The sandbox (MarioWiki:Sandbox) is a wiki namespace page designed for testing and experimenting with wiki syntax. Feel free to try your skills at formatting here: Click on edit, make your changes, then click "Save changes" when you are finished. Content added here will not stay permanently. Feel free to remove any content when you think this page gets too crammed. This is not a page to chat.

Please do not fill the sandbox with memes. A little joking is fine, but if the sandbox is oversaturated with memes or jokes unrelated to testing, the jokes and memes in the sandbox will be removed. If you need further help editing, visit our help page.
