No, I mean the current pages being served as disambiguation pages. I'm talking about one article that serves both games.

oooo the manual for mario maker is accessible here, and it's got some good artwork of characters like undodog, coursebot, mashiko, etc.

also its got an image of costume mario which could go in the infobox on the article instead of the mario costume its currently using

Spoiler

edit: also would we consider creating an article for that pigeon character as unless i'm mistaken, this image's url likely has his name in it

Is it worth mentioning that in Super Mario 64's Dire, Dire Docks, the game inexplicably lags when Bowser's Sub is loaded? Or, should this information be relegated to the article about the sub itself?

Inexplicably lags? It doesn't look like an inexplicable lag when it loads an object that's only there in the first level; if it lags only if Bower's Sub is loaded, it's probably because Bowser's Sub is the thing causing the lag.

There's also this thing (.pdf) to consider, as RandomYoshi noted earlier; I had to dig that one up.

Yes but we don't know why Bowser's Sub lags the game, hence why I said it "inexplicably lags the game".

 

[Xiahou Dun]

It probably lags because it has to load an extra object in the scene. Probably optimization issues otherwise.

afaik we don't want to upload the entire artbook because reasons but the only useful thing to come from it is the name of the Weird Mushroom and Weird Mario, there's really not much else to consider as the rest of it is just nice artwork

i mean unless someone wants to create an article listing the codes and descriptions for each example level in the book then go ahead

small official images for characters in the game taken from the manual should be fine rite, so i think the image for costume mario should be swapped

Plus, uploading the entire artbook (or manual) would be too extensive - same reason we don't upload whole manuals and whatnot: we sample and report, not replicate.

But yeah, taking specific images (from both sources) would be fine, and using the ?-mark Costume Mario for the infobox would be a good idea.

Yeah, seems most likely. Dunno if we really talk about that sorta thing; I mean, there's chunks of SMW that lag due to too many enemies, etc. - it's just something that happens.

I think it'd be a good idea, for consistency with SSB and internal navigation (as you said), as well as both internal and external searches (since only having disambig pages makes people less likely to want to click us, and potentially factors into why we're further down the list of links Google spits out for "mario & sonic at the olympic games").

List of cartoon voice actors

I'm surprised this article exists. We don't have a list of game voice actors, do we?

The article seems to mostly exist as a compromise between giving articles to all of the actors and not covering them at all, in a manner akin to Banjo and Conker. To that end, I don't think it's worth it; some of the people here could reasonably benefit from full articles, but when all that you have is "this guy voiced that guy on this show" for a dozen sections, it really doesn't look good.

I asked if related information is better off in the credits section in the respective articles. But in the end, I really don't like that article.

Yeah, it should be scrapped: ideally we want pages for everyone, even if they're small, not just one sucky list page.
