Talk:Dark Land: Difference between revisions

==Revert the SMB3 worlds to their "Land" names==

There have been multiple re-releases of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' since ''Super Mario Advance 4'' - ''Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition'' and Virtual Console releases. According to [[MarioWiki:Naming|Naming]], the most common recent name is the one used for the article, which right now would make it the set used in the Wii U release. As far as English releases go (to the best of my knowledge), the Virtual Console versions are based on the revision copy and thus have been consistently reinforcing the "Land" names over the more unique ones. They are the most currently widespread releases and seemingly Nintendo's preferred modern-day method of redistribution. Some might say that the goal of Virtual Console is to represent an unaltered emulation; however, there are cases where Nintendo personally makes minor-to-moderate adjustments to the title for Virtual Console (in fact, this led to the names of [[Goombo|Chibibo]], [[Bombshell Koopa|Nokobon]] and [[Bullet Biff|Gira]] to change when ''Super Mario Land'' was re-released on the 3DS Virtual Console, indicating that it certainly counts as valid when factoring recent sources). For all intents and purposes, the "Land" names are indeed the current ones, with [[Grass Land]] being the only constant; if passed, the affected pages would be [[Desert Hill|Desert Land]], [[Sea Side|Water Land]], [[Big Island|Giant Land]], [[The Sky|Sky Land]], [[Iced Land|Ice Land]], [[Pipe Maze|Pipe Land]], and [[Bowser's Castle (world)|Dark Land]].
