Talk:Super Mario Strikers

Super Team

We'd need an image to represent the Super Team in the table. I know there's no official artwork for them, but we should at least have a screenshot which shows a Super Team robot (without background or site logo like on their page). - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:46, 22 August 2007 (EDT)

Why is this not under "Super Mario Strikers"?

This is the title of the American and Japanese version...two versions. While "Mario Smash Football" is the name of one version of the game. It should be under the name it was originally released as. Not the name it has in one country. -Sketch 15:23, 27 February 2009 (EST)

According to our rules, we use the first English title (see here for more details), and "Mario Smash Football" was the first name used. There was a proposal about this a few days or weeks ago. Time Questions 15:42, 27 February 2009 (EST)

So, this is an American website. Use the one most people know, the AMERICAN name--Pectoralz 13:34, 8 November 2009 (EST)

We had a discussion over this a long time ago. We had a vote and people voted for the rule TimeQ mentioned. There's no need in bringing it up again. If you insist, you can create a new Proposal about it. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:45, 8 November 2009 (EST)

The Mario Strikers games are obviously the games where people complain the most about the name difference. And it's actually understandable: While both games were released first in Europe, they were created in Anglo-America (more specifically Canada), where association football is known as soccer. And even if they were developed in Japan, it would be no different. So in terms of game titles, maybe we could make exceptions from the rule when the title in an English-speaking region is either exactly the same as or a literal translation of the original title? With original title I mean the title used in the region where the game was created (North America in this case, but in most cases Japan). But really only if they are the same, no determining what title is "closer" to the original one (is Barrel Blast or Jet Race closer to Barrel Jet Race, I don't know), and also not using different version names for objects in a single game (e.g. vehicles in Mario Kart Wii should stay as they are), that would cause just too much confusion. What do you think? Just a suggestion. --Grandy02 08:22, 22 November 2009 (EST)
