Gallery talk:Sponsors in the Mario Kart series

In case someone asks, this is my source for the Japanese logos in MK64. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:13, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

Get Rid

of these images. There's no way we're going to be able to obtain most of the images for these sponsors. Having any would just make it look bad. Fixitup

Conjecture

Should the {{conjecture}} template be put up on this page? I don't believe in any Mario Kart games it refers to these names as "sponsors". YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Or we move it to "List of Mario Kart Advertisment Signs". - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:08, 11 November 2009 (EST)

I support that. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Well, if theya re there its cause they are sponsors, but Cobold's idea doesnt seem bad ™ Unlike other ideas...

Isn't it spelled "advertisement" though? :P Time Questions 17:27, 11 November 2009 (EST)

Adding MK7 ad signs

Hey, y'all. I'm new here, and I figured I'd contribute by adding all of the advertisement signs found in Mario Kart 7. Problem is I'm not sure if some I've found are really advertisements... then again, some of the ones on here aren't exactly ads either. I think we should change the wording of "advertising" around somehow. --Schmerpin 18:17, 19 May 2012 (EDT)

What is the point?

What is the point of this article?--

There are some cameos in these sponsors, not to mention spoofs. That should be enough to warrant this article being here.

Organize images with a gallery format

Template:SettledTPP REORGANIZE 7-0

A table is just unnecessary to this page, it takes up so much space for no reason and mashes everything together. Using a gallery format, like the one on my draft page, we can sort out the images and trivia by game, it's easier to look through in my opinion.

Support

1. MegaKoopa (talk) My proposal.
2. Baby Luigi (talk) Editing the table to add sponsors is a nightmare in itself so I support reformatting this page by game it appears in. Makes it much more organized and light years easier to edit it.
3. Tails777 (talk) Per proposal. The draft looks way better than what it is now. Makes things way easier.
4. Mario (talk) Less empty space as well.
5. Ghost Jam (talk) per proposal.
6. Yoshi876 (talk) Per all.
7. Koopakoolklub (talk) It's much neater and we can categorize them by game. Per Baby Luigi.

Comments

If this meant to make it a gallery namespace page, or just reformatting it like in your draft but leaving it with its current mainspace designation? - Walkazo 17:07, 18 April 2014 (EDT)

I don't know, It will won't do with Template:Fakelink, what about splitting the list into the gallery of each game.--

I don't think he wants to turn this into a gallery mainspace. He wants to reformat the page so it's easier to edit and much more organized and frankly I strongly agree with him. It's always a hassle to edit this page whenever a new sponsor is found, especially in Arcade games. Making galleries, very much like this and this is the absolute best way to go. Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:31, 18 April 2014 (EDT)

I only want to change the format. I changed the name of the proposal to make this clearer. MegaKoopa (talk) 19:47, 18 April 2014 (EDT)

Why not putting sponsors for every game in it's gallery, and the trivia in the article itself? With out this whole list.--

Also, just remove the caption underneath the images unless the images are blurry, since they're not needed for most literate people. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 12:25, 19 April 2014 (EDT)

Organize by game?

I think it would be neater if it was organized by game instead of alphabetically. thoughts?

Sure thing. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:37, 7 May 2014 (EDT)

"Sponsor" is a better name.

These aren't necessarily advertisements, since most of these aren't pitches for people to buy a product. You wouldn't call these company logos "advertisements", would you? On a car, on a billboard, whatever this is, these are more likely to be fictional sponsors than advertisement signs, so it should be moved to List of sponsors in the Mario Kart series. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 18:51, 8 May 2014 (EDT)

A logo isn't an ad, no, but putting a logo on a race track/in a stadium/etc. is clearly advertising the company. Hence, an advertisement.--Vommack (talk) 19:02, 8 May 2014 (EDT)

When a company is sponsoring a race, they will put their logo on a lot of things, usually on cars. It can be considered a form of marketing and advertising, but it isn't necessarily an "advertisement". The logo on a car, the logo on a billboard, they're still sponsor logos. The closest thing to an advertisement we have is Green Fuel, but everything is just fictional corporate logos and a little motto. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:30, 8 May 2014 (EDT)

"List of Mario Kart Sponsors" was the original name of the page and Ithink it's much better since, well, that's what they are. --Glowsquid (talk) 19:07, 8 May 2014 (EDT)

It was, and I have no idea why it was moved to "advertisments"[sic]. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:30, 8 May 2014 (EDT)

Other sponsors in Mario Kart 8?

We also need to add "!-UP Mushroom Car Insurance Group." which can be seen in Super Bell Subway. I'ts one of the first signs on the right side-wall at the beginning of the race.

MKDS sponsors

The images showing MKDS sponsors are simply screenshots of the karts driving past the sponsors. Shoudn't we change it to being sprite or texture rips? It was done with every other game. MarioKid (Talk) 16:50, 29 April 2016 (EDT)
