:::My philosophy is that, as obscure and unimportant as Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo challenge is, it does have a thing that the wiki has granted an article named "Donkey Kong 1", and there are no other things that use the name "Donkey Kong 1". This thing's name being "Donkey Kong 1" overrides any non-naming scheme. (Yes, I know it's a level, I'm being general). This, in my opinion, is why not every game subtitle has a redirect. Most of them do, but some of the proverbial slots are taken by other things that have articles. ([[Super Mario 3D Land]] to [[3D Land]] for instance, compare [[Super Mario 3D World]] to [[3D World]].) This is Super Mario Wiki, which is about all of the Super Mario things, even the ones people don't remember exist.

:::Another comparison is [[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]] to [[Sticker Star]]. That does redirect, but only because Sticker Star is an implied location and therefore lacks an article. [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 12:57, January 1, 2025 (EST).

::::You make a good point about subjects with exact titles taking priority for those titles, though there have been cases where more likely search intents take priority instead, like [[Goombas]] redirecting to [[Goomba]] instead of [[Goombas (microgame)]] taking that title even though there's nothing else titled "Goombas"; same with [[Jumpman]]'s redirect to [[Mario]] instead of being the title for [[Jumpman (badge)]]. I'd also argue [[3D Land]] should be a redirect too for the same reason, especially since ''Smash'' is now a less focused part of our coverage. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:59, January 2, 2025 (EST)
