Editing Talk:Super Paper Mario

== Sigh... ==
Super Paper Mario is still for the GameCube! At least, that's what ALL the game sites I've been to say. Should we wait awhile for a confirmation, or go ahead and add it to the Cube games section?!? [[User: 3dejong|3dejong]]
:Nintendo may or may not have updated its site to reflect a change to the Wii. I'd wait for a confirmation. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>&middot;</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php/Special:Random http://www.mariowiki.com/images/2/24/Wayoshisig.png]</span> 15:55, 10 October 2006 (EDT)

== Jester-like creature: enemy or boss? ==

I saw on http://www.gamesradar.com/us/wii/game/reviews/article.jsp?articleId=20070330102557989000&sectionId=1000&pageId=20070330103441328028 (in a video) that there is a place with very many Jester-like creatures (Like the Dull Bones and Smorgs). Thus they are enemies. And I saw on the official japanese site in the story that there is only one.

:I'm pretty sure he's a boss, especially if his name really is Dimentio (someone posted the boss list on GameFAQs).  The hundreds and hundreds of him is probably just a move he does in the game. [[User:UrsulaBoi|UrsulaBoi]] 13:29, 7 April 2007 (EDT)

Ha ha, very funny. The Audience appeared in [[ttyd]] to, ya know. {{User:isyou/sig}}

:The article would be split of course Isyou. ;) -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Oh... never thought of that. Good point, I guess... {{User:isyou/sig}}

Even still, I find that it merits its own article. A Link to the Past has been acting very "funny", though. {{user:yellowYoshi398/sig}}

he is just very strict that things be ''perfect'' around here. {{User:isyou/sig}}

Guys, he does have valid points. You don't have to agree with them, but he is working to make the wiki better. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]
:It's a game mechanic. If it's separate, TTYD won't be featured because the content is not included. If you basically have the audience mentioned in both the Audience article and the TTYD article, then it's duplicate content and there is no point in having an article. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 22:34, 7 May 2007 (EDT)

::I think The [[Audience]] article should remain seperate, for it's own sake. - [[User:Smashgoom202|Smashgoom202]] 15:04, 8 May 2007 (EDT)
:::This is exactly what I talk about when I say "separating articles makes two inferior articles, while keeping them together makes one greater article".

Hey, guys. I just want to say that the audience had nothing to do with the gameplay of Super Paper Mario. They just came whenever the players did stylish moves. Nothing else. No helping, no hindering. They were only paper cut-outs anyway! Oh, and by the way, I have another topic on the "Whose Better..." section of my userpage, in case anyone's interested.

== Chapter 7: Too many religous refrences ==
The problem I found on many pages of this article were mentioning Hell and other religous things. Bonechill's Triva says something about a passage in the Bible, and this is a family friendly site. I don't think religon should be included, minus Greek myths. On The Underwhere, someone said that it was like Hell. This is not true, because you when you die in the game you go there no matter what, even if you have been good. Hell is only for bad people. There is no evidence in the game you go to The Overthere for being good. I think these should be removed, or at least replaced. We don't need serious topics like religon on this site.

And before you ask, I am Catholic. {{User|Anti Dude}}
:''Super Paper Mario'' makes several clever references to religous topics. We can't conceal that, it's obvious. Err, and I don't understand your point what makes a site family unfriendly if one makes ''a few'' references to religion. If we had to clean the site from every roughly religous reference, we also had to remove the fact that [[Ashley and Red|Red]] and [[Akuman]] are devils and that [[Wicked Wario]] looks like one, for example. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 13:53, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

== Enemy Images==
A lot of the enemy articles for this game feature low-quality, catch card images in the enemy's infobox.  If possible, could someone upload some high-quality, non-catch card images of these various enemies and place them in their respective articles?  It'd be nice to have clearer images of all these enemies. -- {{User|Son of Suns}}

== "Super Paper Mario", the movie? ==

[http://www.gwn.com/news/story.php/id/14249/Super_Paper_Mario_The_Movie.html Here.] This was posted in October 7th of 2007 after the launch of the game (which is around April 2007). Can someone write this mention in the article please? {{User:RAP/sig}} [[Special:Contributions/RAP|I would be glad if it did. :3]]
 If it ever DID come to pass, I'd be first in line for Lord Blumiere/Count Bleck!... But, since the the last anyone's heard about this is in 07, one can only assume that the idea was scraped, and the remains are in Prof.Frankly's trash can.XD [[User:Shadow Master|Shadow Master]] 09:39, 12 March 2012 (EDT)

== Holy Crap, Shy Guys, Wigglers in SPM? ==

I was on the Spriter's Resource looking at the SPM section, and I saw something. It had sprites for Monty Mole, Shy Guy, Fly Guy, Spear Guy, and Wiggler. My question is, is this legit? The link in question: http://spriters-resource.com/other_systems/superpapermario/

--[[User:BubbleRevolution]]
:No, it is probably not legitimate. There are many clever spriters and artists out there who can and will make images of characters who did not appear in a game in the graphical design of that game. They do not have any sources for the sprites themselves, do they? {{User:Super Paper Mario Bros./sig}} 16:26, 19 September 2009 (EDT)

==Sequel?==
This is something that's been on my mind for quite a while. In the trivia section, it said that Merlon and Nolrem stated that the Void wouldn't completely disappear after Count Bleck and/or Super Dimentio were defeated, which apparently hinted at a ''Super Paper Mario'' sequel. So, my question is, exactly when and where was that ever said in the game? I've played through the game at least sixteen times, and I haven't once read anything like that.

-{{User|SolarBlaze}} 20:33, 30 November 2009 EDT

:Per Solarblaze, I ever heard about that...it's probably some speculation.--{{User:Gamefreak75/Sig}}
::I've never heard this either, but there are a few hints in the game on a possible sequel to SPM. {{User:Fawfulfury65/sig}}

I know this is over two years old, but heres my message anyway:
I never got further than Chapter 2-2, coz my game broke, but as there is a new Paper Mario coming out on the 3DS, has anyone considered this could be a sequel.
Thats my outlook anyway.
--[[User:Smileymiley5001|=D Smileymiley5001 =D]] 14:29, 29 March 2011 (EDT)

Umm, was there ever a divorce or anything? Peach did officially marry Bowser causing the void expansion, so I guess I'm wondering... is Bowser still married to Peach? Or are they going to just pretend that never happened?

:: I guess you're right, but I wish the developers had resolved it somehow by undoing it. According to the current cannon she just married Bowser. I know a modern day court would dispute it, but tptb made the wedding pretty true when they started the void. Is Bowser King of the Mushroom Kingdom from marriage? Ugh, I'm not a fan of BowserxPeach, but should it be commented on either Peach or Bowser's page that they are presently married?{{user|Worldminus1}}

== Images ==

Should we add images to the Bosses section? That was done [[Paper Mario#Enemies and Bosses|here]].<br>
{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 22:11, 27 November 2016 (EST)
:I don't see why not. If it adds something to the article, and it does, it should be done. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 22:23, 27 November 2016 (EST)
::OK. I also think the Notes column of the table is quite unnecessary. It's just a random bit of info on the boss and a more detailed description of battle information can be found on the boss's page. Should I get rid of that?
::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 22:55, 27 November 2016 (EST)
:::Yes you should. It's unecessary information that pads out and bloats the table. It should be just listing basic information like the area and name and image and stuff, not weird info like "Controlled by Mr. L" or something like that. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 23:01, 27 November 2016 (EST)
::::No, leave it be. The notes offer a quick bit of info and the images would only bloat the table.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 00:25, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:::::Notes are far more useless than a visual representation of a character. I don't see how images would bloat the table, the vast majority of tables in this wiki use image for decorative and informative purposes. In fact, notes are the information that bloat the table, since they're far more superfluous than images. To demonstrate how useless they are, the very first note calls this the first boss of the game when it should be readily apparent to the player that the first boss listed is the first boss of the game while most notes are entirely stripped out of meaningful context in the boss battles they're portrayed in (like the "Temporarily Invincible", "No damage is done unless red tentacle is hit." and "Fought when confronting Dorguy the Third.") something this very article as well as the respective character articles cover very well enough already. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 00:35, 28 November 2016 (EST)
::::::I agree with Baby Luigi. The notes seem really unnecessary. Perhaps replace that column with the images. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:44, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:::::::Add the images, but make sure you use px when placing them. Otherwise, they will bloat the page. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 00:56, 28 November 2016 (EST)
::::::::Well duh. It's like reminding people to use "thumb" when placing images. It should be common sense to any regular wiki editors. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 01:00, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:::::::::I was trying to ease up Eldritchdraaks's idea that files will be bloated if no px was use. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 01:10, 28 November 2016 (EST)
::::::::::Well, the images certainly made the tabel bigger, but not excessively large, I don't think. Does it look good?
::::::::::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 10:57, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:::::::::::No, that was the exact amount of bloat I meant. Previously, you could almost view the whole table without scrolling. Now it takes a bit of scrolling to get from top to bottom.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 12:07, 28 November 2016 (EST)
::::::::::::With the substitution of pictures over text, there's going to be some bloat. Honestly, it seems fine to me, but maybe make a new column for the pictures alone if you're worried. Also, adding in construction template until this is fixed. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:12, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:::::::::::::The images need to be in another column to be consistent with the other two tables on the page. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 12:16, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:::::::::::::But the table itself was designed without images in mind. Even putting aside the bloat and scroll work created by the images, the just don't look good thrown in there, especially with the yellow, which looked fine without the images. --{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 12:20, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:::::::::::::Well, something had to be done. It's inconsistent to have images at the [[Paper Mario]] article, but not here. Should the images instead be removed from Paper Mario?
:::::::::::::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 12:33, 28 November 2016 (EST)
::::::::::::::Yes, actually. Most of the enemy content there needs to be removed anyways because of "Once and Only Once.", but w ecould leave the bosses, but it should function more like the boss table on [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Bosses|PMTTYD]], as should the other games in the [[Paper Mario series]] and [[Mario and Luigi series]].--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 12:39, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:::::::::::::::Images not functioning in the table is not the image's fault, it's because that table is sloppily designed in the first place; also, I'd rather we have some scrolling rather than sacrifice important visual information such as appearance of a character; some people can recognize a boss's design, but not their names. Also, can we not use yellow cells? Signify their status as chapter bosses with text formatting such as bold, not garish yellow cells. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 16:55, 28 November 2016 (EST)
::::::::::::::::I'm not blaming the image, I'm blaming the table. Everything has to be formatted just right, and right now it's not. with the amount of text in each cell being so small, only occupying one line, the addition of those images, in the way they are now, makes each row unnecessarily tall. There isn't enough information in the table to fill up the added space. It looks bad, and it causes the table to take up approx. five times the height it previously did. To sum it up, the table takes up way more space than the information inside it.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 17:51, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:::::::::::::::::You're still missing the point. Images provided ''are'' information, they're visual information, not textual. However, they're not the problem. The sheer inconsistencies with the artwork, sprites, and catch cards used are the main problem. Most other games like the Mario & Luigi series use sprites but this game is a hybrid of both sprites and models. I think it would be a better idea to use Catch Cards instead, as they're consistently sized and all enemies should have them. If not, we have to resort to using screenshots for 3D models and assembled sprite textures. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 18:17, 28 November 2016 (EST)
:Whoa! The new table looks cool, but it's way too fancy to be professional! All the links are the same color as the text, which is a bad practice, and the way the Stats are listed just looks wrong.
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 10:14, 29 November 2016 (EST)
::Well this isn't a bestiary.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 10:40, 29 November 2016 (EST)
::By which I mean, this table isn't at all required. It's still a secondary copy of the bestiary.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 10:46, 29 November 2016 (EST)
:::You're missing the point. It looks unprofessional simply because of how fancy it is. It should look like a basic table, not all flashy. The different color shades, the way the stats are presented and especially the different colored links make the table look really cool, but unprofessional.
:::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 10:49, 29 November 2016 (EST)
::::I felt that the way it was before looked unprofessional. I underlined the links, since underlines are a secondary indicator of a link. For the way it's set up, the stats are readable. Before, the table was so tall you couldn't read the headers after scrolling down. For the colors, I needed a good way to easily separate the different chapters in each row. At least I managed to shrink the table overall, which is a big win in my book. It still had no business taking up that much space.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 11:43, 29 November 2016 (EST)
::::I still say it looks too fancy, but I'll wait for other user input. Our two opinions are getting us nowhere. We'll leave it as is for now.
::::{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 11:45, 29 November 2016 (EST)
:::::You can change the colors if you'd like.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 11:47, 29 November 2016 (EST)

Some of the images need transparency. It will look more professional that way. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 11:57, 29 November 2016 (EST)

Why not just make the table look like how it does in on the Paper Mario page, but just with the bosses (as the regular enemy list isn't exactly needed here or there)? It's a simple set-up, shows the basic information, and easy to read. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:18, 29 November 2016 (EST)
:For the exact same reasons that I was against this table after the images were added: The table takes up more space than the information that fills it. It looks bad when you have THAT MUCH negative space that doesn't even need to be there. I can't believe no one else can see what I'm getting at.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 12:26, 29 November 2016 (EST)
::No reason to get angry, Eldritch. Is it possible to shrink the properties of the table, making it the proper size dependent on the info within it? [http://power-master.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Weapons_in_Power_Master_1:_A_Strange_Journey Sorta like how I have it here on my wiki], the table is condensed based on the info it contains. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:32, 29 November 2016 (EST)
:::Possibly? Unless it only affects the width of the table, since the problem lies with the height.--{{User:Eldritchdraaks/sig}} 12:40, 29 November 2016 (EST)
::::Might be best to use the catch cards images then, instead of the artworks. Assuming the card images are all about the same height, that should help with the problem somewhat. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:50, 29 November 2016 (EST)
:OK, so it's been almost two months and no change. What's the plan? {{User|Baby Luigi}} and {{User|Alex95}} suggested using Catch Card images, but that hasn't been implemented. The table still looks flashy and unprofessional. What do we do?
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 16:20, 14 February 2017 (EST)
::Sorry I can't help right now. If you saw my recent edits, I'm busy with other things. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 16:21, 14 February 2017 (EST)
:::I'll just repeat what I said earlier: Assuming the catch cards are all the same size, I think that would be the best bet. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:28, 14 February 2017 (EST)
::::I can see the Catch Card images working for size, but I am not a total fan of the catch cards' background here. I will support having catch card images to have consistency. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 16:50, 14 February 2017 (EST)

What's happening here? This section has been under construction for nearly a year. We need to decide how to format it.<br>
{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 12:49, 25 July 2017 (EDT)
:I still think the Catch Card images would be the most consistent. Maybe put that together on a separate project page of your own and see how that looks before finalizing it? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:55, 25 July 2017 (EDT)

==Bosses and Mini-Bosses==
It has come to my attention that there is no distinction made in the categories related to this game between the chapter bosses and the other bosses. I'd say the chapter bosses and bonus bosses should be considered "bosses," while the others, found in the middle of chapters, to be considered "mini-bosses," as they are typically weak bosses with little bearing on the plot (with the obvious exceptions of one like O'Chunks, but I'd say he still qualifies as a mini-boss.) In the solely-platforming-based games, only the bosses at the ends of each world are considered bosses, while the ones in the middle (like Boom-Boom, Reznor, Burt the Bashful, Boss Sumo Bro., etc.) are considered mini-bosses, and I think that rule should extend to here as well. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 19:43, 6 July 2017 (CT)

:I agree, though I disagree with the statement that mini-bosses have little bearing to the plot (Bowser joins the party after each fight, all the mini-boss battles in Castle Bleck result in the loss of a character, etc.). You'll notice that the quality of articles related to SPM are surprisingly poor, which is why there isn't a separate category for mini-bosses.
:{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 20:52, 6 July 2017 (EDT)

::I did mention exceptions to the plot rule, but for many of them, there is not much plot, such as Mega Koopa, Big Blooper, Underchomp, the optional second fight with Francis, and things like that. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 20:26, 6 July 2017 (CT)
Most of the bosses are fought at the end of chapters, with I think O'Chunks being the exception. Even so, O'Chucks is fought as the boss of Chapter 8-1. I don't think there's a clear defining factor between boss and mini-boss in this game. Here's all the bosses in order for me to better explain what I mean:
*[[O'Chunks]] - Mid-boss of Chapter 1-3, 5-2, & 5-4, Boss of Chapter 8-1
*[[Fracktail]] - Boss of Chapter 1-4
*[[Mimi]] - Boss of Chapter 2-4, 6-2, & 8-2
*[[Bowser]] - Boss of Chapter 3-1
*[[Big Blooper]] - Boss of Chapter 3-2
*[[Dimentio]] - Boss of Chapter 3-3 & 8-3
*[[Francis]] - Boss of Chapter 3-4, optional mid-boss of Chapter 8-2
*[[Mr. L]] & [[Brobot]] - Bosses of Chapter 4-4
*[[King Croacus]] - Boss of Chapter 5-4
*[[Brobot L-Type]] - Boss of Chapter 6-1 Redux
*[[Underchomp]] - Boss of 7-2
*[[Bonechill]] - Boss of Chapter 7-4
*[[Count Bleck]] and [[Super Dimentio]] - Bosses of Chapter 8-4
Every boss, even O'Chucks, is fought at the end of a level at least once.I'd be fine with classifying them all as simply "bosses", because that's all this game seems to have in terms of major enemies. If we need to classify any of these as mini-bosses, the only ones that "fit" would be O'Chunks and Francis. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:05, 6 July 2017 (EDT)
:In regard to minibosses, I think we should just leave ''SPM'' alone. The game simply does not draw a clear line between "boss" and "miniboss". The bosses are presented relatively equally and all get unique themes (aside from [[Big Blooper]] and [[Shadoo]]), unlike the rest of the ''Paper Mario'' games where major bosses get unique themes while the mid-bosses all share a general "miniboss" theme. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 22:20, 6 July 2017 (EDT)
::Regardless of where they are fought within levels, it is there placement within chapters that matters, as that is the analogue to worlds in this game. Boom Boom is fought at the end of castle levels in SMB3 and NSMBU, but he's still a miniboss. Same goes for O'Chunks, Big Blooper, and the rest. And 7feet, the previous Paper Mario games did not make any distinction either, Boss themes mean nothing. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 22:29, 6 July 2017 (CT)
:::No. No, no, no. It does not work like that. We cannot just consider everything not fought at the end of a chapter or world a miniboss. [[Category talk:Mini Bosses|That is exactly why the category had to be hosed down to begin with]]. And claiming that "boss themes mean nothing" is nonsense. They're not everything, but of course they mean something. They're part of the presentation. The mid-bosses share a theme because they're "less important" than the chapter bosses. Not that that's the single defining criterion for what makes a miniboss, but the point is if a game does not actually draw a fine line between "boss" and "miniboss", then there is absolutely no good reason to be forcing the category on it. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 00:13, 7 July 2017 (EDT)
::::If we're going down that route, I'd like to point out that virtually no game has actually ever referred to a miniboss as a miniboss by the word itself, or anything other than implication, an implication shared with the SPM minibosses. They are presented in an identical manner, ie a lesser boss. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 0:05, 7 July 2017 (CT)
:::::The statement is technically incorrect: in-game data of ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', such as the unit data table [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12jSeMI6-xEia0ocOrG_ykpCXNoEmX5pGitHnfsuf9ag/pubhtml here], refer to ''zako boss'' and ''boss'', the latter are of course the Koopalings and Bowser, with the former being the other bosses. The distinction is not as arbitrary as it may sound. Still, I don't have a dump of ''Super Paper Mario'', so I don't know how developers classify the bosses in the game.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 05:51, 7 July 2017 (EDT)
::::::Doc von Schmeltwick noted that no boss is ever referred to as mid-boss or mini-boss in any game. I would like to note the page [[Superboss]] is about to be deleted, partially for the fact that superboss is a fan term. Could the same scenario apply here?

== Regarding the khinsider soundtrack ==

[https://downloads.khinsider.com/game-soundtracks/album/super-paper-mario this, specifically.]

does anyone have any idea where this upload came from? i can find no mention of it online anywhere. i'm particularly curious about this because the khinsider tracks are much cleaner than direct rips from the game, and are even at double the sample rate! the khinsider tracks are 44.1khz, but the SPM game files only have them at 22.05khz (besides a few outliers which are 32khz). there are even unused jingles! as far as i can tell, there is a similar soundtrack upload for TTYD on the site, same increased music quality and all. it's really strange - if someone had found all the samples and recreated the tracks from scratch, you'd think there would be a thread about it on some forum somewhere, or they'd be on Church of Kondo, or anything...

i only have a few small leads: it was reuploaded to Sitting on Clouds, and that page has an Amazon link, but it is both dead and the URL suggests it's for a completely different game anyway. the khinsider page claims the soundtrack release is from 2013, so maybe the Mr. L track was lifted from the Year of Luigi CD release that happened that year. the cover image appears to be based on the JP/EU box art - this has a small page curl graphic overlapping the logo, but there are a lot of official Nintendo promotional images of differing sizes floating around that it could be based on (likely [https://purenintendo.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/t01_800-600.jpg this one], which appears to be official). i did a search on TinEye but none of the matches were this specific square Original Sound Version image, so unfortunately i haven't been able to determine when it first appeared on the internet. Google gets a lot closer but none of the images seem to be dated at first and they definitely don't let you ''sort'' by date, either, which is a little frustrating.

as for where the files themselves come from, i have a few ideas, but nothing concrete. i had initially thought they might be from the Wii U eShop version, but i looked up some footage and the music matched the Wii ingame files. the disc I've owned since childhood is a North American Rev. 2 copy, so maybe other regions got higher quality music files? there's plenty of room on the disc, considering the extracted files for SPM come out to under 500 megabytes.

if anyone has any more information than i do, please reply! i'm really curious about all this - it's a very interesting mystery. [[User:MANGOM1LK|MANGOM1LK]] ([[User talk:MANGOM1LK|talk]]) 20:14, May 4, 2022 (EDT)
