HI, I'm your rocking Co-director here with last month's Section of the Month results. For our Awards Issue we had our largest Main Team in a while, with a handful of special sections, the re-inclusion of '''Upcoming Games''' and '''Mario Calendar''', and the return of fan-favorite '''A History of Video Games'''. As you can see in the table above, debuting-writer Chuck Ballymoo got a third place finish after covering ''Super Mario 64'' for his first [[The 'Shroom:Issue LXXVIII/A History of Video Games|'''A History of Video Games''']]. Our very own Paper Yoshi got second place last month in what was [[The 'Shroom:Issue LXXVIII/Upcoming Games|'''Upcoming Games'''']] return to the Main Team. And getting last month's SOTM Award.... Timmy, who is now a perfect 2-for-2! In his latest [[The 'Shroom:Issue LXXVIII/Brawl Tactics|'''Brawl Tactics''']] he showed us the Pros and Cons of fighting as none other than Princess Peach. {{br}} | HI, I'm your rocking Co-director here with last month's Section of the Month results.

Hey there 'Shroomers, and welcome to the October edition of [[The 'Shroom:Spotlight|'Shroom Spotlight]]! Spotlight is a monthly 'Shroom section which acts as an improvement drive for the wiki, focusing on specific issues with a handful of articles, and organizing a collaboration amongst readers to help improve those articles. [[The 'Shroom:Issue LXXVIII/The 'Shroom Spotlight|Last month]], we focused on four different articles, all varying in subject material and problems that those specific articles had. The article [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]] required more images for the individual missions within the Galaxy, and we able to improve the article by applying several uploaded images to give visual examples of those missions. [[F.L.U.D.D.]] had an overly long Trivia section, which we were able to trim to an acceptable length and incorporate the points in the rest of the article! The article [[Mystic Forest]], which used to be a stub article of only two lines in length was given a ''massive'' overhaul, thanks to the work of a user called {{user|Icemario11}}. Thanks for all your hard work for the Spotlight project, dude! The forth article we focused on was [[Gritzy Caves]], which had a lot of poorly worded ("gritzy") paragraphs. Readers successfully collaborated to help rewrite and improve the article. All goals for last month's edition were fully completed, and we would like to show our gratitude to all those who participated. A new edition means a new collaboration. So without further ado, let's shine the spotlight on the group of article which will be the focus for this month! | Hey there 'Shroomers, and welcome to the October edition of [[The 'Shroom:Spotlight|'Shroom Spotlight]]!

Halloween. Yep. What would we do without it? Being forced to buy loads of sweets and not being able to eat them because we're obliged to give them to groups of at least three (for some reason) children or getting toilet paper or something equally unpleasant thrown at your house (though that doesn't happen much here because I don't think people care here but I think you get the point)?

First off, the slope on the left side of the stage. It's a pretty steep slope, which means Pokeballs and other items will bounce right off of it, and they'll be gone if you can't catch them. Another bad thing about this slope is that when it rains on this stage, this slope becomes very slippery. The rainwater will flow so quickly that if you stand on this part of the stage for too long, it will carry you away off the cliff quite quickly. This can get annoying if you're trying to get away from an attack, as the area where you can walk on gets even smaller. Along with the reduced terrain in the rain, the rainwater makes Final Smashes like Samus' quite dangerous. If you activate your Smash on this slope when it rains, (using Samus as the example), when your laser runs out and she is losing her armor, the flood of water will carry you away while you are immobile. By the time you can move again, it's almost too late for you to do anything. My advice is to either stay away from this rainy slope or only stand on it when you are sure you'll have a way to pull yourself back up when the water carries you away. | First off, the slope on the left side of the stage.

Twenty years ago, in the fall of 1993, saw the announcement of the Nintendo's next-gen hardware... Three years before it hit the shelves. In our time, it's very unusual if new consoles are announced a year and a half before they reach the shelves, as was the recent case of the Wii U (the Xbox One and the PS4 was merely half of that even!). This hasn't always been the case. In the Fall of 1993, Nintendo unveiled their next platform, codename '''Project Reality'''. Nintendo had already unsuccessfully tried to bring about a 32-bit console, so many did not believe that Nintendo could deliver the 64-bits they were promising at a reasonable price. But they all turned out to be obdurate, as the N64 launched at only $199.99. | Twenty years ago, in the fall of 1993, saw the announcement of the Nintendo's next-gen hardware...

Oh god, I'm late with this section. Whatever, at least I got it in. | |||
Some of you may know that this year we hosted an event in ''Minecraft'' for the awards, creatively titled the ''Minecraft Games''. It was basically an event where people got on a Minecraft server and played games for fun and token profit. LTQ and I were the hosts of it, and I'd like to thank LTQ as he did a great job with all of the technical things involved with hosting the server and abusing the fuck out of Redstone Repeaters. I'd say there are +200 Redstone Repeaters in that world...I'll explain later. | |||
