Trim article?[edit]

Since this proposal passed, would that mean that this article has the general information (i.e. information that's no different from the original Super Famicom and SNES version) trimmed? Super Mario RPG (talk) 16:43, July 13, 2024 (EDT)

Personally, I feel there's enough sporadic differences (such as level order, enemy placement, and new items) it's best to keep as-is than remove only what is similar. That proposal failing was more "keep it case-by-case" than "remove it from every other remake." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:01, July 13, 2024 (EDT)
The way these games were ported is more or less the same in spirit of how Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and the Super Mario Advance series were remade, and neither of those have comprehensive lists of what can be found in-game. Super Mario RPG (talk) 17:07, July 13, 2024 (EDT)
And I think those ones probably should, personally. These pages came much later since for a very long time they were inexplicably merged to the SNES game pages. Then I took it upon myself to split them and actually gather all the missing sprites (most of which still are only on these pages rather than in galleries).

Definitely not all of it should be removed, though some of the entries were directly copypasted from the original SFC/SNES page, such as Army's and Bitesize's, and in hindsight makes it more difficult for me to see where the actual differences from the original version are.

Consider though, the remakes of Mario Bros., which do generally keep full information for simplicity's sake. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:29, July 13, 2024 (EDT)
