User talk:Somethingone

Feel free to message me whatever you want(as long as it follows MarioWiki:Courtesy of course)! This user will not "RE:" you if you message them. Microgame bugs Please can you give more detail and preferably a source about these microgames being "broken"? Nightwicked Bowser 17:17, March 19, 2021 (EDT) Sure Thing! S o m e t h i n g o n e ! 17:20, March 19, 2021 (EDT) The way you put those references in was not how we do it. You may want to see the corrections Ray Trace and Waluigi Time made for that. Nightwicked Bowser 17:24, March 19, 2021 (EDT) Ok i definetly will, thanks for the heads up! S o m e t h i n g o n e ! 17:26, March 19, 2021 (EDT) Uploads Hello, thanks for your uploads, though keep in mind that files need to include an image category and license in addition to a description. (I realise you used the text editor's uploader function to upload, but I suggest using Special:Upload in the future since it's easier to do this.) On the Special:Upload page, in the "Summary" box, fill in the "aboutfile" details (remove any unused parameters) and replace "{{uncategorized}}" with an appropriate image category link. To find it, go to Category:Images and follow the subcategories until you've found the right one (in the case of your most recent uploads, go to "Images by system" and you'll find "Nintendo GameCube Images") and add the link to the summary as [[Category:Nintendo GameCube Images]]. Select the appropriate license from the drop-down menu (in this case, the correct one would be "Promotional photo"), then click "Upload file". Mario JC 08:32, April 13, 2021 (EDT) Thanks for the info, im still a little confused on this whole wiki editing thing but this info will definetly help me in the future. thanks!{{User:Somethingone}} 08:39, April 13, 2021 (EST) Proposal voting When putting your vote in a proposal, you are supposed to type your username like this: #{{user|Somethingone}}, the signature only needs to be there if you are leaving a comment. Nightwicked Bowser 11:23, April 19, 2021 (EDT) Ok! #{{user|Somethingone}} The "nowiki" code was only there so I could show you what you need to type, when signing your comments outside of proposal voting, you just need to type four "~". Nightwicked Bowser 11:34, April 19, 2021 (EDT) I don't you understood the above comment. Only use four "~" at the end of comments. NOT votes. Typing four "~" creates a signature with a timestamp. Do it like this. 16:18, April 21, 2021 (EDT) "Formatting" Do you happen to be using a grammar-check tool like Grammarly in your edits? If you are, please be more careful with it and try not to rely on it too much, as it's occasionally incorrectly fixing things on articles that were already correct before (e.g. changing "versus" (as in versus mode) to "verses", changing the phrase "plug in" to the word "plugin", omitting the space before the question marks in "? Block", and changing "colour" to "color" on a British English description). Mario JC 22:23, June 18, 2021 (EDT) Noted. I'll be aware of that in the future. Somethingone (talk) 09:40, June 19, 2021 (EDT) You're still doing this. False positives are still being picked up and quotes and descriptions keep getting changed. Please check over every grammar fix (or just correct the page yourself) or a formal reminder may be issued. Mario JC 21:41, June 27, 2021 (EDT) Cactus Actually, either is acceptable, though since Minecraft's updates say it as "cacti" we should indeed go with that for this case. (This is notably contrary to "octopi" just being patently wrong). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:05, June 20, 2021 (EDT) Vandalism What that anon did still counts as vandalism since it's blatantly replacing valid information with something unrelated. MarioWiki:Vandalism explains this more clearly. Nightwicked Bowser 15:49, June 21, 2021 (EDT) Noted, It was just weird seeing vandalism that wasn't a one-sentence edit since that's what usually happens. Music files In case you decide to upload more in the future, music files must be trimmed to 30 seconds or less with a fadeout applied per Help:Media#Music clips. Mario JC 07:31, July 25, 2021 (EDT) Archiving proposals You keep forgetting to archive your proposals. Try to remember to do this from now on. 20:42, August 2, 2021 (EDT) About that blank image that I uploaded I apologize about it, I just wanted to add Singapore as a supported country (because it finally happened), but for some reason, this was the result. I was gonna report my error to an admin, but I just saw that you brought back the original image, so I just wanted to say that. Again, I'm sorry, I just wanted to bring an updated version of the image, but instead, I made a mistake. Gold Luigi (talk) 12:50, October 7, 2021 (EDT) It's ok, i'm sure it was just an accident. I guess you should check next time if it's the correct image before uploading? Somethingone (talk) 12:56, October 7, 2021 (EDT) BIDDYBUD!!!! I like biddybuds too! BIDDYBUD Oh, before I forget, to make a good userbox, just put {{userboxtop}} on the top of the userbox tower and {{userboxbottom}} on the bottom of the userbox tower. I hope you find this helpful. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Toad "Toad" is a proper noun and should be capitalised, not written in lowercase. Mario JC 00:10, October 18, 2021 (EDT) Also, when adding headers, any words that aren't proper nouns or the first word of the header should be lowercase. Mario JC 00:11, October 18, 2021 (EDT) One more thing, opening parentheses should be preceded with a space (like this) and not stuck together(like this). Mario JC 23:00, October 20, 2021 (EDT) Please recall what I said here regarding capitalisation of headers. Mario JC 23:31, March 16, 2022 (EDT) Edit summary tone Please don't keep typing in all caps in edit summaries like you are doing when fixing formality, this goes against MarioWiki:Courtesy. When fixing these, either just don't leave an edit summary at all or take it down a notch. Nightwicked Bowser 12:59, October 27, 2021 (EDT) sorry, i got out of hand there didn't it? I'll stop.Somethingone (talk) 13:00, October 27, 2021 (EDT) Just don't give yourself an aneurysm there. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:11, October 27, 2021 (EDT) But an aneurysm is an enlargement of an artery caused by a weakening of the artery wall. How is this related to the topic? OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Doc was just making a joke Somethingone (talk) 08:33, November 8, 2021 (EST) Then tell him to watch his choice of jokes. I am a smart alec and a kleptomaniac myself so I think things scientifically literally. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Monty Mole Mario Party Superstars Hey, could you provide an image of Monty Mole in the encyclopedia from Mario Party Superstars? Also, know anything about Monty Mole being in Mario Party 4? MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 16:45, November 13, 2021 (EST) I can help with that! Not right now though, I'm in the middle of something. Somethingone (talk) 16:47, November 13, 2021 (EST) Oh also are you good at ripping models? If so which consoles can you rip models from? MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 17:40, November 13, 2021 (EST) I'm not good at ripping models, but i got the image for you! Here it is: I hope you enjoy. Somethingone (talk) 18:02, November 13, 2021 (EST) Thanks, also could you get a screenshots of the parts in Yoshi’s Crafted World where the player has to hit several Monty Moles when they hit a timer cloud in order to get smiley flowers? MontyMoleLoreMaster (talk) 18:19, November 13, 2021 (EST) I don't have that game, sorry! :( Somethingone (talk) 18:33, November 13, 2021 (EST) About that google translate thing… What language did you translate Fizzlit’s article to? I want to know. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Oh, i just picked a bunch of random ones that i thought would cause the most chaos, things like Punjabi and Latin. Things get extra chaotic if you set the starting text's language to a different language as well, which is what i did for the 3DW part! Somethingone (talk) 10:25, November 15, 2021 (EST) Well, good job doing that, I laughed so hard!! OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Adorable? You said Fizzlits are adorable in the summary of one of your edits. I like Fizzlits too! Is that what made you google translate it’s article? OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Well I chose Fizzlit’s article because it seemed simple to do, but yea they are adorable! Somethingone (talk) 10:58, November 17, 2021 (EST) Condolences? I gave my condolences to walkazo, who died. Did you give her condolences? OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Well...I don't really know who Walkazo was, but I hope they're in a better place. Somethingone (talk) 14:08, November 17, 2021 (EST) Me neither. I still heard of her work and I still gave my condolences. Click here to see my condolences. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Want to be friends? Hey, want to be friends? OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Sure! Somethingone (talk) 18:20, November 17, 2021 (EST) My userbox is on my page. What about yours? OhoJeeOnFire (talk) I have this: |- | This user is friends with Somethingone! Somethingone (talk) 18:28, November 17, 2021 (EST) Can I fix your userbox tower? It seems that you still have that problem… OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Oh it’s not broken, I just wanna keep it like that. Somethingone (talk) 11:14, November 18, 2021 (EST) Then why were you trying to get rid of the “|- |” lines from the user boxes? OhoJeeOnFire (talk) I didn't know what they were, that's all Somethingone (talk) 11:44, November 18, 2021 (EST) You can simply replace every instance of {{userbox}} with {{userboxp}} and separate them using the {{br}} template in between every userbox. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Got it! Somethingone (talk) 11:48, November 18, 2021 (EST) Just to simplify it a bit, a userbox is used using the {{userbox}} template. It is formatted like this: {{userbox|border=#FF0000|mainbkgd=#FF5555|codebkgd=#FF0000|codecolor=#000000|code=vg-5|msg=This user is a professional gamer.}} Where it says userbox, just add a p at the end. If you need help, just ask. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) It worked! Somethingone (talk) 15:29, November 18, 2021 (EST) Yeah! It did! But I think it would look better with the {{br}} template in between each userbox. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) You can use these if you want. I’m currently making a Super Mario 3D World style profile picture, one that would work as the life counter and the character select screen. When I am done, I’ll inform you. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) To be more specific, you can use these images for your userboxes. If you need help, ask me. I can help. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Muper Wario siki I love that joke! I also figured out the secret code: this user thinks a chain chomp should eat daisy. Am I right? Or was that mixed up on purpose? OhoJeeOnFire (talk) You got it right! :) Somethingone (talk) 14:19, November 19, 2021 (EST) I am an excellent problem solver. :D OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Congratulations! You earned a free Fizzlit for your great work! You also earned an Oho Jee because you are my friend. You also earned a Badge Bandit because they were having a “get two elemental characters get a Badge Bandit free” sale. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Thanks! :D Somethingone (talk) 07:45, November 22, 2021 (EST) Guess what? I made myself an account for the Super Mario Boards! Isn’t that great? OhoJeeOnFire (talk) That's nice! Somethingone (talk) 17:58, December 1, 2021 (EST) Re: Pattan The name "Whimp.png" was fine as it was, so you didn't need to rename it. -- FanOfYoshi 13:13, December 3, 2021 (EST) Yes, ik that it's not an official name, but file names are different from actual page names. -- FanOfYoshi 13:13, December 3, 2021 (EST) wait what Somethingone (talk) 13:15, December 3, 2021 (EST) I mean, it wasn't necessary to move the file. You can give an image any file name as long as it is descriptive enough. -- FanOfYoshi 13:16, December 3, 2021 (EST) Your edit summaries Hey, I've noticed you have had a pattern of abusing edit summaries, such as conversing with vandals, general pointless spamming nonsense, sarcastic remarks and filling it up with pointless ellipses, and general rudeness. Edit summaries are to be used to notify recent change patrollers of the changes you made to articles. It's okay to be fun once in a while, but keep in mind their general purpose and remember to be courteous to others, and do not engage with vandals outside of reverting their edits and notifying admins. Ray Trace(T|C) 14:44, December 8, 2021 (EST) Sorry about that ray, I’ll stop now Somethingone (talk) 15:07, December 8, 2021 (EST) Re:Swap I mean they have exactly the same behavior, just with the aesthetic changed to fit the level theme. There are actually a lot of these enemies in Game Boy Donkey Kong. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:33, December 9, 2021 (EST) Ah, I got it. Thanks for the insight! Somethingone (talk) 11:34, December 9, 2021 (EST) You need your daily dose of THE FUNNY!!! Good Fit Bad Fit Sharpea is the god of gods and in his microgame, everyone is terrible because they have absolutely no experience in RPGs. Why is everyone else a bad fit and only Sharpea a good fit!?!?!?!? This just made my day :D Somethingone (talk) 19:49, December 13, 2021 (EST) Welcome to THE FUNNY SHOW!!! Good Fit Bad Fit "Now Warios!?!?!? What’s happening to me!?!?!?" Ninji took a mini mushroom! :D Somethingone (talk) 12:31, December 14, 2021 (EST) Those Warios emitted such an aura that it shrunk him… Poor guy… OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Ding Dong! THE FUNNY’S HERE! Good Fit Bad Fit Only Sharpea can play this microgame and it’s obvious it will lose. Where is everyone else!?!?!?!? Why is only Sharpea here!?!?!?!? which micro game is sharpea playing? Somethingone (talk) 10:58, December 15, 2021 (EST) Fight against Max Level Mario and Luigi. Only enemies in an RPG game can play it. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Ready, set, FUNNY!!! There’s nobody heeeeeeere! THEY ARE GONE!! EVERRRRRRRRYONE! Good Fit Bad Fit Everyone disappeared. They suddenly left the room. Maybe they are on vacation. Coco Sanbo, what did you do? :D Somethingone (talk) 08:43, December 16, 2021 (EST) Open this super safe box. Open it. Come on! Open it! You can do it. Almost there! There is nothing in this box. You wasted all your time doing this! OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Well now i'm in the box! :D Somethingone (talk) 12:09, December 17, 2021 (EST) Oho Jee’s translated article is so funny I laughed for hours! I love it! This is so funny! OhoJeeOnFire (talk) RE: Italics If you're using an iPhone, follow this to turn off curly apostrophes/quotes. Mario JC 06:40, December 23, 2021 (EST) Merry Christmas! OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Reminder Please stop abusing edit summaries on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing. If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it. Hello, I've noticed that you've been using edit summaries once again to conduct in generally, rude behavior. This is your first formal reminder (after your first two informal ones) to please stop, and remember to be courteous and respectful of other users. Ray Trace(T|C) 15:52, January 3, 2022 (EST) I wasn't trying to be rude in those 3 times. I genuinely don't know who Raysfire is, I didn't see how the mr. blizzard thing was trivia and I don't see how the Big Pokey one could be interpreted as rude. Sorry if i came off as rude but i wasn't trying to be rude those times. Somethingone (talk) 15:58, January 3, 2022 (EST) I don't know who Raysfire is either, but when removing content, the tone was unnecessarily condescending to perceived "obscure" content when the edit summary could have been written as "a streamer's opinion is irrelevant to the wiki". The second instance regarding Mr. Blizzard, I considered very rude, because it's a snarky remark that questions the intelligence of the person who added it in (which is myself, I was the one who decided the trivia was interesting enough to put on there). The third instance concerning Big Pokey accuses editors in general of lacking foresight to not add that specific information to the article when the information is likely overlooked. Even if you aren't trying to be rude, I've read these across as they are, and I find it unacceptable, especially since you already got reminded about the behavior twice. Please be compassionate and courteous to other users when writing edit summaries, especially if you disagree with them. Ray Trace(T|C) 16:17, January 3, 2022 (EST) Yeah, please don’t do that. Either be nice, or don’t write a summary. By the way, I know who he is. He is a gamer in a YouTube channel. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) My birthday is coming up! It is only a little more than a week until my birthday! OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Happy birthday, friend! Here is some Delicious Cake:  :) Somethingone (talk) 08:50, January 18, 2022 (EST) Warning This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (interacting with vandals in edit summaries) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site. If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it. You have already been told both informally and given a reminder about your usage of edit summaries. Per MarioWiki:Vandalism#Dealing with a vandal, you shouldn't be engaging with vandals at all. Edit summaries like this and especially this are unnecessary. It won't make them stop and may even encourage them to continue vandalizing. Just revert the edit, report it to an admin, and move on. If you feel it's necessary to write an edit summary, a simple explanation like "Reverting vandalism" is sufficient, but don't interact with them. -- Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 18:50, January 18, 2022 (EST) Please stop doing that. It is a summary. Think of it like a book report. You wouldn’t put nonsense and rude things about a character in the book. You would write formally about the main events. Similar to this, you would not write mean things in a summary; you would write about the edit you made and why you did it, the latter is optional. Please consider these things while writing your summary. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Looking at your recent edits, you still kept doing this. I don’t want you to be blocked. OhoJeeOnFire (talk) 1. Didn't Mario jc tell you not to lump your comments with admin comments? 2. I don't see exactly what about my recent edits after this warning was engaging with vandals, I just told an ip (who wasn't vandalizing) why I undid the edit. Somethingone (talk) 11:19, January 24, 2022 (EST) It’s my birthday! Happy birthday to me! OhoJeeOnFire (talk) Discussion page Please do not edit other discussion pages. Greetings, --Hydrotoxinlaser (talk) 07:21, February 4, 2022 (EST) If I wasn't supposed to edit a discussion page it wouldn't be a discussion page. I was just reverting the content you removed for no reason(and were previously told not to). Somethingone (talk) 07:23, February 4, 2022 (EST) Of course there was a reason, otherwise it would not make sense to remove the content. And I also summarised the edit, the reason could be found there. Greetings, --Hydrotoxinlaser (talk) 07:26, February 4, 2022 (EST) Your reason for removing the content was "clarity", there's no "clarity" gained from blanking a page. You were already told twice that you can't remove your talk page content without archiving. Somethingone (talk) 07:31, February 4, 2022 (EST) I dont't want to repeat the same things again, so I think that is it for now. But of course there should be a evaluation. --Hydrotoxinlaser (talk) 08:53, February 4, 2022 (EST) Minion Quest Snifit Unfortunately, MQ doesn't have Snifit Minions, with the ranged Shy Guys instead being Bandits. That being said, the enemy list has Spiky Snifit and Ice Snifit sorted away from the Chuck Guys, though it does the same with the Goombas, Beanies, and Pestnuts, which the game otherwise indicates are each a variant of the respective previous item. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:55, February 10, 2022 (EST) Interesting...so, does this mean we should list them as variants, or just super close relatives akin to something like the Green Glove-Slugger relation? Somethingone (talk) 18:04, February 10, 2022 (EST) (Should point out regular Shy Guys are ranged troops in MQ as well). If this is mainly about Snifit relation to Shy Guys, the modern Paper Mario games may be a good place to look. For one thing, Snifits use the same voice clips as Shy Guys (heard more clearly in Snifit or Whiffit). This may be quite a minor thing, but in The Origami King there is one Snifit facing the wall and if spoken to, turns around and says "Oh, you thought I was a Shy Guy? Well sorry to dissapoint, but I'm a Snifit" (yes, it does look exactly like a Shy Guy from behind, certainly fooled me). Nightwicked Bowser 18:07, February 10, 2022 (EST) (Aaa I forgot about the modern Paper Mario games) Makes sense to me, I guess. Somethingone (talk) 18:09, February 10, 2022 (EST) Revision Note "All these new glitches are interesting *vigorously takes notes because personal project*" Thank you for the minor edits on the entries. I'm a bit new to doing this so I tend to miss small details. I'm curious what the project is you mentioned, not sure if this is the right area to ask about it though. *shrugs* If you don't want to reveal that it's fine, I'm just wondering since I only know a few people personally that even care about the glitches in that game. --Zaku (talk) 12:35, March 3, 2022 (EST) You're welcome for the minor edits! As for the "personal project", to be honest I'm unsure about saying it here but it doesn't seem like the warning policy says I'll be warned for linking to external projects unless I was an ad account which I'm not so I'll just say It's this thing about oddities in the Mario series I made back in October 2021 that I've been wanting to update for a while. Somethingone (talk) 12:50, March 3, 2022 (EST) Fascinating stuff, glad I could provide some findings to potentially add to the collection. Good luck updating it! --Zaku (talk) 13:50, March 3, 2022 (EST) Category order Per MarioWiki:Categories#Order on pages, on articles, type categories like "Category:Dragons", "Category:Humans" etc. should go first in order of importance, followed by game-specific categories like "Category:Wario World enemies", "Category:Super Mario Bros." in alphabetical order. Mario JC 08:58, March 18, 2022 (EDT) Reference spacing There shouldn't be a space before a reference, so Name<ref>Source</ref>, not Name <ref>Source</ref>. Mario JC 18:53, March 22, 2022 (EDT) Also, don't capitalise animal names that refer to real-life versions of them like "Hawk" or "Grizzly Bear". Mario JC 18:57, March 22, 2022 (EDT) Translations Please stop translating the bios if you're not familiar with the language. There've been a few errors picked up and I can tell from you're using a translator of some sort to get the meanings. Leave them for someone else who knows the language to translate. Mario JC 19:13, March 22, 2022 (EDT) American Birdo and Daijiten They took the English names from the credits, which remained in Super Mario USA. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 10:06, April 12, 2022 (EDT) Ah, thanks for telling me. Somethingone (talk) 10:07, April 12, 2022 (EDT) Re:Yoshi's Story Vine Slime is, believe it or not, named 「ドカンオバケ」 on pages 47, 49, and 50. Compare with Caged Ghost, except that's rendered in hiragana instead of katakana. In context, Vine Slime is clearly more slug-like than ghost-like. For reference, the source assets have actor_slime and actor_slug entries that may be Vine Slime and the slug, respectively. As for the next question, the closest it comes to describing Do-Drop's "acidic" quality is the sentence 「食べることもできるが、体力が減ってしまう。」 (You can eat it, but your strength will decrease.) on page 98 (why not when it's first mentioned on page 42, I don't know). The Shogakukan guide doesn't really give the enemies colorful descriptions beyond the scanned pages. LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:50, April 27, 2022 (EDT) Do-Drop makes sense I guess, English is usually more malleable/pun-filled than other languages. But as for vine slime...isn't the ghost stream enemy in the same level as Vine Slime also called a pipe obake, like you said on the "chartreuse colored ghost" page? If so, then I have to wonder how Shogakukan thinks a transparent rectangle is the same as a small blue slime drop. Oh and, it seems like you have access to the Yoshi's story internal names too? If you could, could you tell me the internal names for the weird creatures known as "adjective enemy" in Japan? Specifically, Chibi Snorkel Snake, Spiked Melon Bug, and Chibi Neuron. I'm especially curious about Mr. Eel, since Shogakukan seems to give it a Snorkel Snake connection that the game doesn't give. Somethingone (talk) 18:00, April 27, 2022 (EDT) You and Doc are correct. I had this mixed up with Ghost Stream, which I forgot still doesn't have an article. The level maps don't show vines, so I cross-referenced with YouTube to see approximately where they showed up in the level, and made the hasty conclusion that it's Dokan Obake. So upon closer inspection, here is my reassessment: not only do the Torrential Maze level maps not show any vines, but there are flat-out no mention of vine objects or vine enemies whatsoever. My theory is that vines and the slimes were a late inclusion to the game that may have replaced some instances of the Ghost Streams, and this was not updated for the Shogakukan guide in time. I'll have some more to say about this on Doc's talk page. Now as for the source assets, I'm only able to read text to make estimated guesses, as right now I'm not aware of a way to view the graphic data for complete confirmation. I think Spiked Melon Bug might be actor_kororin as it has a rolling function, and I don't see anything obviously diminutive of actor_unabon or actor_nyororon so I'm not sure what they might be. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:02, April 28, 2022 (EDT) Well that's interesting, I'll take note of that. Somethingone (talk) 16:16, April 28, 2022 (EDT) Also, I don't really have a good explanation for ComBat's Japanese name. Since its source actor seems to be "ase" (sweat), I suspect that it's derived from a developer in-joke, but don't quote me on that. However, it should be noted that the artist of this Yoshi's Story manga makes a little more sense of it. By the way, I think Do-Drop's Shogakukan profile is suggesting that it might just be extremely cold. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:49, May 2, 2022 (EDT) Extreme cold could be an explanation for Do-Drop's harmful digestive properties, but how do we word it to mention it's acid rain in English and freezing rain in Japan? Oh and for ComBat, yea I guess it could be an inside joke. Certainly makes more sense than anything else about ComBats. Somethingone (talk) 19:10, May 2, 2022 (EDT) I'd mention the difference under a trivia section, personally. And if it interests you, actor_suiteki is its source file. LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:14, May 2, 2022 (EDT) Much appreciated! I believe that's all the questions I will ask. Somethingone (talk) 19:46, May 2, 2022 (EDT) Sure thing. By the way, I've since spotted Mr. Eel under actor_tibiunabon (Chibi Unabon), so the connection was planned. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:03, May 2, 2022 (EDT) Cool, thanks for checking that! (does this mean sea cactus's file name is called actor_tibinyororon?) Somethingone (talk) 23:06, May 2, 2022 (EDT) No, and I can't seem to identify it right now, but incidentally, Sea Anemone appears to be actor_seaanemone (no "actor_seacactus" either). LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:25, May 2, 2022 (EDT) Well, I can see that the spider is actor_minobon. I'm not sure which one Spiny Fish or Ghost Rider might be. I have a feeling that the former wasn't always called Togepuku in development, like what might've happened in Super Mario Galaxy. For reference, here are the files with "puku" and "obake" in their names: actor_minipuku (seems to be regular Cheep Cheep; a similar-named file is actor_miniteresa and Boo Cluster's Little Boo is about the same size as it), actor_pukupuku (these are the two big Blurps judging from their functions), actor_obake (Baby Bowser's pet ghost?), actor_obakelift (Ghost Rider or Balloon Bully?), and actor_kabeobake (Ghost Stream?). By the way, they're not filenames post-compiled from the game; these are pre-compiled "giga" filenames. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:48, May 14, 2022 (EDT) Well that's quite insightful for minobon(no idea how it ended up as spider in English though)! As for Spiny Fish, I'd definetly think that Spiny Fish wasn't originally a "Togepuku" but eventually did become one. It would make sense considering it looks wildly different (not that appearance is species-indicative in the greater Mario franchise). Also, I may have one more small question considering the file names for the Yoshi's Story "Blurps" & the smaller Cheep Cheeps; Does Shogakukan refer to the "Blurps" as "Biggu/Deka/Okina/Kyodai/whatever-big-they-use Puku" collectively later on in the guide, or does it always refer to them separately as "Aka Puku" and "Ao Puku"? This is my last question regarding the guide/internal names, I promise. Never mind, I should have really read the Big cheep cheep page before saying anything. They're just "(Okina) pukupuku" collectively. (P.S., you said the internal names are "giga" file names. Does that mean they're taken from the Nintendo Gigaleak or something?) Somethingone (talk) 11:12, May 14, 2022 (EDT) About Dark Craw If you look at the LoO, it's just "Spear Crow," suggesting more of a "friendly Goombas have hats" type of situation than an actual subtype.

It will be very helpful for any future cutting. Soon, that mammoth of a Mario article will be small enough to eat! Somethingone (talk) 22:38, May 31, 2022 (EDT) It is rumored that the ancient peoples of 2007 subsisted off Mario articles before the invention of the steel plow. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:13, June 1, 2022 (EDT) Internal Japanese names As mentioned here, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 have an ObjNameTable archive/table file in BCSV format that lists Japanese names for a lot if not most of the games' filenames. While a lot of names match the ones seen in-game or in guides, there are some that appear to be early, such as Tarantox (クモキング) being TombSpider (トゥームスパイダー). I was wondering where these should be listed under the expanded additional names section. Some Switch games like Paper Mario: The Origami King and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening also use something similar called glossary.msbt files in multiple languages, but those seem to be different as they align more with final/localized names and appear to be a reference for translators. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:22, June 4, 2022 (EDT) Hmm...are those Japanese names used in-game or in a guide, or are they unused Japanese names found in the game's coding? If the latter, then I'd guess in the Internal name template, but I'm unsure. Somethingone (talk) 11:30, June 4, 2022 (EDT) I'm pretty sure it's the latter. There's a chance that they were used in older Shogakukan guides or elsewhere (I only have Encyclopedia Super Mario Bros. for these games), but that's unlikely. The glossary.msbt files in The Origami King and Link's Awakening also contain entries that for whatever reason never got used, but again, nothing particularly seems "early" there compared to the Galaxy games' ObjNameTable, which looks more like a reference file for developers rather than localizers. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:38, June 4, 2022 (EDT) In that case, I'd say go for the internal names template if they're not used by guides. Somethingone (talk) 11:44, June 4, 2022 (EDT) All right, I have examples right now in the Petapeta, Magmaw, and Ocean Small Turtle articles; the first is where the languages match, the second is where they don't, and the third is a subject whose only known name comes from their filename. How do these look to you? LinkTheLefty (talk) 12:12, June 4, 2022 (EDT) Looks good to me! Somethingone (talk) 12:14, June 4, 2022 (EDT) Oh yeah, just as a heads-up, some discussion concluded that it's going to be presented a little differently to include filepaths wherever possible. Also, I can confirm that you're right about Vine Slime. Good job! Reminds me of when that Wario Land II fish went unnoticed for years. LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:15, June 30, 2022 (EDT) Noted & thanks!

Also note that you have been reminded and warned for improper and rude edit summaries in the past. I'm not trying to discourage you from editing, I just want you to know that some of your edit summaries could be more courteous.

Spectrogram (talk) 10:06, August 10, 2022 (EDT) ReRe:Yoshi's Story Hey, so in regards to the bumblebee and generic bee - no, I don't believe so, but the bumblebee is a scaled-down version of the regular bee (though personally it would've made more sense if it was the other way around). You can try asking Doc if that was the rationale behind it. Killer bees seem to be in a similar boat and I've put them down as relatives instead of variants. I'm not really sure about the Lava Ghost either - I did remove the Ghosts category from F Boy because a source states that it's literally a Fire kid instead of a hitodama, but in this case there's not much else to state otherwise. Maybe bring it up on the talk page? LinkTheLefty (talk) 13:02, August 13, 2022 (EDT) Wait, the bumblebee is a downscaled version of the regular bee...? Aren't the regular bees in Yoshi's Story just a 2x2 px white square? S o m e t h i n g o n e ! 13:19, August 13, 2022 (EDT) ...I think you're right. Not sure why they share a sprite here... LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:49, August 13, 2022 (EDT) Undoing edits Next time please look at the anon's edits closely (including the grammar) and check with policy before undoing my edits. I've been dealing with these edits longer than you have, and at this point it's much faster when I rollback the edits (which bypasses the summary function) when they're usually self-explanatory or they're the same errors that have been reverted on other pages before, and leaving them summaries is pretty much futile at this point. I know what I'm doing and I'm not reverting these edits willy-nilly and for no reason, and it's bothersome that you continuously revert them back saying there's nothing wrong with it and forcing another edit to the page having to explain it. If one of the edits really is valid enough to be kept on the page, then let me know. Mario JC 11:49, September 27, 2022 (EDT) Coloration vs. Color variations I appreciate you correcting me on those sections. But I feel like even coloration sounds a bit inaccurate too because it sounds like it implies that these are alternate colorations/costumes (which is true in some games by the way, even outside of Smash technically). While color variation refers to the species having different colors for each of the individual species. Even if say Toad and Yoshi are the characters of a standard Red and Green species respectively they are still technically the most common colorations in most games they appear in even if they aren't those named characters in games, even in Mario Baseball games the base Red vested Toads are the standard Red Toads for example. --KingGeoshiKoopshi64 (talk) 19:45, November 24, 2022 (EST) I guess that makes sense then. Feel free to revert my edits regarding the coloration/color variation thing. S o m e t h i n g o n e ! 19:51, November 24, 2022 (EST) Smash proposal This isn't really an attempt to sway you back into supporting the proposal, but I just want to let you know I was already planning a second proposal to implement WT's suggestion, so the bad precedent wouldn't there to stay. The only setback to that is the 4 weeks time in-between the attempts. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 17:03, January 30, 2023 (EST) :Look I am sorry but I can't see my original support vote as anything more than a manic outburst as a reaction to the Smash-coverage inconsistency, and my recent oppose vote as anything more than me freaking out over a point I didn't address. It reminded me of when I made that strawman rant on the Legend of Zelda series page proposal a few months back. If people wish to use my support arguments they still can but I feel like it's best if I just abstain for now. S o m e t h i n g o n e ! 17:10, January 30, 2023 (EST) ...Why was I so upset about this, again? I don't know, and it made no sense. I'll support again. S o m e t h i n g o n e ! non parlo italiano "a lot of the foreign name explanations on this wiki use quotes instead of italics for explanations" Then they should be corrected to MLA, as I do whenever I encounter such instances. This isn't written in stone. "there's a lot of failed proposals regarding the conversion of this wiki to be MLA." Besides the ship one (which I would still support), I'm not aware of others. My stance is that, since the wiki has been applying MLA guidelines for a long while, it should keep doing so across the board and not pick and choose arbitrarily (e.g. "this and this manual/whatever other source doesn't italicise this word that would be italicised under MLA, so the wiki shouldn't either"). -- KOOPA CON CARNE 11:12, February 14, 2023 (EST) RE: Piranha Plant Slide music Hello there. At times I race on 3DS Piranha Plant Slide R and R/T in the tours the course appears in, I always tend to skip at the first part of the course intro overview (in which it overlooks the underwater section). Most of the time, I hear the instruments for the underwater music before entering the underwater section. It's true a lot of videos did not skip the course intro, but I did found ONE video that skips the course intro. Infinite8 22:05, March 19, 2023 (EDT)
