Holy Grails

(Duly plagiarised from the Transformers wiki : P)

Some articles on the wiki are barren, not because of a lack of interest, but simply because the subject is very rare, obscure or impenetrable to the western fandom. If you own or have any information about the following items, please let us know.

• Footage of Mario Takes America, which was apparently shown at the New York CDi3 Conference.
• Media and information about the Satellaview games BS Super Mario Collection, BS Super Mario USA, Mario Paint: Yuu Shou Naizou Ban the Wario's Woods rereleases and Dr. Mario port, Excitebike: Bun Bun Mario Battle Stadium.
• Media and information about Super Mario Fushigi no Janjan Land, Mario Party Fushigi no Korokoro Catcher, Super Mario Fushigi no Korokoro Party 2 and Mario Party Whirling Carnival (which doesn't even have a page).
• The English versions of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! live-action segments Treasure of the Sierra Brooklyn and The Magic Love, which were not included in any home video releases of the show and have yet to be uploaded online. The Swedish dub of The Magic Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xzrHL67tCYhas been recently uploaded. The German audio of Treasure of the Siera Brooklyn is avalable, but the english audio is still missing.
• Paper Mario: Sticker Star full gameplay footage from e3 2010

Add the Super Mario-Kun to the list

That lost footage of Mario Takes America sounds interesting. I did some research (didn't really expect to get very far), and apparently no content has been released to the public. But it must exist: at least one person had to have taken a picture or filmed the event. It's just a matter of tracking it down. You know, it may be worth a shot e-mailing Nintendo America directly and querying them about it. I've had some luck in the past when I requested official Virtual Boy Wario Land enemy names, and when Edofenrir did the same for Wario Land II back in 2009.

Nintendo had nothing to do with Mario Takes America beside licensing Mario to Philips, though. If this is to be believed, the game was overseen by Philips and developed by three guys whose company went bankrupt after their funding were cut off, one of which is dead.

What about the other Super Mario-Kun (Super Mario-Kun (Pikkapika Comics))? Because all we know about it is... well, it exists...

Ooooh, I love obscure stuff because nobody else bothers about them. Anyway, there are some extra BS Mario games you haven't mentioned yet, including BS Mario Paint: Yuu Shou Naizou Ban and Dr. Mario BS Version, which don't even have a page yet.

• Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally, the first game where Luigi takes on his skinnier look.
• We also have I Am a Teacher: Super Mario Sweater. Yeah, of course you don't know about that one.
• Mario no Photopi. I don't know how the game even works. All I know that it's just some photography-related game.

Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally

I just uploaded some course maps, logo artwork and a better quality box image for this game, but I didn't manage to find any info to add.

Do you know what should be a Holy Grail for the wiki? Never mind, the stuff about BS Super Mario USA was already mentioned here.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Should a notice of this be on the main page, just like tfwiki?

It's on the sitenotice.

Super Mario World (arcade) should be added. If anyone has played it, it would be very helpful, as we know nearly nothing about it.
