I still had a point. People say, "focus on the good parts of life and you'll be happy", but that glaring warning is really crawling onto me. My first completely normal string of conversations Wario tries to take over my talk page. I welcome him with apple pie and jasmine tea.

Re:Room 1-5+

The article looks fine to me, it's similar to how I wrote the Mario vs. Donkey Kong levels. Level articles are a strange case on the wiki, they're the exception to the "no strategy" rule. Though you could also just point out the objective and call it good, but that's boring :P I think how it is now is good, and you've been doing a great job with these :) 11:03, 8 February 2019 (EST)

You're welcome, and I'm sure they would! Though most people who visit this site aren't usually expecting walkthroughs, they're good to have for those that are. I prefer text guides/player's guides to video walkthroughs myself. Easier to just pick up where you left off and you can progress at your own pace. 11:35, 8 February 2019 (EST)

Yeah, when I write level pages, I keep things to the intended path (or try to, anyway). Multiple paths and strategies is something I think best works on Strategy Wiki. 12:39, 8 February 2019 (EST)

Re:Conjecture

Joke edits (possibly outside April Fools' Day) are still, by definition, vandalism. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:04, 22 February 2019 (EST)

Well, you took too long. And that's still not really acceptable, even as a joke. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:16, 22 February 2019 (EST)

One last thing: I actually did wait to see if you'd revert it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:27, 22 February 2019 (EST)

It was a simple joke at Bye Guy's own expense that was meant to be quickly reverted and didn't actually do any major damage to the article (such as blanking or inappropriateness). I'm not regarding this as vandalism, but that said, joke edits should stay off of the mainspace articles. 19:34, 22 February 2019 (EST)

Alright, understood. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 19:38, 22 February 2019 (EST)

Look, I'm not trying to throw you under the bus or anything here, you seem to be interpreting my tone as being much harsher than it is intended to be communicated as. I personally don't see it as vandalism, but from a most literal perspective, it technically is, and want to caution you against that sort of thing lest you go down a slippery slope. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:04, 22 February 2019 (EST)

It's alright now, I understand. My apologies for acting up. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 20:16, 22 February 2019 (EST)

Re: Tipping Stars

I can't extract the Tipping Stars backgrounds as they have multiple layers. But the game itself does have some small prerenders of the backgrounds, so here are those in PNG format. --Hiccup (talk) 09:24, 26 February 2019 (EST)

Future Tense

Glad to see I'm not the only person here who hates that. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:22, 28 February 2019 (EST)

Fluding

Thanks for helping with stuff it is just like this on the recent changes

Maskass

IKR? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:02, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

The Mighty Maskass! Kinda sounds like a Cyanide & Happiness character. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 13:09, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

Also, look at Fat Wario's German name. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 13:16, April 12, 2019 (EDT)

"pretty sure they also appear in new island. i'll look into it"

Special:Diff/2640045 No, they don't. I played the whole game (and watched videos for bonus leels), and can confirm you that they don't. -- FanOfYoshi at 12:53, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

Then I must confuse them for something else. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 15:53, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

Personal images

Two files (File:Untitled-2.png and File:SuperRadioPic.png) are marked as your personal images, but you don't appear to be using them. Checking to see if you plan to use them or want to use them again. 13:29, April 17, 2019 (EDT)

You should add the second image to your userpage then, to prevent it from showing up as unused. 13:43, April 17, 2019 (EDT)

Okay, that's corrected. But the image still has to be used. 14:01, April 17, 2019 (EDT)

Snowflakes

"The player" refers to how the player is playing as the characters, and it is not as fluffy as saying "the Kongs" (Saying "the Kongs" is still not that fluffy, but it is like saying something like "Mario starts on a small platform" instead of saying "the player starts on a small platform" when not on a character page where stating the character's name is nessecary) As for the last sentence, it has to be said as plainly as possible with the least amount of guide-like writing as possible. You do not even have to run to the Slot Machine Barrel anyways. Doomhiker (talk) 19:32, May 10, 2019 (EDT)

Fair, but you have not answered about the last sentence on the page (The part about running). Doomhiker (talk) 19:47, May 10, 2019 (EDT)

You could say "go to" instead. Doomhiker (talk) 19:58, May 10, 2019 (EDT)

Look at the end of this video. The uploader runs, rolls, uses Dixie Kong's Helicopter Spin, jumps, and walks slowly. The current wording makes it seem like running is the only way to the goal. Doomhiker (talk) 20:07, May 10, 2019 (EDT)

Clowns "and Jesters"

I would consider "Jesters" to be within the nebulous definition of "clown," much like harlequins and mimes. Therefore, I believe it should just be moved to "Category: Clowns." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:10, May 11, 2019 (EDT)

Your gripe about level articles on the wiki

I'm trying to figure out the message in your gripe about level articles on the wiki. Is it griping about about level articles in general, or just their quality here on the wiki? (If it's their quality on the wiki, then I agree.) Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 11:09, May 18, 2019 (EDT)

Mario-related media proposal

Hi, I was just wondering if you'd like a hand implementing your proposal? There's quite a lot to go through, so I'd be happy to help, I just wanted to check first so that I don't edit-snipe you. :) BBQ Turtle (talk) 07:37, May 19, 2019 (EDT)

I could start going through the Super Smash Bros. characters if you'd like? BBQ Turtle (talk) 07:42, May 19, 2019 (EDT)
