Talk:List of characters by game

Can someone please do the Super Paper Mario characters. I haven't played the game, and I don't want to spoil it for me, so can someone do that section. That and the Mario Party Advance section. Thank You. My Bloody Valentine

Wiggler?

The wiggler made his apperence in super mario world not in Mario 64!Count Bonsula I need blood...

Wigglers from Super Mario World are an enemy type, the one from Super Mario 64 is an individual.--vellidragon 11:15, 22 February 2010 (EST)

Necessary?

Is this really necessary? I mean, I think it's a lot more helpful just to organize them by alphabetical order, which it already is. Besides, I'm pretty sure the list is incomplete. GreenDisaster 18:02, 2 June 2012 (EDT)

This list is confusing

What is this list supposed to be showing? A character's first appearance based on the game, correct? So... why are there enemies like Tatanga listed, and certain characters, like Toad, are misplaced. Are we listing enemies too? And are we listing based on the first playable appearance of the character?
Either the opening statement does not list enough information, or this page needs a serious overhaul. 13:51, 11 March 2017 (EST)

I have been wondering about this page too. Is it even needed, since we already have a List of characters page? This page is pretty much the same, just in a different order. I also agree that the opening statement does not list enough information, as I recently had to revert some edits by someone who thought that enemy species needed to be listed too. --TheFlameChomp (talk) 13:56, 11 March 2017 (EST)

Well It's Definitely Not First Playable Appearance, Otherwise Peach Would Be Listed Under Super Mario Bros. 2 And The Super Mario Bros. Section Would Not Exist. I Recommend That {{rewrite}} Be Put On This Page, Because It Looks Like This Page Needs One.

I could fix it. I just need to know exactly what I'm trying to fix. 14:08, 11 March 2017 (EST)

Move to "List of characters by media".

So with List of locations, it has a page similar to it called List of locations by media, which is the same thing except it is categorized by media in order of release. This page is similar to that except it's for characters and it only lists games, not the TV shows, films, publications, albums and whatever else. Which is fine, but then there's List of enemies by game which actually makes sense because if something gets classified as an enemy, it needs to come from a game unless it's modern incarnation gets turned into one. So should this get the same treatment as List of locations by media and include other forms of media? Not just games?

This is an idea I've had before, but I think a better title would be "List of characters by first appearance", which I think is a bit more clear. I wouldn't mind renaming that location list to match. Hewer (talk · contributions · edit count) 02:37, November 4, 2024 (EST)

That actually makes a lot of sense! I was confused when I first went onto this wiki and I thought it was kind of strange they named it like that.

Expanding and renaming

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

Following on from the above section, I figured I should make this a proposal. This page is a list of characters by their first appearance, but for some reason, it only includes game characters, unlike the alphabetical list of characters. I can't really think of a reason to keep it like this, so I'm proposing we rename the page to "List of characters by first appearance" and expand the scope to cover non-game media as well.

If this proposal passes, List of locations by media, List of enemies by game, List of moves by game, and List of playable characters by game will also be renamed to "List of locations/enemies/moves/playable characters by first appearance" for consistency. However, the scope of these four pages will not change, as the location list already covers non-game media and the other three make sense to keep limited to games. The List of characters by game is the only page that will have more than just its name changed by this proposal.

Support

1. Hewer (talk) Per proposal by first appearance
2. EvieMaybe (talk) per
3. ThePowerPlayer (talk) The new name makes much more sense. If it says that characters are listed "by game", I'd expect Mario to show up hundreds of times.
4. ViableBunnyBudd (talk) Per proposal.
5. Rykitu (talk) I was the one who started this so per all.
6. Nintendo101 (talk) Seems like a fine idea.
7. JanMisali (talk) Per all.
