==The freaking (series) pages== | |||
The (series) page are one of the suckiest part of our wiki. There has been [http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=32903.0 one discussion] about it, talks about the formatting of the pages. There is a small agreement that the current table formatting of, say, [[Mario (series)]], [[Donkey Kong (series)|Konkey Dong (series)]], and similar pages need to be removed or ''at least'' overhauled. | |||
There has been discussion on removing entire sections on Character/thing/items. | |||
There are also some ideas to talk about the series as a whole, its overall reception, for instance. There also has been talks about continuity within each series. | |||
Anyway, here's an attempt on overhauling one (series) page, the [[WarioWare]] series. I've attempted to remove the chunky clunky table from WarioWare series page and make the formatting similar to a "less developed" series page, [[Donkey Kong Land (series)]]. | |||

'''''WarioWare''''', sometimes '''''WarioWare, Inc.''''' and known as '''''Made in Wario''''' (メイド イン ワリオ ''Meido in Wario'') in Japan, is a video game series published by [[Nintendo]] and mostly co-developed by [[Nintendo SPD|Nintendo SPD Group No. 1]] and [[Intelligent Systems]]. It is focused on very short and simple [[minigame]]s, more specifically [[microgame]]s. It was introduced in 2003 and is a spin-off of both ''[[Mario Artist#Mario Artist: Polygon Studio|Mario Artist: Polygon Studio]]'' and the [[Wario (series)|''Wario'' series]]. The concept of ''WarioWare'' was first used in the named ''[[Mario Artist]]'' title. The plot of the ''WarioWare'' series centers around its main character, [[Wario]], and his friends who work for his "company", [[WarioWare, Inc. (company)|WarioWare, Inc.]], and develop the microgames. | |||
== Overview == | |||
''WarioWare'' or spin-off games have been published for every [[Nintendo]] system after 2003 except the [[Nintendo 3DS]], and their style varies from system to system, depending on its features (e.g. for [[Nintendo DS]], the games are based on touching the touch screen and blowing into the microphone). Each game consists of microgames (really tiny and simple games like popping balloons or spinning a [[coin]]) that are often crazy (like [[Gold Digger|picking a nose]]). The games might seem simple, but as the player's level goes up, they become more and more challenging. This concept was first used in ''[[Mario Artist: Polygon Studio]]'' in the so-called Sound Bomber mode, but only with a very small number of microgames. Beneath the microgame stages, all ''WarioWare'' titles offer unlockable extra modes and "full" minigames. | |||
Story-wise, the games center on Wario, his company WarioWare, Inc., and his friends in [[Diamond City]] who develop microgames for his company, though greedy Wario usually refuses to pay his friends, despite the high success of the games. ''WarioWare'' introduced several new characters, which are featured solely in these games, except for minor appearances in ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros. series]]''. Most games of the series include short stories in the form of cut scenes dedicated to each of the developers, telling about adventures or the everyday life of them. These cut scenes are split into two parts, the first one can be seen before the developer's respective microgame stage, while the latter part with the ending appears after the player beat the stage. | |||

Revision as of 16:29, October 21, 2014
This is what it's going to look like once all recolors artwork is uploaded. Not like this in its current state, idiot, but it's an idea. Finally, so we can maintain consistency, the shadowless artwork and that sexy Mario without fire artwork will have its own section.

The freaking (series) pages
The (series) page are one of the suckiest part of our wiki. There has been one discussion about it, talks about the formatting of the pages. There is a small agreement that the current table formatting of, say, Mario (series), Konkey Dong (series), and similar pages need to be removed or at least overhauled.
There has been discussion on removing entire sections on Character/thing/items.
There are also some ideas to talk about the series as a whole, its overall reception, for instance. There also has been talks about continuity within each series.
Anyway, here's an attempt on overhauling one (series) page, the WarioWare series. I've attempted to remove the chunky clunky table from WarioWare series page and make the formatting similar to a "less developed" series page, Donkey Kong Land (series).

WarioWare, sometimes WarioWare, Inc. and known as Made in Wario (メイド イン ワリオ Meido in Wario) in Japan, is a video game series published by Nintendo and mostly co-developed by Nintendo SPD Group No. 1 and Intelligent Systems.
