I noticed only two of the seven questions on this quiz are of a Mario game but then there is a similar quiz which five of the six questions are of a mario game. do any of you think we can establish some sort of precedent on these pages to better focus on only the mario questions? like if there were three zelda questions but only two mario questions, one splatoon question, and one kirby question then such a page would be better suited to a zelda wiki
