Stages

Two questions:

1. Should images for the stages added to this article?
2. Should the article cover the stages from the non-Mario games?

Cobold 13:59, 10 February 2007 (EST)

All stages in the game can have their own page, according to the Importance Policy. Only info from Super Smash Bros. can be in these articles, and they must be placed in Super Smash Bros.-only categories. Remember, SSB is of secondary concern to this wiki. Mario is of primary importance. -- Son of Suns

Yes, but the Mario stage have a different look from other Mario games in this game. You didn't say anything about the images, which would be more helpful describing the stages than just words. Cobold 14:27, 10 February 2007 (EST)

Oh. Well those stages should have their own section in their respective articles (or get their own article). For example, the Peach's Castle section should have a section about SSB in the article, while the Mushroom Kingdom stage should have its own article, as the real Mushroom Kingdom is a political entity, not a level. This SSB page should probably just have links to those stage pages, instead of descriptions. The descriptions should be in the articles themselves. Images should then go in the stage articles. -- Son of Suns

Meant-to-be-in

Can someone give a source for all those characters who were meant to be in but left out? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 10:59, 12 November 2007 (EST)

King Dedede is confirmed through wikipedia. Bowser and Peach, I have no idea, but if we find Bowser, we find Peach. I don't know where the romor for Bowser and Peach is, but I know they were part of the same romour. I'll dig it up... --HyperToad 11:26, 8 December 2007 (EST)

I did here that Meowth actually was supposed to be in it. So was Mewtwo. Both removed. MegaMario9910

What's the source for the meant-to-be-in characters and the reasons for the cuts, actually? Don't cite Wikipedia, there everyone can edit, too. Beta Elements cites SmashWiki, but that's another Wiki as well. There's no source mentioned for the early voice cast, either. So, any reliable sources? By the way, Master Hand's artwork isn't from Super Smash Bros. --Grandy02 13:02, 9 December 2008 (EST)

I have added "citation needed" to several things since nobody answered. Better get reliable sources (NO wikis) or remove the info if it is false, because an article with such tags doesn't have to be featured. Also, can I remove the Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Master Hand artwork now? --Grandy02 09:14, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

List of characters

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Is a complete list of the cameo characters really necessary, especially on the top of the article? We have List of Cameos for that. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 09:02, 21 June 2009 (EDT)

Such a list has been added to several articles (example). Agree with Cobold, espcially because such in-depth information shouldn't be on the top and also because it's redundant in this case. --Grandy02 13:31, 26 June 2009 (EDT)

It really doesn't make sense for the cameos in one game to be listed on two separate articles. Agree with Cobold on this one. Glitchman (talk · contribs) 12:35, 21 July 2009 (EDT)

So, can the "Characters Appearing in This Game" list just be removed? --Grandy02 16:15, 25 March 2010 (EDT)

We shouldn't get rid of the whole section, but the "Cameos and Allusions" section, I scrapped, since you can't cameo in your own series. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

I think it should go now, because every character in the list is already in another list in the article. It's simply redundant. --Grandy02 09:02, 28 April 2010 (EDT)

Delete this article?

I think we should delete this article because when you think about it, it's actually Kirby's game, not Mario. Ugozima 20:46, 13 August 2009 (EDT)

No. Our coverage policy includes crossovers, which the entire Super smash Bros. series is. If we delete this one, we would also have to delete the Super Smash Bros. Melee article and the Super Smash Bros. Brawl article. · SMB (Talk) · 20:52, 13 August 2009 (EDT)

Yeah, and there's four Mario characters (If you count DK and Yoshi) and another Kirby character didn't appear until Brawl came out. The only Kirby ties are with the creator and developers excluding Kirby himself, the Dream Land stage and any Kirby items. TIMMY TIM

how is this a kirby game? gamer2.1 (talk)

It's not, obviously. If it's based off any game, it's Super Mario Bros. Purplebackpack89 00:13, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

extra info

Just so everyone knows Metal Mario and Master Hand aren't playable in super smash bros. you can only play as them with gameshark or action replay. So all those videos on how to play as them are fake. gamer2.1 (talk)

And the article says just that. Metal Mario and Master Hand aren't listed under "Playable", but under "Bosses". - Gabumon^(talk) 23:30, 26 September 2009 (EDT)

Also that goes for the fighting polygon team too. Gamer2.1
