| ==Un-canon elements==
| |
| The elements coming from the cartoons doesn't count in the video game timeline, so should I delete the part where it's said that something's happenning between Super Mario Bros. and its sequel ?
| |
| [[User:Koopalmier|Koopalmier]] 07:11, 1 June 2009 (EDT)
| |
| :Actually, there is no "video game timeline". The whole article should be reorganized according to [[Help:Article#History|this]]. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 07:28, 1 June 2009 (EDT)
| |
| ::But, seriousely, it's obvious that there are multiples Marios in differents universes. The one from the video games, the one from the DIC cartoon trilogy, the one from the Mario anime, the one from the educative games, ect... Or else Bowser would be dead already, Mario would not have hairs, and Mario & Peach wouldn't have a romantic relationship. We should separe the vdieo games part from the cartoon part in the biography, at least, no ?

| :::Of course there are many inconsistencies between the various appearances (not only in different media). That's why the section shouldn't be called "Biography" anymore, but rather "History". In this section, we can list every of Mario's appearances, no matter which form of media. Video games [[MarioWiki:Canonicity|aren't any more canon]] than cartoons. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 09:27, 1 June 2009 (EDT)
| |
| ::::"Video games aren't any more canon than cartoons"
| |
| ::::Bullcrap. The number of inconsistencies between the games isn't nearly as bad as the inconsistencies between the different medias. And while the games don't follow a timeline nor care about continuity, they're clearly based on the same universe, while the Dic cartoons follows a continuity of its own, the movie is another unique continuity, etc. And if the cartoons are as canon as the games, then how come that none of the character introduced in them have reappeared in the video games, while characters that debuted in the games have been kept by the series and made later appearances in the games? - [[User:Dere|Dere]] 00:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

| | |
| ==Biography section.==
| |
| The biography section is a mess. It treats the different forms of Mario media as though they all occur in the same continuity. Why is this? Shouldn't there be a section detailing the video game continuity, a section detailing the TV cartoon continuity, a section detailing the movie continuity, and a section detailing any other continuities? I mean, I doubt any Superman wiki page jumbles the different Superman continuities together like this, for instance. It's just sloppy. - [[User:Buddy Christ|Buddy Christ]]
| |
| :The organization is correct according to our [[Help:Article#History|guidelines]]. It's not a biography section, but rather a history section, and as such it should list all appearances of a character in history, no matter in which media. There's no way of making a proper "Biography" section, because even in the video game "continuity", there are dozens of inconsistencies. Plus, who says that video game appearances are part of a character's "biography", but cartoon appearances aren't? For our motivation to adopt this organization standard, please see [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 11#Article Organization Standard|here]]. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 05:41, 8 June 2009 (EDT)

| == Game-unrelated Artwork ==
| |
| | |
| Back in the 1980s and 1990s, there were several official artwork pieces of Mario that showed him doing activities such as sports or driving a car. But they are not directly related to a particular game. At the moment I don't have any of these on hand, but I ask because now artwork of Mario and Peach wearing traditional Japanese attire has been revealed by Nintendo due to a recent event in Kyoto ([http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2009/10/nintendo_shows_off_its_history_at_kyoto_cross_media_event information]). The artwork can be seen [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n10/k-cmex2009/index.html here] (there is also a less-quality [http://www.inside-games.jp/article/img/2009/10/04/37996/110552.html photo]). Furthermore, there is artwork where Mario draws a rickshaw with Peach and Toad, but I've only seen a [http://www.inside-games.jp/article/img/2009/10/04/37996/110654.html photo] of it so far. Anyway, I think such artwork should also be covered in the character galleries, even if it doesn't belong to a game, but it is still official. Maybe in a separated section. What do you think? --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 17:39, 5 October 2009 (EDT)
| |
| :If it's official... Sure, why not? - {{User:Edofenrir/sig}} 17:43, 5 October 2009 (EDT)
| |
| ::Seems that Lindsayoris15 uploaded the art, but MeritC thought it is not needed and deleted it. But I still think nothing speaks against making a headline for "Non-Game Artwork." It is official artwork that comes from Nintendo. ''Hotel Mario'' and ''Mario is Missing!'', both 3rd party creations not made by Nintendo, aren't more official than this. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 06:42, 6 October 2009 (EDT)
| |
| :::If this artwork is acknowledged or even published by Nintendo, then there's no way to doubt that it's official. And the purpose of the wiki is to cover everything official.

This will show who Mario really is. He's the guy who bashes blocks, and flies through space! The piture should be more than just him standing. So, it's time to vote for a new one!

| 1. I see your guys point. But the Mario Party 8 artwork that we currently have is just kinda...lame. (Lame for the main artwork anyway) I think we need a more active one.

| I tried to find anouther one...but there really wasn't one that I wanted. Let's try to wrap this up in a few days. We need more votes. If we don't get more votes by Octorbor 16th, then we'll leave it the same.

| :I like spaghetti, but that doesn't make me Italian. Accents and names aren't evidence of national origin, either. "Italian" is more so a national identity rather than an ethnic origin, so it's vague at best. In any case, Mario and Luigi are Italian... But only possibly in the cartoons and film. In the games he has been identified as being born in the Mushroom World, so unless there's an "Italy" in the Mushroom Kingdom, he's not strictly Italian. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 14:32, 2 December 2009 (EST)

| == Mario Mario ==
| |
| | |
| I'm sure this has been discussed many times, but in the character template it says that Mario's full name is Mario Mario. Now, that's just really stupid. They may say that its his full name in the movie, but it doesn't in any of the games. Therefore, I propose we bring it back to just "Mario". {{User:Fawfulfury65/sig}}
| |
| :Well, the movie is just as official as the games, so... maybe we could add a reference there to inform our readers where that full name appears? {{User:Time Q/sig}} 04:11, 19 January 2010 (EST)
| |
| : *facepalm* Just because the movie is official, it doesn't mean it's canon. The same movie also said that Luigi is a teen and Bowser is a human with reptilian characteristics. And by your logic, Spider-Man fights crime using giant mechas because a Japanese live-action adaptation said so; the Hulk's real name is David Banner because the live-action series said so (despite the comics themselves stating that his name is Bruce, not David), and Sonic's nemesis Eggman isn't a mad scientist who makes robots but a caveman who magically turns people into stone (an old Sonic manga said so, therefore it must be true!).

| ::It should be at least made clear in the infobox that "Mario Mario" is only his full name in the film.

| |
| Adding that kind of stuff to the infobox is not needed. Also, the movies and the games hardly are "as official" that's a joke. Also, if I'm not mistaken, it has been confirmed that's not his name. [[User:Panchito|Panchito]]

| Wait a minute his last name must be Mario because in the Dr. Mario Series.Dr.s use their last names.-[[User:UltraMario3000]]
| |
| | |
| Maybe Mario doesn't, since no one really knows for sure if his name is Mario Mario. I for one don't think his last name is Mario. That's just silly, and if it IS true, Luigi would be called Luigi Mario, and if he was a doctor, Dr. Mario, which is just plain downright weird. -Isjee594

| ==Interactions==
| |
| Wasn't there a proposal a while back that said only characters who had major interactions with the character or something along those lines made a while back? Also, I would've removed Toad and Yoshi because of their size, but I'm thinking someone can write more there. As for the characters in other right now, there's not much else to say. As for Daisy, there's so many other characters already in his interactions section, she seems much less relevant when compared like that. I'll probably mention the smaller sections on the nimination for featured page. [[User:Panchito|Panchito]]

I removed the Super Mario Super Show section because I couldn't find a spot for that (PLEASE PLACE IT BACK SOMEWHERE!). Right now, I'm in a dilemma whether I should split the Paper Mario, Mario vs. DK, and Mario and Luigi series.

| Hi! I'm new here!
| |
| | |
| | |
| I see in the categories that Mario is a Boss. I have a few questions, which I hope don't sound.... noobish.
| |
| | |
| 1. Which games is he fought as a Boss?
| |
| | |
| 2. The categories also say he's a Final Boss? What game's that? I'd like to see that.
| |
| | |
| 3. Also, it says he's a Villain? On what occasion is he a Villain?

| I hope I don't sound noobish at all. I just need those 3 questions answered. Thanks. --[[User:SMWFan|SMWFan]] 22:43, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

| == Article is excessively lengthy ==
| |
| | |
| This article is extremely lengthy, almost comically so, and the actual information pertaining to Mario, as a character, is buried under piles of game and plot summaries that, more or less, have no bearing on his actual character. Since these things are better explained on their own pages, is it really necessary to go into full detail about Mario's exploits in every single game on this page? It seems like this article is trying to be the entire Wiki all by itself.
| |
| | |
| For example, nearly half of the article is a laundry list of every game Mario has ever appeared in, and then a not-so-brief summary of the entire game's concept and Mario's role in it. Is this really necessary? All of these games have their own respective articles. Wouldn't it be simpler and more concise to do something like a table of games he has appeared in, along with their respective release dates, and links to the specific pages on those games?
| |
| | |
| It seems silly that the entire plot of Super Mario Galaxy is detailed on the Mario article, when Super Mario Galaxy has its own article that fulfills this function. The same can be said for, well, the other several dozen TV shows, games, and things Mario has appeared in.
| |
| | |
| In short if it has its own article, does it really need to be re-posted on the Mario article? I don't see any purpose it serves to have Mario's article cluttered up with redundant information except to confuse readers and obfuscate actual information about Mario as a character.
| |

| ==Donkey Kong series==
| |
| First off, I have trouble splitting up the Donkey Kong series into an "arcade series" on one side and a "Mario vs. Donkey Kong series" on the other side because ''[[Game Boy Donkey Kong]]'' fits in both. Second, I think putting ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'' and ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem]]'' in one paragraph made sense to me, as this article strictly covers Mario's roles in games, and they didn't change at all between those three installments. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 09:05, 13 March 2011 (EDT)
| |
| :I'd actually say that the Game Boy's ''Donkey Kong '94'' fits in ''neither'' series: it's not an arcade game, but it's not an actual ''MvDK'' game either (the Minis in the latter is way different from just having Mario run around on his own as in all the earlier games, handheld or arcade). The ''MvDK'' series has already been recognized with [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|a series page]], and so its games should be given their own header in History sections (and ''DK94'' gets its own stand-alone listing (it goes just above ''Hotel Mario''). I suppose Mario's role in the latter three ''MvDK'' games can go in one header, but it shouldn't be called "March of the Minis" only: that'd be a misnomer as it'd be covering three different games, not just that one. (I made the two-in-one "Minis March Again!" section because I didn't notice the sentence also had ''Mini-Land Mayhem!'' in there until I had hit "save". Generally, I would have gone back and put their combined info under the general series header, after a line about how the original two games kicked off the series, but since there was no general ''MvDK'' section, I couldn't do that.) - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:07, 13 March 2011 (EDT)

| Please let's decide this for consistency
| |
| - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 14:38, 14 March 2011 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| :Yes, it should be called "FLUDD" in the ''SMS'' section; people don't do that because they probably get confused by the fact that the article has periods, which is due to the ''SSBB'' spelling, which is the most recent spelling. It's discussed [[Talk:F.L.U.D.D.#FLUDD_or_F.L.U.D.D.|here]]. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 17:31, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

| |
| :I just used the other one because [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)]] is the name of the page (and I've seen it written like that on [[Pauline]], but never as <s>"Donkey Kong Game Boy"</s> "Game Boy Donkey Kong"). And like I said in the edit summary, we already use parentheses to indicate media for other things like [[Super Mario World (television series)]] or [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)]], so it fits an established header-naming convention. The real question is why we use "DK (GB)" at all if we have <s>"DKGB"</s> "GBDK" as an official name, but that should be discussed on that article's talk page. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 17:42, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

| | |
| ===Option 1: ''Fortune Street''===
| |
| #{{User|Mario & Luigi}} Personally, I think this one looks best.
| |
| #{{User|YoshiGo99}} This one shows Mario doing something, the NSMBW is just Mario standing which is a bit boring.
| |
| #{{User|BoygeyDude}} This one ain't bad! :)
| |
| #{{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} Out of all of them, Mario looks the best. Why can't we have Mario posing like that? It's fine for several other characters.
| |
| #{{User|Superfiremario}} This one is pretty good.
| |
| #{{User|MeritC}} After careful thought, I'm going to have to go with this option. I'll place in an additional comment shortly.
| |
| #{{User|Lakituthequick}} This is a neutral image, without Mario holding things
| |
| #{{User|Magikrazy51}} I prefer this one because it's his normal design, he's actually doing something in the picture and there's nothing else in the picture thus making it simple and perfect for a main image. Per Madam Fire and Mr. Dude.
| |
| #{{User|Mario4Ever}} I'll support this as long as the picture isn't changed until the release of the game. There's always the possibility that the game gets canceled, and we end up wasting our time.
| |
| | |
| ===Option 2: ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''===
| |
| #{{User|Toad85}} The other pictures are just poses of mario from various games. We have enough of those. This one is much more creative.
| |
| #{{User|KoopaMan}} This one shows Mario throwing a javelin, which is a sport that's in the game.
| |
| | |
| ===Option 3: ''Super Mario 3D Land''===
| |
| #{{User|Tails777}} This picture is apart of the mainstream (I think that's what it's called) and would best fit the the cycle.
| |
| | |
| ===Option 4: ''Paper Mario 3DS''===
| |
| | |
| ===Option 5: ''Mario Party 9''===
| |
| | |
| ===Option 6: ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
| |
| #{{User|Goomba's Shoe15}} Most of these are from games that arent out yet and i like this one
| |
| #{{User|Bowser's luma}} It's most detailed IMHO.
| |
| #{{User|New Super Yoshi}} This is the best one right now and the others don't really stand out for Mario.
| |
| #{{User|M&SG}} - I support this image for now.

| The only roadblock I see is this -- if I'm not mistaken, "main"/"normal" artworks involving Mario himself only count from the main batch of Mario installments -- this doesn't include spinoff installments. That means ''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games'' doesn't count for this poll, ''Super Mario 3DS'' doesn't count, and ''Paper Mario 3DS'' doesn't count. So in my opinion, the choice we really have to make would be using the ''Fortune Street'' picture, the ''Mario Party 9'' picture, or keep the current one (the picture of Mario for ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Just my two cents on this matter. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! [[User:MeritC|User Page]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[User_talk:MeritC|Talk Page]] 12:03, 30 June 2011 (EDT)

| At the top of the section it says the article is currently under construction. If that means being edited with a large amount of changes by a group of people, how long does it take, because it's been under construction forever. Did something go wrong? Are there a lot of proposals that have been approved that need to be added? I can help edit the article if anybody wants. Please let me know on my talk page.[[User:M&L|M&L Beware my fury!]] 13:51, 18 January 2012 (EST)

| I own a couple of old game boy cameras and on the title screen it features Mario . Also in the most recent just dance ( just dance 3 respectively) exclusively for the wii version you can download a song called just Mario. Quick question should I be worried if I could beat super Mario 3d land but not the original super Mario and for the game boy.

| I gotta question a few of these.. "Mario seems to not be bothered by certain temperature levels", seriously, that's a power? Also the Mario runs as fast as Sonic thing, sounds like it was done for cinematic effect, and isn't reflective of any real notable ability on Mario's part. Just my 2 coins. --[[User:Goomboy|Goomboy]] 03:15, 10 May 2012 (EDT)
| |
| | |
| Yeah, I agree. Most video game characters are not affected by hot and cold temperatures. There are ice and fire worlds in lots of non-mario games. And Mario CLEARLY can't run as fast as sonic. They just slowed Sonic down in the M&S games to give the other contestants a fair chance. these are not powers.

| --well honestly and this is my 3 coins but in the 2D Mario games we are shown that Mario can out run bullets (bullet bills) jump on them and make them stop and fall right on the spot and bullet bills have shown to be going at fast speeds in super Mario 3d land shows that bullet bills have broken the sound barrier as shown by the winds barrier going off of them or the spiked chains in sm3dland that create 10 mirages behind itself,or how he usually finishes his adventures in a day usually in a couple minutes or an hour mostly since bowser is usually surprised at how quick Mario gets to the castles mostly since his quote in smg2 whaa- its you? surprised at how quickly Mario got to him the second time or in paper Mario sticker star when a whole adventure took most likely only a couple of minutes as said by kresti when you go back to wigglers house after trying to get to bowsers castle also in super paper Mario enemies that are shown to attack with sound Mario easily out runs them (note attack of sound=speed of sound)as shown by amazy/craze daisys a few notes (sound) hurts Mario but Mario defends against it or by boom boxer species which fire sound waves at Mario.as for the 3 ton luigi fattest person on earth weighed in at 1235 only 765 pounds short of a ton but luigi didn't onlt grow obese he grew in size to about the size (relative to Mario) 6 trucks tall and 4 and half Mario's wide now with all that I think luigi most likely weighs either 3 tons or more than 3 tons and one more thing is I would like to add another ability that hasn't really been talked about and well that marios faster than light (ftl) reflexes as shown from paper Mario where he blocks lightning from the star rod general guys tank or from cloud n puffs lightning attacks, thousand year door where Mario could super guard any attack from anything even lightning and either not get damaged if physical or not get damaged at all if ranged, also in new super Mario bros world 7 fighting lakithunder who rained lightning down and Mario easily dodges them.

| I think there's no reason to have a list of power-ups for Mario in this page. Luigi, Princess Peach and the Toads can have some of those forms in some games, so it's not particular of Mario. The [[Power-Up]]s page already explains the powers Mario can obtain, so I think it's unnecessary to have it here.

| #{{User|BabyLuigiOnFire}} If a [[Power-Up]] page exist, then I find this section a little redundant. Besides, it's already described in the Powers and Abilities section. Sure, it's visual, but we do not need a gallery of every power-up, especially if that very section can fit in [[Power-Up]]. And, like how the proposer said, why is Mario special for having his abilities listed in a gallery? Of course, Mario is the main character of the series. Doesn't mean it should be Mario-centric.

| :As in, a voice actor? Charles Martinet (the guy who voices Mario up to this day) first voiced Mario in ''[[Mario's Game Gallery]]'', but ''[[Hotel Mario]]'', the provider for Mario's godawful voice, was before that. Most people will hear Mario's voice in the games for the first time in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', though. According to Mario's game timelime, Hotel Mario is apparently the first game he had a voice.

| == Durability, Galaxy Ending ==
| |
| | |
| While Mario showing greater feats of durability in some games essentially overrides his lesser durability in other games, I still think his original durability that is still used in the 2d platformers should be brought into question in the article, where he can only survive one hit from any hazard, or two if he has a powerup.
| |
| | |
| Also, the suggestion that he survived the force of a supernova is way off.
| |
| First of all, EVERYONE survived that "supernova".
| |
| Secondly, it is heavily implied in the game that Mario (along with everyone else) was protected by Rosalina and/or the Lumas.

| == Favorite Food Tidbit ==
| |
| | |
| I distinctly remember years ago that the official Mario vs. Donkey Kong for Game Boy Advance website had a profile for Mario and listed his favorite food as "Mushroom Pizza", among potentially other things like his height and such. This wasn't just something made up in localization either, since the game was made by a United States branch. Unfortunately, like most Nintendo of America sites, it was in flash and taken down after it ran its course, so it may be lost. I know some people were able to recover similar Nintendo game sites, like the one for Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. I wouldn't know where to find a backup, though, where I can conclusively prove that this even existed. Anyone else remember this or can find a copy of the website to verify it?
