with all its Porky puns and Porky's Theme returning in ''Ultimate'' make it pretty clear that it's Porky; if I were to hazard a guess, "Pokey" was either due to the pig connection not being as obvious in ''Mother 2'' or due to Nintendo being overly cautious at the time and wanting to avoid potential confusion or legal issues with another Porky. And as for Arachnid!!!, funny you should mention it: I'm convinced that the translator made a genuine mistake with that one because he also made the same error when transcribing it in his [https://legendsoflocalization.com/earthbound/enemies/ enemies comparison] and most likely lifted the text from there. Anyway, that naming policy proposal is just a little something I've been mulling over. I get that, as an RPG series, it'd be more convenient for the ''Mother 3'' names to remain as it is from the in-game fan translation. It should clear up things otherwise, though.

-::I found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7cs3aQv_9A German] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJlRFHAaBt0 Italian] Catch Card videos that seem to match the wikis, as well as [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA5wthxD39I&t=2h European French] for Moon Cleft, so it seems the Nintendo of Europe translations of ''Super Paper Mario'' follow the English localization. If it's not too much of a bother, I have another idea - can you find out how other languages handle the line in Goombella's tattle, "''It's your basic Cleft living on the moon.''", as well as the Cragnon NPC that refers to the crag-vision picture "''Dark Screams! Into Maw of Howling Cleft Colony of Terror!''"? I want to see if I'm onto something here and that these two lines would be of interest for the upcoming Moon Cleft proposal. Thanks.

-:::Interesting. Here's my hypothesis thus far: after the graphics for Cleft and Moon Cleft were swapped mid-development, some localizers who were familiar with ''Paper Mario'' caught the fact that the "new" Moon Clefts of ''The Thousand-Year Door'' were essentially the original Clefts, and strengthened the implication. That's why Goombella refers to them as "your basic Cleft" in the English version - "basic" isn't a throwaway descriptor, but rather an important keyword. That's also why she's much more openly incredulous in the German version (it's something like, "''Moon Clefts are... just Clefts, living on the moon!''", the word "eben" apparently being used to stress something that ought to be common knowledge) as well as in European Spanish (similarly, "''Whoa, there are also these on the moon...''", again suggesting they may really be basic Clefts who simply happen to inhabit the moon in the game). As for the ''Super Paper Mario'' NPC, I'm thinking that Cleft line was specifically meant to refer to the "Moon Clefts" that appear in Chapter 5 since it's doubtful Flint Cragley and his crew are interdimensional travelers like the main cast (as worlds in that game are other dimensions), especially if it wasn't a reference added in localization like Boss Bass. As for anything else, now that you mention it: I'm also curious what the Pale Piranha tattle is in other languages, since despite changing the name, [[tcrf:Proto:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door/Text & Dialogue#The Great Tree Enemies|it seems the English version added some suspect lines rather late]].

-Hello. Do you remember what [[:File:NewNESCobratFake.gif]] was for? Was it a personal image? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:47, March 14, 2020 (EDT)
-:I can answer that. It was used as a trivia point on [[Cobrat]]'s page, the kind of trivia we generally don't cover, ie the "This thing from unrelated game looks similar." [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:23, March 14, 2020 (EDT)

-:::Could we perhaps consider salvaging it for the [[List of Mario references in third-party video games|list of ''Mario'' references in third-party video games]]? It doesn't seem that much of a stretch that a third-party Disk System platformer borrowed an idea from a first-party Disk System platformer.

-::::::Personally I don't think it was designed to be a reference as much as it was two snake monsters happened to be red. They really were not that similar. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 22:19, March 14, 2020 (EDT)
-:::::::Not so much Cobrat, but I see similarities to Tryclyde - a large boss version of the red snake enemy fought twice, stays on or patrols a patch of land, spits fireballs or breathes fire as its main attack, and must be defeated by throwing objects at it.

-Hi. Do you have any documentation on the Sticker Star file formats from your work on the bestiary? I'm looking into unused data in the game. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 13:06, June 7, 2020 (EDT)

-==Re:Shogakukan Creepers==
-Sure, but don't forget that this is meant for a different game, and [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan P7.jpg|Blooper]]s aren't in ''Super Mario World''. That scene is also described as taking place tens of thousands of years in past, and Shellcreepers have been called the ancestors of Koopas. And in ''Super Mario World'', the Koopas invaded Dinosaur Land, and aren't depicted [[:File:Yoshi no Tamago Shogakukan 11.jpg|here]] among the ancient species revived by Native Star.  So ultimately, I think it's more speculative to consider the off-model turtles as Koopa Troopas than to say that they aren't.
