    Best April Fools' proposal, 2024 edition

    Here's the last revision of the proposals page before the jokes got wrapped up.

    Change "The Marioverse" to "Mario Discussion" and "General Discussion" to "Community Discussion"

    (The poll is just for fun and should not be taken into account. This is a small matter raised for the consideration of the moderators and the webmaster.) I noticed new users tend to misuse the General Discussion forum by posting things in it that are better suited for the Marioverse forum. I...

    Which real life cities from Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe have you visited?

    And, more to the point of the Marioverse forum, how do you feel about their in-game representation from any particular standpoint (topographically, musically etc.)? I've been to Amsterdam, Athens (though I wasn't even in primary school when I went there, so I barely remember anything), Berlin...

    Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)

    Yes, folks, this is true. The last announcement of the September 2023 Nintendo Direct is that TTYD is being remade for the Switch. The original gameplay is there, along with the beloved characters and expressive enemy designs, in squeaky-clean graphical fidelity! Paper Mario is back!

    How do you check whether an image has colour correction metadata?

    And the award for the most tech illiterate question goes to... No, but seriously, it's not at all clear to me. When I use a metadata extractor, I don't know which variable corresponds to that. According to the wiki, Bowser's NSMBWii artwork has colour correction metadata, a trait that should...

    Help make the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournament list more complete

    List of official Mario Kart 8 Deluxe tournaments I added as much information about those tournaments as I could glean from promotional material and gameplay footage, but there are still some missing particulars, such as rulesets and in-game names, that I couldn't find on the Internet. The game...

    DKC: Return to Crocodile Isle

    I would have put this is in the fan art thread, but I think the scale of the project demands focus befitting a king. From the same people who made the music video for that Pirate Scorn cover by Alestorm. The production quality is truly out of the ordinary for a fan project...

    What determines the notability of a game/film/etc. staff member?

    Is there some sort of hard line regarding which staff members behind a game or other piece of media, credited or not, can be given articles on the wiki? Are, say, the animators of Donkey Kong Jet Race eligible for articles? Or any of the concept artists behind the Mario + Rabbids games? I'm...

    Times the Mario Wiki did irrepairable damage to our society

    Post any instance you can think of when false/inaccurate information from the Mario Wiki propagated so deeply in the Mario fanbase that it ended up being what people generally accept as true to this day. What I can think of: 1. (Kinda) the whole English Mario Encyclopedia thing, with fan-made...

    In your opinion, which track from the Wario franchise works best as Wario's theme?

    Most Wario games have had music themes that served as a leitmotif within their game of origin, but none have ever exactly been promoted to being the signature franchise theme--at least, not to the degree of Mario's SMB overworld or Donkey Kong's Island Swing. Some of these themes have, however...

    What's a popular media-related fan theory you like?

    Paratroopa and Buzzy Beetle in a 3D Mario platformer

    As of 17th of May 2022, 16:44 ET, these two fellas are the only OG Super Mario Bros. enemies that have yet to appear in any way, shape, or form in a 3D Mario title. In this thread we speculate on the reasons they were omitted for so long and, chiefly, we spitball ideas for roles these two...

    As you may already know, the Dr. Mario World mobile game is set to end its services 1 November 2021, less than a week from this thread’s conception. In anticipation of this event, the game’s official social media accounts—namely, those on Facebook and Twitter—have ceased making any more...

    Names in other languages from cartoon dubs - okay to stay?

    A few months ago, there was a proposal to allow coverage of name spellings from authorised closed captions of Mario cartoons. The proposal failed, two reasonings cited against it being that names aren’t made official just by proxy with Nintendo and that the captions themselves are too...

    Courage the Cowardly Dog

    I’ve revisited a couple of episodes recently. As a former lifelong fanatic of this show who acknowledges it still has a strong cult following, I’ve got to say my return left a disappointing taste.

    "Implied" cameos

    One of the items you find in "Hey! Pikmin" is a 3D rendered replica of a Donkey Kong Land cartridge, complete with the artwork plastered on the actual ROM cartridge. Naturally, this would imply that Hard Hat, Hogwash, Krusha and everyone else seen on that cartridge make a cameo in said game...

    So, some poor no-good winds up in hell after dying, and you're tasked with giving them a punishment that will last for eternity.

    Is there a way to share a link to a YouTube story (so I can use it as a reference on the wiki)?

    The Scottish band Alestorm, famous for their rummages in the "pirate metal" genre, have released a new album called Curse of the Crystal Coconut.

    Pages for cartoon voice actors in other languages

    I was thinking about this the other day, and seems like a harmless idea. What if we make lists of voice actors for various ''Mario''-related media in other languages? That would mostly include the cartoons, but WarioWare Gold would also also covered. We could also specify the characters each...

    Would you like Odyssey to be referenced more?

    I think it should. The myth of Odysseus must remain alive in our collective spirit for as long as humans will tread the earth. Ok, sorry. I obviously mean Super Mario Odyssey. It seems that the spin-offs that came after that game were less bothered to keep it relevant. Compare this to other...
