The 'Shroom Spotlight

Written by: RHG1951 (talk)

Hello, all you readers of The 'Shroom, and welcome to Spotlight. Spotlight is a community project which aims to fix up the articles on the wiki which have issues. These issues can range from poor writing, to a lack of images, to even just needing a credible source.

It's that time of the year again! A time for scares, horror, and hecticness for the wiki as games are being released for the holiday season. This year, I'm dressed as one of the most dastardly characters of the Super Mario franchise, the Co-Star Luma! Name me another Wii game that allows a player to play sounds on another player's Wii Remote. Before I make cuíca sounds come out of your devices, let's go over last month's focuses.

Technetium (talk) created Mr. Time and added the missing citation for Lucky House, Green Star (talk) elaborated on how Booster Battle works, and Scrooge200 (talk) made dreams a reality by taking a picture of the Warp Pipe Block. While this isn't related to its focus, I do feel the need to mention that Mid188 (talk) added a section for the enemies and treasure boxes for the Kero Sewers. Most importantly of all, and ThePowerPlayer (talk) added Mr. Time's voice clip which I still find as amusing as the first time I heard it. Unfortunately, File:LUNCHBREAK.png missed out on its big break and is still blurry. Maybe next time.

And now onto this month's focuses:

Article Category Focuses
Magic (Nintendo Land)
Wanted article
Quite ironic that we're shining a light on the move that drains it. Work your magic and conjure this article into existence. Just make sure to leave this Spotlight out of its range.
Lift Castle
Stub article
This article needs a lift of its own. As usual with the articles covering Yoshi's Story levels, a more detailed level layout would be appreciated.
Jack O'Goomba
Rewrite and expansion required
Nothing says Halloween more than a jack o'lantern. The problem is, we don't know what what the description of this jack o'lantern says. Find out what it says on the Jack O'Goomba's trading card.
Bonus challenge (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)
Image requested
Despite its name, it shouldn't be much of a hassle to get at least one image of a bonus challenge. Don't leave this article in the dark.
Ghoulish Grotto
Articles that need more images
The only ghoulish thing here is that there's no image of this level's bonus level. Take a picture of it before it's instead grabbed by the ghoulies.
Vincent Van Gore
Citation needed
This article is missing key information. That is, there is no source for the glitch that causes the Alter Room key to disappear.

Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently eighteen that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2021, so think of this as a continuous Spotlight goal until they're all completed. Additionally, there are many unresolved discussions that we would love to see come to some sort of conclusion. Some might have already concluded and just need the template removed, others have been waiting for a response for years.

Thanks for tuning in to the newest edition of The 'Shroom Spotlight! Be sure to turn up next month, where we'll be reviewing the progress on the above focuses. If you have any questions or suggestions about this month's set of the article focuses, then please get in touch through the dedicated topic if you have a forum account. If not, then please contact me on my talk page, but you are far more likely to get a quick response if you go through the forums. You are also welcome to make suggestions on what you think we could focus on in our next edition! Thank you, and good luck!
