:::I might do that eventually, but now that the [[Super Mario Bros. 3#Objects|Objects table]] on the SMB3 article is finally complete as it should be, I think I've had enough for the time being. If you want to continue where I left off, I've been taking screenshots with Mesen, isolating the sprites against a transparent background with [https://www.getpaint.net/ Paint.NET], and animating GIFs out of those sprites with [https://ezgif.com/maker ezgif.com]. The only caveat with ezgif.com is that the animation speed is very slightly imprecise, because it can only display a frame with precision to a hundredth of a second (so most frames will display for 0.13 seconds, instead of exactly 8/60 frames per second ≈ 0.133333... seconds), but it should do the job just fine. {{User:ThePowerPlayer/sig}} 21:20, June 5, 2023 (EDT) | :::I might do that eventually, but now that the [[Super Mario Bros. 3#Objects|Objects table]] on the SMB3 article is finally complete as it should be, I think I've had enough for the time being.

::::Yeah, I use Paint.net and unFREEZ, myself, which works similar.

I have found that MESEN cannot open Disk System games, but NEStopia can. I can tell the palette on it is better than FCEUX's weird pinkness, but I am not sure about how it compares to MESEN. Do you know? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 10:28, July 14, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:I took a screenshot of World 1-1 of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' in both Nestopia and Mesen to compare their palettes directly, and they use almost exactly the same, hardware-accurate palette by default. Most of the colors' RGB values matched exactly between the emulators, and when there was a difference, it was only ever by a single unit. These are the colors that differed: | |||
:*Dark green: RGB (13, 147, 0) on Nestopia, and (12, 147, 0) on Mesen. | |||
:*Pink: RGB (255, 204, 197) on Nestopia, and (254, 204, 197) on Mesen. | |||
:*White: RGB (255, 255, 255) on Nestopia, and (255, 254, 255) on Mesen. | |||
:There might also be some extraordinarily minor differences between other colors, but regardless, for all intents and purposes, the palettes are identical. {{User:ThePowerPlayer/sig}} 14:29, July 14, 2023 (EDT) | |||

== Your proposal == | |||
I read your "italicizing merchandise" proposal, as here's what I think. According to the section "Apps and video games" on [https://www.grammarly.com/blog/italics/ Grammarly], titles of board games, card games, and other such games shouldn't be italicized. However, if the title of a video game, movie, or any other such thing is in the title of a tabletop game, I think only that part should be italicized (as I've done on articles such as [[Super Mario Labyrinth|''Super Mario'' Labyrinth]], [[Mario Kart Wii Grand Prix|''Mario Kart Wii'' Grand Prix]], and [[Jenga: Super Mario Edition|Jenga: ''Super Mario'' Edition]]), not the entire tabletop game. Is there a way you could add that option to your proposal? [[User:Dwhitney|Dwhitney]] ([[User talk:Dwhitney|talk]]) 14:05, June 11, 2023 (EDT) | |||
:Unfortunately, although your point is valid, I don't think I'd be able to change the proposal now that more than 3 days have passed since I created it, per rule 14 of [[MarioWiki:Proposals]]. I've read Grammarly's article about italics, and I have some thoughts which I've elaborated upon in the comments to my proposal. {{User:ThePowerPlayer/sig}} 20:04, June 11, 2023 (EDT) | |||
