'Shroom Spotlight

Hi there, I noticed on the bottom of the 'Shroom Spotlight page that it said we could make suggestions here? Just a small one, but feel free to ignore it if you like, but perhaps one of the coloured Yoshi's pages? A while back I gave them all properly formatted list of game appearances tables, and I noticed that the articles themselves were pretty bad. I can't really do it because I haven't played most of the games, but many sections are single short sentences. Perhaps an idea for future editions? But feel free to ignore it if it is useless or in the wrong place. :yoshi:
 
Thanks for the great suggestion! We'll definitely consider this for a future edition.
 
  • I've rewritten parts of Twilight Town, but I think the summary actually serves this article well. We don't really need a plot synopsis for this place, other articles handle it very well already.
  • For File:Ninji SMR.png, does a higher quality version of this even exist? It's pretty much on par with other characters like Boom Boom, Stretch, and Bull's Eye Bill. I think it's a bit unfair to designate that image with a quality template but not the others.

I can't really help with the rest.

I discussed it with Y876, and you're right. This artwork doesn't seem to be available elsewhere other than in-game (I just roughly combed the press and official game pages).

I think the image can still be improved. The ideal width of a Super Mario Run screenshot seems to be 640px (when taken on an iPhone 4 or 5). Any larger sized iProduct screen causes blurry full-sized screenshots. So ideally, the artwork could be recaptured to get it's best possible quality.
 
What's up with Go! Go! Morphing! having a more images tag? There are several other SMA2 levels that are of comparable length but only have one image and don't have the improvement tag (one (Watch Out For Lakitu), two (The Cave Of Harry Hedgehog), three (Jammin' Through The Trees), four (Nep-Enut's Domain), five (Jungle Rhythm...), six (Welcome To Monkey World!), seven (Fight Toadies w/ Toadies), eight (Exercise in the Skies), nine (BLIZZARD!!!), and ten (Ride The Ski Lifts), to list a few). Are the other pages in the wrong for not having the tag?

By the way, what happened to the roundup posts from before, where you'd list the articles on the spotlight? I feel weird asking questions before that's been posted, like I'm doing it too early or something.

Shokora chose that one, so I can't vouch for him, but looking at it, while it's certainly fine, I think because of all the transformations in it, the article could have a little gallery at the bottom showcasing them all.

Last month wasn't posted mainly because of my busy schedule around then, and when it resolved it felt a bit late, but I can certainly put on in now.


Monopoly Gamer - Wanted Article
Large Coin - Stub
Twilight Town - Rewrite
Yellow Yoshi - Rewrite-expand
File:Ninji SMR.png - Quality
Go! Go! Morphing! - More images.
 
I think level articles in general all benefit from a gallery of images like how we do that for the race tracks in the Mario Kart series.

Android exists too.

I just took a screenshot of Ninji's picture on Android and it seems to be of higher quality.

I've uploaded it over the existing one.

Not too familiar with Android. But your version look great!
