Hi!
I noticed that this article states that Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga Joke Spinner was playable on the official site created to promote Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, though Flashpoint states that this was published by FEKids, an edutainment website(?) that now links to Funbrain, another edutainment site. As there is Nintendo copyright information at the bottom, I am sure this is licensed. I was just wondering if the section regarding where this game was available should be modified. It very well may have been playable on the official site, though. If this is the case, please disregard what I just said.

- You're welcome! I just ran into a Supper Mario Broth page on this, which states that it was indeed playable on the Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga official website. Maybe FEKids repurposed this game? There is another FEKids-published (per Flashpoint) Nintendo game that gives off heavy edutainment vibes (and thus does not look like it would fit very well on any sort of promotional website), known as e-Reader Fun Match, so maybe there was some sort of FEKids x Nintendo partnership? I have heard of Adobe Flash promo games being playable on more than one site (such as both Nintendo Arcade and a game's own promotional site) but never a game being on both an edutainment site and a promotional site, which have next to nothing to do with each other.

- Alright, I just went through files on the FEKids website with the Wayback Machine, and the .swf for the Joke Spinner did turn up. I guess there was some sort of joint Nintendo-FEKids Flash game sharing thing going on. There is a chance that it was only available on FEKids, as the Supper Mario Broth article is the only evidence I can find otherwise. Nelsonic (talk) 11:16, November 14, 2024 (EST)
