Alex95 has been blocked indefinitely from editing the Super Mario Wiki for sitewide staff consensus regarding his behavior with alleged fraud and admitted account sharing.
See the block log.

Status: Fairly active. Other priorities are taking...priority, but I'm still around and can be contacted. Will be days where I just don't show up.
Current project: No focus for this wiki at the moment.

RULES

Standard Mario Wiki rules apply, of course. No spamming, trolling, vandalizing, removing comments, etc. Please follow the rules, your comment will get removed otherwise. You don't have to sign your comments here, but it'll make it easier for me to get back to you if you do.

No swearing or obscenity. These words will get edited out ASAP.

Please don't ask why I reverted or corrected your edit. Usually, I have a good reason and can back it up. Take a look at my contributions or the page history for more information regarding your edit, if available. If you must, you can ask for clarification, but only if you provide more than "Why did you delete my edit?!" (which will get removed).

Questions about my Power Master games and/or YouTube videos are fine. There are other places for those kinds of talk, of course, but I don't mind them on here.

Any questions relating to a different wiki, please post on my talk page there. If you're here to complain about a block I gave you on other wikis, your comment will be removed, though I may clarify a block on Discord if needed. Though if you need my immediate attention elsewhere, you can notify me here (or Discord), as I'm more active here than anywhere else.

I'm a friendly guy and am willing to engage in friendly conversation, so long as the sections don't become too excessive. If a topic header already exists for your question, please post under that.

I will archive once this talk page reaches 200 messages. Please do not make any message telling me to archive. It's a waste of a notification, and it will be removed.

Unless it's an important response you should know about or if I started the conversation on your page, I will respond here.

I welcome friendship, but only if I know you well enough.

I'm all for helping with games, so long as I own it or the guide! Otherwise, I probably won't be able to help much.

If someone gets blocked on another wikipedia, then does it mean that they get blocked on other wikis too?[edit]

If someone gets blocked on another wiki, than does it mean that they get blocked on other wikis too? This does not include fandoms (ones like mario.fandom.com. spongebob.fandom.com the 2 gone tantrum.fandom.com and other ones too. 107.146.244.150 15:20, June 1, 2021 (EDT)

Not usually. If you get blocked here, you won't get blocked on SmashWiki, for example. Unless you did something very wrong.

"tantrum.fandom", sheesh.

19:30, June 1, 2021 (EDT)

OK. 107.146.244.150 20:49, June 1, 2021 (EDT)

I had also submitted a Do you like SpongeBob poll yesterday? and I hope it gets selected as the next poll. 107.146.244.150 18:43, June 2, 2021 (EDT)

Has nothing to with Mario or the wiki, so I doubt it.

19:21, June 2, 2021 (EDT)

I also remember submitting a poll to the wiki about do you think Nintendo will celebrate The Legend of Zelda's 35th Anniversary but it got declined. I was not happy. 107.146.244.150 15:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

OK. 107.146.244.150 15:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

Bowser Castle music (Mario Kart DS)[edit]

Hi, I've come back to tell you something regarding the Bowser Castle music from Mario Kart DS is that it used a sample from the Michael Jackson song Black or White. I found that on the spreadsheet which i have told you about many times. MarioKartFan4863927 14:47, June 6, 2021 (EST)

Honestly complete forgot about that spreadsheet, but what's your examples?

17:35, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

Mainly the Mario Kart ones. So are you gonna edit the DS Bowser Castle race course page to add the information that i've just told you and by the way, here's the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJBlHHDc65fhZmKUGLrDTLCm6rfUU83-kbuD8Y0zU0o/edit?pli=1#gid=717751203). MarioKartFan4863927 19:02, June 7, 2021 (EST)

Will look more into it later.

14:05, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

Ok. MarioKartFan4863927 16:15, June 8, 2021 (EST)

I listened to both MKDS's Bowser Castle and Michael Jackson's Black or White, and they don't sound at all the same to me. Bowser Castle is actually a slowed down remix of the Airship Fortress theme at times. If there are specific points in the soundtracks you are referring to, point me to them, but I'm pretty sure any connections are coincidental.

14:47, June 8, 2021 (EDT)

If you look on the spreadsheet, The song "Black or White" is listed under Mario Kart DS as a sample not a remix. MarioKartFan4863927 16:28, June 9, 2021 (EST)

I looked at timestamp 0:57. Not hearing it.

Help wanted: rewriting articles[edit]

I found some errors on MarioWiki:Glossary. What's in bold is how I believe the text should be corrected.

"A device that allows players to cheat in a game by accessing the game's code."
"Also used as an umbrella term for all the promoted ranks (sysops, patrollers, and bureaucrats)."
"Their contributions are attributed to their IP addresses themselves, rather than unique usernames."
"On forums, avatars are simply the picture or icon that users display on their profiles."
"A restriction imposed upon a sockpuppet or severely misbehaving user by an administrator that prevents them from editing the database."
"Users that are run by automated scripts and/or programs to carry out mundane and repetitive tasks."
"E.g., 'There's a bug in the editor: it writes things out backward.'"
"Most often applied to processor-memory access but also used for a local copy of data accessible over a network, etc."
"A brief appearance of a character, species, or item in a medium (a game, movie, comic, etc.) other than the one it originated in."
"An extension to HTML to allow styles (e.g., color, font, and size) to be specified for certain elements of a hypertext document."
"A programming error in a video game that results in unintended behavior, ranging from characters falling through solid objects or otherwise defying proper gameplay, to game freezes and the corruption or loss of saved data."
"In some platformer games, there is a certain number of lives that the player has."
"When the information from two or more articles is combined into a single page."
"An edit that doesn't really change the content of a page, but rather, fixes small details or mistakes, and other such maintenance work." (Remove commas.)
"This can happen when subjects are renamed over the course of the Mario series itself, or when a more appropriate and/or useful name is discovered, revealed, or suggested."
"In this wiki, the abbreviation denotes generally the North and South American versions of games for the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, or Wii, but can also include South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. These versions come into play mainly for region locking, although minor gameplay and localization differences may exist between NTSC and its European/Australian counterpart, PAL, versions."
"In this wiki, the abbreviation denotes generally the European and Australian version of games for the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, or Wii."
"Used before a username/a group of users (i.e., "Per X", or "Per all") to indicate that the person agrees with that/those user(s). Used in voting for Featured Articles, Proposals, etc. Etymologically, "per" is Latin for "through", so literally, the voter is expressing their opinion through the other user(s)." (Remove comma after "Per X"; un-italicize "per" after "Etymologically.")
"A wiki link where the displayed text is different from the article it leads to. Example: Mario shows up as Mario, but actually links to the Mario (franchise) page." (Remove comma.)
"This also includes altering the text (such as making the switch from active to passive, e.g., 'Mario stomped on the Goomba' to 'The Goomba was stomped by Mario.')."
"For example, in Luigi's Mansion 3, after the player goes through the door in the back of the Main Observation Room, the rest of The Last Resort becomes inaccessible and the player's only option is to climb to the Rooftop and face King Boo." (This fixes a dangling modifier.)
"In Super Smash Bros. games, the term refers to either reducing one's damage percentage or returning to the stage after being attacked or falling."
"Short for Role Playing Game." (Add quotation marks around "Role Playing Game.")
"A work of fiction (book, game, etc.) that continues the story or otherwise builds upon a previously released work."
"A user's name or a design that includes the name, which a user puts below or after their comments on talk pages to show that they were the one who wrote said comment."
"Spin-off or spinoff" (This is just another spelling, not a correction.)
"A game that has other gameplay types rather than the usual gameplay type it has (e.g., Mario Tennis, Mario Kart)."
"A file type that, unlike raster formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF), is comprised of vectors (shapes), rather than pixels."
"Short for Table of Contents." (Add quotation marks around "Table of Contents.")
"A box that users are free to create and use to describe their likes, dislikes, favorites, and other pieces of information about themselves." Dwhitney (talk) 16:29, June 10, 2021 (EDT)

Changed what I thought needed changing.

17:35, June 10, 2021 (EDT),

In this phrase, is "actually" meant to be italicized? "A system of classification that separates official media products from unofficial media products and official but disowned works, therefore determining which characters, locations, events, etc. 'actually' exist in a series' fictional universe." Dwhitney (talk) 18:16, June 10, 2021 (EDT)

No, I don't think so.

18:22, June 10, 2021 (EDT)

Here are more errors I found on MarioWiki:Good writing. What's in bold is how I believe the text should be corrected.

"However, there are a few issues that frequently come up with the writing."
In the "Bad writing" section, after "Summaries that aren't," "Pseudo-walkthroughs," "Padding," "Mario mania," "Everything but the kitchen sink," "Captain Obvious," "Flowery writing," "Epic writing," "Gridmark," "Reading between the lines," "Unsupported analysis," "Judgement calls," "Knitting everything together," "Fan worship," and "Fusing gameplay and story elements," change the hyphen to an en dash.
""Peach is kidnapped by Bowser and Mario sets off to rescue her." is plot. "Mario traversed the grassy plains of World 1 and used Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and rare Invincibility Stars to defeat new foes and challenge the False Bowser waiting for him at the castle." is not plot. It's cruft." Dwhitney (talk) 16:30, June 20, 2021 (EDT)

Here are more errors I found on MarioWiki:Glossary. What's in bold is how I believe the text should be corrected.

"the smallest unit of storage - sufficient to hold one bit." (Change the hyphen to an en dash.)
Since "bot" uses a plural definition, I think the word should be "bots."
"Cover version (often shortened to cover)" (Put the second "cover" in quotation marks.)
"Not to be confused with remix." (Put "remix" in quotation marks.)
"It is equivalent to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), from which all other time zones are offset."
"Not to be confused with cover version." (Put "cover version" in quotation marks.)
"Short for Stupid Pointless and Annoying Message." (Unitalicize "Stupid Pointless and Annoying Message" and put it in quotation marks, simply because other shortened forms on MarioWiki:Glossary are in quotation marks.) Dwhitney (talk) 23:19, July 23, 2021 (EDT)

When do you think you'll fix these errors? Dwhitney (talk) 18:57, July 28, 2021 (EDT)

I've been very busy, will do so when I can.

13:43, July 29, 2021 (EDT)

Sentence structure[edit]

This sentence has been like this on Aces High since near the page's creation: "The only way the player can get rid of the following Bullet Bill is to do an off-course and get rid of it." Do you think you can make the sentence sound better? I asked Mario jc this a few days ago, but he didn't reply. Do you have an answer to my question? Dwhitney (talk) 17:04, July 5, 2021 (EDT)

I think by "off-course", it means the player has to flying into the course's barrier, which will make them do an immediate U-Turn. The action would result in the Bullet Bill flying past them. I haven't played MP3 in a long time, but that's how I'm understanding it.

00:37, July 6, 2021 (EDT)

Mario jc did reply to my question, saying, "Maybe it can be changed to 'The only way the player can evade a Bullet Bill pursuing them is to veer away from its trajectory.' but this is based on footage I watched since I don't own the game." Now I'm wondering whether the sentence is referring to how a player can get rid of a Bullet Bill he or she launched or how a player can avoid it, the former sounding more likely. Dwhitney (talk) 01:11, July 6, 2021 (EDT)

Maybe I misinterpreted "following Bullet Bill" as meaning the first Bullet Bill that a player launches. Dwhitney (talk) 01:41, July 6, 2021 (EDT)

I think "following Bullet Bill" is referring the the Bullet Bill that is going after a player. I think this might work: "If being chased by a Bullet Bill, the player needs to head toward the arena's barrier, which will cause them to automatically turn around and make the Bullet Bill miss." Someone with MP3 should verify, however. If only there was some kind of retro digital service Nintendo could've put this game on...

What needs to be done.[edit]

I'm new here and I'm looking for something to do to help the wiki. GamerLover08 (talk) 09:41, July 22, 2021 (EDT)

Welcome! You can check out MarioWiki:Maintenance or current Spotlight to see what needs to be done!

Underwater[edit]

Hello! I'm planning to creating an article related to the underwater sections in Mario Kart courses. But I'm not sure that this article is required, as I'm afraid it might just get deleted. Can you give me some advice? WildWario (talk) 06:05, August 31, 2021

I don't think we accept stuff like that. We don't cover specific track segments as separate articles. But we have anti-gravity, so maybe it's worth making a talk page question about it on the main talk page or something?

21:48, August 31, 2021 (EDT)

If I can suggest something, water/swimming is a common mechanic throughout the Mario franchise that I think might be worth making an article for it, like lava and poison. Maybe a "Water" article can be created covering its appearances and effects in games, including the Mario Kart underwater sections.

Mario JC 22:08, August 31, 2021 (EDT)

Thanks for your opinions. I'll try something like that out.

WildWario (talk) 22:17, August 31, 2021 (EDT)

Water is already something in Paper Mario, but yeah, a coverage like that would work.

Theme from a Summer's Place reference in the music for Deep Bloober Sea[edit]

Hi again, I've come back to tell you that the music for Deep Bloober Sea in Mario Party 3 has a reference to Theme from a Summer's Place like Shy Guy Beach and Cheep-Cheep Island from Mario Kart Super Circuit which i've heard through comments on YouTube. MarioKartFan4863927 18:05, October 4, 2021 (EST)

Why would you ban me from your own discord?[edit]

Cap Block[edit]

I did a proposal for Cap Block, but the result is "no consensus." In this situation, am I still free to create a Cap Block article? Dwhitney (talk) 12:58, December 16, 2021 (EST)

No. It'd be as if the proposal failed, i.e. nothing is going to happen.

13:05, December 16, 2021 (EST)

Punctuation in reference tags[edit]

Remember our talk about this? I want to let you know that according to MarioWiki:Citations, "it's preferred to insert the <ref></ref> tag after any punctuation such as a comma or period." Dwhitney (talk) 15:19, December 26, 2021 (EST)

Ye, I'm aware.

15:43, December 26, 2021 (EST)

404 page[edit]

On your userpage, the "site that goes into more detail about [you], the games [you] have, etc." links to a 404 page "not found." Dwhitney (talk) 14:33, January 5, 2022 (EST)

Ye, I'm aware. Where it went ended up getting deleted, so I'm working on fixing that.

14:34, January 5, 2022 (EST)

Spotlight[edit]

I would like to ask, weren't all of the spotlight goals except for Super Rush completed last month? WildWario (talk) 20:19, January 15, 2022 (EST)

It would look like they are. I guess they were finished after Yoshi876 posted an updated.

21:48, January 18, 2022 (EST)

Due to this, will the paragraph of the Spotlight section be changed?

WildWario (talk) 07:56, January 20, 2022 (EST)

Ban[edit]

To explain in short before other users question the reason, Alex95 is banned due to a sitewide consensus on our Discord channel: he had been asking large sums of money from multiple community members, and while he likely not directly involved with the alleged fraud that may have happened, he was still heavily complicit in his situation and we are banning him for the general safety of the community. He has also admitted that he shared his account with a third party who may have involved with the alleged fraud. Due to that, his ranks have additionally been stripped. He is additionally banned on the forum and on our Discord. Ray Trace^(T|C) 01:20, April 3, 2022 (EDT)

Would every NIWA wiki ban him as well?

Remembered Old Buddy

I think so. It’s the only logical choice. OhoJeeOnFire (talk)

-== Big Boss Bertha ==
-Hi, may I ask why you're so against merging Boss Bass with Big Cheep Cheep, and even more puzzling, disagree with the merging of Boss Bass and Big Bertha, which share graphics and names with each other and are just an enlarged form of Cheep Cheep, which had ''5'' distinct behaviors in SMB3 (significantly more than the 2 different behaviors displayed by them) and were only given distinct names in a long-out-of-date strategy guide from 30 years ago, particularly given the other names for the "big" enemies it gave have been similarly overwritten? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 02:08, November 2, 2019 (EDT)
-:Having the same Japanese name ''in the same game'' (as is the case for Boss Bass and Big Bertha) is not only significant, it's an undeniable smoking gun. They literally share a bio ''and'' sprites, and have even ''less'' difference between the two of them than the Cheeps in SMB3. As for Cheep Chomp, that's a bit more complicated; the "Pukupuku" in SM64 was likely intended as a Blurp, hence the appearance, while Bubba (''Bakubaku'') was derived from it. If it were intended as a type of Cheep Cheep then, they would more likely have named it something like "Pakkun Puku" or something like that. Additionally, Boss Bass's design is used by normal Cheeps when they jump in SMW2YI and in [[Parachute]], meaning the "squinty" look isn't unique to them. They are literally just a large Cheep Cheep, like the "Blurps" in YS that act like Boss Bass but look just like a scaled-up Cheep. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:07, November 2, 2019 (EDT)
-::Address my points, please. It comes off like you're deliberately dodging the question, which is ultra rude. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:29, November 2, 2019 (EDT)
-:::You never addressed how the same name is within the same game (which ''is'' significant), how they have the same artwork and bio, or (most importantly) the "behavioral difference" is irrelevant because normal Cheeps in SMB3 have ''even more'' behavioral differences, yet they aren't split, and two of the five behaviors were enlarged to ''make'' Boss Bass and Big Bertha. There is ''too much'' alike to not have them merged. Keeping them split would be like splitting up the Chargin' Chucks, despite two behaviors being unnamed. Anyways, I'm not making the proposal now, because 1) I'm very busy at the moment due to midterms with me taking 6 different classes this semester, and 2) I want LTL to be around because he's good at covering my back with these. Regardless, the proposal ain't about Bass with Bertha; they're already merged as they should be. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:17, November 2, 2019 (EDT)
-::::Don't worry, I'm a little stressed myself from a certain Zelda-related incident (that I shall say no more about). [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:42, November 2, 2019 (EDT)
-:::::Large-sized generic Cheeps have acted as Boss Bass in early Mario Party games as well as ''[[Parachute]]''. Heck, that's what the YS Blurps are. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:02, November 3, 2019 (EST)
-::::::Most things are spinoffs; the ''Super Mario'' series had only 3 Nintendo EAD-developed games between SMB3 and NSMB. In fact, one of those games (''Sunshine'') had a "normal" Cheep that swam around and attempts (unsuccessfully) to eat Mario. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:37, November 3, 2019 (EST)
-:::::::They are. I'm saying the sample size you are demanding is far too small. Additionally, in SMW2, when normal Cheeps jump in an arc, they take the "large mouth and squinty eyes" appearance of Boss Bass. SM64DS conflated a totally different-but-similar enemy with the SM64 enemy, but unlike with Ukiki, that got quickly sorted out by leaving the appearance and behavior with Cheep Chomp and making Boss Bass a more generic-acting Cheep. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:38, November 3, 2019 (EST)
-:::::::Furthermore, I fail to see how Yoshi's Story is a spinoff; its content and aesthetic continues to influence the ''Mario'' franchise to this day. It's where Yoshis got their "non-mount" anatomy, after all. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 22:04, November 3, 2019 (EST)
-::::::::One more point: Big Bertha (Boss Bass underwater) is nonaggressive; just like the NSMB versions of Big Cheep Cheep, which are additionally found underwater. The Big Bertha acts as a larger version of SMB3's underwater (and thus, green) Cheep Cheeps, as such simply moving back and forth, with the Baby Cheep existing for no other purpose to provide more "reach." In the NSMB games, underwater Cheeps (and thus, Big Cheeps) now move forever forward, and as such no more "reach" can be gained. On the flipside, Boss Bass's role of "giant counterpart for jumping Cheep" has gone to [[Spike Bass]] and later [[Porcupuffer]]; itself the "giant Cheep" from SMW. Basically, it doesn't go back to its old behavior because a less-lethal creature currently occupies that niche. (Also, you could probably read walls of text on here better without that inane background, just sayin') [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 01:10, November 4, 2019 (EST)
-::::::::::Again, the extra reach is no longer necessary, so the extra modeling is eschewed. Regardless, regarding amount of behaviors depending on game, Porcupuffer's had the same amount in platforming games, and Boss Bass/big Blurp/Mega Cheep-Cheep/Big Cheep Cheep has always been designed as simply an enlarged Cheep Cheep, even back in SMB3. I work with SMB3 sprites, and it's really just a "blurriness-fixed" version of an enlarged Cheep sprite from the game, with the gaping mouth being to feasibly fit Super Mario in it.

-::::::::::Furthermore, I'm pretty sure that in NSMBW and/or NSMBU, where Big Cheep Cheep is only half again as large as normal Cheep Cheep, it isn't textually differentiated from "normal" Cheep Cheep, thus putting it situationally on the same level as the Mario Party 1-3 examples. And at this point, ''Mario Party'' is hardly a "spinoff" anymore due to the amount and regularity of the entries. And while yes, it's true that the same JP name dos automatically mean a merge (hence why I made a new article for [[Rotten Mushroom]]), the genericness of the word "big" makes it more clear-cut, as the other "big" enemies of the era also share that. Big Piranha Plant has a totally different behavior between SMB3 and NSMB as well, and wouldn't be piped in a NSMB game until U. The main exception to the "big" thing is the Wiggler, but that had the typical later one in the data unused alongside it, and was "kyodai" after the old "kyodai" had become "dai."

-Mario and Luigi<br>Are the heroes of a land.<br>In the Mushroom Kingdom,<br>Princess Peach is in their hands.<br>Toad and Yoshi are also there<br>And sometimes help the Mario Bros.<br>But after they stop a capture,<br>King Bowser just does another.

Also, [[Game & Watch Gallery 4#Sprites|the Yoshi sprite looks a little different from the Baby Yoshi sprite, in my opinion]]. For these reasons, I'd like to remove the ''Fire'' Baby Yoshi appearance info from the Baby Yoshi article, but I'd also like to remove the ''Fire'' Yoshi image from the [[Baby Yoshi#Game & Watch Gallery 4|Baby Yoshi]] article.

-== RE:Rabbit ==
-I respectfully believe you're thinking too hard about this. The Rabbits in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' are never actually given a name to refer to, they're just generic "species", so I'm not sure what you mean by that point. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 17:24, November 20, 2019 (EST)

-:Same can be said about the entities with "character" as an identifier for Mario Party Advance. "Character" always refers to specific unique entities, not an entire species. Also how are the rabbits in Odyssey characters? They don't even talk, aside from the Broodals and M. Broode.

-== Toadette Link ==
-No, it is Toadette's color. I'm skeptical about the "reference to Four Swords" thing. I think that they just happen to look similar because the characters share similar visually-appealing colors, not to mention how Purple Link was nixed from TFH. Also, despite what GMG said, [https://gamepedia.cursecdn.com/zelda_gamepedia_en/7/71/FS_Purple_Link_Sprite.png?version=aa529529bad3ce4d0df3c108a9821998 this is purple and looks like purple.] [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 23:01, December 6, 2019 (EST)

-:::Maybe, but I wouldn't say forgettable. It's an enjoyable game, we break it out every now and then. Yeah, the GBA is a bit of a restriction, so maybe a Switch rerelease like ''Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles'', that was set up similarly, would help. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:20, December 7, 2019 (EST)
-::::Not "forgettable" so much as "already forgotten." Though to be fair, it was never really in the public eye to begin with, unlike TWW or TP. I'm not saying it's a bad game, it's just a hassle to play. Also, clashing styles and sprite filtering are ugly and make accurate external assemblies pretty much impossible, but that's a different issue entirely.

-::::::As a spriter, looking at different pixel sizes superimposed over each other without a trace of irony is pretty much the worst thing ever. ALttP, TWW, and whatever Metroid-esque style was going on with Frostare don't mesh well at all. Also, there's the same reason I despise ''Yoshi's Story''{{'}}s graphics, due to being distorted by in-engine factors to heck and back, which makes them blurry and impossible to reproduce. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:13, December 7, 2019 (EST)
-:::::::I know some sprites are higher quality than the rest, namely the bosses. I don't remember any "superimposed" sprites, but I never really took a look at how sprites were handled internally, I just... played the game and it worked. That's all that mattered to me. Though I can tell how some things worked just by looking at them.

-::::::::Yeah ''that'' one is pure laziness for the up-facing sprites. Poor editing from the down-facing ones and a lot of what we call banding and pillowshading. But notice how the pixels making up the Links are kinda blurry around the outline in-game? That's in-engine distortion as a poor attempt to make them look smooth.

-::::::::::::I just don't like sprite filtering/resizing/distortion/rotating. It always looks off. It can make sense for storage reasons (like when they were just starting using it extensively in SMW2, which actually did it a lot better than most examples by thickening outlines), but more often than not it comes off as lazy.

-== Punctuation and reference tags ==
-LinkTheLefty and I appear to have another disagreement, this time about punctuation placed in reference tags. On Wikipedia, commas and periods are placed before reference tags, which is why I made it so in [https://www.mariowiki.com/Special:MobileDiff/2836054 this edit]. But LinkTheLefty reverted my edit twice. What do you admins prefer about this: Should commas and periods go before reference tags or after? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 01:38, December 31, 2019 (EST)
-:As a matter of fact, as LTL has told me, the current rule is "first come first serve" for that, and the tragically-deceased admin Walkazo preferred the ref-before-punctuation way, so until an actual proposal on the matter is enacted, he's going to do that out of respect for her. At least, if I remember correctly. Either way, you should talk to him, not the admins.

-::The examples we have on [[MarioWiki:Citations]] show the reference before punctuation, which is what I prefer, because, as I understand it, the reference is part of the information within the sentence.

-== Re:Super Mario Land 2 proposal ==
-I mean, I'd be fine if you made another proposal in a few weeks. I hoped it'd get as much input as possible. Though, as mentioned on the satellite/Guruguri talk page, some of the current generic names might not even be entirely accurate - satellite and spook head probably should have been "sharp satellite" and "floating spook head", for instance. ''Super Mario Encyclopedia'' complicates it because Dark Horse took names like the former from us before we had the full quote, and in the interest of reducing confusion, I also supported the status quo option. I disagreed with using all generic names since, as I've said before, most of the lowercase names seem like they were most likely just quick descriptors that the writers came up on the spot rather than official Nintendo of America names. They're hardly if ever reused in an explicit context. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:45, January 15, 2020 (EST)

-::Wow, that vandalism even got Super Mario Bros. to edit again for the first time in two years.
-::Pretty much the entirety of the talk page is based on her gender, so protecting the talk page isn't going to solve anything as that's likely going to remain the focus even among auto-confirmed users. Even so, the random vandal was also the first vandal that talk page has had in four years, and the first edit in general in nearly half a year, so it would need more consistent activity before it gets protected (not that I want that to happen). {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:08, January 15, 2020 (EST)

-:I think what it means is the Encyclopedia used the names from Nintendo Power, but modified them a bit. afaik, Nintendo Power has only used "Pipe Cannon", but an alternate name for [[Bullet Biff]] is Gina, so SMBE put them together it seems. Which is odd, as Bullet Biff never once went under "Gina" on the wiki (it was created under Gira, but moved in 2011). The wiki never once called the blaster itself Gina Cannon since I put the Pipe Cannon name on the page in 2017. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 01:29, January 21, 2020 (EST)
-::Does the phrase "and as the rest of the ''Super Mario Land'' enemies" by any chance mean the ''SMBE'' uses the enemies' original names from Nintendo Power in their descriptions?

-== Regarding mobile vs. immobile Bowser Statues ==
-Thing is, they aren't the only example of an enemy that can be mobile or immobile. Ptooies and Nipper Plants in SMB3 had versions stuck in one place and ones that moved around, for example. That's the only functional difference between the statues as well. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 23:33, February 16, 2020 (EST)
-:Yeah, but those are still functionally the same enemy. The Gold Statues can damage the Brothers upon direct contact, the regular statues, afaik, do not. The regular statues fire lasers or fire breath, while the Gold Statues do not. My concern isn't that they are both Bowser statues, it's that they are both Bowser statues that do two different things. The ending to ''Super Mario World'' unfortunately does not include either in the enemy cast role, so that doesn't help any.
-:And I'm not entirely clear on your "Regardless, they each act like their originator." statement. Doesn't that just mean they both act how I described? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:08, February 17, 2020 (EST)
-::Don't gold Bowser Statues shoot fire too? I seem to remember them doing so? Regardless, again, the ''only'' source to differentiate them also differentiates Troopa colors. And like them, they are the same thing with a different palette applied. Heck, it's not even the game's "gold" palette, it's the Monty Mole beige. The same source is also what split out ''some'' of the different Chargin' Chucks with their even-more-different behavior. And we've ''never'' had those split. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:19, February 17, 2020 (EST)

-::::OK, well what about things like SML2 where the art shows a different type from the typical action? Or SMW2 where they don't act different at all? Or SMW, NSMB, and NSMBW which have Paratroopas that use the other colors' "typical" behavior? Or the audience members you can't see the shells?

-:::::And again, I direct you to Chargin' Chuck, which had ''two'' projectile-launching versions that that guide split, yet we have merged. As an additional note, we have "obstacle" Bowser statues merged with identical "object" Bowser statues, particularly for, say, ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', so the "spits something or doesn't" distinction also doesn't hold up. And splitting those isn't the answer either, as they are how the developers chose to interpret the base "Bowser Statue" object.

-==Do you mind?==
-Hey Alex, i know if i'm being off-topic compared to this wiki, but i would like to arrange a ''heart to heart'' talk with you, because it's important.When i was active on the Smash Wiki and its Discord server, i was talking with you about Kirby's n-air before being blocked on the wiki and expelled from the server. I want to say i'm sorry for this mess, but if you want to know the truth, here's the data for the clean hit: it deals 10% base damage, with 35 units of base knockback and 117 units of knockback scaling. I was trying to tell you that before i was blocked. If you wanted to say that it couln't KO middleweights before 200% even at the ledge, this is true for the previous games, as well the later active hitboxes, but not for the clean hit in ''Ultimate'', as afromentioned. Do you ever use the SSBU Calculator? Because i calculated the KO percent on Mario on the ledge of FD, and it KOs at 110%, the same percent of back aerial by using the data i mentioned above. I also used it to calculate the percent on which most of Kirby's KO moves start to KO middleweights at this position. I want to have a ''heart to heart'' talk with you, and i hope you can understand what i mean and if you can forgive me for this mess. Recently, i was roaming around the rules and i found out a few stuff: first, they say that everyone is valuable, and if this is true, i am too, and second, in the ''administrators'' page i also found something that say: ''administrators are not kings'', which means that administrators are at the top, but it doesn't mean they know everything and that they're always right. You are not an administrator but you still have a large role in the community, and since i was talking to you when this mess happened, i felt that i had to apologize to you. It seems that when i say my opinion, i get attacked because no one wants to hear me. Everyone has  their opinions, i respect them and i certanly don't try to force them, but it doesn't mean that you guys have to make all this mess because of one stupid conversation on Discord, and you guys said that here were allowed subjective talks, but when i say something, i get attacked for stating my opinion. This is bad faith, and also rude, especially since i only started to use an account for a wiki  a week ago, while contributing as anonymous for a few months. Do you honestly think that it's that easy to work in a wiki? I know because i already experienced that. Also, the last edit i did to Kirby's SSBU page before i was blocked was describing Kirby's cons as well as the startup of his moves in Ultimate, so it wasn't sugarcoating, as i was also better describing Kirby's troubles in dealing with pressure due to his aerials not being fit for this due to their startup, like Pit's. If you're still mad at me, then i won't blame you, but, please, i want to clear all this mess, because this has been going for far too long. I just hope that you can understand me and forgive me. [[Special:Contributions/79.18.11.200|79.18.11.200]] 06:09, February 23, 2020 (EST)
-:You trying to help give information was not the issue, it was the way you were acting. It wasn't just Kirby, you and a group of people (or maybe they were all you, idk) were constantly changing information that made calculations inaccurate and conflicted with what was actually in the data of the game. And when your information was removed, you kept adding it back. This is known as "edit warring" and should never happen. And then you continued editing around your block, which is ban evasion, and gets you into even more trouble.
-:As you have said before, you don't have ''SSB4'' or ''SSBU''. This means all of your calculations are theoretical and have no ground to stand on. You can assume Mario gets KO'd from Final Destination's ledge with Kirby's Neutral Air at 110%, but it's also possible that it does not. You don't know, you can't test this.
-:"Administrators are not kings" is true, but they are highly respected members and are supposed to be listened to when they tell you to do something. Going against this has consequences.
-:You can have opinions, no one is saying you can't. But when your "opinions" are based on subjective theoreticals going against experienced players, then they mean nothing. Those aren't opinions, that's speculation, which can be wrong.
-:"Do you honestly think that it's that easy to work in a wiki?" Well, I've been editing for six years now, and have been a staff member for three, so, yes, I do think it is pretty easy. Coding may take a while to learn, but it is not hard to follow the rules and suggestions of a community. How long you've been editing a wiki doesn't matter, it's how you behave.
-:I, and the rest of Smash Wiki, will possibly forgive you once you have the games yourself and are capable of testing your calculations before trying to push them as fact. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:36, February 23, 2020 (EST)
-As i said, the SSBU Calculator is the official way to calculate KO percents. Do you ever use it? I could buy the game and the Nintendo Switch if i want to, but i can't, it's too expnsive. Since i'm Italian, it would cost somethning like 500 euros to get both the game and the console. besides, as i said, the SSBU Calculator is the official way to calculate KO percents. Do you ever use it? [[Special:Contributions/79.18.11.200|79.18.11.200]] 10:40, February 23, 2020 (EST)
-:I don't, because I'm not too knowledgeable on the technical data, and don't have a need to use it. I learn who dies at what percent from what character through experience. I have mentioned that to you before, I am not the right person to talk to about this. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:42, February 23, 2020 (EST)
-Remember Dracorex? When i talked to him about the SSBU Calculator, he said that it could be useful. The truth is that KO percentages are heavily dependent on positioning, but the most accepted ones come from the ledge of Final Destination and on middleweights, like Mario, so using him as the one who takes the attack will give an idea on around which percentages will the move KO. I even updated the moveset tection with the percentage in which each move starts KOing. If you have noticed that some multihits only count the final hit, you can subtract the damage from all the multihits to the percentage. This calculator doesn't really count DI, but if you reach the blastline with enough knockback when or before the hitstun ends, it's an unavoidable KO.[[Special:Contributions/79.18.11.200|79.18.11.200]] 10:48, February 23, 2020 (EST)
-Also, i could buy the game and the console if i want, but i can't afford them right now, they cost too much. This is why i'm using technical data to take account on something about the moveset. [[Special:Contributions/79.18.11.200|79.18.11.200]] 10:51, February 23, 2020 (EST)
-:Okay, clearing something up here. I don't use the Smash Calculator, but I do know how it was built. It uses datamined information from the game, so I don't have any doubt that your theories have some merit behind them. But you have shown other issues on Smash Wiki that do not relate to the calculator: general misconduct, lack of understanding basic knowledge about certain characters, and continuing to talk to users who want nothing more to do with this. And even with the accurate calculations, you have no way of actually testing them. You're a scientist without a lab.
-:This conversation has nothing to do with Mario Wiki. I have you blocked on Discord because you kept trying to keep an ended conversation going. I have more important things I need to be doing, so please follow rule 5 I have at the top of my talk page and drop this discussion until you actually have work to show. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:57, February 23, 2020 (EST)

-Rule 5 says that if i have a question about another wiki or i want to attract your attention i should notify you on the talk page, so i'm not disrespecting this rule. I'm sorry if i'm bothering you, but this is important, and i can't talk about it with anyone else. I just want to have a civil conversation with someone.

-This is not about discussing blocks, it's about the situation and what i feel about it. Who can i talk with if not with you? Both Dracorex and Serpent King don't want to talk to me, so i'm leaving them alone at the moment. I can't find anyone to talk with about the situation, which is still a mess.

-== RE:Bowser Statue Proposal ==
-Then how about if I break it down? There were six voters in that proposal. Three voted in favor of option 2, and four voted in favor of option 3. 3/6 is exactly half, but 4/6 is about 66.67%; therefore option 3 passes. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 12:27, February 27, 2020 (EST)
-==Removing comments==
-That's not the case. Per [[MarioWiki:Courtesy]]: "The only comments you are allowed to remove are flames and acts of vandalism, and the only times you can alter another user's comment is to fix broken coding or replace a custom signature with {{user}} on pages which enforce the no-signature policy. Altering the actual content of a comment, even if you're just fixing typos, is a warnable offense. This is not limited to mainspace: even on your own talk page, you shouldn't delete a conversation. It is also inappropriate to go back and alter or remove your own comments from talk pages; if you no longer stand by something you said earlier, slash it out using <s></s> or <del></del>, but be sure to leave it up for the record. In proposals and FA nominations, if no one has "per"d your vote or addressed it in the comments, you may remove it; however, if someone has referred to your vote, you must slash it out and ensure that it is no longer counted in the tally by affixing it to the preceding line through use of <br>." The only time when unpopular comments can be removed are on Proposals and FA nominations. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 12:48, February 27, 2020 (EST)
-:That is in reference to another user's comment. You are freely able to remove your own should someone have not responded and you figured out what you wanted on your own or if you no longer stand by it. In other words, it's a form of self redaction. If someone has responded, then yeah, the comment needs to stay, because it is now relevant to something. You can choose to leave the comment there or strike through it, though. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:52, February 27, 2020 (EST)

-== Castle Key proposal ==
-Hi, do you have a good idea on how to close [[Talk:Castle Key#Split the Castle Keys|this three-option proposal]]? Even though there are four votes each for the first two options, option 2 has three first-choice votes and one second-choice vote, while option 2 has four first-choice votes. With seven voters total, this would theoretically place the majority at 4/7 (more than half), and the minority at 3/7 (less than half). Thoughts? {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 11:22, March 1, 2020 (EST)
-:"Second option" really just means you would prefer another option, but are still okay with this possible outcome. I don't think it determines vote priority. I would consider this a tie. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:57, March 1, 2020 (EST)

The image is a booklet that has 3 games in it: Mario Undoukai, Super Mario Kart Dokidoki Race and Super Mario's Rock-Paper-Scissors. Is there any way we can reverse this error?

-== Broken discussion page ==
-I think the discussion page on list of Mario Kart Wii trading cards is broken. I can't see "split" or "merge" when I hit discussion, just "discuss" on the top of the list page. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 16:04, March 3, 2020 (EST)
-:Because that's not how wikis work. Splitting and merging pages are done through basic editing, not through a page button. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:40, March 3, 2020 (EST)
-I mean none of the discussions of that page show up in the discussion board. They only show up in the bar on the top of the list. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 16:45, March 3, 2020 (EST)
-:No discussion has been made yet, so the page has not created. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:50, March 3, 2020 (EST)
-Then how come discussions appear as a wiki page when I hit the word discuss on the bar on top that says it's been suggested that the list and the gallery for the cards be merged? Also, I posted my discussion (named merge) in the discussion board after I hit the bottom button to add discussions and it's not showing up on the discussion board. Only when I hit the word discuss on the suggestion bar. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 02:37, March 4, 2020 (EST)

-== Heat-proof characters? ==
-Ya notice in a lot of ''Mario'' games that Mario, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, and certain other characters don't seem to get hot when they're in lava levels (with Mario and Luigi wearing long-sleeved shirts), unlike Link in ''The Legend of Zelda'' games? Do you suppose these ''Mario'' characters are heat-proof, or how do you think they can tolerate the heat? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 02:56, March 7, 2020 (EST)
-:And yet Mario sweats in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and Link is fine in ''The Wind Waker''{{'}}s Dragon Roost Cavern. In both of those games, they have slightly different clothing than usual, so the only possible explanation is magic clothing. Link has that in ''Ocarina of Time'' after all. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:50, March 7, 2020 (EST)

I found that to be false: In one ''Yoshi's Story'' level ([[Mecha Castle]], I believe), I popped a Bubble Pop with a question mark inside containing a [[Special Heart]], and it took more than six touches to pop it. I'd like to correct that content, but I don't know exactly how many times the player needs to touch a Bubble Pop to pop it (I think it's about 20). You think you can find someone to help verify the info? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 23:17, March 10, 2020 (EDT)

-Hello. Our [[MarioWiki:Babel|babel]] states that Romanian is currently supported on this website, as I requested for it back when I joined.

But I'm curious whether it's okay to keep the Animal Crossing ones or remove them on grounds that they are not ''Mario''-related. Same with Play Nintendo quizzes that don't only focus on Mario (such as [[Nintendo Hearts Fun Trivia Quiz (2020)|this one]])--should they be trimmed to only have ''Mario'' content? Personally, I think they benefit from the same type of coverage the Smash Bros. series gets, but I would like to know your point of view :) {{User:Bye Guy/Sig}} 15:59, March 23, 2020 (EDT)

In general, I'd say keep the [[Wart]] is dead speculation off, much like the [[Tatanga]] is dead speculation. [[User:Delsait|Delsait]] ([[User talk:Delsait|talk]]) 20:00, March 25, 2020 (EDT)

The deflection to this is to say "Because if I wasn't under there, I'd be over there." Regardless, I'd be absolutely shocked if during the entire translation process it never crossed anyone's mind that the name the picked was a homophone for "underwear." It's just too obvious to miss.

-== Quote ==
-That Bowser Jr. quote is apparently legit, but was actually on the site for Mario Power Tennis [[Talk:Bowser Jr.#Source for Trivia|according to this]]. Unfortunately I can't access it with the Wayback Machine so I can't verify it. Either way, doesn't seem to be connected to Mario Kart Wii. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 13:20, May 5, 2020 (EDT)
-:My first thought was Prima, but as far as I know, they don't do quotes for the characters in ''Mario Kart Wii''. Either way, yeah, didn't belong there. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:40, May 5, 2020 (EDT)
-== SMM2 sections ==
-I know that the situation's somewhat different due to being level designers, but given we generally frown upon the use of "New Super Mario Bros. series" and "Super Mario Galaxy series" as headers, should it not be the same for "Super Mario Maker series?" SMM2 has the story mode anyways, so noting what levels in there particular elements appear would be worth its own section. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:19, May 5, 2020 (EDT)
-:The ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy'' series generally have different stuff all around, even the game play is changed slightly between the games. If it's something only ''Super Mario Maker 2'' has, like the Builder Mario power-up or the specific story, then it's something that goes in its own section because there's nothing before it to compare it to. But if it's something that is in all three games with little to no changes, it makes more sense to me to use "Super Mario Maker series" rather than a clunky "Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2" header or "Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS" with "Super Mario Maker 2" split into its own section. For a different example of merged games into a single header, see [[Mushroom]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:25, May 5, 2020 (EDT)
-::Yes, but "Mario Kart" is an actual full series, not a subseries. Either way, we should probably stop the "slash-reissue" thing ''unless'' specific changes to the relevant subject have been made. Either way, given SMM didn't have multiple themes and one style, putting object types that vary with those under one header when the specific variances are mentioned is outright misleading. Furthermore a ''lot'' of the NSMBU info for enemies amounts to "acts the same way as before," yet we still have them split. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:41, May 5, 2020 (EDT)
-:::The similar acting returning enemies in ''NSMB'' could probably be merged, too, but one thing at a time.
-:::"Series" or "subseries" doesn't really make a difference in terms of general coverage. "Super Mario Maker" is a series. But yes to the "slash-reissue" thing, that is the point I was making.
-:::But the first ''SMM'' had different themes and objects that changed with the style, so what do you mean by that? ''Super Mario Maker 2'' may have more themes and objects to work with, but in that case, the extra content would just have "Super Mario Maker 2" as the only Super Mario Maker section on the page.
-:::EDIT: Well, JC reverted, but it's a case-by-case thing anyway imo. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:50, May 5, 2020 (EDT)
-::::(EDIT CONFLICT) ._. What I am saying is that, for instance, listing the specific designs unique to forest/desert/snow/etc or SM3DW style under a SMM banner is misleading for the simple reason that SMM2 isn't a reissue, it's a sequel. As for series/subseries, it does make a difference, due to that the only subseries we have pages for per our coverage are the ''Super Mario Land'' (only considered a subseries now due to retroactively(?) being absorbed by the main Super Mario series) and ''Yoshi's Island'' (due to the first game being part of said subseries), and even in those cases we never list it as the series header for a history subsection on a page. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:58, May 5, 2020 (EDT)
-:::::Your points make sense. JC reverted because of the ''3D World'' information, which I just took as an expansion of what already existed. The "Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS" still looks clunky (and so does anything else with a "/" in the title), but I understand the setup, and it's better than just making a new "Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS" section when all it will say is "This acts that same as previously."
-:::::Maybe I can make up some proposal for this, for sections to be merged if the subject is in the same series and is no different. I don't think there's a writing guideline for it, it's just based on whoever is writing the article, hence the discrepancy between the ''NSMBU'' enemies and articles like [[Mushroom]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:08, May 5, 2020 (EDT)
-== TLDR on Metal Mario ==
-Hey uh, about Metal Mario...<br>
-Meta Crystal in Smash 64 is a kooky Metal Switch Cavern<br>
-the Melee Trophy describes both at once and lists SM64<br>
-Ultimate's spirit uses character's artwork in same array as where Mario's forms are<br>
-So if Smash separated them to begin with, they seem alarmingly insistent they're interchangeable.<br>
-Anyways, any inconsistencies with other characters using it I'd say would work like how the Cat Mario article lists Cat Peach's MK8 appearance. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 02:08, May 8, 2020 (EDT)
-:I ''do'' recognize that there are cross-appearances, specifically in Smash Bros. But even not counting Smash Bros., there is enough information in other spin-off titles that can keep Metal Mario's character article relevant. I can't say the same for Cat Peach, who has only appeared in MK8/MK8DX. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:29, May 8, 2020 (EDT)
-::"Can" does not mean "should," though. We ''could'' split all boss and enemy appearances of Wigglers, or boss and non-boss-character appearances of Birdo into two articles, but it wouldn't necessarily be the right thing to do.

-== Restoration ==
-Would you be willing to restore the audio files used in [[User:Shokora/List of audio samples used in Mario games|Shokora's audio sample project]]? I understand they were deleted for being "unused PIs", though I disagree with that since they weren't being used as personal images, weren't actually unused, and had potential mainspace use, not to mention it seems to go against the spirit of sandbox projects in general to me. I know Trig said he would keep the audio files stored elsewhere himself, but given the current situation that's not going to be very useful, and I think it would be better to have them hosted here and would make it much easier for someone to potentially pick the project up later. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 21:13, May 9, 2020 (EDT)

-:::I didn't see where else this was was being discussed so I'll add my own input here. Personally, since the localization was canceled, I'd say not to add them. The reason is because we don't know if the text is finalized or if the names will ever be reused in released capacity. Or, at the very least, it shouldn't be added to the wiki with the pretense that it made a final release - like for example, translations ought to be marked as being from a canceled localization.

-==[[Special:Diff/2982885|Link from Wind Waker]]==
-That's technically true, but at the same time, that's not exactly how the infoboxes delineate things? After all, regular Link isn't separated depending on which incarnation he is in the infobox, and the same goes for Ganondorf and Zelda. Yes, this particular rendition of Toon Link debuted in ''The Wind Waker'' due to certain characteristics unique to that version of the character, as well as trophies and tips telling us directly, but part of that is because ''The Wind Waker'' started development earlier and was even released before ''Four Swords'' in Japan, yet ''Four Swords'' did in fact release first overall. I feel like the introductory paragraph did a much better job explaining that [[Special:Diff/2878471|before]] [[Special:Diff/2878474|this]] [[Special:Diff/2879998|IP's]] [[Special:Diff/2888990|edits]]. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:16, July 18, 2020 (EDT)
-:Alright, I see your points. I was thinking about those edits from the IP you linked and noticed they weren't there anymore, but I didn't realize it was the same IP that changed them. But if ''Four Swords'' released after ''Wind Waker'' in Japan, but before ''Wind Waker'' in other areas, which one do we credit? Which one came first? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:24, July 18, 2020 (EDT)
-::Well I think the previous wording was fine since we just go with whatever released first period; for ''Smash'' example, Byleth's first appearance is listed as ''Fire Emblem Heroes'' Ver. 3.7.0 despite that obviously being as a tie-in to ''Fire Emblem: Three Houses'', or for regional example, we don't chronologically swap ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' and ''WarioWare: Touched!'' depending on which was localized in English first. There is the argument that "Toon" Link specifically refers to the cel-shading of ''The Wind Waker'', but that isn't strictly true because ''HD'' replaced the original cel-shading technique and ''Smash'' actually doesn't retain it for the character either, so the logical conclusion is that it must be referring to the overall character design.

-:::That makes sense. ZeldaWiki tells me the earliest date between them is ''Four Swords'' English release of December 2, 2002, beating Japanese ''Wind Waker'' at December 13, 2002. So I guess ''Four Swords'' comes first either way. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:10, July 18, 2020 (EDT)

-:I know the point of the proposal was to delete it, but considering how many things use "Shiny" in the series, I don't think there's anything proper to redirect it to.

-== Sketchy source ==
-Not too long ago a user uploaded [[:File:World War Blue Marcus and Yozu.png|this image]] for one of the Mario references pages. My issue with it is that the source is listed as a website where you can watch cartoons for free online, which aside from general sketchiness, those types of websites are often filled with intrusive (if not downright malicious) ads, not to mention the potential for the URL to be abandoned once the copyright police inevitably find them leaving them open to be recycled for worse things. Initially I was just going to remove the source, but given that it ''is'' the source for the image, I thought it would be better to get an admin's thoughts on it. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 22:22, September 26, 2020 (EDT)

-== RE: GameCube ==
-It's still relevant to the Wii U page because the GameCube was the previous title holder of being the worst-selling Nintendo home console. It lost against the PlayStation 2 and Xbox but not the Dreamcast because Sega killed it off early due to not having enough money to compete. It held the title for being the worst-selling Nintendo home console and the least successful Nintendo home console until the Wii U surpassed it. The comparison between the GameCube and Wii U is valid and worth mentioning because they were both flops and they both lost to their main competition that is the PS2 and Xbox for GameCube, and the PS4 and Xbox One for Wii U. --[[Special:Contributions/174.92.120.137|174.92.120.137]] 16:38, October 6, 2020 (EDT)
-*Sure, the PS2 and Xbox winning over GameCube doesn't mean much to the Wii U. But PS4 and Xbox One winning over Wii U does. But stiil, at the end of the day the GameCube and Wii U were both flops for Nintendo during their time and they were the darkest times for Nintendo as they lost the sixth gen and eight gen with the GameCube and Wii U respectively and retrospectively. The Wii was a massive success for Nintendo but the Wii U went back to being a failure and the fact that it couldn't sell as well as its predeccessor did and that it tanked, even harder than the GameCube which as I mentioned was Nintendo's least successful home console previously are the factors that matter more. I still maintain that it is a valid and relevant comparison to mention both respectively, retrospectively, retroactively, and historically, even on the Wii U article. They were both Nintendo consoles and that's what matters more along with the factors that I mentioned regardless of the eras they were in. --[[Special:Contributions/174.92.120.137|174.92.120.137]] 18:18, October 6, 2020 (EDT)

I assume this does not include [[Bickering Piantas]]? {{User:The Mansion/sig}} 14:16, October 26, 2020 (EDT)
-:Absolutely understandable. I feel the best solution for this, since there are a few distinguishable characters such as Dune Buddy and the shell flautist who make lots of appearance throughout various episodes, I'm planning on adding a "miscellaneous" section to both the [[Noki]] and [[Pianta]] pages to highlight those characters. If I have time, I'll go back to the episodes and note their appearances in a table. I also have all of the quotes for Dune Buddy, which can be added to the quotes page.

-== Classic Swoop vs. Swampire ==
-While I understand Swampires are based on the ''SMW'' design of Swoops, it's more likely the Green Swoops are simply just a nod to their classic design in the halloween art from their debut appearance and more of a coincidence from the Swampires. --[[User:KingGeoshiKoopshi64|KingGeoshiKoopshi64]] ([[User talk:KingGeoshiKoopshi64|talk]]) 01:41, October 27, 2020 (EDT)

(And I still think the statue should not) And the reason why I still don't think the statue should be documented is because no one knows whether or not it's meant to be a "Canon Mario" height or if they just mean it's big size, and I think it is pretty inappropriate for the Mario wiki to be using a source that isn't 100% confirmed if that makes sense, since the Mario wiki is a place people will look for and expect 100% confirmed information (It's why I had Larry height debates with people, despite me being the Larry Koopa fan, over Larry obviously being shorter than Mario, and they claimed Larry was the same size as Princess Peach and it took me showing them many screenshots and T-posed models, but it's because people expected this wiki, which had that false information on it, to have 100% confirmed and absolutely correct information) but to be honest, reading the interviews made me believe they just mean big sized, because the interviews imply that the New Donk citizens are normal sized people, and as such, they say to use New Donk City to get an idea of how Mario's abilities are measured. (Which can also be used to measure Mario's own height) Meanwhile Smash Bros doesn't count as a canon source for obvious reasons (but can still be documented) and the cartoons especially don't count as a canon source (but can still be documented, and even then, Mario looks more on the four foot side in those two) and I guess Mario Golf is Mario Golf, I haven't checked the heights there myself, but that source could stay since it is better than the statue. <s>And I think Mario and Sonic better explains New Donk City, lol</s> --[[User:GoldyFish110|GoldyFish110]] ([[User talk:GoldyFish110|talk]]) 17:57, November 6, 2020 (EST)GoldyFish110
-== American English ==
-LinkTheLefty and I appear to have yet another disagreement: the placement of commas and periods in quotation marks. Doc von Shmeltwick told me this wiki uses American English, and in that language, commas and periods go inside quotation marks, as stated under "Do commas and periods go inside or outside quotation marks?" on [https://www.grammarly.com/blog/quotation-marks this website]. As for [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Spelling standardization|this link]] and [[MarioWiki talk:Manual of Style#On the Topic of References|this link]], both of which LinkTheLefty referred to, the wiki doesn't seem to say anything about the placement of commas and periods in quotation marks. On the ''[[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]]'' page, LinkTheLefty reverted my edit about punctuation placement in quotation marks, after which Doc von Shmeltwick reverted his edit, after which Archivist Toadette reverted Doc's edit. LinkTheLefty said maybe a proposal on the matter could be made. Do you have any suggestions or solutions on the matter? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 22:06, November 12, 2020 (EST)
-:Yeah, that came up for me as well a while back. I don't remember what was decided, but my personal stance is if the quote has punctuation in it, then the punctuation it used is placed in the quotation marks where appropriate, otherwise it is placed outside them. For examples, if we had a quote of a game going ''I love this cake!'', then we would use "I love this cake!" with no punctuation immediately afterward.
-:For the ''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia'' example, the character's name isn't "Kuromame," with the comma as part of it, so we'd write "Kuromame" with punctuation immediately following the quotation. "Kuromame", rather than "Kuromame," at least how I think of it. That's clearly not what's happening on the page, so idk. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:14, November 12, 2020 (EST)
-::Just an FYI, I changed it back twice. Doc tried to provide an example in a reversion edit summary as "proof", but I looked at the site and, just as your deductions point out, only says something about actual quotes and not quoted names. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 22:19, November 12, 2020 (EST)
-:::...Maybe an actual discussion should take place first before constantly changing the article content. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:21, November 12, 2020 (EST)
-::::The site literally says "In American English, periods and commas are ALWAYS on the inside of quotation marks." (Their emphasis.) No further context is needed because that statement right there covers all possible bases. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 22:47, November 12, 2020 (EST)
-:::::<s>The site also supports Grammarly, which has been a mess to work with on wikis because it doesn't understand how fiction works.</s>
-:::::It doesn't make much sense to me to do that, but a quote is a quote, I guess. "Kuromame" is what's being quoted rather than "Kuromame," so it just looks wrong to me. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:04, November 12, 2020 (EST)
-::::::To be honest with you, I find it strange to put commas and periods inside certain quoted words and phrases (and have found it strange for many years). But as the saying goes, rules are rules. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 17:32, November 16, 2020 (EST)
-== Switch still supporting Miis 3D All-Stars. ==
-Why did you revert my edit mentioning the Switch still supporting Miis in the Changes to Super Mario Galaxy section on 3D All-Stars's page? It is true that the Switch still supports Miis as they can still be created and used in games and some Switch games can use them like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.--[[Special:Contributions/174.91.77.211|174.91.77.211]] 12:07, November 18, 2020 (EST)
-:1) You're edit warring. Article content should not be constantly changing. Edit summaries are not the place for discussions.
-:2) Yes, the Switch uses Miis, but that doesn't mean ''3D All-Stars'' has to. The ''Galaxy'' port just simply doesn't use Miis anymore. We don't need to say the Switch uses Miis, that's already on the [[Nintendo Switch]] article. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:11, November 18, 2020 (EST)
-::Actually, I think it's worth a brief mention (something like ''"Despite the Switch having Mii support, [...]"''), but nothing more than that. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 12:27, November 18, 2020 (EST)
-::The thing is that Galaxy is recompiled to run on the Switch but things are still emulated from the Wii. The Nvidia Shield version was fully emulated. Galaxy supported Miis on the original Wii release which can be played on both Wii and Wii U. The Switch still has Mii support as previously mentioned. It's still worth a mention as it is one of the differentiating factors between the original Wii version and the Switch version in 3D All-Stars.--[[Special:Contributions/174.91.77.211|174.91.77.211]] 12:40, November 18, 2020 (EST)
-:::It's still mentioned that you can't use Miis in 3D All-Stars. What isn't mentioned (and doesn't need to be, imo) is that the Switch as a console has Miis on it. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 12:46, November 18, 2020 (EST)
-::::I strongly disagree with you. This is still a factual piece of information worth noting. The point still stands that it is still worth briefly mentioning that the Switch still supports Miis because Galaxy used Miis in the original Wii release and the Switch version missing it is a big one despite the Switch's Mii support. I think Archivist Toadette's suggestion is the best way to go about and I agree with them.--[[Special:Contributions/174.91.77.211|174.91.77.211]] 13:26, November 18, 2020 (EST)
-:::::> ''It's still mentioned that you can't use Miis in 3D All-Stars.''
-:::::Doing a search on the ''3D All-Stars'' page and finding only the one instance of the word "Mii", being this dispute. But yeah, we don't need to say the Switch uses Miis, that's on the Switch's article. We only need to say the port doesn't utilize them. The point is still being made. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:17, November 18, 2020 (EST)
-::::::I am still on the side with Archivist Toadette that we can give it a brief mention according to their suggestion on how it can be implemented. We can simply reword it like this: "Despite the Switch having Mii support, it is no longer possible to use Miis as a save icon due to the game being based on the Chinese NVIDIA Shield TV version (which lacked Mii support entirely due to that system not using Miis) rather than the original Wii release." Notice that I modified it to include an explanation for why the game is lacking Mii support from the original Wii release while the Switch still uses Miis. The reason for it lacking Mii support is due to to it being based on the NVIDIA Shield TV version of the game rather than the original Wii release which obviously supported Miis. I think it is still a good way to go about it.--[[Special:Contributions/174.91.77.211|174.91.77.211]] 01:20, November 19, 2020 (EST)
-:::::::"The game seems to be based on the Nvidia Shield version released in China."
-:::::::It's already in the "Super Mario Galaxy" changes section. Further information is on the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' page, but I'm noticing it doesn't make note of the Miis being absent on the file select, or even noting the file select itself. It would go somewhere on there instead. Probably should be a Nvidia Shield changes section on there somewhere, idk. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 01:36, November 19, 2020 (EST)

-== MPDS Piracy ==
-The reason why I noted those video is because I find it noteworthy that other creators spread the hoax - though not every instance should obviously be there, it's still something which should be noted. In addition, the Tweet was one of the most popular non-YouTube hoax spreaders, thus making it, in my opinion, notable, though again not every internet post needs to be referenced. This is just an example of the hoax being spread outside of YouTube, and still gaining traction. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 12:40, December 22, 2020 (EST)
-:The rumors and memes and whatever are odd cases, as they can be easily spread by anyone. New thing comes out, people talk about it. I think it's best to just focus on what the creator has done and the impact it caused, rather than spotlighting specific other people that have no relation to the creator. Of course it's going to be spread beyond the initial posting site, that's how the internet works. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:31, December 22, 2020 (EST)

-Hi, I need to tell you something regarding 2 soundtrack pages for Mario Kart 64 is Mario Kart 64 Original Soundtrack and Mario Kart 64 Race Tracks. The soundtracks i've just mentioned have the same music tracks except that the Japanese one has a full audio track of sound effects and all the character voices clips got split into separate tracks. Mostly they are pretty much the same but with slightly different track listing and character voices between the two versions. Really both of these need to be combined into 1 page. [[User:MarioKartFan4863927|MarioKartFan4863927]] 14:37, February 10, 2021 (EST)

-==Donkey Kong Country Trilogy==
-Hi, I need to tell you something regarding the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy CD set page is that it's a set containing already released soundtrack CDs such as DK Jamz. So it doesn't make any sense to have a track list it would make sense to have a list of the CDs which came with it.[[User:MarioKartFan4863927|MarioKartFan4863927]] 11:58, February 11, 2021 (EST)

-You can see that i'm right about this. So is it possible that you could do a page for the soundtrack of Donkey Kong Country 3 whilst i fix the Donkey Kong Country Trilogy CD set page possibly tomorrow to replace the track list to a list of the soundtracks that came with Donkey Kong Country Trilogy such as DK Jamz (The soundtrack for Donkey Kong Country). [[User:MarioKartFan4863927|MarioKartFan4863927]] 21:10, February 11, 2021 (EST)
-:I think what you are looking for is [[List of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! media]], which does not exist. It's not the same thing as the CD, as it would be just a list of what songs are in the game rather than what songs are on the CD.

-==Mario Kart Wii Main Theme/Circuit Leitmotifs==
+Hey, Alex! I'm back! I got my password reset! {{User:YoshiFan08/sig}}
-Hi, I found a video showing all the leitmotifs for the Main and Circuit themes from Mario Kart Wii. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tOuwK93Tsk) [[User:MarioKartFan4863927|MarioKartFan4863927]] 13:57, April 2, 2021 (EST)
+:Hello! {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:25, August 9, 2021 (EDT)
-:Yeah, they do that a lot with main themes. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:17, April 2, 2021 (EDT)
-So should the Wii Luigi Circuit and Mario Circuit pages have the information updated to include that a part of the course's music was used for the Title, Demo Movie, Options and Award Ceremony themes and also for the Block Plaza battle course.

+== Underwater ==
-:Sure. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:29, April 2, 2021 (EDT)
+Hello! I'm planning to creating an article related to the underwater sections in Mario Kart courses. But I'm not sure that this article is required, as I'm afraid it might just get deleted. Can you give me some advice? {{User:WildWario/sig}} 06:05, August 31, 2021
+:I don't think we accept stuff like that. We don't cover specific track segments as separate articles. But we have [[anti-gravity]], so maybe it's worth making a talk page question about it on the main talk page or something? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:48, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
+::If I can suggest something, water/swimming is a common mechanic throughout the ''Mario'' franchise that I think might be worth making an article for it, like [[lava]] and [[poison (obstacle)|poison]]. Maybe a "Water" article can be created covering its appearances and effects in games, including the ''Mario Kart'' underwater sections. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:08, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
+:::Thanks for your opinions. I'll try something like that out. {{User:WildWario/sig}} 22:17, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
+::::[[Water]] is already something in Paper Mario, but yeah, a coverage like that would work. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:46, August 31, 2021 (EDT)

+==Theme from a Summer's Place reference in the music for Deep Bloober Sea==
-:Why? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:36, April 2, 2021 (EDT)
+Hi again, I've come back to tell you that the music for Deep Bloober Sea in Mario Party 3 has a reference to Theme from a Summer's Place like Shy Guy Beach and Cheep-Cheep Island from Mario Kart Super Circuit which i've heard through comments on YouTube. [[User:MarioKartFan4863927|MarioKartFan4863927]] 18:05, October 4, 2021 (EST)

-:Ain't that a total mood. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:38, April 2, 2021 (EDT)
-Well besides that, The reason why that i'm leaving you to do it is because i don't want to do the wrong thing when i'm editing the pages. [[User:MarioKartFan4863927|MarioKartFan4863927]] 18:42, April 2, 2021 (EST)

+I did a [[Talk:! Block#Make Cap Block an article|proposal for Cap Block]], but the result is "no consensus." In this situation, am I still free to create a Cap Block article? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 12:58, December 16, 2021 (EST)

-Okay, when editing anonymously when an account is blocked, just experiencing a ban evasion. (Sorry if it happens (in case). {{unsigned|98.149.118.171}}
+:Ye, I'm aware. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:43, December 26, 2021 (EST)
-:wut {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:56, April 4, 2021 (EDT)
+== 404 page ==
-Hey, again, that must have counted as a ban evasion.
-:Your IP address does not match that of another user's, so I don't know if you are or not. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:18, April 4, 2021 (EDT)
-Well, whatever works. And also, just remembering - just thought editing anonymously was fine when you said so. Just checking with you. Sorry about that (in case, once again).
+On your userpage, the "site that goes into more detail about [you], the games [you] have, etc." links to a 404 page "not found." [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 14:33, January 5, 2022 (EST)
-:If you have an account and it's not blocked, editing anonymously is fine. Though we do recommend having an account. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:36, April 4, 2021 (EDT)
+:Ye, I'm aware. Where it went ended up getting deleted, so I'm working on fixing that. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:34, January 5, 2022 (EST)
-Well, just had [[User:SuperMarioKid|SuperMarioKid]] blocked before, and just thought editing anonymously was fine (at least).
+== Spotlight ==
-Sorry in case (once again).
+I would like to ask, weren't all of the spotlight goals except for Super Rush completed last month? {{User:WildWario/sig}} 20:19, January 15, 2022 (EST)
-:Ah, okay. Well, yes, this would be ban evasion, and you are going to be blocked for it. If you want to continue editing, please submit an appeal through the gmail linked at [[MarioWiki:Admin noticeboard]]. However, because of your current ban evasion, the appeal will not be accepted. Feel free to do so after a year or so and you have more wiki experience elsewhere. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:53, April 4, 2021 (EDT)
+:It would look like they are. I guess they were finished after Yoshi876 posted an updated. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:48, January 18, 2022 (EST)
+::Due to this, will the paragraph of the Spotlight section be changed? {{User:WildWario/sig}} 07:56, January 20, 2022 (EST)
-== So, uh... ==
+==Ban==
+To explain in short before other users question the reason, Alex95 is banned due to a sitewide consensus on our Discord channel: he had been asking large sums of money from multiple community members, and while he likely not directly involved with the alleged fraud that may have happened, he was still heavily complicit in his situation and we are banning him for the general safety of the community. He has also admitted that he shared his account with a third party who may have involved with the alleged fraud. Due to that, his ranks have additionally been stripped. He is [https://www.marioboards.com/members/5162/ additionally banned] on the forum and on our Discord. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 01:20, April 3, 2022 (EDT)
-I'm glad that I can add the [[Mario Tennis]] trophy celebrations. But what sections should I put it in/between? {{User:YoshiPrower542/sig}} 15:23, April 6, 2021 (EDT)
+Would every NIWA wiki ban him as well?
-:Sorry for the late response, but it looks like you got it figured out. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:31, April 6, 2021 (EDT)
-== Closed captions ==
+{{User:Remembered Old Buddy/sig}}
-Apple Tv’s closed captions are the only ones with capitalization as Netflix's does not. I advise you to revert all of the edits as those are the official capitalizations and spelling, no matter how stupid they may be. Also, a model sheet for "The Ten Koopmandments" has it spelled "Koopa-Troopa".
+I think so. It’s the only logical choice. {{User:OhoJeeOnFire/sig}}
-[[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 13:38, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-:You're showing Apple TV's captions having no capitalization though??? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:39, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-::Most of the time they do have capitalizations, but sometimes they do not. All that I put is how it is in the captions. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 13:42, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-:::Captions vary by publisher, as you've noted yourself just now. They are unreliable, usually not maintained by the actual publishers of the content. And one instance of "Koopa-Troopa" would be noted on Koopa Troopa's page, but won't really fit elsewhere. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:43, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-:::There are only two closed captions, so the capitalizations do not vary. It says the captions are Canadian, just like WildBrain is, the publisher. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 13:46, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-::::As you said, they differ between Apple and Netflix, and are usually provided on any other service. Also, WildBrain may be the current host of the show, but it is not the publisher. That goes to DiC, I believe. WildBrain is also pretty unreliable, as the content is pretty low quality, even using information from outside sources, including us. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:50, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-:::::Apparently, Netflix DOES actually have capitalization, starting from "The Pied Koopa" onwards in production order. The spellings and capitalization are still the same between the two, though. That makes these the only official sources (aside from the writers themselves). [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 13:55, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-::::::Just because they currently host the show doesn't mean they had anything to do with producing it. And I guess Netflix themselves couldn't decide on their own reliability :P {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:57, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-:::::::These are the ONLY official sources though. We do want be official and true, and if we do not follow these captions then we are lying. (Even if we have to accept Mario throwing Koopa for Aruba). [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 14:01, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-::::::::I wouldn't even call them official. I don't know the full extent of how closed captioning works, but I know they're certainly not handled by anyone who actually worked on the cartoons. My official DVDs have captions, maybe I'll look them over one day once I have a disk drive I can use. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:03, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-:::::::::The are official! Everything official counts. Nobody can deny that. They did’nt plagiarize anything. Please stop denying revert the edits. 14:12, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-::::::::::You're gonna have to show me Apple, Netflix, and WildBrain got these names from Nintendo or DiC and not just made them up or took them from someone else. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:14, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-:::::::::::They didn’t take them from anywhere else (you can’t find Dealing Dalbert anywhere else) and it doesn’t matter if they made them up or not, it’s not like there is a rule on this wiki about that. I just want this argument to end. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 14:17, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-::::::::::::Well, [[Dealin' Delbert]] has been on this wiki since 2007. If you actually try to use "Dealing Dalbert" here, it sounds like more of a mishearing or self-correction. As far as a rule goes, there actually kind of is? Nothing really set in stone, but if the source material is questionable, such as what happened with the [[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]], we wait for more information. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:20, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-:::::::::::::::It really is not questionable and they do actually say "Dalbert". We already have all the information we need. If there is no rule, there these should be accepted, not contested. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 14:25, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-::::::::::::::::Just looked back at the show, on WildBrain itself even. He himself drops the G, being Dealin' Delbert. WildBrain has no closed captions for this episode, at least on YouTube, but the auto-generated ones use "DeLand Albert", which is uh no. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:32, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
-::::::::::::::::::Doesn’t matter what it sounds like, it’s not the official spelling. Also, YouRube does not have any closed captions. This shouldn’t even be a discussion, official things are official, and this is neither questionable nor plagiarized.
