==Mario Press Conference==
==Non-conjectural names for ''Super Princess Peach'' enemies==
The '''Mario Press Conference'''<ref>KaizerKaiju 🦕 (February 8, 2011). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8sYvNtjXRI Mario Sports Mix Press Conference]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved April 28, 2023.</ref> is an interview featuring [[Mario]], who announces and promotes the game ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. The interview was part of a greater United States advertisement campaign for ''Mario Sports Mix'', centered around a fictional news program of the same name with two hosts: a male [[Mii]] named Miichael, and a female Mii named Miimi.<ref>vini64 (December 22, 2020). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHFyi3kj4jU Mario Sports Mix - Commercials collection]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved April 28, 2023.</ref> The following is a transcript of the conference.
All official Japanese names are sourced from ''[https://archive.org/details/superprincesspeachguide Super Princess Peach (Wonder Life Special: Nintendo Official Guidebook)]'', published by [[Shogakukan]].

'''Miimi:''' "Well, it's truly a rare and special occasion when you get the chance to sit down with a modern-day legend, and an even rarer one when he agrees to answer questions no-holds-barred! Our own Miichael got the chance to sit down with the elusive and certainly [[Mario|Super Mario]]! We take you to it now."
'''Note:''' As convenient as it would be, since these enemies do not show up in the in-game Glossary, they are ''not'' listed on pages 24-30 of the guidebook. To source the names of these enemies, I'd have to look through the guidebook entries for the levels in which they appear.

==Absolutely insane projects==
 
This list used to be on my main page, but I finally realized how [[File:Coo-Coo.jpg|30px]] [[Coo-Coo]] I'd have to be to actually finish these projects, so here they are for archival purposes. I've roughly sorted them by difficulty, from easiest to most challenging.
'''Mario:''' "A-Miichael! It's-a my pleasure. Hello, everybody! It's-a me, Mario! Wahoo! Hello! Hello! ''(Laughs) Haha!''"

'''Miichael:''' "So, let's get right to it - we hear you have a big announcement to make. Sir, the world is waiting with bated breath."
*Create tables for the rounds, items, and objects from ''[[Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman!]]''
 
*Find non-conjectural names for the enemies from ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'' by romanizing their Japanese names from [https://archive.org/details/superprincesspeachguide/ the game's official Shogakukan guidebook]
'''Mario:''' "Well, Miichael, first I'm-a want to say, thank you very much for everyone who made this-a moment-a possible. The [[Princess Peach|Princess-a Peach-a]], my right-hand man-a [[Luigi]], and-a the best advisor in-a the business, [[Toad]]. So, starting today, I'm-a super-duper excited to be taking my talents to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in my new game, ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. Hoo-hoo!"
*Create articles with what little information is known about [[:Template:Publications|obscure ''Super Mario'' manga]] using the [https://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/ai/scans/ "Scans & Bits" page from the Random Hoo Haas website]
 
*Take screenshots of all of the ''[[Minecraft]]'' character skins and upload them to the wiki
'''Miichael:''' "Outstanding! And what kind of action can we expect from the new game?"
*Create articles for all remaining levels in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''
 
*Create articles for [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong#Card e+|Card e+]] levels in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''
'''Mario:''' "Well, I'm-a tell-a [[Nintendo]], we need to make-a this game super-duper! They said, ''"(Deep voice) uh, okey-dokey, uh, how about-a two sports?"'' I'm-a said, "Nah", so they said, ''"(Deep voice) uh, how about-a three?"'' so I said, "That's okay, but, have you thought about-a four sport-ses, featuring over-the-top-a super-duper moves, with none other than me, Mario?" Hoo-hoo!"

*Find enough information to create articles for events in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Arcade Edition]]''
'''Miichael:''' "Absolutely absurd. You are a true innovative visionary. So, how, then, did this amazing game with four sports and all these stars come together?"
*Find enough information to create articles for events in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 - Arcade Edition]]''
 
*Create articles for remaining landmarks and items in ''[[Mario is Missing!]]''
'''Mario:''' "Ah, well, the hardest-a part was to get all of these all-stars on-a-board-a. Some, they were easy. Toad, he's always-a hanging around giving me advice. And-a Luigi, well, he's-a my bro. He's got nothing to do, and he was up for it. Then, I saved the Princess-a Peach-a, and-a [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]], and I got-a [[Bowser]] to sign up while I was-a there. [[Wario]], uh, he was-a hard because-a, he's-a cuckoo crazy, but once I'm-a mention it was not just-a volleyball, basketball, and-a hockey, but also the dodge-a-ball-a, ''(Laughs) haha!'' He was all-a set-a. In fact, I think he said, ''(Imitating Wario) "I'll do it. Have a rotten day! (Raspberries) Thbbbbpht."'' Something like-a that-a."

'''Miichael:''' "And so there was ''Mario Sports Mix''. Brilliant. Well, we've had an absolute rash of questions from Mushroom Kingdom superfans, eagerly awaiting your answers! Mind taking a few now?"
 
'''Mario:''' "Woo-hoo! Fire away! I'm-a ready for anything!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Jackson from {{wp|Mansburg}} asks: 'Is it hard balancing your sports training with princess-saving?'"
 
'''Mario:''' "''(Laughs) Hahaha!'' Well, I got-a good news! Princess-a Peach-a, ''(Sighs) aaahh,'' she hasn't been captured for a while. It's our-a longest-a streak yet-a, so, Mario's had more time to focus on-a saving the spikes-a and-a goals in hockey. ''(Laughs) Ha-ha!''"
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Chuckles)'' I have to imagine princess-saving is quite a workout, though, too."
 
'''Mario:''' "Oh, yeah! It's a great year-round workout! Mario highly recommends it. Mm-hmm!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "I'll have to give it a dabble. MacGregMan1 {{wp|Twitter|tweets}}: 'We've seen you on the tennis and basketball courts, the diamond and even the race track. Which of these new sports excites you the most?'"
 
'''Mario:''' "Hmmm, that's a good-a question. It has to be dodge-a-ball! I've always been a real fire-a-baller, with a shell or even the [[fireball]]s, ''(Laughs) heh-heh'', so I knew I would be a natural. But-a, I've noticed some of my friend-ses are taking-a shots at-a me! Heart-a shots from-a Princess-a Peach-a, rainbow throws from my old-a pal [[Yoshi]], and even a few vacuum whizzers sent at me by my ''fratello'', Luigi! Whoa!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Interesting to hear that. Don't know if you read this, but, Luigi's been quoted as saying, 'I'm-a tired of-a being player two. It's-a my time to shine!' Reaction?"
 
'''Mario:''' "Ah, Luigi. ''(Laughs) Ha-ha!'' He was probably taken, uh, out of-a context-a. He loves-a being-a my sidekick. ''(Laughs) Heeheehee!''"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Sounds green with envy, huh? ''(Chuckles)'' Get it, he- he wears green?"
 
'''Mario:''' "Gee, that's funny."
 
'''Miichael:''' "Moving on! Susie Q. of {{wp|Farmsdale}} wrote: 'We hear some shocking rumors that you and your arch-nemesis, Bowser, are even teaming up from time to time. Care to comment on these salacious allegations?'"
 
'''Mario:''' "Oh, yeah. It's-a true."
 
'''Miichael:''' ''(Gasps)''
 
'''Mario:''' "Well, you know what they say: Keep-a you friends-a close and you enemies-a closer! But-a, they also say, if-a you enemy is a gigantic-a spiky creature, who breathes-a the fire, keep him-a super-duper close! ''(Laughs) Ha-ha!''"
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Laughs) Ha-ha-ha!'' Well played, sir, well played, indeed. In the new game, people can get their [[Mii]]s into the action and play against you. How have you fared against this new competition?"
 
'''Mario:''' "Well, they don't-a call me Super Mario for nothing! Usually, I'm-a the winner! ''(Laughs) Heehee!''"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Well, funny you should mention that. You took me out for a friendly hoops match yesterday, and I think we have a clip."
 
''(Gameplay of Mario Sports Mix is shown. Miichael and Wario, on the blue team, are playing basketball on [[DK Dock]] against Mario and Yoshi, on the red team. Mario is dribbling the basketball. He jumps towards the basket and is about to make a dunk, but Miichael uses a Jump Attack to knock Mario away. This causes him to drop the basketball, leaving Wario to grab the ball instead.)''
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Laughs) Haha!'' Wowzers! Love me some Mii!"
 
'''Mario:''' "''(Grumbles)''"
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Laughs) Ha-ha-ha-ha, hahahaha!''"
 
'''Mario:''' "Yeah. Anyways..."
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Sighs) Ahhh... '' So, this game features a wide cast of characters, including some of your best buds and fiercest foes. Talk about going head-to-head with them."
 
'''Mario:''' "Well, you know how it is. You always want to play with the best-a, and these guys gave me the best-a challenge.  Mama mia! I get a little tired time and time again, one-upping the competition. Just the other day, I was-a talking with-a Donkey Kong-a, and he said: ''(Imitating Donkey Kong) Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh!''"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Well put. I think we can all relate. By the way, I've noticed you admiring my mustache."
 
'''Mario:'''  "''(Confused) Ehh...'' I was?"
 
'''Miichael:''' "You were. What do you think?"
 
'''Mario:''' "''(Winces)'' It's okay. Could be bigger!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Hmm. I'll have to talk to makeup. Stephanie from {{wp|Redwood City}} has this to say: '[[Bananas]], [[Bob-Omb]]s, [[Red Shell]]s and more: there's quite a few fascinating [[List of items|items]] at your disposal in the four sports. Any favorites?'"
 
'''Mario:''' "Well-a, Princess Stephanie... ''(Laughs) Haha!'' I gotta say, after all of my adventures, it's nice to be on the other end of the Bob-Omb-a once in a while! ''(Laughs) Heeheehee!''"
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Exclaims) Boom-boom-boom, ha-ha!'' I like it. You've knocked countless flying [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s from the air, stomped the daylights out of millions of [[Goomba]]s, [[Super Mario Galaxy|soared the galaxy]] ([[Super Mario Galaxy 2|twice]]), [[Mario Kart (series)|raced]] across Mushroom Kingdom, and now have your own multi-sport blockbuster. What do you consider your greatest achievement?"
 
'''Mario:''' "Well, I would have to say, that on all of these adventures-a, it's-a not about the [[Star]]s you collect-a, the trophies you win-a, the amount of [[Mushroom]]s you consume-a, or even the Yoshis you ride-a. It really, at the end of the day, is all about-a the friend-ses you make-a, the lives-a you touch-a, eh-"
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Sobs, holds tissues to his eyes)'' Beautiful."
 
'''Mario:''' "Hmm."
 
'''Miichael:''' ''(Blows nose; a confetti sound plays)''
 
'''Mario:'''  "But-a, I'm-a also really like-a slammin'-JAMMIN' on-a Bowser in this game! ''(Exclaims) Oh-ho!''"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Fascinating. Truly fascinating. Burtie from {{wp|Marionville, Missouri|Marionville}} wonders: 'Which of the characters is most ready to be a breakout star?'"
 
'''Mario:''' "Well, I'm-a think-a my old friend Yoshi is-a playing at a super high level!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Got the Mario off his back?"
 
'''Mario:''' "''(Laughs) Ha ha ha!'' Hey, he could be!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "You might say he's chewing up and spitting out the competition! ''(Laughs) Heh-heh.''"
 
'''Mario:''' "''(Groans awkwardly) Mmmmm...'' yeah, you might-eh..."
 
'''Miichael:''' "If we might switch gears, Brian from {{wp|Cleveland}} asks: 'What is your idea of perfect happiness?'"
 
'''Mario:''' "Well, this might-a sound-a kinda strange, Miichael, but uh,  I'm-a have a vision of this-a beautiful-a [[? Block|Question Mark-a Box-a]], and I punch it, and a fantastic [[1-Up Mushroom|1-Up-a Mushroom]] pops-a out-a... I hit it again! And another! And again! And again! And again! And again! ''(Exclaims) Oh-ho!'' I can go on saving the princess forever! ''(Laughs) Heehee!''""
 
'''Miichael:''' "A true wonder. We should all be so lucky. Libby P. tweets: 'So let's talk uniform. What kind of uniform will we see you in?'"
 
'''Mario:''' "Well, you know Mario. I'm-a going with my traditional blue overalls, of course! ''(Exclaims) Hoo-hoo!'' Looking good!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Ahh, I see. I had no idea they were such high-performance gear."
 
'''Mario:''' "Oh-yeah! I'm-a would recommend them to any elite athlete-a! They're great for running, jumping, throwing the fireballs, and-a dominating! ''(Exclaims) Hoo hoo!''"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Let's talk about this highlight that is sweeping the web."
 
'''Mario:''' "''(Exclaims) Ooh!'' My monster fire slam?"
 
'''Miichael:''' "I think we have a clip. Do, uh- do we- do we have a clip? We do. Alright, let's take a peek."
 
(A clip of Mario performing his [[Mario Sports Mix#All-around characters|special shot]] from the opening of ''Mario Sports Mix'' plays.)
 
'''Miichael:''' ''(Stunned)''
 
'''Mario:''' "Ehh... You okay?"
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Gasps)'' Great Goomba! That was... fantabulous!"
 
'''Mario:'''  "...Ah."
 
'''Miichael:''' "Alright. So, word is there are some pretty unbelievable new arenas to test your skills. Any standouts?"
 
'''Mario:''' "Hmm... Well, I have to say, the [[Western Junction]] hockey rink is a real-a doozy!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Imitating a cowboy) Yeeeeee-ha!''"
 
'''Mario:''' "Yeah, yeah, it's a lot like a normal rink-a, except-a this one has a choo-choo come-a screaming down the center!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "''(Imitating a train) Toot toot!'' Aaaaamazing!"
 
(The "[[:File:Hurry_up_SMB.oga|Hurry Up]]" jingle from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' plays.)
 
'''Miichael:''' "Well, it sounds like we're running short on time, so we'll leave you with this one last question. We've talked at length about your exciting new ''Mario Sports Mix'' game. We've laughed, we've cried..."
 
'''Mario:''' "''(Confused) Ehh...'' we cried?"
 
'''Miichael:''' "Well, I cried. But given just two words, how would you capture the pure and infinite joys of your new sports offering?"
 
'''Mario:''' "Hmm. How about-a: Mama mia! Number one! Here we go! Welcome to my new game! Ha ha! All right! You number one! The best! Here we go! Wahoooooo!"
 
'''Miichael:''' "A true wordsmith, and a hero to us all. Thanks for joining us."
 
'''Mario:''' "Oh yeah. Thank you very much for playing my game. See you there. ''(Exclaims) Hee-hee!''"
 
'''Miimi:''' "Well, there you have it! A truly historical announcement, sure to shake Mushroom Kingdom to its core. The ''Mario Sports Mix'' era is upon us! Thanks for tuning in!"

Note: As convenient as it would be, since these enemies do not show up in the in-game Glossary, they are not listed on pages 24-30 of the guidebook. To source the names of these enemies, I'd have to look through the guidebook entries for the levels in which they appear.

Absolutely insane projects

This list used to be on my main page, but I finally realized how Artwork of Coo-Coo from Virtual Boy Wario Land. Coo-Coo I'd have to be to actually finish these projects, so here they are for archival purposes. I've roughly sorted them by difficulty, from easiest to most challenging.
