Rosalina in the Observatory

Howdy! This article could potentially be helpful material to look at. I came across it while revising the game's article. It talks about "Rosalina in the Observatory" specifically. - Nintendo101 (talk) 21:04, June 25, 2023 (EDT)

Thanks! I'll look into it! ToxicOJ (talk) 21:19, June 25, 2023 (EDT)

RE: Delfino Plaza (theme) / Isle Delfino (theme) article title

There isn't really an established rule for musical themes, but the general rule in place is that we use the most recent English name. But since a theme can get new arrangements with titles sometimes specific to those arrangements or games, such titles wouldn't really be suitable for a page that's meant to be for the theme as a whole, so it's better to use the most recent English name for the original theme, and if one isn't available, use an arrangement's name that fits the overall theme best. Mario JC 10:44, June 26, 2023 (EDT)

Ok sounds great. Thank you for the clarification! ToxicOJ (talk) 10:47, June 26, 2023 (EDT)

Forgot to mention, the type of source is also usually taken into account (e.g. in-game content is prioritised over soundtrack CDs). Mario JC 10:51, June 26, 2023 (EDT)

Regarding the Mario appearances tables, don't give songs a name if it's not official. Mario JC 09:16, June 27, 2023 (EDT)

Sorry about that! Thanks for the heads up! ToxicOJ (talk) 15:27, June 27, 2023 (EDT)

Despite how some of the soundtrack articles on the wiki appear, the English track titles are not official and were just translated from the original Japanese titles, since the soundtrack never released outside of Japan (many of those articles need work since they can mislead readers into thinking the soundtrack is in English when it's not; they're on my to-do list). Just be wary of which soundtracks were Japan-only and avoid using those translated titles; in these cases, the Japanese titles should be used (VGMdb has those), but if you don't know them, just leave them blank.

Deletion

If there's a page that needs to be deleted, just tag it with {{delete}}; you don't need to post on the talk page. Mario JC 23:50, July 14, 2023 (EDT)

Ok cool, thanks! ToxicOJ (talk) 23:51, July 14, 2023 (EDT)

RE: Mario Movie Soundtrack

Okay, that makes sense, I didn't realise all three NSMB themes were all together. Mario JC 07:20, July 19, 2023 (EDT)

Map 1 World

You created Map 1 World. Do you plan to create Map 2 World, Map 3 World, etc.?? 99.157.99.148 07:48, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

Map 1 World is the Japanese title for the musical theme heard in Grass Land. It's commonly referred to as simply "Grass Land" in English, but that title has never been made official, so that's why the article has that name. I created a page for it since it's been included in 8 different games (not counting remakes and reissues) per this proposal. The themes from the other worlds in Super Mario Bros. 3 have not made enough reappearances to warrant creating articles for them. ToxicOJ (talk) 10:16, July 20, 2023 (EDT)
