Some things

Hey welcome. Noticing you're having some mistakes with writing. I recommend you go over MarioWiki:Manual of Style, but here's some quick things:

  • Italics are used for media titles, such as game names. They are not used for subjects like Gold Mario.
  • Bolds are used for the first instance of a subject on the subject's page. For example, the first use of "Mario" on Mario's page.
  • "It's" means "it is", "its" is used possessively (English, yay).
  • Be sure to double check your writing for typos, the software will usually point out misspellings.

Can you explain where or how you're getting this information? Both of these are false. Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker. Mario JC 06:07, April 27, 2021 (EDT) I

At 1:57, you can see SMB2 Mario take damage by getting a Super Mushroom.Giga Cat Weegee (talk) 18:53, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

That's Mario hitting the spikes below the Mushroom, taking damage and then picking the Mushroom up. This also has nothing to do with getting 1110 lives in NSMBW. Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker. Mario JC 21:28, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

Make sure you're also italicising media titles per MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles and as Alex mentioned above. For example, Super Mario Bros. 2 should be formatted as Super Mario Bros. 2. Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker. Mario JC 21:41, April 27, 2021 (EDT)

Don't abbreviate either. SMM should be written in full as Super Mario Maker, SMM2 as Super Mario Maker 2 etc. Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker. Mario JC

Couple more things

When adding the port's title to section headers, they should be formatted like this: ''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''. So in short, italics must still be placed before and after the slash. Also, don't use contractions in mainspace articles, words should be written in full e.g "do not" instead of "don't".

Checking edits

Please check over your edits before leaving them. A large edit like [mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_3D_World_%2B_Bowser%27s_Fury&type=revision&diff=3193894&oldid=3193828 the one you made] on Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury should have been something you'd look over first (especially on an article being improved upon for a FA nomination), and you should have noticed the images had their widths unspecified and were too big. Next time, use the "Show preview" button to see what your edits look like before saving them, and once you're satisfied with them, click "Save changes". Samus costume, in Super Mario Maker.
