== Help with a project (continued from archive 4) ==

What I meant was: could you help document what we don't have on Super Mario RPG's prerelease page that was found in that store of information? If you can, that would be great, but no pressure. Thanks! -- {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 19:03, November 26, 2023 (EST)

== Super Mario chart images 2 ==

Hi, again, Doc. The exchange we had the other day was helpful. I had subsequently updated the chart image sizes on the ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' page, and I was hoping to get your opinion. How does it look? I did not go as big as the current images on the ''Sunshine'' article, but they are bigger than they [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_Galaxy&diff=4059849&oldid=4048212 use to be]. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 10:04, November 27, 2023 (EST)
:They do seem a ''little'' small, but not in dire need of enlargement. I'd personally go a little bigger, but I'll check again later when I'm not only just getting up and still have my eyes adjusted to dark.

== About the Luigi's Mansion series bat ==

Hey, sorry for bothering you, I saw you have 'Merge Bat (Mario Kart 64) and Bat (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon) into a generic "Bat (species)" article' in your "current goals", and I just wanted to say that I don't think that's a good idea. The LM2 and LM3 pests do look pretty generic, and they're referred to accordingly by English sources, but, you see those [citation needed] names in the NioL sections? Turns out the ones for the crow (which I intend to split eventually) and spider are used in game, so I believe the others are probably correct as well, possibly from some Japanese guide. I guess what I'm saying is, there's reason to believe they're supposed to be unique, albeit generic looking, recurring enemies. [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 16:48, November 27, 2023 (EST)
:I'll just wait and see, then. Generic bats have appeared elsewhere, like in VB Wario Land and DK64 (as a recurring foreground species, not the enemy). [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:52, November 27, 2023 (EST)

== Re:Icons ==

Oh, no: the icon themselves it's not cropped, the sprite sheet is cropped to contain just the icon, the surrounding transparent space was not touched. --{{User:Mariuigi_Khed/sig}} 18:19, December 2, 2023 (EST)

== my edit to Sayonara ==

i was not aware of the words actual meaning. i apologize for my mistake i just assumed it was bad due to the way my grandma uses it {{unsigned|Gamerfromsaturn}}
:Well, it's highly unfortunate that she does, but all that matters here is you learned from this. Don't worry. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 10:52, December 4, 2023 (EST)

== Machine Made ==

Pardon my edit, I was mistaken; it was specifically Bowyer's Machine Made copy that didn't move in the original game. I misremembered and thought none of them did. Is that still worth noting for just him? [[User:DrakeyC|DrakeyC]] ([[User talk:DrakeyC|talk]]) 20:53, December 11, 2023 (EST)

== Red Gnawty image ==

Hi ^^

The image itself is good, but it stands out because its pose isn't the same as the one used for the others. Thanks for telling me about the image size, I managed to compress it just right. Do you think it would be ok to use it? I can send it to you if you want [[User:Pifouillou]] ([[User talk:Pifouillou|talk]])
:Other images for DKCGB are different from each other (sometimes out of necessity, like walking vs jumping Kritters). I think it's nice to show variety until we get the full animations in. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 10:05, December 13, 2023 (EST)
The full animations ? What do you want to mean by that? I like the idea to show variety in sprites with the gifs, but it's a little odd when GBC's regular and red Gnawties sprites are side by side. [[User:Pifouillou]] ([[User talk:Pifouillou|talk]])
:Full animations would be the animated .gifs. Showing them on a different frame is fine if they're still, though it doesn't really matter either way. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 12:37, December 13, 2023 (EST)

== Bowser's Fury gallery ==

I'm wondering if you had [[Gallery:Bowser's Fury|this]] in mind with your proposal for a seperate page for Bowser's Fury? I'm skeptical because I once proposed splitting a gallery for [[Donkey Kong Adventure]] from the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle gallery which failed badly for reasons I now understand. I didn't want to revert it without seeing what you have to say about it first. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 21:32, January 1, 2024 (EST)
:In that case, it's still the same game, just with different characters and location, so it's not 1:1. If splits involving paid DLC expansions get more traction down the line (especially with MK8DX's highly delayed content), then that might be worth revisiting. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:34, January 1, 2024 (EST)
::What about the Bowser's Fury gallery then, which was my main question? {{User:Swallow/sig}} 21:36, January 1, 2024 (EST)
::I don't really see an issue with it. All the content in it is exclusive to the B-Side mode, which as previously established act as its own separate game. And if you consider the sheer size of the M&L remake galleries (especially regarding sprites), splitting them makes sense purely from a workability standpoint.

I know I had a bit of an angry outburst, as I said I felt the need to vent the turn of these debates from the fact I left my thoughts on the subject and you immediately started bringing more cases into it.

I probably could have left out the word "stupid", but I still really don't like when more cases get piled up on me like that.

== Trapeze ==

This isn't important, but where in the real-world is a trapeze considered to be a seated board? I am not a circus savant, but I am not familiar with any source anywhere that asserts that a trapeze is anything except a bar suspended by rope on both ends. A legitimate trapeze cannot be anything other than that. Unless some authority I don't know about asserts this elsewhere, based on its context within the game, I do not think it is appropriate or accurate to suggest "trapeze" is an acceptable translation for the board in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 16:51, February 22, 2024 (EST)
:An acrobat swing is a thing that "trapeze" can refer to, while "swing" can also be used for the grab-bars. Either way, the names in Japanese there are literally shared, so not mentioning both on both pages feels mildly disingenuous in my opinion. I always saw the SMS and SMG objects as variations of the same thing, myself. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:46, February 22, 2024 (EST)
::Ah, I see. I think a trapeze is a ''type'' of swing, but it is not accurate to say all swings ''are'' trapezes, or that the terms can be used interchangeably. A trapeze is a bar suspended by ropes at both ends. If the subject is anything but that, it is not a trapeze.
::If anything, I think it would be more accurate to change Japanese name on the [[Trapeze]] page to just say "swing", especially since a trapeze is more narrowly referred to as 空中ブランコ (Kūchū Buranko, "air swing") in Japanese, and the Japanese text only calls them ブランコ (Buranko). But I still don't think it is accurate to say the name of the Sunshine board can be translated to "trapeze". It just isn't one, and I don't think it was intended for it to be seen as one. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 18:08, February 22, 2024 (EST)

== About Aliens (yes, really) ==

We saw that there was a discussion to potentially delete [[Alien (Club Nintendo)]] and we had some time to kill, so we went ahead and reworked the entire article. Let us know how it looks--hopefully, a lot better, and some have mentioned it might not be worth deleting anymore (albeit, the older revision is probably fit for preservation on BJAODN... ;P)

P.S. sorry we haven't gotten around to the Thieves category. Rest assured, we did not forget! It's just that this year has been extremely hectic thus far, and we're waiting for a relative moment of pause before we re-commit to a larger project like that. {{User:Camwoodstock/sig}} 02:32, February 23, 2024 (EST)

== Ricco Harbor and Gelato Beach polluted pirahna plants. ==

been awhile since I've played the game, and since I've put that there, but that is exactly how it happened. done it once or twice, when the state of the plaza with the plants show up I was trying to do all of Bianco Hills, and when I got my next shine and returned to the plaza, the next plaza state was up with the boathouse resurfaced with the portal active, and the same thing happened to the lighthouse when it's event came around. If I recall this was on the original Gamecube version as well. Not sure if it has to be an uncollected shine, or one already obtained will suffice. But that is how it happened, I know for a fact I did not fight those Pirhana plants. Would say maybe it was a glitch, but then why did it happen at both times? regardless that was my experience and how it happened. all i did was collect shines instead of fighting them and the game treated it as if they were dealt with.[[User:Pikmin theories|Pikmin theories]] ([[User talk:Pikmin theories|talk]]) 01:55, March 10, 2024 (EST)
:Well I always do exactly that and it has ''never'' happened to me. Did you interact with them in any way at all? Also, what region? I'm playing on the US release. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 12:39, March 10, 2024 (EDT)

== RE:Portrificationizer ==

The way I see it, besides the part about the vandalism, is that it's an overused and overdone joke that's been done better elsewhere. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 19:57, March 25, 2024 (EDT)

== Proposal cleaned up ==

I cleaned up [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Broaden the scope of the &lcub;&lcub;unreferenced&rcub;&rcub; template|my proposal]] by adding the <code><nowiki><pre></nowiki></code> tags. You should take a look at what the template will look like from above. What do you think how my proposal looks? {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 21:10, March 30, 2024 (EDT)
:Don't ask me, ask YoYo. I think it looks fine now. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:15, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

==Sprite Prince Iggy==
Isn't Iggy one of the few ''Super Princess Peach'' Koopalings where we have a pretty good idea of the intended assembly, though? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDvkMnewQPo&t=578s Here] is the test room with Iggy in his idle animation, and [https://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/shr/spp/lwarp.html here] is a better picture of it with the fog disabled. The "taller" shading looks a bit rougher, so I think they were at least going to go with a shorter Iggy before abandoning the Koopalings.

:I suppose, but with the fogless one being a still image that's still not too much to go off of. His mouth also appears to be lolling open the entire time there as well, so it doesn't seem complete.
