Talk:No-Traction Action

Referring to this edit[1] that claims that the cars resemble the Jetsetter from Mario Kart Wii. I'm not seeing much resemblance they are besides their sloped appearance (the Jetsetter looks more segmented anyway) and they have a wing. They honestly look like the Streamliner more, just with a wing and even that's not really enough of a resemblance to really qualify IMO. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 19:55, September 5, 2023 (EDT)

Thanks for creating this talk page (was hard for me to do for some reason). Yeah I feel the karts pay a strong resemblance to the Jetsetter. I mean obviously the sloped appearance don’t help especially being in a small circuit like environment for the Mario Party characters, but I can see some resemblance. Just from the body. The Streamliner is more flat. I’m just wondering what your thoughts are for this. I do want this to ultimately be included however because this isn’t definitive, I wanted to consult other people for this. Or if there’s another way we can formulate this I’m all ears. As a side question: when we mention in other articles’ pages that a vehicle resemblances an IRL vehicle, how can we tell? What is, I guess, the deciding proof or the way the process works?

Under an IP address, you're likely restricted from creating pages, hence the difficulty (also don't forget to sign with ~~~~). As I said, I don't see the resemblace close enough to keep the statement on the page. I haven't personally checked how closely other vehicles align with real-life ones, but I think we weigh the similarities and check if the differences/contradictions are substantial enough or not. I think it's reasonable to say the B Dasher or the Classic Dragster resembles a Formula One car due to the distinct pipe-like design, but it may be a stretch to note a very specific reference unless said reference is very well-known. The process is all a matter of discreation I believe; there is no single formula for these decisions, which can appear arbitrary sometimes. But ultimately, if enough people agree on the references, the information stays, but if enough disagree, then it's removed. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:39, September 5, 2023 (EDT)

I’m just saying that for the Pipe-frame like vehicles in Mario Kart 64, we cited in the Pipe Frame page that the body frame was likely used in that game given it’s appearance. I’m more so just questioning the appearance rather than the tech aspects of the vehicle. This is also a video-game vehicle so obviously kinda hard to prove. I’m also specifically just taking about this vehicle only.

I'm here disagreeing that it looks like the Jetsetter too, and I also think it's more similar to the Streamliner (though not enough to warrant a trivia point). Ray Trace^(T|C) 22:27, September 5, 2023 (EDT)
