It looks really bad when infoboxes are larger than articles, and this happens more than often in minigames pages, since the articles are rather small. What I say we do is relocate the {{{info}}} and {{{info1}}} parameters to the article itself, following the format I added to Awful Tower.

Here are some indications from Walkazo:
[quote author=Walkazo]
The header for such info could be called something like "In-game text" (nice and straightforward) with statements saying which each specific quote is:

==In-Game Text==
*'''Rules from ''Mario Party'':''' "''Blah blah blah.''"
*'''Advice from ''Mario Party'':''' "''Blah blah blah.''"
*'''Rules from ''Mario Party 2'':''' "''Blah blah blah.''"
*'''Advice from ''Mario Party 2'':''' "''Blah blah blah.''"

The best thing would be to start with the minigames in Mario Party, then Mario Party 2 and so on, so we don't miss any articles and make this collaboration easier. If we happen to miss any, we can trace them later by making a search for either "|info=" or "|info2=".
 
I'm working on the Mario Party 4 minigames.

Tucayo, on Awful Tower you put Game info from Mario Party 3. Shouldn't it be Rules from Mario Party 3?
 
I've browsed the category, and no one has done 8 yet. So go for it.

I'm not quite sure. The infobox had it labeled as "Game info". Let me look at the game.

EDIT: It's Game Rules.

I'll take MP3
 
Mario Party DS is very much notorious with this due to the double screen (and, in some cases which makes it worse, multiple variants of the game). Is there any way to line them up side by side if the latter case occurs? Because it doesn't look good to have two double screen DS pictures stacked on top of each other.

I'll probably do Mario Party 6 and 7 if I have the time.

I meant according to Walkazo's guideline. You've put "Game rules", but weren't we following this:

[quote author=Walkazo]
==In-Game Text==
*'''Rules from ''Mario Party'':''' "''Blah blah blah.''"
*'''Advice from ''Mario Party'':''' "''Blah blah blah.''"
*'''Rules from ''Mario Party 2'':''' "''Blah blah blah.''"
*'''Advice from ''Mario Party 2'':''' "''Blah blah blah.''"
