The Bestiary Proposal

You voted for this proposal back in January, and I'm working on a new proposal to expand on it. If you'd be so kind as to give me some feedback on my proposal before I post it?-- 00:11, 22 November 2016 (EST)

Baby Luigi in Sports Mix

Ah, I sent you a reply on the marioboards but just to be sure you will see it I will copy and paste here :v

unbanned? OMG Thank you *cheers* Oh, that's bad...Oh, if you want I can give you help to make this :O I just made a "Mind Map" inside my mind to record how to make this correctly XD Do you by chance know/can add me on anychat or something like that that we can talk together

Cheers! User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

No, I don't hve a Steam account, sorry, DO you have a account for Skype, Discord or something like that? If not, no problem, I guess I could send you messages rought the mario boards but it'd be slower...User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

Yay! I have to add you (your sister) later :D I cant talk to you atm because I have some work (build a wall) to do...Maybe later on the afternoon I can call you ^^' I'd love to lead a hand ^^' User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

Oh, I cant find your sister on Skype...Would you mind asking her if she could give me her discord ID (it is a 4 number code like #xxxx)....Thanks! User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

By that I mean

By that I mean that the original form of the blurb was put there by an admin and was reinstated each time someone took it off by an admin. The blurb is worded differently now but it's the same meaning.

Just because an admin did it doesn't mean there can be room for improvement. All this sentence does is state the obvious; we already have the "articleabout" template on the very top of the page that highlights their distinction, and stating this is just repeating what has already been stated. Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:20, 27 November 2016 (EST)

Alright. Thank you for your time. I just was putting it back because some people still get confused because of Paper Jam's existence.

Finally

Those idiots finally found a transparent version of this filthy artwork.

I hope you are happy, you smelly Baby Luigi fan.

Re:LTIan

This is about the user page, no? Ultimate Mr. L (talk) calling his user page disturbing is kind of an extreme way to look at it. If LTIan (talk) were doing these actions outside the user page, yes, get on the ban hammer because any wiki thrives on cooperativeness as he doesn't possess it in any capacity. I already see he has had several warnings and bans about being combative with other users, trying to override other people and asserting that he is always right by committing his edits. I see his user page once had something about hating YoshiKong (talk). He didn't explain why but whatever and was since removed. If he provided critique or evaluation rather than blanket statements declaring something is better or bad, yeah, maybe it would have a reason to stay. I can see that he is trying to defame others, just in more discrete ways. It's borderline going against policy, at least the current state of his user page or any statement he says claiming he hate this place. Not quite in violation but enough to set off some flags. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:16, 2 December 2016 (EST)

Hi!

I think you remember me from RVLution, right? ~ SmithJrBlaquaLuigi

Yeah, but by any chance, I have no 100% who did it. But I'm quite sure is, I can't say his/her name on here for sure. I mean, I was wrong for calling people names and I get banned for that. Was it my fault that the RVLution was down because they tried to get rid of me including you guys? Look at me, I looked down through with my eyes at the floor and seen that got taken down. First of all, I want to say that you were a good staff after all to be honest! By the way, I wanna ask, how's RoadrunnerWMC doing today? :) ~SmithJrBlaquaLuigi

Images from a while ago

I noticed you uploaded the following images from around three years ago:

• 
• 
• 

In a message to M&SG (talk), you said you had cheat codes on or something when you took these images. The last one isn't really being used anywhere other than Gallery:Baby Mario and the first one is fine, so it's more the second one I'm worried about, as that image is being used on the Heart (item), Heart Coach, and Mushroom City pages. Should it be reuploaded as it's showing a normally impossible circumstance? I know it's possible to get anyone's special item in Battle Mode, but this is during a standard race. Perhaps reupload the image on a battle course or with Peach or Daisy in the kart instead? 17:51, 8 December 2016 (EST)

Actually, on second thought, it is possible to get the Heart item as Mario or Luigi on two-player mode. The back player just has to attack someone holding the item to steal it. Guess the image is totally fine. :P 15:06, 10 December 2016 (EST)

Well, like I said, all of them are actually possible to do (just took me a while to find that out). Though I understand if you'd want to avoid future confusion. 16:04, 10 December 2016 (EST)

UV map crap

You might want to check out why that was changed to "unsure". Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:40, 11 December 2016 (EST)

I don't think {{pd-self}} is right for File:MKDDglitch -BabyLuigiUVMap.png and File:MKDDglitch -BabyMarioUVMap.png because the tool you used is viewing copyrighted assets. That's why I tagged as {{don't know}} instead. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:43, 11 December 2016 (EST)

OK, never mind. You changed the license. It's better, but not 100% sure that's where it goes. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:47, 11 December 2016 (EST)

Well, the license talked about homemade sprites and that's the closest thing I find that can be used to describe this, as it's not 100% the official texture, it's a transformation version of it, with the stretching, palette, and the UV coordinates on top of it.

New 3DS Exploit

soundhax - So far, only works on N3DS latest firmware. It looks like O3DS is in the works. Looks like a primary entry point. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:56, 28 December 2016 (EST)

It looks like its available for O3DS now too. If you have the cartridge version of Paper Jam, I'd love to know if it works with HANS.-- 17:22, 29 December 2016 (EST)

I was going to say. Anyways, this one is a bit more elaborate to setup but should still be doable. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:22, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Re:Create a template for proposal outcomes

I've started another proposal that expands upon your proposal from about eight months ago. You may vote on it if you want, but the one thing I want you to take away from it is that nothing from the aforementioned proposal will be changed at all. ^(T|C) 18:16, 31 December 2016 (EST)

RE: FA Archives

Done. L151

Why would you delete my picture?

Why did you delete the picture of Donkey Kong in his P-Wing I uploaded? You just did that because you don't like him, didn't you? --MarioKartDoubleDash (talk) 14:41, 7 January 2017 (EST)

no, I deleted it because it adds nothing to the article. We already have two gameplay screenshots of the P-Wing, a front view and a back view, and I uploaded those images before you did. We don't need redundant images in this wiki. Ray Trace^(T|C) 21:31, 7 January 2017 (EST)

Additionally, the image in question no longer exists and was replaced with this image of DK on the Pipe Frame. 22:08, 7 January 2017 (EST)

Mario Strikers Artwork

Would you or someone else be willing to upload a version of Peach and Waluigi's artworks from Super Mario Strikers with a transparent background so as to replace the older JPEG versions? We need consistency amongst the character artworks. I'd upload one myself, but it has very bad/pixelated transparency. --MarioKartDoubleDash (talk) 20:07, 19 January 2017 (EST)

It would be better to wait until official versions with transparency are released somewhere. Ray Trace^(T|C) 01:48, 20 January 2017 (EST)

LAN image

I couldn't find a good template to try to get someone to replace the image so it's entirely in English, so the image-quality one was the best choice from the ones I could find from the templates category page. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 23:25, 5 February 2017 (EST)

The best option is to just leave it as it is. I couldn't even find a video about LAN play otherwise, they're hard to come across. Ray Trace^(T|C) 00:13, 6 February 2017 (EST)

Featured articles

I left a message on your project talk page showing support for your proposed FA archiving system. Are you planning on creating a proposal on the matter sometime soon? ^(T|C) 19:40, 6 February 2017 (EST)

Heh, that's alright. I have plans to make each column sortable as well, so I'll just continue to read the archive categories. Nonetheless, thanks for the help. ^(T|C) 09:37, 9 February 2017 (EST)

I already have them arranged initially by the time nominated (although this might cause inconsistencies with time zones, but we can deal with that later on), but the reason I'm not making subheaders for the years is because some users may try to organize the headers alphabetically to find a particular article nomination. ^(T|C) 13:01, 9 February 2017 (EST)

If that's the case, then I say we reorganize the categories so that their alphabetical arrangement is consistent. The current setup makes it harder to navigate; you can look at Category:FA failure archives as an example of my point. The first six archives listed there are already problematic. The Blooper nomination is listed before the Bike nomination, and the second and third nominations of Baby Mario are listed around the third nomination for Boo, and the Paper Mario bestiary nomination is listed between the second Baby Mario nomination and the Bike nomination! Reorganizing these archives may require admin intervention (since they're, well, archives) but that might be a good start for fixing up the actually totally-out-of-shape Featured Articles archives. ^(T|C) 13:45, 9 February 2017 (EST)

That sounds like a good idea. Though I can tell you at least two things that I feel need to be addressed:

• The nomination number. What I mean by that is, was the nomination first/second/third/whatever for that particular article? If you take a look at my table, you might understand what I mean.
• An extensive color code, which, again, I have included in my table. I feel that it might be important so that users don't just assume right off the bat that an article is featured/unfeatured when it in fact had its FA status changed. I also decided on the color scheme I implemented to remain consistent with the Proposals archive.

Yes, I will definitely edit your table to the best of my ability. Perhaps we might be closer than we think to proposing this... ^(T|C) 14:43, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Sure I can do Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach's stuff. However, the tennis CSS has PGP and Metal Mario unlocked. I have yet to unlcok Metal Mario in baseball, so I guess the tennis one will do. Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:58, 14 March 2017 (EDT)

You're doing other images too that are not from the recent 3DS release? I wanted those to be overwritten too when I was doing Bogey for Mario Golf (Nintendo 64) with high quality replacements but had no idea who to turn to. Now I know and I appreciate your effort to get those images replaced. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 04:45, 16 March 2017 (EDT)

Why thanks a lot for the remark! Fortunately, since HANs works in my 3DS, I can now retake Mario Party: Star Rush screenshots. This might take a while to get to @.@ Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:30, 16 March 2017 (EDT)

Mario Sports Superstars

Do you know the people that edit the ===Mario Sports Superstars=== page? Do you know who enables people to edit the ===Mario Sports Superstars=== page. If so, could I have access to edit that page?

You have to make five edits and wait four days to be "autoconfirmed." Autoconfirmed users can edit more pages, like Mario Sports Superstars. Sorry for the inconvenience. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 20:35, 18 March 2017 (EDT)

To answer that first question, 90% of the work on the Mario Sports Superstars page is my own mostly because typically, these pages don't get that much attention, so I felt like I had to step in (and because I loved the game a lot) to do much of the work. If you want suggestions on how to improve the page while you wait to be autoconfirmed, try speaking to me or posting it on a talk page. Ray Trace^(T|C) 21:10, 18 March 2017 (EDT)

RE: Scarescraper

For some strange reason, I can't get Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon to load with HANS. It stays stuck on invalidated icache. I have been able to do it before since September 2016. Just to make sure it wasn't me on 11.3.0-36, I tested Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and that worked perfectly. I tested this on an older version and latest version of HANS. I don't know what is going on with me. I'm going to have to investigate this further over on /r/3dshacks on Reddit. Report back to me if you have issues too (along with what version of the 3DS firmware you are using). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:42, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

Still, I miss having fun and having discussions with everyone here, and at the very least, I have a few unfinished projects to go through.

Galleries with Media

Gallery:Baby Luigi - During the voting period of the proposal, some galleries were using media files with the OGG extension and pages are hard-linking to the files. It's on the to-do list of pages to modify. It's not many. It's mostly Mario Party (series) and Mario Kart (series) pages that are doing that. Any template that uses a song or music parameter. You can follow the conversation of related dealings here. pwb.py replace -start:! -ns:Gallery ".ogg" ".oga". You can continue doing that to galleries if you want, but keep in mind that if the bot is working in that namespace, your edits could interfere with its operation. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 19:58, 3 May 2017 (EDT)

Thanks for letting me know that. I just want to make Baby Luigi-related edits, so I don't really want to edit all galleries. It'd be my last. Ray Trace^(T|C) 20:03, 3 May 2017 (EDT)

MP7 Screenshot

Do you think you can take a screenshot of File:Donkey's Tree House.png with Boo instead of Toadette so that way it can replace File:MP7 Jump Man.jpg?

Craw

I was actually about to make a Category:Carrion Birds to put them and the various vultures and condors in, but now that I see that all the names for Dark Craw are derived from members of the Crow family, I suppose it should go there instead. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:17, 23 August 2017 (CT)

Kaibado would be a Corvid, but I'd say Jibberjay should be classified under Parrots, because that's solely a punny English name referring to their motor-mouthed nature. Most other languages reference parrots, except one which instead references toucans. They look like parrots and like to talk nonstop, which is fairly indicative of parrots ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYcWA_RNl1s ). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:02, 23 August 2017 (CT)

Just posting this for records-sake, played Score Scuffle again (it has been a while, admittedly) and there is a unique 4-player version to the mode. 16:36, 25 November 2017 (EST)

Pedantry

As a reminder of one of the most insignificant rules, image captions shouldn't end with a period if they're a sentence fragment. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 14:55, 28 November 2017 (EST)

Will I get banned for this? Ray Trace^(T|C) 18:16, 28 November 2017 (EST)

You're not going to be banned for not doing this, but it's a part of our manual of style. It'd be best to keep everything consistent. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 10:33, 29 November 2017 (EST)

Mario Party: The Top 100

You've done amazing work with the Mario Party: The Top 100 page, but forgive me if I keep pushing until every section is up to snuff. The descriptions for the other characters are good, but the text gets squished on mobile. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 10:33, 29 November 2017 (EST)

It now takes up 50% of the space. The text is certainly more readable, but it doesn't seem ideal. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 14:26, 29 November 2017 (EST)

Would a full-fledged table work without images, or do you have a plan for that? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 14:29, 29 November 2017 (EST)

Sounds good!

On a related note, Mario Party 9 and Mario Party: Star Rush have the same issue (actually, MP9 might be worse off since its minigame section is entirely empty). Do you think it'd be possible to take care of them? Hello, I'm Time Turner. 20:13, 29 November 2017 (EST)

Apology

I am sorry for my attitude towards you a few years ago. Was logging on some old sites that I still remembered vaguely and noticed that I have been rude to you.

So Baby Luigi, I apologize for my behavior towards you on unnecessary edits that I have mad and you deleted. I hope you forgive me for my actions.

Hey did you notice that if you click on the link to the nomination page on Mario Hoops 3-on-3 it brings you to the archived, failed nomination. Is there any way to fix that? I'm not familiar with how the Template:FASTAT works. DKPetey99^TCE

Yea thanks I was really confused at first. I'm going to look into the points you made to in order to improve the article. DKPetey99^TCE

Ok, I think I'm going to work on a Controls Section. I feel that is useful to add to the Gameplay. DKPetey99^TCE

Thanks, I was just about to actually tell you I finished it. DKPetey99^TCE

Yea, I uploaded all of those sprite pictures last night when I found the game's manual online and screenshotted and cropped them. Obviously, the quality sucks, but hopefully we can figure something out. It's the best we have so far. DKPetey99^TCE

That is where I got them from, lol. I'm not the slightest bit skilled with image and sprite ripping so what I uploaded last night and put onto the page was the best I could manage. DKPetey99^TCE

FA

I just tuned up the character section. Tell me what you think. DKPetey99^TCE

Ok, I fixed it. I think characters and items are fine now. What else did you want to do? DKPetey99^TCE

I'll work on that. DKPetey99^TCE

What else does the page need? DKPetey99^TCE

I found a video with only two of the Coin Hunter courses, but that's definitely a start. Maybe later I'll fire up some of my old DS's and play the other two courses. DKPetey99^TCE

Wario edit

It still works for something anyway, because it's proof. And plus, as I told you before, Wario is not Bowser, and he isn't evil in the first place, just greedy. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 18:33, 24 December 2017 (EST)

What the picture means is that Wario actually cares for more things than greed and power--he also cares about his closest friends, even if he is not necessarily a good guy. But that's the point, if he's not black and white, then isn't he also a nicer guy at his core with a lot of flaws? That's why the statement needs to be there. It doesn't matter how bad Wario and Waluigi are, the picture shows that they genuinely care about each other and will always have each other's back. We already talk so much about his bad habits and personality, so why not talk about his softer side, which this picture shows? Even just that one paragraph would do enough for the section. And let me guess, you disagreed with my edit and removed it obviously because you hate Wario and you're out to get him. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 18:55, 24 December 2017 (EST)

And that's exactly why it deserves to be there. Even with your interpretation, that's just like Bowser and Bowser Jr's relationship, and as we all know, they are both morality pets for each other. It's pretty much the same thing here regardless of interpretation, and the only difference in our interpretations is to what extent does it show his softer side. The paragraph I put in there still allows for multiple interpretations, because it says he seems to have a softer side, not that he explicitly does have a softer side. Know the difference between these two. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 19:15, 24 December 2017 (EST)

Who said Wario had to look soft in that picture? He's just showing his more caring and nice side by helping out his old buddy, Waluigi, and although Wario and Waluigi have a not-exact relationship, they are, at the very least, two best friends who found each other and have had each other's back since then. I think the picture does show that Wario does care about Waluigi enough to help him the way he does, because after all, they both want to beat the Mario Bros, and all they've got is each other. After all, at the very least, they are two bad guys who found each other. And plus, aren't they not black-and-white characters and more morally ambiguous people? That picture is one of the rare sources that show them actually helping each other out and caring for each other. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 19:31, 24 December 2017 (EST)

This isn't about Wario's treatment towards Waluigi, it's how that picture of them shows his more nicer and more caring side. Again, he's a morally ambiguous and greedy anti-hero, not a villain who wants to dominate the world. He's not driven by any desire to rule the world or destroy anything good, he's driven by his contempt and jealousy for Mario and his greed, so that picture which shows him actually care about and help someone, in this case Waluigi, would show the white and nicer side in his ambiguous and gray personality. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 19:47, 24 December 2017 (EST)

Uh, I'm not so sure about that. Wario may be willing to drop some baddies to get his hands on more money, but he has nowhere near a similar mindset as those with the desire to dominate the world. He's just a guy with an ego who wants money and is willing to gain it if he thinks the price is worth it to gain that money, but he still has friends, and he cares for them, and that's what the picture shows. He's more of a guy who would play crude pranks on Mario to stroke his ego than to outright throw him into the lava to get his hands on money, and it shows multiple times. Also, he does do things solely for the advancement of his own goals, but again, he's only going to go so far when it comes down to it, and he's not going to cross his own line. He's not evil, he's just a jerk with a softer side that only his closest friends know about, and I think that picture shows it. But when it comes down to this, is it just a matter of opinion or what? We both have really good points, you know. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 20:00, 24 December 2017 (EST)

And do you think that the loose representations of Wario here are precisely what make him so morally ambiguous in the first place? In fact, for this very reason, do you think that the entire Mario franchise is becoming morally ambiguous, or is it just still black-and-white as it usually is? If you want to know my answer, I think it's pretty obvious, that it's just a mostly black-and-white franchise with some moral ambiguity. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 20:09, 24 December 2017 (EST)

Yeah, you're right, but I like to do that sometimes. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 20:13, 24 December 2017 (EST)

Re:YIDS

Spriter's Resource, why? I'm looking to improve the levels section to match it with SMW2's. DKPetey99^TCE

Because the pictures are small, but once it's on the page it's gonna look fine because I'm gonna format them small. Look at the levels section for SMW2 and you'll see what I'm going for, DKPetey99^TCE

Oh sorry ok. If you want to make the table yourself you can, I didn't realize it was your idea. My bad. DKPetey99^TCE

Wow that looks a lot better. How do you improve the quality? DKPetey99^TCE

Oh, I see. If you want to carry on with the whole project go ahead. I'll finish uploading the MH3o3 Media. DKPetey99^TCE

I'm still gauging melonDS's usefulness compared to DeSmuME. I'm finding the early alpha releases crude and not worth it yet. My page does mention it, but doesn't recommend using it. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:35, 25 December 2017 (EST)

I've been struggling getting that working in melonDS. It's very hit or miss right now. I was looking to replace File:DixieSwing65.png because of its non-compliance of policy, but melonDS reports some conflicts when trying to establish an emulated link. To contrast, I can get multipak Game Boy Advance support working in mGBA. The emulated link method should work the same. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 09:34, 26 December 2017 (EST)

Is the separation of T. and S. Chinese languages done?

If you remember a few days ago, I asked if T. (Traditional) and S. (Simplified) should be seperated. You agreed with this decision, and I even showed the current way we put them in the language list. Are you done with it yet? Gold Luigi (talk) 05:44, 31 December 2017 (EST)

I am fine with it. Ray Trace^(T|C) 13:56, 31 December 2017 (EST)

Vote Removal

If I didn't listen to other people's comments, then I would not have made the huge edits to the reception section and the edits to the intro that I included. I did listen, but I still thought the article still warranted being featured. My opinion still counts, you know. Lcrossmk8 (talk) 16:29, 2 January 2018 (EST)

Mario Hoops

Hey I fixed the two remaining red links by creating an article for the Coin Hunter courses. BTW, "Forest Stage" is really "Strange Forest", I'm not sure where the person who first put Forest Stage into the article got that name from, but whatever. The article seems pretty good to me. DKPetey99^TCE

I completely forgot about the Toads' roles in the game. I just added them. I am 100% certain now that the article is missing nothing. Let me know if you remember anything else though. DKPetey99^TCE

y u do dis

https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mario_Kart:_Double_Dash!!&diff=2361852&oldid=2361851 I challenge you to name one game in the series other than this one where there are only three objects without eyes. This is the only game I've seen with Fire Bars, Pyramids, Volcanoes, signs, etc having eyes. Just because mushrooms usually have eyes and hills have had eyes in maybe 6 games doesn't make Double Dash's overdoing it any less notable. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:19, 17 January 2018 (EST)

I still think the trivia itself is a bit of a ridiculous thing to point out. It's like saying Super Mario 64 is the only game in the series that has butterflies that can explode. The meaning of what constitutes as an "object" is still fairly unclear to me, since there are also Mushroom City/Bridge cars, Cataquaks, Daisy Cruiser tables, boats, hot air balloons, and other stuff in the scenery that aren't obstacles that do not have eyes. And we're also comparing the background objects in that game towards other completely unrelated games in the Mario series, like say in Mario Party, it could come with an overall higher net number of background objects having eyes due to a huger variety of scenes and characters than Mario Kart. I really don't think this trivia is good enough to stay on there. Ray Trace^(T|C) 23:31, 17 January 2018 (EST)

Yushee

While it's hard to find any sort of "official" citation for that sort of thing, as a former fan of the Weegee fad, I can say "just search it on Google images and you'll find 50 bazillion pictures of _MiM_ DOS Yoshi." Also, Bowser is Boozuh, just FYI. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:06, 20 January 2018 (EST)

I guess we could insert a reference that leads to the google search result of "Yushee", "Malleo", and "Boozuh". I don't think they're as widespread as Weegee, as the only mention I've seen of Yushee is some comments about Yoshi's sprite sheet from MFGG. Ray Trace^(T|C) 18:08, 20 January 2018 (EST)

Probably unnecessary TBH. Memes are just such a volatile thing, you know? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:13, 20 January 2018 (EST)

That's why I'm not especially a fan of documenting them in wikis. We know they're there, but it's extremely difficult to pinpoint sources for them, as they're not really quantitative. Ray Trace^(T|C) 18:13, 20 January 2018 (EST)

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions Minion Quest

What, you're telling me that the adventure is exclusive to the remake? No! It's been in the making in the original game itself. After all, the remake has the exact same story as the original, so this would be an untold story, right? Lcrossmk8 (talk) 23:00, 27 January 2018 (EST)

The minion's quest portion of the game is indeed exclusive to the remake. Ray Trace^(T|C) 23:08, 27 January 2018 (EST)

It's an untold adventure, though. It fills up the plot holes and really ties the two stories together into one story. What's the deal? Lcrossmk8 (talk) 23:11, 27 January 2018 (EST)

The adventure isn't found in the original game. It's made for the remake. Therefore, it's exclusive to the remake. Ray Trace^(T|C) 23:17, 27 January 2018 (EST)

It's been in the making ever since the original game. Is this some sort of Mario 64 and Mario 64 DS type of situation? Lcrossmk8 (talk) 23:25, 27 January 2018 (EST)
