:Play Nintendo's quizzes act as advertisements of sorts, sometimes for only one game, sometimes for multiple games at once. In the latter case, the predominance of a certain franchise in a quiz isn't a statement on the importance of that franchise compared to others that are also represented in the quiz. That is to say that just because a quiz has more Zelda questions than Mario questions, it doesn't make it a "Zelda" quiz any more than it is "Mario". In line with the wiki's current understanding of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, this means that it should be considered and covered as a whole. The amount of material in this quiz is small enough that it can be neatly presented on a single page (much like Smash subjects are) and it would feel weird ''not'' to have the entire quiz covered.<br>For the record, these thoughts have been partially reiterated from my response on [[Talk:Trophy Creator]], which also concerns a Play Nintendo activity.

Question

Block Super Mario World.png This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

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

It feels pointless. If it has a Mario question, it's easier to just cover the quiz than to worry about the edge cases. Spectrogram (talk) 16:06, May 19, 2023 (EDT)
