Collab: Articles for All of the Levels

That's what perplexes me. I mean, some levels of these levels are exactly the same, just with a slightly different star to grab (the Green Stars) while others, like the Purple Coins, can be pretty different
 
Why did I miss all these posts? My sister has got to stop browsing new posts under my name since I have no idea at a glance if there are new posts in this thread.

SMS world pages already have the Blue Coin locations (example (Sirena_Beach#Blue_Coin_Locations)), and those could be added to the applicable levels as well, I guess?

Blue Coins don't work the same way though; Blue Coins are an important collectible in Sunshine, but Blue Coins in Super Mario 64 are just 5 coins. You can also get Blue Coins from killing a few enemies like Piranha Plants and those book people, if I recall correctly. There are also Blue Coin switches which are just like blocks, but I don't know if that's a good idea to list specific locations for those if they aren't already in the locations article.

What do we do with other comet missions (Speed Run, Daredevil, Fast Foes, Cosmic Race, Purple Coins, Double Speed, Cosmic Clones)? Do we just include those in the regular level articles they're based on? What if there is no mission they're based on, or at least none that's very easy to easily decide: yes, this is what the mission is based on?

Comet missions should get their own subsection. Just list it was "blue comet mission" or something as a subsection.

Before I start going crazy on Good Egg Galaxy, should I write 'Mario or Luigi' or 'the player'?

On the topic of navtemplates, I feel like making {{SM64 Missions}} that lists all missions wouldn't be too bad (just look at Template:SM3DL Levels), and I'll get on creating that tomorrow.

I think "Mario" works better because the English language doesn't have a handy pronoun that everyone agrees on, but with "Mario or Luigi", you can use "he him his". But whatever floats your Jolly Roger boat. :fancy:
 
And what do we do with the secret stars that are obtained after deviating from the main path? For missions like Matter Splatter Mansion in Ghostly Galaxy, it makes no sense to include that in the A Very Spooky Sprint article since the deviation happens immediately on the starting planet, but for others, where the deviation is very slight, like the Green Star mission in Battlerock Galaxy and the secret star of Hightail Falls Galaxy, it makes no sense to split them into separate articles.

What do we do? We have to keep this consistent, otherwise navigating these articles is going to be ... pretty bad.
 
Doesn't really matter the extent of how they deviate. We can just create a separate article and focus on the deviation. I've done this for The Secret of Buoy Base earlier, which deviates... well, you have to find it first, but it's right on the starting planetoid, so at least that's a precedent to fall back on.

And actually, I take back that other stance on the comet mission. I recalled incorrectly that the missions don't have a unique name, but they actually do, so we should create articles on those, too.
 
Green Star missions don't have a unique name so there's that.

I've already separated Catch that Star Bunny solely because it has a unique name so *shrugs*
 
So in Super Mario Galaxy 2, we just have to create subsections in the main galaxy article, because you can't really fit them elsewhere. If the Green Star also happens to be exclusive to a mission, then we can list that in the mission article itself.

e.g. The Milky Way Galaxy has a Green Star, but it's found only in "The Amazing Milkshake!", then The Milky Way Galaxy and The Amazing Milkshake! would get a section on the Green Star. If you can find the Green Star in any mission, only The Milky Way Galaxy will get a section.

I don't think that's particularly fair: there are some comets that are just "this area but with one life" or "this whole mission but with fast enemies", sure, but there are also comets that are radically different than the other missions, to the point where you'd basically be covering separate levels in the same article. At the very least, a blanket policy isn't the right plan.
