Talk:Ally

Convert this redirect page into an article for the Ally/Jamboree Buddy mechanic from Mario Party

This talk page section contains an unresolved talk page proposal. Please try to help and resolve the issue by voting or leaving a comment.

Current time: Friday, September 27, 2024, 22:20 GMT

This is a recurring mechanic in the Mario Party series that functions differently between Super Mario Party and its sequel, Super Mario Party Jamboree. Given that it's not relegated to simply spaces or minigames, it should get its own article.

Proposer: Pizza Master (talk)
Deadline: October 10, 2024, 23:59 GMT

Support (Ally and Jamboree Buddy are treated as the same mechanic)

1. Pizza Master (talk) Per my proposal.

Support (Ally and Jamboree Buddy both get an individual article)

1. Pizza Master (talk) Secondary choice.
2. DesaMatt (talk) They're different enough from each other to warrant separate pages, as far as we have seen.

Support (Jamboree Buddy gets an article, but not Ally)

1. Pizza Master (talk) Tertiary choice.

Support (Instead, Create article under name "Ally (mechanic)" or "Ally (Mario Party (series))" and Jamboree Buddy is treated as the same mechanic)

1. Pizza Master (talk) Quaternary choice.

Support (Create new article for the "Super version" of Ally, but don't make a decision regarding Jamboree Buddy until after Jamboree's release)

1. Pizza Master (talk) Quinary choice.

Support (Convert this page into an article for the "Super version" of Ally, but don't make a decision regarding Jamboree Buddy until after Jamboree's release)

1. Pizza Master (talk) Senary choice.

Why start this proposal now instead of waiting for Jamboree to come out? Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 17:23, September 26, 2024 (EDT)

The ally gimmick is already an existing mechanic, so it should get an article, I would think. For the "Jamboree Buddy" section (or individual article), that can wait to be made until the release of Jamboree, but the Super Mario Party version of the ally mechanic should already have had its own page by this point. What I mean to say is the Super version of the ally mechanic should get its own article now (soon after the proposal, assuming the option to give it one wins) and any decision made in this proposal to merge the "Jamboree Buddy" with it (or give the "Jamboree Buddy" its own article) should have the "Jamboree Buddy" section (or article) merged to the article (or made in the case of "Jamboree Buddy getting an individual article) after Jamboree releases. Also, doing the proposal now means anyone wanting to make these changes to the wiki won't have to wait more than a week since the outcome of the proposal is only a week before the game's release. Sorry for such a long response, LOL.-- Pizza Master 18:42, September 26, 2024 (EDT)

I don't think making a page for the ally mechanic from Super Mario Party is the kind of thing that would need a proposal. The potential point of contention is how to handle "Jamboree Buddy" in relation to that, and I think it would make more sense to have that discussion after the game has come out so our opinions are more informed.

Yeah, I'm with Hewer. We should wait until Jamboree comes out and see how to handle the Ally/Jamboree Buddy thing. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 09:01, September 27, 2024 (EDT)

Apparently Mario Party: Star Rush has an ally mechanic as well (I didn't play that game but according to the Super Mario Party page it's the same mechanic), so I guess that should also go on this page. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 09:37, September 27, 2024 (EDT)
