== Re: Arms/Tentacles ==
== If someone gets blocked on another wikipedia, then does it mean that they get blocked on other wikis too? ==
 
In cephalopods, "tentacle" refers solely to the paired long appendages on squid that have a leaf-shaped area with spikes or suction cups on the ends of a long, cupless line. "Arm" refers to the shorter, triangular appendages with suction cups covering the entire bottom side that all cephalopods have. Octopuses have 8 arms and 0 tentacles, and squid have 8 or 10 arms, depending on exact species, and 2 tentacles.

== MVDK Last Two Expert Levels ==
 
I saw you were having a little trouble with the last two expert levels in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. I don't own the game myself, but did you complete the first ten expert levels (collect all presents and beat all high scores)? If not, perhaps that might be the reason they weren't unlocked. {{User:LuigiMaster123/sig}} 00:53, 13 April 2018 (EDT)
:Yeah, I haven't beaten any of the Expert levels yet, so that may be it. I'm dumb and forgot there were Presents in those levels, so collecting all Presents could still be a requirement. Doesn't look like there are any high scores to beat, though, so that's good! {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:09, 13 April 2018 (EDT)
 
== Grrrols ==
 
Grrrols and Thwomps are strikingly similar when placed [[Talk:Grrrol#Regarding the above|side-by-side]]..... [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:40, 13 April 2018 (EDT)
 
== Level images ==
 
[[File:MVDK 3-6 2.png|frame]]
I don't think the level selection screenshots are better. I expressly chose screenshots that encapsulate the basic elements and atmosphere of their worlds; the screenshot on the right, for example, has hanging chains, lava, and flame-throwing Shy Guys, just what's highly representative for Fire Mountain and gives the player a direct idea about it. Besides, the level menus look repetitive to me, and the article really should show more of the game itself. I hope you understand. -- {{User:Super Radio/Sig}} 15:42, 14 April 2018 (EDT)

== Rocky Wrench ==
 
Why can a [[Sea Bakky|sea slug]] be derived from a [[Bakky|bat]] and an [[Octoomba|alien octopus]] be derived from a [[Goomba|shiitake]] it looks nothing like, but a [[Monty Mole|mole]] cannot be derived from the [[Rocky Wrench|turtle/mole that now seems to be just mole]] that it was named after and that came before it? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:31, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
:Who knows. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:21, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
::The point is if it works for all of them, it should work here too, otherwise there's ''arbitrariness'' going on. As Link-The-Lefty pointed out, ''Choropoo'' seems to mean "''Poo'' that darts around" (as stupid as that sounds in English...) Hence, it is named to be a specific variation of ''Poo'', and variations of previous things are, by definition, derivative. Hence, Monty Mole is derivative of Rocky Wrench, according to official nomenclature, and saying otherwise is defying said official nomenclature. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:20, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
:::I've rebutted your expanded response, <small>which hilariously enough seems to have used my own words</small>. Anyways, your response still seems to hinge on "derived" being biological, which it is not. It means "based upon." The designers were pretty obviously going for a variant thereof, a thing that players would connect to a thing they'd seen before, as the name doesn't just hint, but ultimately proves beyond any doubt at all. The name ''Choropoo'' is basically "Scuttling Rocky Wrench." And the current infobox layout says that "Rocky Wrench" was initially based off of the "Scuttling Rocky Wrench" which came three years later, which makes no sense whatsoever. EDIT: And I see you responded. As have I, as have I. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 22:09, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
::::I agree that there is definitely some confliction of information here, or lack of information altogether, but I don't believe a proposal was the right course of action here without any real definitive proof to back the claim. As I said, the Japanese name is a start, but I don't think it is enough to solidify anything. If there is an official bio somewhere, Japanese or English or otherwise, then ''that'' would be enough. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:14, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
:::::I'd say there's about as much as [[Buzzy Beetle]] and [[Magmus]]. One's a turtle, the other's some sort of rock thing (that appears to have ''eight'' feet, take that SMW Spike Top!) that has a Japanese name that says it's a Buzzy. They also tend to be listed together, like on that Japanese SM3DL .pdf, where ''Choropoo'', ''Goropoo'', and ''Poo'' were all listed together (with ''Poo'' additionally being ''away'' from the main ''Kame'' on the list, ''Nokonoko''). Then there's the fact that they share models in all recent 3D games featuring both... [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 22:21, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
::::::Do you have a link to the Japanese 3D Land pdf? That might be something to look into. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:23, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
:::::::I've posted it a few times. I misremembered something too: Rocky is fairly well distanced from ''five'' Koopas, which are on the opposite page; Spiny is the only "close" one. Anyways, I've checked, and the word "''Choropoo''" never comes up in ''Poo''{{'}}s description, so it's probably not a variant of it...anyways, here it is again: [http://www.21010.net/club/bn/3ds/arej/pdf/p018_019.pdf] [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 22:26, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
::::::::So Mario jc translated it for me (because I suck at Japanese :P) and yeah, the two don't reference each other. The names are similar, as are the appearances of the two, but I would still prefer ''some kind'' of official statement between the relations. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:59, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
:::::::::Y'all might be askin' a tad much, there. Pretty sure there's no official statement regarding [[Para-Goomba (Mario Clash)|this enemy]]'s relation to [[Flying Goomba|this one]], [[Galoomba|this one]], or [[Goomba|this one]], but it's pretty obviously there. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 23:14, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
::::::::::The major reason why I'm asking for an official statement is because of Rocky Wrench's redesign, making it now resemble a Monty Mole. It may share a name and design ''now'', but that wasn't always the case. I'm looking, but I'm not finding a statement, so until one is provided or I find one on my own, we're at an impasse. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:19, 17 April 2018 (EDT)
:::::::::::{{media link|Rocky wrench.jpg|Slight}} {{media link|SMBD page 60.png|resemblance}} from the get-go.

== Re: Userspace ==
 
Okay, you got me there. Rules are rules, and I missed that one. Quoting directly from the rules is not nitpicking at all, and it would be ridiculous of me to suggest that.
 
But before you go ahead and delete the subpages, I would like to point out a few things. I have also <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3APorplemontage&type=revision&diff=2430271&oldid=2427932 notified Steve]</span>, since he is the authority on what I am discussing.
 
#Creating new pages has ''barely any'' overhead, especially considering that Mediawiki stores every previous revision of a page. Based on the [[Special:Export|export]] XML, creating a new page only has the additional fields <code>title</code>, <code>ns</code>, and <code>id</code> (but there are probably a few others.)
#Database memory is '''not''' being saved by deleting pages. ''The page is still saved in the database, and can be restored at any time.'' Of course, you could always pursue permanent deletion if you really wanted to save memory, but this is not a standard handling procedure for normal page deletion.
#And perhaps most importantly, this particular rule was <span class="plainlinks">[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki:Userspace&diff=prev&oldid=1174360 added as a minor edit] without any discussion that I can find. I do not think the ramifications of this particular rule were carefully considered.
 
The main things the user page rules are trying to be prevented are spam and using userpages as a personal repository for non Mariowiki-related things. The only reason I can think of for this rule is a fear of userspace rules evasion through overflow with an extremely large number of pages. But that's what patrollers are for: edits by non-trusted users are ''specifically reviewed'' to ensure rules aren't broken.
 
If there's no other problems arising from this, then it's just a difference in personal preference. While I could put everything on my main user page (<span class="plainlinks">[https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User%3AThe_Retro_Gamer&type=revision&diff=2430253&oldid=2430212 very easily]</span>), I want the edit history of sections to be individually preserved in a cohesive way. I see no reason to dilute these edits into one stream if there's little overhead from creating new pages. [[User:The Retro Gamer|<span style="color:red;">--The</span>]] [[User talk:The Retro Gamer|<span style="color:green;">Retro</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/The Retro Gamer|<span style="color:blue;">Gamer</span>]] 21:29, 27 April 2018 (EDT)
 
:My main contention is that you haven't really given a clear reason for the rule. If there's an admin forum board, you should ask there if you can quote from it regarding this rule.
 
:The only explanation you've really added to the discussion is "It's to prevent several pages that serve no purpose to the wiki other than personal records." But carried to its logical extreme, that would mean every previous revision of everyone's userpage should be deleted, since they "serve no purpose to the wiki other than personal records". It's not that I have any huge problem with this rule, but I feel like you're not addressing my actual point, which can be distilled down to ''what's the difference between page revisions and new pages?'' Presumably it's a maintenance issue of some kind?

::Ah, so the real goal is to decrease the number of userpage edits, or rather to ensure that a user is generally productive on the wiki rather than obseessed with their userspace. But I disagree with this pure edit number bean counting. The problem is, table formatting can be a a tricky thing, and many edits are necessary to ensure the tables are properly tested and tweaked to perfection. Of course, the templates are a whole other issue, and perhaps they do not contribute towards the final vision of the page, but it all has a content (''presentational'') oriented goal in mind. I could balance my edit count out by fixing grammar on many random pages, but I'm currently pursuing how to best present the ''DKC'' information.

:::Allow me to clarify: ''CSS'' table formatting can be tricky. The original wikitable CSS is ridiculously element specific (making it difficult to override inline), and instead of replacing it, I tried to supplement and override it with <code>dktable-brown</code>. I have now corrected that mistep, though more tweaking is needed for optimal control. Also, see my most recent comment to [[User talk:Porplemontage]] (though you probably already saw it in [[Special:RecentChanges]]).

::::We're kind of in an awkward position here. I would prefer to keep the user subpages, the rules are against. Obviously, you have the full authority to delete them at any point, but it seems the lack of discussion resolution would make that a bit awkward.
 
::::I think it would be useful to discuss this further:
 
<blockquote class="talkquote">You are allowed to have a userpage so editors, and sometimes readers, can get to know you better. But the excessiveness of user subpages that could very easily just be included on your main userpage is just largely, and I know I've used this a lot recently, unnecessary. The main reason is that userspace edits are supposed to come second to mainspace edits. Having your personal lists and information on one page can help reduce the number of edits you make to your userspace; having them each on separate pages would increase those edits. So, yeah, it would be a maintenance reason, to keep edits of userspace pages to a minimum.</blockquote>
 
::::One issue I think needs further discussion is the notion of edit counts. Edit counts are in some ways a worthless metric because they don't tell one the substance or context of those edits. One can always encourage less edits, but that doesn't mean that strategy will be the most productive way to edit. My ultimate goal when editing is not to minimize the number of edits, but to minimize the amount of ''time'' I spend editing any particular thing. In many cases, reducing the number of edits will reduce the amount of time, but sometimes many edits are necessary to quickly preview a change, particularly to preview CSS: CSS output can't be seen without saving the change to the CSS and going to another page. Generally also, I think the management of userspace edits beyond what is deemed actively harmful or sufficiently off-topic is a dangerous direction to go with the rules. Because you're not really encouraging more productivity by doing this, you're just throwing a monkey wrench into my flow.
 
::::I also think you should avoid the "I don't see a reason" and "unnecessary" arguments, because they seem to suggest your opinion of how to manage my userspace should have greater weight than my own. ''I'' do see a reason. Saying something is unnecessary isn't a strong argument for ''not'' doing something. I do not think continuing to bring those arguments will further the discussion.
 
::::Basically I guess my argument boils down to: If I find the subpages useful (or think it may have potential to be useful), and it's not harmful to the wiki, what's the problem with allowing me to manage them in the way I want? I think this will come down to the definition of "harmful", though.

:::::Preference and rules are 2 separate areas: I have made my preference clear, but in this power relationship, I am a user and the rules have already been established, so obviously they will have precedence. Disagreeing with a rule doesn't mean I won't follow it.
 
:::::I'm not ignoring the rules. Nowhere in the rules does it says a user must nominate their own pages for deletion if they're in violation of the rules. It is up to ''your'' discretion whether to delete or delay deletion, since you are the active admin involved in this issue.

::::::You have not slacked; you made a earlier judgement call not to delete immediately. This had its benefits and downsides: as a benefit, we were able to delve further into the rationales for the rule, which was useful for me. Perhaps a better approach would been an initially firm message telling me you would delete the subpages soon (and then deleting them after I acknowledged the message), but still being open to discussion.
 
::::::As you have said, the more proper procedure to formally dispute rules is proposals, not talk pages (though talk page discussions can help to clarify). I have no problem with rules, I do personally prefer to understand the reasons for the rules, but that does not change your job to enforce the rules as an admin. I'm sorry if this has been disruptive; I had no intention of disruption if it was. There are no hard feelings.

== Re: Mario Party 64DD ==
 
Keep in mind that I don't own a Nintendo 64, 64DD or even Mario Party (the first one in the series) for that matter, so I'm not saying I know everything, but after doing some research (view the links below for additional information), it appears that Mario Party (NTSC-J/PAL) behaves differently than other non-64DD compatible Nintendo 64 games when plugged into the Nintendo 64 (NTSC-J/PAL) when the 64DD (NTSC-J) is plugged in as well.
 
*Error Code #31 is suppose to imply a "Disk Access Error. Please see the Instruction Booklet. Please press Reset." screen. Which is the screen you get when you boot up Mario Party (PAL) into the Nintendo 64 (PAL) alongside the 64DD (NTSC-J) plugged in when a GameShark cartridge is plugged in as well. Keep in mind that there are many Error Codes depending on both the console's and game's region, and if any other additional accessories are plugged in as well, in this case a GameShark cartridge.
*For example, if you put the Mario Party (NTSC-J) into the Nintendo 64 (NTSC-J) alongside the 64DD (NTSC-J) plugged in, you'll get a Error Code #44 and a "Please replace with correct Disk. Please see the Instruction Booklet. Please press Reset." screen.
*If you put the Mario Party (PAL) into the Nintendo 64 (PAL) alongside the 64DD (NTSC-J) plugged in, you'll get the same Error Code #44 and message just like the Nintendo 64 (NTSC-J) with 64DD (NTSC-J) did, which most other Nintendo 64 games don't do when plugged in the Nintendo 64 alongside the 64DD rather just simply have a blank screen, which both Mario Party (NTSC-J) and Mario Party (PAL) don't do, implying that the 64DD (NTSC-J) is trying to find a disk for Mario Party (NTSC-J) and Mario Party (PAL).
*Though if you put the Mario Party (NTSC-U) into the Nintendo 64 alongside the 64DD (NTSC-J) plugged in, you'll get a blank screen unfortunately, implying that Mario Party (NTSC-U) either works only on a Nintendo 64 (NTSC-U) and 64DD (NTSC-U, which YouTuber Metal Jesus Rocks owns) or lacks the coding to register it all together if it was scraped early in its development. And a blank screen is what you normally get if a Nintendo 64 game isn't compatible with the 64DD (NTSC-J).
 
Not to mention the fact that Mario Party's code is NUS-CLBE-USA, which is different than other regular Nintendo 64 games (though there are exceptions), with other 64DD games such as Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros. having codes like NUS-NKTE-USA and NUS-NALE-USA respectively. While games like F-Zero X and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (which both have and had plans to be 64DD compatible respectively) have codes like NUS-CFZE-USA and NUS-CZLE-USA respectively, very similar to what a typical 64DD compatible game would be like. So it appears that Mario Party 2 would've originally been an expansion disk (likely called Mario Party Expansion Kit or something) to the original Mario Party, but because the 64DD failed, Nintendo decided to make Mario Party 2 instead of it being an expansion disk or even making more than a single expansion disk to Mario Party itself. That could explain why Mario Party 2 was released roughly 11 months after Mario Party. --[[User:Jjrapper100|Jjrapper100]] ([[User talk:Jjrapper100|talk]]) 20:16, 15 May 2018 (EDT)

::Supposedly yes, but only for the NTSC-J and PAL versions of Mario Party, which still load up even when a 64DD (NTSC-J) is plugged into the Nintendo 64 as well, showing an Error #44 screen asking to insert the appropriate disk instead of just a blank screen when doing so with the NTSC-U version of Mario Party when a 64DD (NTSC-J) is plugged into the Nintendo 64.

== Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Statistics ==
== Help wanted: rewriting articles ==


Hello. I know that you and another member have been reverting my edits about changing the code names used in [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe in-game statistics]]. I would like to know why these edits were reversed since there is nothing else on the page that uses the code names. For example, all of the Kart parts which do have different names in the code, yet they all use their English names. Also, at the time, the statistics for Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U page had the Characters's English Names rather than their code names until the edit war, so it would seem logical to reverse it. Also, why would the Character's code be useful anyway? Especially compared to the English names. I am rather new to Mario Wiki and I do not intend on causing edit wars, drama, spamming etc. I do want to help but please may I ask why it was reversed since I am still unsure why the codenames are used. I would be most grateful if I can be told why. Thank You. [[Special:Contributions/79.67.209.35|79.67.209.35]] 17:35, 5 June 2018 (EDT)
I found some errors on [[MarioWiki:Glossary]]. What's in bold is how I believe the text should be corrected.
* "A device that allows players to cheat in '''a game''' by accessing the game's code."
* "Also used as an umbrella term for all the promoted ranks (sysops, patrollers''',''' and bureaucrats)."
*"Their contributions are attributed to their IP address'''es themselves''', rather than '''unique usernames'''."
* "On forums, avatars are simply the picture or icon that users display on their '''profiles'''."
* "A restriction imposed upon a sockpuppet or severely misbehaving user by an '''a'''dministrator that prevents them from editing the database."

* "An extension to HTML to allow styles '''('''e.g.''', color''', font, '''and''' size''')''' to be specified for certain elements of a hypertext document."
* "A programming error in a video game that results in unintended '''behavior''', ranging from characters falling through solid objects or otherwise defying proper gameplay, to game freezes and the corruption or loss of saved data."
* "In some platformer games, there '''is''' a certain '''number''' of lives that the player has."
* "When the information from two or more articles '''is''' combined into a single page."
* "An edit that doesn't really change the content of a page, but rather, fixes small details or mistakes, and other such maintenance work." (Remove commas.)
* "This can happen when subjects are renamed over the course of the Mario series itself, or when a more appropriate and/or useful name is discovered, revealed''',''' or suggested."
* "In this wiki, the abbreviation denotes generally the North and South American versions of games for the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube''',''' or Wii, but can also include South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. These versions come into play mainly for region locking, although minor gameplay and localization differences may exist between NTSC and its European/Australian counterpart, PAL''',''' versions."
* "In this wiki, the abbreviation denotes generally the European and Australian version of games for the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube''',''' or Wii."
* "Used before a username/a group of users (i.e.''',''' "Per X", or "Per all") to indicate that the person agrees with that/those user(s). Used in voting for Featured Articles, Proposals, etc. Etymologically, "per" is Latin for "through", so literally, the voter is expressing their opinion through the other user(s)." (Remove comma after "Per X"; un-italicize "per" after "Etymologically.")
*"A wiki link where the displayed text is different '''from''' the article it leads to. Example: [[Mario (franchise)|Mario]] shows up as Mario, but actually links to the Mario (franchise) page." (Remove comma.)
* "This also includes altering the text (such as making the switch from active to passive, e.g.''',''' 'Mario stomped on the Goomba' to 'The Goomba was stomped by Mario.')."
* "For example, in Luigi's Mansion 3, after '''the player goes''' through the door in the back of the Main Observation Room, the rest of The Last Resort becomes inaccessible and the player's only option is to climb to the Rooftop and face King Boo." (This fixes a dangling modifier.)
* "In Super Smash Bros. games, the term refers '''to either''' reducing one's damage percentage or returning to the stage after being attacked or falling."
* "Short for Role Playing Game." (Add quotation marks around "Role Playing Game.")
*"A work of fiction (book, game, etc.) that continues the story or otherwise builds upon a '''previously released''' work."
* "A user's name or a design that includes the name, which '''a user puts''' below or after their comments on talk pages to show that they were the one who wrote said comment."

==Sentence structure==
This sentence has been like this on [[Aces High]] since near the page's creation: "The only way the player can get rid of the following Bullet Bill is to do an off-course and get rid of it." Do you think you can make the sentence sound better? I asked Mario jc this a few days ago, but he didn't reply. Do you have an answer to my question? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 17:04, July 5, 2021 (EDT)
:I think by "off-course", it means the player has to flying into the course's barrier, which will make them do an immediate U-Turn. The action would result in the Bullet Bill flying past them. I haven't played ''MP3'' in a long time, but that's how I'm understanding it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:37, July 6, 2021 (EDT)
::Mario jc did reply to my question, saying, "Maybe it can be changed to 'The only way the player can evade a Bullet Bill pursuing them is to veer away from its trajectory.' but this is based on footage I watched since I don't own the game." Now I'm wondering whether the sentence is referring to how a player can get rid of a Bullet Bill he or she launched or how a player can avoid it, the former sounding more likely. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 01:11, July 6, 2021 (EDT)
::Maybe I misinterpreted "following Bullet Bill" as meaning the first Bullet Bill that a player launches. [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 01:41, July 6, 2021 (EDT)
:::I think "following Bullet Bill" is referring the the Bullet Bill that is going after a player. I think this might work: "If being chased by a Bullet Bill, the player needs to head toward the arena's barrier, which will cause them to automatically turn around and make the Bullet Bill miss." Someone with ''MP3'' should verify, however. If only there was some kind of retro digital service Nintendo could've put this game on... {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:36, July 6, 2021 (EDT)

== RE:Identifier ==
==Theme from a Summer's Place reference in the music for Deep Bloober Sea==
Hi again, I've come back to tell you that the music for Deep Bloober Sea in Mario Party 3 has a reference to Theme from a Summer's Place like Shy Guy Beach and Cheep-Cheep Island from Mario Kart Super Circuit which i've heard through comments on YouTube. [[User:MarioKartFan4863927|MarioKartFan4863927]] 18:05, October 4, 2021 (EST)


Actually, no, the policy says nothing that says the identifiers in this scenario are acceptable; maybe the same type of thing in the same game, but not this. Additionally, the "(bear)" identifier (and other cases like the [[Herman]] disambiguation page) are the exact reasons I disagree with you. Even if DKC3's Boomer ''is'' a bear to some extent, it's not like it's confirmed that he's a bear. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 19:19, 7 June 2018 (EDT)
== Why would you ban me from your own discord? ==
:For all we know, he could be another animal in disguise. Also, since "bear" is a generic subject, I'm a bit hesitant to have that be the identifier. Lastly, I think you might have the wrong idea (no offense); even if they're different types of characters, it's worth noting that A. the "different types" clause usually only applies to sporting arenas, and B. the [[Herman]] scenario makes your argument a bit more contentious.


:At this point, I would suggest starting a larger discussion concerning this. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 19:51, 7 June 2018 (EDT)
When you welcomed me and I never caused trouble?
::Interesting... I don't see anything supporting your argument in [[Piranha Plant (disambiguation)]]. If you were referring to [[Piranha Plant (potted)]], that's because it appears in multiple series, and the games (''Super Mario 3D World'' especially) treat its type interchangeably anyways, making it similar to the [[Spiny Shell]] case; i.e., it's normally an item, but in ''Super Mario 3D World'', it behaves like an obstacle when it's not used, and is defeated like a regular enemy. Also, I don't understand your counterargument with Herman; I wasn't talking about Smirch, but rather the other two characters named Herman, as they appear in the '''television series''', not the comics. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 20:13, 7 June 2018 (EDT)

:Yep! Hooray! {{User:Alex95/sig}} 01:36, 11 June 2018 (EDT)
To explain in short before other users question the reason, Alex95 is banned due to a sitewide consensus on our Discord channel: he had been asking large sums of money from multiple community members, and while he likely not directly involved with the alleged fraud that may have happened, he was still heavily complicit in his situation and we are banning him for the general safety of the community. He has also admitted that he shared his account with a third party who may have involved with the alleged fraud. Due to that, his ranks have additionally been stripped. He is [https://www.marioboards.com/members/5162/ additionally banned] on the forum and on our Discord. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 01:20, April 3, 2022 (EDT)

RULES
  1. Standard Mario Wiki rules apply, of course. No spamming, trolling, vandalizing, removing comments, etc. Please follow the rules, your comment will get removed otherwise. You don't have to sign your comments here, but it'll make it easier for me to get back to you if you do.
  2. No swearing or obscenity. These words will get edited out ASAP.
  3. Please don't ask why I reverted or corrected your edit. Usually, I have a good reason and can back it up. Take a look at my contributions or the page history for more information regarding your edit, if available. If you must, you can ask for clarification, but only if you provide more than "Why did you delete my edit?!" (which will get removed).
  4. Questions about my Power Master games and/or YouTube videos are fine. There are other places for those kinds of talk, of course, but I don't mind them on here.
  5. Any questions relating to a different wiki, please post on my talk page there. If you're here to complain about a block I gave you on other wikis, your comment will be removed, though I may clarify a block on Discord if needed. Though if you need my immediate attention elsewhere, you can notify me here (or Discord), as I'm more active here than anywhere else.
  6. I'm a friendly guy and am willing to engage in friendly conversation, so long as the sections don't become too excessive. If a topic header already exists for your question, please post under that.
  7. I will archive once this talk page reaches 200 messages. Please do not make any message telling me to archive. It's a waste of a notification, and it will be removed.
  8. Unless it's an important response you should know about or if I started the conversation on your page, I will respond here.
  9. I welcome friendship, but only if I know you well enough.
  10. I'm all for helping with games, so long as I own it or the guide! Otherwise, I probably won't be able to help much.

If someone gets blocked on another wikipedia, then does it mean that they get blocked on other wikis too?[edit]

If someone gets blocked on another wiki, than does it mean that they get blocked on other wikis too? This does not include fandoms (ones like mario.fandom.com. spongebob.fandom.com the 2 gone tantrum.fandom.com and other ones too. 107.146.244.150 15:20, June 1, 2021 (EDT)

Not usually. If you get blocked here, you won't get blocked on SmashWiki, for example. Unless you did something very wrong.
"tantrum.fandom", sheesh. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 19:30, June 1, 2021 (EDT)

OK. 107.146.244.150 20:49, June 1, 2021 (EDT)

I had also submitted a Do you like SpongeBob poll yesterday? and I hope it gets selected as the next poll. 107.146.244.150 18:43, June 2, 2021 (EDT)

Has nothing to with Mario or the wiki, so I doubt it. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 19:21, June 2, 2021 (EDT)

I also remember submitting a poll to the wiki about do you think Nintendo will celebrate The Legend of Zelda's 35th Anniversary but it got declined. I was not happy. 107.146.244.150 15:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

OK. 107.146.244.150 15:40, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

Bowser Castle music (Mario Kart DS)[edit]

Hi, I've come back to tell you something regarding the Bowser Castle music from Mario Kart DS is that it used a sample from the Michael Jackson song Black or White. I found that on the spreadsheet which i have told you about many times. MarioKartFan4863927 14:47, June 6, 2021 (EST)

Honestly complete forgot about that spreadsheet, but what's your examples? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:35, June 6, 2021 (EDT)

Mainly the Mario Kart ones. So are you gonna edit the DS Bowser Castle race course page to add the information that i've just told you and by the way, here's the spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JJBlHHDc65fhZmKUGLrDTLCm6rfUU83-kbuD8Y0zU0o/edit?pli=1#gid=717751203). MarioKartFan4863927 19:02, June 7, 2021 (EST)

Will look more into it later. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:05, June 7, 2021 (EDT)

Ok. MarioKartFan4863927 16:15, June 8, 2021 (EST)

I listened to both MKDS's Bowser Castle and Michael Jackson's Black or White, and they don't sound at all the same to me. Bowser Castle is actually a slowed down remix of the Airship Fortress theme at times. If there are specific points in the soundtracks you are referring to, point me to them, but I'm pretty sure any connections are coincidental. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:47, June 8, 2021 (EDT)

If you look on the spreadsheet, The song "Black or White" is listed under Mario Kart DS as a sample not a remix. MarioKartFan4863927 16:28, June 9, 2021 (EST)

I looked at timestamp 0:57. Not hearing it. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 15:35, June 9, 2021 (EDT)

Help wanted: rewriting articles[edit]

I found some errors on MarioWiki:Glossary. What's in bold is how I believe the text should be corrected.

  • "A device that allows players to cheat in a game by accessing the game's code."
  • "Also used as an umbrella term for all the promoted ranks (sysops, patrollers, and bureaucrats)."
  • "Their contributions are attributed to their IP addresses themselves, rather than unique usernames."
  • "On forums, avatars are simply the picture or icon that users display on their profiles."
  • "A restriction imposed upon a sockpuppet or severely misbehaving user by an administrator that prevents them from editing the database."
  • "Users that are run by automated scripts and/or programs to carry out mundane and repetitive tasks."
  • "E.g., 'There's a bug in the editor: it writes things out backward.'"
  • "Most often applied to processor-memory access but also used for a local copy of data accessible over a network, etc."
  • "A brief appearance of a character, species, or item in a medium (a game, movie, comic, etc.) other than the one it originated in."
  • "An extension to HTML to allow styles (e.g., color, font, and size) to be specified for certain elements of a hypertext document."
  • "A programming error in a video game that results in unintended behavior, ranging from characters falling through solid objects or otherwise defying proper gameplay, to game freezes and the corruption or loss of saved data."
  • "In some platformer games, there is a certain number of lives that the player has."
  • "When the information from two or more articles is combined into a single page."
  • "An edit that doesn't really change the content of a page, but rather, fixes small details or mistakes, and other such maintenance work." (Remove commas.)
  • "This can happen when subjects are renamed over the course of the Mario series itself, or when a more appropriate and/or useful name is discovered, revealed, or suggested."
  • "In this wiki, the abbreviation denotes generally the North and South American versions of games for the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, or Wii, but can also include South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. These versions come into play mainly for region locking, although minor gameplay and localization differences may exist between NTSC and its European/Australian counterpart, PAL, versions."
  • "In this wiki, the abbreviation denotes generally the European and Australian version of games for the NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, or Wii."
  • "Used before a username/a group of users (i.e., "Per X", or "Per all") to indicate that the person agrees with that/those user(s). Used in voting for Featured Articles, Proposals, etc. Etymologically, "per" is Latin for "through", so literally, the voter is expressing their opinion through the other user(s)." (Remove comma after "Per X"; un-italicize "per" after "Etymologically.")
  • "A wiki link where the displayed text is different from the article it leads to. Example: Mario shows up as Mario, but actually links to the Mario (franchise) page." (Remove comma.)
  • "This also includes altering the text (such as making the switch from active to passive, e.g., 'Mario stomped on the Goomba' to 'The Goomba was stomped by Mario.')."
  • "For example, in Luigi's Mansion 3, after the player goes through the door in the back of the Main Observation Room, the rest of The Last Resort becomes inaccessible and the player's only option is to climb to the Rooftop and face King Boo." (This fixes a dangling modifier.)
  • "In Super Smash Bros. games, the term refers to either reducing one's damage percentage or returning to the stage after being attacked or falling."
  • "Short for Role Playing Game." (Add quotation marks around "Role Playing Game.")
  • "A work of fiction (book, game, etc.) that continues the story or otherwise builds upon a previously released work."
  • "A user's name or a design that includes the name, which a user puts below or after their comments on talk pages to show that they were the one who wrote said comment."
  • "Spin-off or spinoff" (This is just another spelling, not a correction.)
  • "A game that has other gameplay types rather than the usual gameplay type it has (e.g., Mario Tennis, Mario Kart)."
  • "A file type that, unlike raster formats (PNG, JPEG, GIF), is comprised of vectors (shapes), rather than pixels."

Changed what I thought needed changing. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:35, June 10, 2021 (EDT),
In this phrase, is "actually" meant to be italicized? "A system of classification that separates official media products from unofficial media products and official but disowned works, therefore determining which characters, locations, events, etc. 'actually' exist in a series' fictional universe." Dwhitney (talk) 18:16, June 10, 2021 (EDT)
No, I don't think so. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:22, June 10, 2021 (EDT)

Here are more errors I found on MarioWiki:Good writing. What's in bold is how I believe the text should be corrected.

  • "However, there are a few issues that frequently come up with the writing."
  • In the "Bad writing" section, after "Summaries that aren't," "Pseudo-walkthroughs," "Padding," "Mario mania," "Everything but the kitchen sink," "Captain Obvious," "Flowery writing," "Epic writing," "Gridmark," "Reading between the lines," "Unsupported analysis," "Judgement calls," "Knitting everything together," "Fan worship," and "Fusing gameplay and story elements," change the hyphen to an en dash.
  • ""Peach is kidnapped by Bowser and Mario sets off to rescue her." is plot. "Mario traversed the grassy plains of World 1 and used Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and rare Invincibility Stars to defeat new foes and challenge the False Bowser waiting for him at the castle." is not plot. It's cruft." Dwhitney (talk) 16:30, June 20, 2021 (EDT)

Here are more errors I found on MarioWiki:Glossary. What's in bold is how I believe the text should be corrected.

  • "the smallest unit of storage - sufficient to hold one bit." (Change the hyphen to an en dash.)
  • Since "bot" uses a plural definition, I think the word should be "bots."
  • "Cover version (often shortened to cover)" (Put the second "cover" in quotation marks.)
  • "Not to be confused with remix." (Put "remix" in quotation marks.)
  • "It is equivalent to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), from which all other time zones are offset."
  • "Not to be confused with cover version." (Put "cover version" in quotation marks.)
  • "Short for Stupid Pointless and Annoying Message." (Unitalicize "Stupid Pointless and Annoying Message" and put it in quotation marks, simply because other shortened forms on MarioWiki:Glossary are in quotation marks.) Dwhitney (talk) 23:19, July 23, 2021 (EDT)
When do you think you'll fix these errors? Dwhitney (talk) 18:57, July 28, 2021 (EDT)
I've been very busy, will do so when I can. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:43, July 29, 2021 (EDT)

Sentence structure[edit]

This sentence has been like this on Aces High since near the page's creation: "The only way the player can get rid of the following Bullet Bill is to do an off-course and get rid of it." Do you think you can make the sentence sound better? I asked Mario jc this a few days ago, but he didn't reply. Do you have an answer to my question? Dwhitney (talk) 17:04, July 5, 2021 (EDT)

I think by "off-course", it means the player has to flying into the course's barrier, which will make them do an immediate U-Turn. The action would result in the Bullet Bill flying past them. I haven't played MP3 in a long time, but that's how I'm understanding it. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 00:37, July 6, 2021 (EDT)
Mario jc did reply to my question, saying, "Maybe it can be changed to 'The only way the player can evade a Bullet Bill pursuing them is to veer away from its trajectory.' but this is based on footage I watched since I don't own the game." Now I'm wondering whether the sentence is referring to how a player can get rid of a Bullet Bill he or she launched or how a player can avoid it, the former sounding more likely. Dwhitney (talk) 01:11, July 6, 2021 (EDT)
Maybe I misinterpreted "following Bullet Bill" as meaning the first Bullet Bill that a player launches. Dwhitney (talk) 01:41, July 6, 2021 (EDT)
I think "following Bullet Bill" is referring the the Bullet Bill that is going after a player. I think this might work: "If being chased by a Bullet Bill, the player needs to head toward the arena's barrier, which will cause them to automatically turn around and make the Bullet Bill miss." Someone with MP3 should verify, however. If only there was some kind of retro digital service Nintendo could've put this game on... Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:36, July 6, 2021 (EDT)

What needs to be done.[edit]

I'm new here and I'm looking for something to do to help the wiki. GamerLover08 (talk) 09:41, July 22, 2021 (EDT)

Underwater[edit]

Hello! I'm planning to creating an article related to the underwater sections in Mario Kart courses. But I'm not sure that this article is required, as I'm afraid it might just get deleted. Can you give me some advice? Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 06:05, August 31, 2021

I don't think we accept stuff like that. We don't cover specific track segments as separate articles. But we have anti-gravity, so maybe it's worth making a talk page question about it on the main talk page or something? Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 21:48, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
If I can suggest something, water/swimming is a common mechanic throughout the Mario franchise that I think might be worth making an article for it, like lava and poison. Maybe a "Water" article can be created covering its appearances and effects in games, including the Mario Kart underwater sections.

Thanks for your opinions. I'll try something like that out. Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 22:17, August 31, 2021 (EDT)
Water is already something in Paper Mario, but yeah, a coverage like that would work. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 22:46, August 31, 2021 (EDT)

Theme from a Summer's Place reference in the music for Deep Bloober Sea[edit]

Hi again, I've come back to tell you that the music for Deep Bloober Sea in Mario Party 3 has a reference to Theme from a Summer's Place like Shy Guy Beach and Cheep-Cheep Island from Mario Kart Super Circuit which i've heard through comments on YouTube.

Cap Block[edit]

I did a proposal for Cap Block, but the result is "no consensus." In this situation, am I still free to create a Cap Block article? Dwhitney (talk) 12:58, December 16, 2021 (EST)

No. It'd be as if the proposal failed, i.e. nothing is going to happen. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 13:05, December 16, 2021 (EST)

Punctuation in reference tags[edit]

Remember our talk about this? I want to let you know that according to MarioWiki:Citations, "it's preferred to insert the <ref></ref> tag after any punctuation such as a comma or period." Dwhitney (talk) 15:19, December 26, 2021 (EST)

Ye, I'm aware. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 15:43, December 26, 2021 (EST)

404 page[edit]

Ye, I'm aware. Where it went ended up getting deleted, so I'm working on fixing that. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 14:34, January 5, 2022 (EST)

Spotlight[edit]

I would like to ask, weren't all of the spotlight goals except for Super Rush completed last month? Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 20:19, January 15, 2022 (EST)

It would look like they are. I guess they were finished after Yoshi876 posted an updated. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 21:48, January 18, 2022 (EST)
Due to this, will the paragraph of the Spotlight section be changed? Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 07:56, January 20, 2022 (EST)

Ban[edit]

To explain in short before other users question the reason, Alex95 is banned due to a sitewide consensus on our Discord channel: he had been asking large sums of money from multiple community members, and while he likely not directly involved with the alleged fraud that may have happened, he was still heavily complicit in his situation and we are banning him for the general safety of the community. He has also admitted that he shared his account with a third party who may have involved with the alleged fraud. Due to that, his ranks have additionally been stripped. He is additionally banned on the forum and on our Discord. BabyLuigiFire.pngRay Trace(T|C) 01:20, April 3, 2022 (EDT)

Would every NIWA wiki ban him as well?
