Fan wikis are expected to be comprehensive. And the Super Mario Wiki, certainly, is comprehensive. We have pages about the games, tv, shows, etc as well as their characters, items, gameplay mechanics and so on! That's great and how it should be! Recently that exhaustivity has extended to more...
Man this is a tough one. The ethical implication of using archive.today would be a lot easier to handwave if using the service at all didn't serve as a proxy to DDoS some guy's blog, and mirroring the content on wayback machine or recreating it on some other ressource is not really viable...
Undid Water SKip
Another good sign for telling if a page has being souped is having independant clauses awkwardly combined, such as the above where "This move allows him to bounce on water, which is effective for reaching far or higher areas that the [[Kong]]s cannot reach themselves. This...
Undid Rock Kroc. I checked the other DKC enemies page, but beside a weird fixation with replacing mentions of "the GBC port" and "the GBA port" with the "first remake" and "second remake", his edits there are uncharacteristically non-destructive.
To add to what was said in post #13, one of his...
Super Mario RPG (aka Super Game Gear, henceforth referred to as "SGG" because we don't want to besmirch the good name of Square's kino) was a highly prolific editor up until his ban in 2025. Highly dedicated to the cause of "making the wiki more professional" and "removing unencyclopedic...
It's more like if one guy involved in the production of the SMW cartoon clung on Oogtar, did a comic / web animation starring Oogtar and literally nothing else recognizable from the property where he's isekai'd, and published it on Deviantart, Youtube or [insert other platform that has no...
Porplemontage had the good foresight to squat the handle, and after doing some thunking, I decided I wasn't as done with the social media presence thing as I thought. So hereby here's our new Bluesky account, making its grand debut with a post bitching about the poor quality of the Super Mario...
The text of the IGN review reads like all the criticism people have of the recent games.
Padding? over-tutorialization? Autopilot humor and writing? Yup, sounds like Dream Team-onwards M&L alright.
Today, the English fan translation patch for Medarot 3 (Game Boy Color RPG) got its 1.0 release, and to my surprise, I got a shout-out on the release page! Very happy about it.
I have a confession to make: I was paid off by Big Nintendo to astroturf interest in the Nintendo Switch game "Crazy Galaxy" on the Super Mario WIki and its twitter account. However, the game was cancelled and I am now destitute.
I'm not a lawyer either, so my read on the situation is as follow. It could be bullshit. I don't know. That's how I see it.
-Since mariowiki's servers are hoted in the US (AFIK), Fair Use can be used as a defense. It's not a silver bullet like the internet would lead you to believe - the wiki...
I generated this one a few weeks ago. I was quite happy that ChatGPT understood Noshi's character in all his facets such as him being apparently a Mario Kart racer and his famed "lighting fast reflexes"
Let me tell you the tale of Army Men.
In the early 90's, one Trip Hawkins had big dreams and left his cushy job as founder and CEO of Electronic Arts to found The 3DO Company and release its self-titled console. The console bombed because the business model was never viable and loaded with...
Lmao, a friend pointed me to your edit about that one kickstarter trailer that had broque monsieur in it and, long story short, we now got the insider scoop on that https://twitter.com/GdnkBomb/status/1754692027978260980
Speaking as the unremarkably-sized pooblah of the wiki's twitter, I personally have no interest in expanding to other social medias, and neither did Shokora when we talked about it. Whenever Elon inevitably pisses on the twitter master servers or something, I'll just call it quit.
The current...
I don't think voice actors credits need to be sourced with hard, capital A academic sources, because yes in many instances it's impossible and not even the actor themselves remember. But I do think it needs to be walked through to the reader in some way, even if it's as simple as "This character...
I disagree with the notion. This is very red carpet as far as announcing a voice actor recast goes. Video games are not movies or even TV shows. Vanishingly few people are going to buy a video game on the basis of who voice the characters and this stuff is rarely publicitized unless they got a...
The writing was on the wall with them moving to AI recordings for the Mario in Real time exhibits but it still feels so sudden.
I wasn't in love with his performance as Mario but it's undeniable Charles was a big part of the character's identity for the past 30-ish years. I wish him the best...
Well yes, if it's true, it is worth mentioning. What I object to is listing to it in this way, like he sat down in the recording booth to make sound for those games like he did for Saturday Supercade.
I think a better way to do it would be to make separate sections when a voice clip is reused...
The topic of dubbing and voice actors attracts a lot of very passionate people, and with that, a lot of overeagerness. Our page for quote-unquote voice actors are not exempt. I observe three recurring problems:
- If someone who has another role in production but was asked to record a few grunts...
