Talk:Hotel Mario
Poor voice acting and bizarre format?
Is that not an opinion? MamaWaluigi 16:29, 20 August 2007 (EDT)

Well ,it is. But it's the general consencus. Gofer
- Not really. Why, then, is it used in Youtube Poop, then? MamaWaluigi 13:58, 21 August 2007 (EDT)
I'm pretty sure that's exactly why it's used in YouTube Poop.

Regardless, critic opinions should be properly referenced with reference tags. Stumpers! 18:24, 14 June 2008 (EDT)
Wikipedia?
This article looks exactly like the one on Wikipedia. Luigifan123

Credits
Are the credits really necessary?
Ralphfan>>Waste of space, in my opinion.
Sorry to bring up this tired debate but...
Mark Graue acknowledge the existence of Youtube Poops, albeit indirectly:
"I think it’s very cool ( and flattering ) that something that was recorded in 1993 has found new life on [YouTube videos that are using Mario & Luigi’s voice for their comedic video collages]."
So yeah, thoughts?--Blitzwing 18:07, 20 April 2009 (EDT)
- This is very interesting. Not only should Marc have his own aticle me thinks, but maybe a reference of Youtube Poops somewhere in the wiki would be nice. Anyone agree? Paper Jorge ( Talk·Contributions)·
- Yes, also i must agree Castle Toad (talk)
SMB2 reference
On the cover, does mario appear as he does in SMB2 on the cover? Should someone add that as a refenece?(Position) ~Goombob 10:31, 12 July 2013 (EDT)
YouTube?
Should we add that this game is popular on YouTube and as Internet Memes? YouDontKnowSponge (talk) 15:28, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
- The tag in the trivia section explicitly states that we don't allow this stuff. Ray Trace(T|C) 15:43, 3 July 2014 (EDT)
So...
I have a few concerns over our coverage of this game, namely images, names, and gameplay details. I found that most of our info seems to come from this, a humor site, which may have exaggerated or made things up for comedic effect. Some examples of things I've noticed:
- All of the enemy sprites are directly taken from this site (complete with colorful borders), which I'm pretty sure is plagiarism, and the images are poor quality anyway, and should probably be replaced for that alone.
- Some of the names seem a bit suspicious, and while it's likely someone here has the game and went over the manual, based on our other info being taken from this page (including the past assumption of Pats being Swoopers, and the (apparently conjectural) name Evil Coin), I'd say we should back up the names with a citation at least.
- Some of the gameplay info sounds dubious as well, such as this quote from the Mechakoopa article:
- Which is essentially a rewording of this line from the article I linked:
- Then a strange thing happens: after about 3/4 of the clock runs out, every Mechakoopa in the stage will break down into junk. This is all well and good until you find a junkpile right in front of the last door you need to shut, and have to hop on it 6 times to get it to move slightly right before the last 10 seconds run out. Better again to just waste them for good with a fireball.
- While the "six jumps" thing could be true, based on the general tone of the page, it seems a lot like hyberbole or exaggeration (similar to saying "You did that like 15 times already").
tl;dr, it seems our only source for Hotel Mario info is a now-dead review site, we should probably fix that. Binarystep (talk) 02:54, 25 March 2015 (EDT)
