Director’s Notes
Hello 'Shroom readers! This is Issue 103, which is filled with to the brim with Halloween goodies. Now, I hear you ask "How can Pipe Plaza be scary?" Of course we can't do anything themed really, but what we can do is put adjectives in front of everything.
So yes, welcome to Pipe Plaza, the home of spooky stats, terrifying tables and creepy colours.
Last month we saw the triumphant debut of Banjo 'N' Gutseh's Late-Night Actually Legit Interviews, sadly, due to some real life issues it won't be present in this issue. I'm sure you all join me in wishing things are swiftly sorted out for Banjo. This month we also see the triumphant return of New Articles, with Viper26 (our current Monthly Report writer) now writing it.

Monthly Report
Happy Fall/Spring, readers, welcome to Zombie Island today's issue of the Monthly Report!! I have only one thing to say for today's report, and that's happy birthday to me! My birthday is on the 21st of this month, so that'll be on the Birthday Wishes section later on.

Credit goes to Stooben Rooben (talk), Super Mario Bros. (talk), and Paper Yoshi (talk) for the table coding (I based this on Stooben's coding, which was later modified by SMB, and Paper Yoshi when they wrote this section.).

New Articles
Alright 'Shroom readers, I'm in charge of New Articles now. This section will be similar to my Monthly Report section, which I'm still obviously doing. So get used to my tables. The articles that I'll feature come from when the last 'Shroom issue came out to when I send this section in. Enjoy the article!
Tip of the Month
When starting an editing project, consider how big it's going to be. Are you filling in a lot of information on a game? Perhaps you've just picked up a brand new game and are the first one to be filling in information for it. Or you're creating a lot of pages of information at once that all link back to a single page, and it might take you a few weeks to finish it. When you're working on a project as big as this, use the {{construction}} template on your pages. This will let readers know that this is a project that's currently being worked on, and that it might look a little sloppy for now.

Thread of the Month
September's Thread of the Month is Nabber's Undertale (plz click this topic <3), made about a recent game, created by Toby Fox, which has gained a large amount of popularity on the forum. As someone who has played part of the demo, I can personally say this: "its good". And surely no positive review can be worth half as much as The 'Shroom's Forum Update Thread of the Month Award. Right?
Speaking of positive reviews, a close runner-up was SiFi's Scottish Mario: Origin, providing insight on one of the deepest and most important characters in the entirety of the Mario series. Although only the prologue and first chapter have been released, Scottish Mario: Origin has been entertaining so far and it'll be interesting to see where it goes next.
Quotes
"Elections are forbidden." - Porplemontage on democracy.
"best dad" - MST3K's description of Bowser.
"almost forgot to shitpost today" - Nysic.
"my favorite thing that's ever been said on the topic of fonts is "Kitschy, cheap and vile, Papyrus has no place in your designs.", because it's hilarious to me to imagine someone getting this worked up about fonts, particularly when their argument boils down to "it's objectively bad because i personally find it aesthetically displeasing"" - 2257.
"Det är Tors dag idag. Därmed måste vi hylla Tor, en av de bättre asagudarna. Om vi inte gör det så kommer han att inkludera åskmolnet från Funky Motorcykel Wii i alla framtida Mario Kart spel." - Pi.
Mafia
Nothing happened last month in terms of Mafia. Like, literally nothing. There's not even any current games. The forum is dead. And you killed it.
Thanks for reading.
Birthday Wishes

Hello, readers! I'm your Spotlight manager and Pipe Plaza Director, Yoshi876. Welcome to Retro Feature, a section in which I delve deep into the archives to bring you the best blasts from the past. This time I bring you a section from Dark Lakitu 789 (talk)!
Dark Lakitu 789 joined the MarioWiki on 26th April 2007 and made his 'Shroom debut during Issue XIX (Sep. 2008), writing Fangamers Report, a section that he would go on to write a further six times. This would be the only section that he would write and he would write it until he left The 'Shroom in Issue XXV (Apr. 2009). Over the course of his writing, Dark Lakitu 789 gave reviews on Mario Forever, Super Mario: Blue Twilight DX, Super Mario Flash, Super Mario World Flash, Super Mario Bros. Revenge of Bowser, a demo of a game similar to Paper Mario and Paper Mario World.
However, you’re not here to learn about the history of Dark Lakitu 789, you’re here to a view a classic section from issues gone by, so without further ado here is Dark Lakitu 789's Fangamers Report from Issue XIX.
Mario Forever has all the basic enemies,and items. It also has a lot of features such as one mini game A few secret levels and stuff like that. The game has worlds called "Hardcore Worlds"The is about four Hard core worlds. There is another world that the world map call "The lost map.It's the game,s equivalent of the The Lost Levels.The is a secret level called Goomba party,sound easy? WRONG! Goomba's are everywhere! Goombas fall out out of the sky, making it hard to jump with out getting hit. The last level I'll want to talk about is Funny Tanks. The level is just like world 8 of SMB3 but harder. The game has two new power ups. One of theme is a beet.The beet lets Mario throw beets. The other other one is a green item (forgot what's it's call). Any way it makes Mario run faster. The game has a few "new enemies".The enemies are just upgrade of the Venus Fire Trap and Cheep-cheep. If you download the game you'll get anther program I believe it's called Mario fixer.Mario fixer is a level editor. It will give you all the enemies and items.The is problems with Mario fixer.One is you can't make long levels.Also if you get a game over in your level you'll have to restart Mario fixer. Mario forever is a good game 7/10(from 1 to 10). That's all I have to say. Just don't get this game confuse with the SMB1 hack. Bye. |
