To merge or not to merge[edit]

I'm for it. The article's purpose is basically for describing a glitch, and the relevant information would really be better over on the glitch page. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

That's why I added the template in the first place. A good question: who is going to do the merging? Mario (Santa)'s map icon from Mario Kart Tour Mario-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 23:54, 23 August 2014 (EDT)
Indeed, let's merge this article with Super Mario 64's glitches.Arnold232 (talk) 15:32, 15 September 2014 (EDT)

Point?[edit]

See previous discussion above. When we cover game mechanics, it's usually mechanics that are specific to the Mario franchise, such as Action Commands, or things that can be encountered through normal gameplay, like Out of Bounds. This seems to follow the same set-up as the Loading zone (discussion on that here) page that was created and ultimately deleted some time ago; it's here to describe how certain glitches work.
