== Saw you using one of my renders ==
Remember [[King_Kruiser_II|King Kruiser II]]? I made that image render you used on there. ^^
:Anyways, I just wanted to say that I'm glad you were able to use it. ^-^
:I have more, but have no clue how to post them in this wiki. XD --[[User:M.E.R.255|M.E.R.255]] ([[User talk:M.E.R.255|talk]]) 01:19, 31 October 2016 (EDT)
::Wait, you made the King Kruiser render? I didn't know that... I just saw that some DK64 articles were missing some sprites & renders... So I added some renders & sprites from the DK wikia and DKVine... Oh and I could add some of your other renders on this wiki if you want ^_^ --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 15:37, 31 October 2016 (EDT)
== Character infoboxes ==
For character articles with an identifier (e.g. [[Beanstalk (character)]]), you need to [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Beanstalk_(character)&diff=2492445&oldid=2492421 include the "title" parameter manually] otherwise the infobox will include the identifier. Also, don't add the "full name" parameter unless it's different from their "regular" name, as it's completely useless and redundant. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 20:25, 26 August 2018 (EDT)
:Oh okay, I'm not completely used to making character infoboxes yet, but I'll try to not making those mistakes again. Thanks for the info! --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 20:28, 26 August 2018 (EDT)
== Klap Trap ==
This is more like Red and Green Koopa Troopas, which are commonly listed as separate in guides. None of those examples you've listed are even remotely comparable, and in fact have some pretty major differences. This is being given a different hue and less weaknesses, and said guide has proven itself to be unreliable at best regarding enemy classification, as I have stated. And no, the only "simple recolor" pages are for specific RPG enemies, like KP Koopas. Platforming enemies like this are ''against policy'' to have "simple recolor" pages. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 22:26, 7 September 2018 (EDT)
:... Why repost it in my talk page? I don't understand the logic there... --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 22:32, 7 September 2018 (EDT)
::Because you weren't responding in a timely enough manner for my tastes, that's why. Goombo is still quite different due to its deliberately different design, which as its name suggests, is more Chibi. "Purple Klaptrap" is a hue realignment that happens to be more hardy. ie, little different from the various Shy Guy colors in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''.

== Finding official names ==
Hi, when you find an official name, like you did with [[La planète de Donkey Kong]], you need to move [[:Category:La planète de Donkey Kong|the corresponding category]] and its subcategories as well. Thanks! {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 18:28, 17 September 2018 (EDT)
:Oh yeah, sorry about that. I had completely forgot to also rename the category... Next time I'll remember, thanks for telling me ^_^ --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 18:36, 17 September 2018 (EDT)
== Crash's crappy wikia ==
I will always love this "overthinking video game biology" thing in the Flytrap article's trivia:<br>
"How the purple water-variant of the Venus Fly Trap has survived is a mystery, expending energy to open and clamp the jaws every 3 seconds would quickly be evolved out."<br>

:This is hilariously bad, I love it xD (Hopefully, if a new Crash Wiki is made, this kind of thing won't be included :p) --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 17:55, April 25, 2019 (EDT)
== I replaced an image that is used on your sandbox ==
Hello, I have replaced [[:File:Bowserbattlesmg2.jpg]] (which is used on your sandbox) with [[:File:Bowser's Gravity Boss.png]]. I just wanted to let you know because the old image has been deleted, so you may want to change to the new one. Also, {{User|Trig Jegman}} moved [[:File:The-gigantic-bowser.JPG]] to [[:File:SMG2 Super Bowser Intro.jpg]]. (I will also probably replace that image sometime in the next few weeks.) --{{User:Supermariofan67/sig}} 16:13, June 14, 2019 (EDT)
:Okay, that's good to know, thanks! I don't really mind if images used on my sandbox are replaced with other ones and they become just red links, because this is just a sandbox page I use to remember templates and (sometimes) put articles that I didn't agree with them being removed (like the Kong Family page). Thanks for telling me though ^_^ --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 17:27, June 15, 2019 (EDT)
::I have also moved an image linked on your user page: File:New Nintendo 2DS XL - Front.png to File:New Nintendo 2DS XL Black and Turquoise.png. --{{User:Supermariofan67/sig}} 14:35, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
:::Again, thank you for telling me, but you don't have to tell me everytime. I don't mind if some pictures I use become red links. Thank you for changing files to better named ones though ^_^ --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 17:07, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
== Big Bug ==
I really don't think "Big Bug" is intended to be the insect's specific name. I think it's just a way to alliterate the minigame title (like what is commonly done with RareWare things and Party game minigames). If anything, it should be fly. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:19, December 14, 2019 (EST)
:I mean the minigame [[Beaver Bother]] calls the Gnawties "[[Beaver]]s", and the name redirects to the Gnawty page. So with that logic, the name of these flies should be "Big Bugs", with "Flies" as a secondary name due to the Nintendo website calling them that. --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 00:26, December 14, 2019 (EST)
::The game only calls them "beavers" to alliterate too. The instruction manual called them by their proper name. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:34, December 14, 2019 (EST)
:::So then a name given in-game is not good enough, because it's used in a minigame name? Gnawties still use the name Beaver in the minigame, and the name is mentionned in the Gnawty article and is a redirect to the Gnawty page, so why would Big Bug be any different from that? --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 00:44, December 14, 2019 (EST)
::::OK, for example, take the Mario Party Minigame [[Apes of Wrath]]. The monkeys' name isn't actually "ape," it's "Ukiki." It's just to make a play on words. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:51, December 14, 2019 (EST)
:::::Hmm, true I guess... I still think "Big Bug" is a more unique name than "Fly (Donkey Kong 64)", since DK64 characters/enemies usually don't really have original names at all, but yeah that's still a good point. So should it be changed to "Flies[1], also known as Big Bugs, are..."? What do you think? --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 00:58, December 14, 2019 (EST)
::::::I'd say just fly. "Big bug" isn't a name, it's part of a minigame title, and even if it was intended to act as a name for them there's no telling whether "big" would even be a part of it. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:59, December 14, 2019 (EST)
:Okay, you win then. You can change the name of the page if you want to. I still think Big Bug should be mentionned though, since we do mention on the wiki that Gnawties are also known as Beavers. --[[User:Metalex123|Metalex123]] ([[User talk:Metalex123|talk]]) 01:02, December 14, 2019 (EST)
::And we only do that because of the incompetently-written PRIMA guide, not the minigame name. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 01:16, December 14, 2019 (EST)
== Hi ==
If you want to know why do I reference the ''Link’s Awakening'' shoplifting on discord so much, your original comment of “stop shoplifting and people won’t call you THIEF then” was taken seriously by me like you were suggesting that we should stop shoplifting.
I carried it over more than I needed to, but I took your feedback seriously
