I just dreamt that the Mario Galaxy Movie only had the characters go to space for like the first ten minutes, during which they mostly fought titans from Attack on Titan on a desolate planet. Then they went back to Earth to find out Wart stole Peach's coin hoard while they were gone, and that...
I'm iffy on aggregating information on promotional materials and advergames into lists, or otherwise tie it to a parent article, because these can quickly become unwieldily large. The contents of the SMBPlumbing.com article used to be hosted in the "Promotion" section for The Mario Movie...
I expressed my gripes with the current coverage of those promotional Nintendo.com articles and reviews here. In short, I echo the OP that, when a subject's maximum coverage potential amounts to repackaging copy-pasted material in dedicated wiki pages, the actual informational value of the site...
So Megalodon cannot fetch archive.today snapshots anymore, and some of the current archive.today captures haven't been backed up anyhow. This includes the character page from the European Mario Tennis Open site, which is/should be cited on "Profiles and statistics" pages.
How do we go around...
Addendum: if you use Megalodon to archive an AT snapshot of a Xitter post, then click on any photo in the captured post, you will be redirected to X.com through archive.md, which is an archive.today domain. Now, from my understanding, your traffic is used in that DDoS only if you encounter the...
In that Wikipedia talk, someone suggested using megalodon.jp instead. What's particularly useful about it is that you can use it to archive archives from archive.today. I just did using a snapshot cited on our wiki! Look!

This wiki, being an informational resource, relies actively and extensively on digital archives to cite info. Wayback Machine may be the most widely used and prestigious option, both here and overall, but it has its limitations (cannot parse Java Script too well, excludes certain sites), which...
Seeing Mouser is great, but when Keegan Key said there'd be "deep-cuts", my mind mostly went to characters like Oogtar or Uncle Kong. Whereas Mouser is a recurring set piece in a mainline Mario game. A very old mainline Mario game, but still.
My ranking of Mario Karts I played in the last few years (excludes Mario Kart Wii since I haven't touched that in a decade.)
1. MK 8 Deluxe: very tight controls, roster is excellent (as of the BCP), graphics stand the test of time
2. Super Circuit: challenging but fun to learn, very engaging...
^ These come in similar packaging and are sold all over the American web. I also personally spotted them in passing at Jamin (a huge candy retail store chain in the Netherlands), so clearly they're being shipped across the high seas, too. This is a bit eyebrow-raising as they don't look...
My uncle's neighbour's wife's boyfriend works at Nintendo and told me this was consciously done so Baby Luigi always keeps warm in case someone decides to play as him in a snowy course. I have it on good authority they love and care for him, which is why sacrifices sometimes need be made.
Lurch from season 1 of "Wednesday" is running for mayor in Bucharest. He's endorsed by a small-time nationalist party (that no one cares about, not even hardcore nationalists). I'm not making this up one bit.
What does everyone think about this manner of listing appearances vs. the previous one? Now the lists adapt to the aspect ratio of a user's screen or browser window instead of stretching in a continuous row. If you're on desktop, try resizing your browser window and see the magic happen in real...
If you're talking about the Green Star missions, you can skip both the intro cutscenes and the Mario flying cutscenes for those, even if it's the first time you play them. (In the Switch version; can't remember the Wii version.)
Agreed, and Mario Wonder still has a similar, "select level from a...
Not every newly-introduced track in Mario Kart is a Nitro track. That term exclusively refers to the non-retro tracks in Mario Kart DS.
Example:
- Desert Hills, Airship Fortress, Peach Gardens are Nitro tracks.
- Dolphin Shoals, Whistletop Summit, and Piranha Plant Pipeline are not Nitro...
I dreamed that the Switch version of Mario Galaxy 2 had a secret level in world 3 where you had to beat Mike Tyson using motion controls. Nobody had beaten that level yet, because that simulation of Tyson was extremely accurate to how he fought in real life, but I did it. Then I unlocked another...
Spring Mushroom by far. It reminds me how much better the concept was executed in Donkey Kong Country 2 with Rattly the Snake. He at least has no momentum that actively works against your controls and he doesn't take an eternity to perform his extra high bounces.
You know an item is bad when...
More emphasis on the incredibly underused Red Star power-up, perhaps by giving Mario the ability to fly freely between planets with it in certain stages. Think that one Red Coin mission in Mario 64 where you're in the clouds and you fly between platforms using the Wing Cap.
Improve the stiff...
I had Galaxy 2 on the Wii back in the day, but I no longer have access to it, so I bought it again on Switch.
I like Mario games in general, but the Galaxy games have always been extremely, detrimentally addicting to me. I'm legit fighting multiple urges to pick up Galaxy 2 in my spare time...
vellidragon on Bluesky provided screencaps of some promotional Mario content from the Actimel app (per open request from the Mario Wiki account) and inadvertently unearthed a brand new remake of an older render
It's not every day that you find a Yoshi in your yogurt.
The user had a scorched-earth approach to Smash Bros. content (and non-Mario content in general) that I and others even criticized him for back in the day. That would explain his removing the Smash Bros. section for Item Box, plus maybe a perception that much of what is written there is...
I love Miis. They're very simple avatars, but they're clearly a trademark of Nintendo and I wish they would cram them into everything so I can immortalize my family and friends in Mario.
How do you pronounce Prince Pikante's name? Is it like "piquant"? Or like the Spanish "picante" (as the wiki says)? In my head I always tend to read it as "pike-uhnt" (like the fish) lol
I don't know if it has been confirmed anywhere, but Nintendo pointed to some possible options in a poll:
https://web.archive.org/web/20250711122414/https://play.nintendo.com/activities/opinion-polls/toad-backpack-poll/
the two most popular candidates right now are a Super Gem display case and...

Rare interview with Toad from Super Mario Bros. for Nintendo Official Magazine UK. Emphasis on "official".
Takeaways:
-Before working for Nintendo, Toad had a stint as one of the enemy mushrooms in the Atari game "Centipede"...
In 40 years, he's rescued princesses, saved entire worlds and dimensions, built a polyvalent business empire based in sports, culture, and (k)arts, and learned how a meatball feels.
None of these accomplishments are enough to keep Mario clear of his mid-life crisis, for he realizes he won't...
For bona fide Mario games, a tie between Galaxy, Odyssey, and Origami King.
For related games, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, Wario Master of Disguise, and Donkey Kong Bananza.
They should let Fawful and Vivian in Mario Kart. For that to happen, however, my impression is that someone on the dev team (or related to them) needs to have some attachment to these characters before they even lend a ear to fan demand. (For example, per Eurogamer, Daisy was added in Mario...
I saw that Beware of Forest Mushrooms got an article on Mario Wiki. Realistically, if the article existed in 2008, the talk page would've been a heated 200,000-byte back-and-forth on whether to cover the Rawest Forest fan animation on it, with 4 failed proposals.
