Talk:Super Paper Mario

message: In the Reception section, the article states that there is no Dash button. A dashing feature actually can be unlocked, by completing the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials and receiving a Pixl named Dashell. (Note: This Pixl is optional and not necessary for any part of the game.) Dashell, when used, enables Mario to run at about twice his normal speed.

:It seems like that is something that reviewers were criticizing, whether the Pixl existed or not; perhaps they didn't play the game long enough to get Dashell.  --Brandon Dilbeck 23:02, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Since there was already a list of characters in SPM, I commented out the large block of character details as this is unnecessarily duplicating information.  I think some of those details can be worked into the List page which is why I didn't just delete the text. --Masem 20:22, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character list 

message: Frequent criticisms include [...] the very large amount of dialogue between characters, especially compared to any other platforming game.
It's an RPG, what would you expect... 194.120.158.162 23:10, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it's not an RPG. It's a platformer with SOME minor RPG elements (previous Paper Mario games were regular RPGs). TJ Spyke 23:24, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're splitting hairs. --Thaddius 15:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

text: I know this is old but I just got here, why shouldn't these criticisms be mentioned?  I mean, if it really is frequent and from renowned gaming critics, it should be mentioned.  You can even say "though large amounts of dialogue is common in RPGs" or whatever if it makes you feel better, but you can't deny the complaint was made.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Internet Mage (talk • contribs) 02:25, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Perhaps before restoring the section, sources should be found, and it should be rewritten?  Just a thought.  Geoff B 09:49, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, yeah, but if a source can't be found then does that meen that PAL Gamers should be left SOL? Concidering the game had a rather long translation period, it's rather silly to not mention it.Conan-san 17:11, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The section I removed said nothing about a replacement disc, which would be the most important part of the section for this article. All it contained was a description of the glitch and how to avoid it, which is not interesting at all for the non-gamer reader. Pagrashtak 15:25, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The things I could remove from say, the Heros page because they're not intresting at all to someone who doesn't watch Heros and yet would hide important infomation about Heros from those who want to know. I say to hell with common man. Conan-san 17:11, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That sentiment will not produce a very useful encyclopedia. If you wish to improve other articles by removing unencyclopedic material, please feel free. Pagrashtak 19:25, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So hiding facts, particulary ones that users of the article will concider useful = encyclopdic? Does hiding things that are of note "useful"? I'd rather a "Useless" encyclopida that told me things rather than a "useful" encyclopedia that short changed things. I'm sorry, I'm reversing the removal of the PAL Glitch section.Conan-san 09:02, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

text: It will only get removed again for the same reasons. Why not try and find a source? Geoff B 09:13, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was under the impresion it got removed even with a source Conan-san 09:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Nope, last time it was removed it was unsourced, and the edit summary stated so. Geoff B 09:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Infact, never mind the above comment. After reading the character list page, it ends up redirecting all the way back to this article anyway without having a character list... Quite a confusion. 81.108.161.111 (talk) 17:28, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Character List? 

message: I think something about Dimentio should be added to the Plot section, and maybe also something about Blumiere and Timpani as well, if someone could do that. Because the game's not quite like some of the other Mario games, and has what appears to be the main antagonist to actually be the good guy in the end...or something like that. 203.87.8.127 (talk) 02:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll try to rewrite the plot section to include those details but doesn't become long and excessive, like a previous attempt as this. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 03:03, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The review information was removed, I put it back. Just because there's no review summary from IGN or GameSpot doesn't mean other lesser sites can't be added (IMO).

replies: text: Probably not; there's nothing raised in those two sources about any real possibility of a movie being made. One is little more than "I would really like to do it" and the other, which doesn't even state anything about Paper Mario, pretty much denies such a thing. There's no real information we can divulge out of these two unrelated sources other than two people's desires for such a film to be made, which is quite trivial.

message: It's been a long time since I played the game, but I don't remember ever seeing anything about a forced marriage, as it says in the beginning of the Plot section, much less it being the cause of the void. I think we should confirm whether that's actually true, since it kind of sounds like a troll to me. I may be extremely wrong, however, and be embarrassed after making this statement, but I think we should verify it. Philmonte101 😊😄😞 (talk) 22:21, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

message: To find a citation for the Nintendo Power awards and nominations, I contacted a Wikipedian who owns the relevant issues. The next time you need something from a magazine, search for it in the Reference library. This library has a subpage for Nintendo Power. Unfortunately, the two people who own the relevant issues are no longer very active on Wikipedia. —Dexxor (talk) 14:05, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nintendo Power awards 

message: Hello!  made an edit to this article (which I reverted seeing their edit in absolute good faith mainly because I wanted to discuss it with them a little) change most (if not every) instance of "universe" to "multi-verse" because "the game is literally about travelling between universes and dimensions and saving them from destruction espacially when merlon in the beginning of the game said the void will destroy all dimensions, all worlds and all existence, the contextual defintion of universe means multiverse but there are people who aren't aware of that so the word multiverse is more fitting to avoid misleading people and so they don't think it's just a singular universe" (taken from their edit summary). Wikitionary's definition of universe (that best fits how it is used in the article) is "an imaginary collection of worlds" and (for reference) the definition of dimension "a universe or plane of existence". So since the game uses (from what I understand I haven't played the game myself) dimension (and possibly universe), I'm here to ask if referring to them with the word "universe" or "multi-verse" would be better. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 21:57, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: While I admit I'm stepping into WP:OR territory, the game makes it clear that there's only one "universe" in several instances. An item that is used to return to the game's hub world is accompanied with "With this, you will be able to return [...] from anywhere in the universe!" Given that it can be used in any of the game's worlds, we can assume it's all the same universe. Plus, the term "world" is often used in the context of games to denote a specific area or collection of levels, whether than something like a separate planet or something (like SMB3's worlds, for instance). It's much easier to say that the objective is to prevent the universe from being destroyed, not the multi-verse, rather than going deeper than that. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 22:33, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for clarifying that! Like I said I haven't played the game myself so I wouldn't know what the game says. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 22:45, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

replies: text:  Like I was warning about in my own explanation, this is falling into WP:OR and WP:SYNTHESIS territory. I brought up the concept of "worlds" to illustrate the general usage in video games, not to make my own analysis of the term. "Also did you ignore that fiction treat dimension as a universe?" What does it matter? You've already shown that one fiction's treatment of a term doesn't mean all others treat it the same way. In the end, the general reader doesn't care about semantics. The simplest answer is that Super Paper Mario states every clearly that it's "the universe" and thus we should treat it as such. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 19:50, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
