Plans

1. Add missing recipes (and maybe rewrite some of the body paragraphs of recipe pages)

2. Double check Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch) bestiary stats

3. Add NIOL citations to TTYD pages (and then choose the next game to focus on with that)

4. Go in-depth about Concordians on the Concordia page (catalogue body types, colors, clothing - clothing specifically differs depending on island but some design elements are shared between more than one island so worth a mention on the Concordia page too)

5. Get back into Super Mario-kun coverage (images, character appearances)

Brothership side quest gossip

Coming Home

• Yellow Hint Lady: "Did you hear, dear?"
• Yellow Hint Lady: "Looks like Willma's son/daughter is coming to Shipshape."
• Red Hint Lady: ""Coming," nothing, look over there!"
• Yellow Hint Lady: "Oh my! Maybe they'll live together again, mother and son/daughter under the same roof! Wouldn't that be nice? I think so, anyway."
• Red Hint Lady: "Well, I hear the child hasn't even gone to visit her at home yet."
• Yellow Hint Lady: "Is that so?"
• Yellow Hint Lady: "Oh dear. Well, I suppose Willma can be a little bit intimidating."
• Blue Hint Lady: "Why, didn't she silence a whole island with that thunderous 'tude of hers?"
• All: "Ah, we go too far! Ohohohohohoho!"

• Yellow Hint Lady: "Do you think Willma and her child have reconnected?"
• Red Hint Lady: "Have they seen each other yet?"
• Blue Hint Lady: "Ohhh, that's worrying..."

An Invitation to the Spa

There might be a first part to this...? I'm confused...

• Yellow Hint Lady: "Hon... Isn't your husband toiling away on Raynforst? How is he doing?"
• Red Hint Lady: "Toiling, that I can't say! But I bet he's in over his head over on Raynforst. My husband used to be a big deal in the city but couldn't get there when the land broke up. He hasn't known what to do for the longest time. I had to shove him out the door!"
• Blue Hint Lady: "Ah! So he finally found his calling on Raynforst! Wonderful!"
• Red Hint Lady: "I've said it before, and I'll say it again. My husband is great at working hard. Or hardly working!"
• All: "Oh goodness! Ohohohohoho!"

Red Hint Lady: "I hope my husband is doing well working on Raynforst Island..."

Spiralia's New Creation

• Yellow Hint Lady: "Say... Did you change your hairstyle recently, dear?"
• Red Hint Lady: "Oh my. Is it that obvious? You know Spiralia from Twistee? I've started using her hair wax!"
• Blue Hint Lady: "Good for you! I love her shop."
• Red Hint Lady: "I hear she's started a new business out of that shop...and she wants people to come test it out."
• Yellow Hint Lady: "Really? About time! That ol' hairstyling shack of hers could USE more style!"
• All: "Oh my stars! Ohohohoho!"

Yellow Hint Lady: "I'm very intrigued by whatever Spiralia's new business is!"

Investigating the Abductions!

• Yellow Hint Lady: "Oh, sweeties, you know, I just can't stand it!"
• Red Hint Lady: "What's wrong, dear?"
• Yellow Hint Lady: "It's those strange birds flying around!"
• Blue Hint Lady: "They give me the chills. And there are more and more of them!"
• Red Hint Lady: "I saw one swoop down and snatch up someone at Rumbla Island."
• Yellow Hint Lady: "Really? How horrible!"
• Red Hint Lady: "They'll come for the three of us. I'm surprised they haven't yet..."
• Blue Hint Lady: "Me too! Look at us! We're TASTY!"
• All: "We are, aren't we? Ohohohoho!"

A Mother's Worries

• Yellow Hint Lady: "Ladies! Have you been to that new shop?"
• Red Hint Lady: "That shop that Willma's son/daughter opened? That kid's a hard worker."
• Blue Hint Lady: "You can get something made lickety-split, as long as you bring the materials."
• Yellow Hint Lady: "Good head on that kid. I'm really impressed."
• Red Hint Lady: "But you know... That poor child seems kind of down lately."
• Yellow Hint Lady: "Really? With that shop such a success? How sad..."
• Red Hint Lady: "Maybe that's the problem. The shop's too busy for any time off to see ol' mom. That kid must miss Willma terribly. And a mother always misses her child!"
• Blue Hint Lady: "Ah, it hurts my old heart to hear it. Such a shame. My kid can't WAIT to break away and live away from this ol' mom."
• Red Hint Lady: "Mine too. But then we'll finally get to live our own lives!"
• All: "Ohohohoho! Can't wait!"

Parasite Steve (yes, Porplemontage reference)

(Draft / notes for a possible Category:Parasites proposal)

Something you might not know about me is that I'm a biology major in college. (Stuff about how the name "parasite" for this category that's just about HP mechanics is confusing, also that I'm not going to use the purely accurate biological definition of parasite here, but rather what people commonly consider them to be - there's not going to be scientific accuracy in a series like this)

"Parasitic creatures in the Super Mario franchise. They often attach themselves to other creatures, typically to attack or hinder abilities. They may also use this to replenish their own health." (key words: "often" and "may". It's not even exclusively about that?)

The two subcategories, Category:Vampires and Category:Viruses are clearly more based on the biological / typical definition of "parasite" and not the gameplay one used for the main category.

Voting options:

• Delete category
• Rename category
• Oppose
• (then I also need stuff about what to do with the subcategories, maybe those can stay as their own main categories?)

Definition of "parasite" from Merriam-Webster: "an organism living in, on, or with another organism in order to obtain nutrients, grow, or multiply often in a state that directly or indirectly harms the host"; some definitions include bacteria and viruses while others don't

Even if something is called a parasite, we make the distinction between "mind control" and "brainwash" here, even if a game's script says otherwise (like Fuzzies are explicitly called "parasites" but are they really?)

BLOF on Discord: "Mosquitos aren't parasites despite them taking our blood" - latching onto someone for an attack for a few seconds is different than living on them

Also Discord stuff, calling these leeching moves

Discord doesn't think a scientific parasites category is needed (like, actual parasites not just HP suckers), don't overcomplicate by making it a voting option
