Talk:Paper Mario (series)

Alright, I finally got (most of) this article off the ground. If someone can give me a hand with SPM, I'll be happy. -Dodo

Doesn't this article just tell the story of the two games, as already told in the games' articles? A series article needs to describe gameplay mechanics between games and the like it. This article should describe what makes this series unique from other Mario sub-series. What makes a Paper Mario game a Paper Mario game? Unfortunately, a lot of this article should probably be deleted, as the story info can be found in better places. -- Son of Suns

Agreed. It just tells the story, it should not be the story, it should be the history on how the series came to be, its critical aclaim, some tables showing the Bosses, Where the "Relic" (Important Item) is found, and Partners. It should also have gameplay, and all that other stuff. The infoboxes have to go, as well. My Bloody Valentine

This article currently only states what could easily be said in the game's pages as well. There is potential, like focussing on things like the battle system, the graphical style and the similarities in the storyline for the first to games, but currently, it doesn't even compare them. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 17:19, 12 May 2008 (EDT)

I don't think Paper Mario's working title and information about that should be there. Mario246

Could somebody tell me what the HECK happened to Paper Mario DS? It was here and all hyped up and then POOF Its gone! MisterJaffffey G0 Paper Mario (series)

It fanon. Grapes

Apparently, there is a Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door 2 in the works. Here's a link: [1] Shadow_King618

That is complete bull fanon. Boo der dash

Please don't chat on here. And Paper mario 3ds is official. GalladeBlades

In the secondary protagonists part of this page, Shouldn't TEC-XX be considered a secondary protagonist? 0?0 BoygeyPumpkineer

Create Pages for Beta

I think we should create pages for beta items, enemies, etc. We have Drill Bit, Super Mario 128, right? I think we should create pages for Okooru, Trade Off, Hyper Bob-Omb, etc. I know i tried this before here, but let me tell all of you something: those unused items CAN be placed in the final version of the game, they have full sprites with no errors in look or function (except the "please come back" item). What I think is if an unused enemy, boss, item, or badge CAN function in the game when placed there, it deserves an article (except for the badges, the can go here).

Comments

@Paperphailurethemariomonster99: Drill Bit appeared in the final game, so it merits its own article. Mario & Luigi

Dark Paratroopa appeared in PM2, and Albino Dino appeared in the final PM. They merit their own articles, but not the ones you created. Mario & Luigi

Why? They have FULL INFO. Can we at least make pages for the PM beta items that work in the final version? Niiue - Who has lost his tail?

The articles you created did NOT have full info! Mario & Luigi

I'm not the only person with internet, you know... Niiue - Who has lost his tail?

What is that supposed to mean? Mario & Luigi

It means you could have helped, too. An article that one person builds won't look good. An article that multiple people build will look good. Niiue - Who has lost his tail?

Yeah, but the proposal phailed failed, and this proposal did not pass yet. Mario & Luigi

What I'm saying is it's not to late to change your mind. Niiue - Who has lost his tail?

Just so you know, the quality of an article is not based off how many people or edits have contributed to the article, but how much dedication went into the content on the article. Just read one of the smaller NIWA wikis (Metroid Wiki comes to mind for me) for a while, then check the history on one of the pages that impresses you the most; sometimes they'll have many people editing them, and sometimes they'll have two or three highly dedicated users just working on them for a few days. It really is independent of the number of edits or users. Bop1996 _(Talk)

I put a LOT of dedication into the page. I went to tcrf.net and opened TextEdit. Then I copied the PMEnemybox from the Goomba page. Then I pasted it into TextEdit. Then I edited the name and stats to fit the Hyper Bob-Omb. Then I pasted it in the Hyper Bob-Omb page. Then I edited the stats to fit the Ultra Bob-Omb. Then I pasted the Ultra Bob-Omb's stats to the Ultra Bob-Omb article. Then I typed up the rest of the page. It was a lot of hard work. Niiue - Who has lost his tail?

Actually, you really did a whole lot of copy-pasting; you're just dragging it out to make it seem like it was so hard. Yoshiwaker

Since the proposer was just blocked, does that mean the proposal is deleted by admins? Apologies if this was already planned; I'm just trying to ensure it isn't overlooked. Bop1996 _(Talk)
