The idea of this is this post on the forum. I have to:

• find a general name for the page
• add the platform and the release date of the [name of the page]s and original games.
• explain how this is a [name of the page]
• remove the "nowiki"s at the end of the article.
• organize everything into subsections.
• talk about Mario is Missing!, Mario's Time Machine, Donkey Kong (game), Dr. Mario (game), Nintendo PlayChoice-10, Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Masterpieces, Dr. Wario, Fly Swatter, Wario's Sheriff, Bird & Beans, Golf, Donkey Kong Classics, Donkey Kong Jr. (game), Donkey Kong Jr. + Jr. Math Lesson, Donkey Kong 3 (see 1983 and 1984), Mario Bros. Special, Wrecking Crew, Nintendo Vs. System, Super Mario World (arcade), Yoshi no Cookie: Kuruppon Oven de Cookie, Tetris & Dr. Mario, Dr. Mario & Puzzle League, Donkey Kong (Game Boy), Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Stadium, Mario Golf (Game Boy Color), Mario Artist: Paint Studio, Classic NES Series, Dr. Mario Online Rx, Yakuman DS (that's a lot)

The articles begins here:

List of [name of the page]s

Remakes

A remake is a game released usually long after the original game, on a new system, with updated graphics to fit with the new engine capacities, and additions brought to plot and gameplay (all these conditions may not be met in every case). They generally have a new name.

Ports

A port is a game released on a new platform than the original game, with some minor changes such as new controls or new graphics to fit the new system. Compilations are considered as ports since they're globally compilations of ports. Usually, they are very close to the original game and share the same name.

A port of the game is included in the four Super Mario Advance games (GBA, 2001 to 2003), and in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (GBA, 2003), as well as a minigame in the 2-player mode of Super Mario Bros. 3 (Famicom/NES, 1988).
