Editing Talk:Mario (universe)

== Marioverse?? ==

Is this really the term we've settled on? Isn't Mushroom Kingdom specific enough?

-- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 02:24, February 1, 2007 (GMT)

== Giant page rewrite: Model for other pages? ==

Okay, so I magically pulled this page out of a hat. I gave a historical Franchise Description section because, let's face it, part of the reason for the global success of the Smash bros. series is that it features game universes and characters already beloved by gamers, so I think SmashWiki's universe pages should have general descriptions that tell the Smash player/reader what kind of franchise source material they're playing with. The franchise description section I have here is a concise overview of everything Mario (I think), and it's much less expansive and bloated than what's on Wikipedia, so I think that's what readers of the Smashwiki would like to see. I also think that making all the universe pages like this would make each one a swell directory for all franchise-related content for that franchise. One question: Should Yoshi have his own sub-universe page like DK will? [[User:Erik the Appreciator|Erik the Appreciator]] 03:25, February 17, 2007 (GMT)

:Excellent edits, but this still should be called Mushroom Kingdom. -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 08:08, February 17, 2007 (GMT)

::Thanks. And well, it doesn't really matter to me what everyone else decides to call the page itself; I myself would have preferred Mario universe, since Mushroom Kingdom refers to the unlockable SSB stage. [[User:Erik the Appreciator|Erik the Appreciator]] 19:49, February 17, 2007 (GMT)

:::Easily solved with a little: "''This article refers to the [[SSB]] stage. For the Mario universe, please see [[Mushroom Kingdom (universe)]]." -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 20:55, February 17, 2007 (GMT)

:::In fact, screw it, I'm gonna do that now. -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 20:56, February 17, 2007 (GMT)

Okay, so I now created [[Donkey Kong (universe)]] and am planning to create similar pages for Yoshi and Wario. The question that's on my mind now: Should I go through this Marioverse page and remove all Yoshi and DK-related items from the various character and stage lists in this page? And have those sections provide links to the sub-universe pages? I think that would make the various universe pages more balanced, because right now this page is much longer than I think any other franchise universe page will get on this site. A Mario-centric universe page that covers strictly Mario-universe, with links to Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Wario sub-universe pages, I think is a good idea, but input is appreciated, of course. [[User:Erik the Appreciator|Erik the Appreciator]] 02:54, February 18, 2007 (GMT)

: I think it's worth mentioning that Yoshi and DK have played a role in the Mario franchise, but strictly speaking within the SSB-verse, Yoshi and DK are of their own worlds (at least if you go by their emblems, which is kind of what inspired "universes" in my mind).
: Really nice job on the rewrite BTW. I haven't read through it all yet, but it looks good. --[[User:Kirby King|<font color="red"><b><i>Kirby King</i></b></font>]] 04:09, February 18, 2007 (GMT)

:: Now I made [[Yoshi (universe)]]... I thought of something great to use as a picture at the top of these universe articles: cropped images of the universe symbols for the characters, so that the Super Mushroom symbol is shown at the top of this page, the Triforce symbol for the Zelda characters is shown at the top of the Zelda universe page, the Yoshi's Egg symbol at the top of the Yoshi universe page, etc. To mirror the approach of the Smash Bros. games at distinguishing characters by universe, we should put the symbols on these universe pages accordingly. Agree? [[User:Erik the Appreciator|Erik the Appreciator]] 00:25, February 19, 2007 (GMT)

::: That's a great idea! {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 00:45, February 19, 2007 (GMT)

::: Ooo...how about a little alteration to Template:character on top of that to have the little symbol displayed beside the link in the table as well, just as the flag does in [[Template:smasherbeta]]. -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 17:15, February 26, 2007 (GMT)

I could get a picture of the universes symbol like the Mushroom and Triforce. Once I get them then I will let you put them on the pages. [[User:The Magnum Master|The Magnum Master]] 21:25, March 24, 2007 (GMT)

:That sounds nice. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be all that hard to do, though, so if you get them and I'm not around, you might want to upload them yourself. [[User:Erik the Appreciator|Erik the Appreciator]] 21:39, March 24, 2007 (GMT)

I added the pic. You like? If so, then I could do it for the other universes. The only problem ones I will have are the Fire Emblem one, Yoshi, etc. since they don't appear on the Adventure Mode Screen. -- [[User:The Magnum Master|The Magnum Master]] 02:05, March 25, 2007 (GMT)

:It'd do as a temporary measure, though the background is a bit distracting; I envisioned images of the universe symbols on black backgrounds. I think I figured out how you can acquire a clear image of a symbol on a black background however: Set up a rigged 1-stock match between yourself and two opponents, one of them in the fourth player slot being the one whose universe symbol you want to shoot, and go to [[Past Stages: Kongo Jungle]], which has a totally black background on the bottom. Then KO the opponent in the fourth slot from the game so that the life meter disappears and only the universe symbol remains. While leaving the other opponent alone, position yourself so that the symbol overlaps with the black background to the lower right of the stage, take a shot of that, and you have what I think we need for a universe page. Pretty much all the symbols for the universes can be shot and uploaded this way, though not the Smash Bros. Universe symbol, in which case you'll have to try a single-player match taking place on either battlefield or Final Destination, and if you can alter it with Photoshop to make it look like the other images, that'd be great. [[User:Erik the Appreciator|Erik the Appreciator]] 17:08, March 25, 2007 (GMT)

Ah, I see now. I fixed it for you. Is that how you wanted it? If so then I have ones ready for the Zelda and Metroid universe. -- [[User:The Magnum Master|The Magnum Master]] 20:15, March 25, 2007 (GMT)

:Excellent! That could work for all the universe pages, though getting the images for the Kid Icarus and Metal Gear universes could be trickier. If you feel there's someway these symbol images can be made even better, such as increasing the brightness value of the images with Photoshop, feel free to try it on your own time. Or, what might be better, you might want to consider replacing the black background with a white one so that it blends with the page's background better and the symbol itself is emphasized at the top of each article. [[User:Erik the Appreciator|Erik the Appreciator]] 20:33, March 26, 2007 (GMT)

== Pictures ==

The pictures on the right (such as the ones next to "Mario" and "Luigi") are staggered on my browser; the picture for Luigi is pushed to the left and blocks some of the text.  I'm going to fiddle around with the pictures to see if I can fix it myself. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 17:00, February 25, 2007 (GMT)
:In my personal POV, those aren't the images we would even be having there in the ideal world. I put them there almost as placeholder images because I think for universe pages we should have smaller images in their place that focus more on each character's face and upper torso, and the bigger full-body pics should keep to the fighter pages. [[User:Erik the Appreciator|Erik the Appreciator]] 03:44, February 26, 2007 (GMT)

== Universe Clarification ==

I am going to give you the idea of what the universe is :

The little symbol behind the character's stock is to be the universe. DK is a universe not a sub-universe. For trophies the Universe must be decided by obvious or debate game universe.

:Hm, technically you're right about how we define universe on SmashWiki: a game franchise the Smash games gives a little symbol to. And probably, as far as Smash itself is concerned, the DK, Yoshi, and Wario universes are simply separate universes from the Mario one. It's just that in lots of other games, those four franchises are always appearing together, like in Mario Kart, Party, Sports, and RPG games, whereas you never see franchises like Zelda and Fire Emblem crossing over in between their own games. That's why we kinda consider DK, Yoshi, and Wario "sub-universes" of Mario ''in addition'' to being their own universes (we're not saying those three are ''not'' universes, remember). Fortunately it's not a grave issue. :) [[User:Erik the Appreciator|Erik, Lord of Universes]] 01:36, November 22, 2007 (EST)

== New Name? ==

Should 'Mario' really be kept as the name here?  Since Brawl refers to the series as 'Super Mario Bros.' maybe the franchise name should be changed to that?

-:That title belongs to the Pokémon series. When considering player count, we look at the universe in question, and ignore any sub-universes that fall under it. DK, Yoshi, and Wario's universes are sub-universes of the Mario franchise. <span style="font-family:Forte">[[User:Megatron1|<span style="color:maroon">Mega</span>]][[User talk:Megatron1|<span style="color:silver">Tron1</span>]][[User:Megatron1/Laughology|<span style="color:blue">XD</span>]]</span>[[File:Decepticon.png|19px]] 13:01, 26 August 2014 (EDT)

-== Regarding my reversion ==
-I actually could not fit the entire explanation into the summary. In addition to what I said, the summary was dishonest, as the IP apparently believes that Samus is male and that Zero Suit Samus is not a separate character (even though as of Smash 4 she is). Zelda and Sheik are also separate characters as of Smash 4, invalidating it further.

-:"Separate" and "alternate" are two different things. Regardless of whether or not they are individual characters that can be chosen, Sheik ''is'' a transformation of Zelda and Zero Suit Samus ''is'' Samus without the Power Suit. The IP also gave no indication that Samus was male. Daisy is ''not'' Peach, and is a separate character from her, as is Rosalina. Few universes have more than one female to begin with, and the Mario universe is the only one where the multiple female characters do not effectively make up one entity (disregarding the Fire Emblem series, as the females are alternate costumes).

-Here was my thought process: the trophies, spirits, and music pages all refer to it as the "Super Mario Bros." series. That was why I tagged this and the Sonic the Hedgehog universe pages. This one, I can definitely understand if there is some debate though, mainly due to Mario Kart being counted as a separate series music-wise. While I would like this page to be renamed to be consistent with the subpages, I understand if this is meant to be the general scope instead.

-:Actually, I pulled up both Smash 3DS and Ultimate (getting the other games up is more of a hassle), and across both I found "Mario" (Ultimate's sound test), "Super Mario" (the spirits), and "Super Mario Bros." (the trophies).

-==Trivia regarding missing Mario stages==
-Mushroomy Kingdom 1-2 is an alternate stage layout rather than a fully fledged missing stage, but I'd say that totally still counts as some kind of missing stage. It's a full on stage layout of its own kind that exists separate from 1-1 and isn't just an aesthetical thing missing in Ultimate like B&W GB Dream Land. It's even different a case from the slightly different layout version of Gaur Plain on 3DS or the differing stage hazards between the different versions of Smash 4. For all intents and purposes, it's its own stage that just so happens to be hidden behind an input select method (at least IDK if it was also random to appear instead of 1-1 or present as is somewhere in the single-player). <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:82.30.210.113|82.30.210.113]] ([[User talk:82.30.210.113|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/82.30.210.113|contribs]]) 11:48, January 29, 2021 (EST)</small>
-== Consider splitting the "Media with elements appearing in the Super Smash Bros. series" into its own article ==
-Going over the article's TOC, I'm astonished over how many subsections are presented in the "Media with elements appearing in the Super Smash Bros. series" section. I actually feel like this is too much to scroll through, that I think splitting the section into its own page would alleviate this issue. Normally this isn't the procedure for universe pages, but compared to the other universe pages, this one deserves to be its own article. -- [[User:PanchamBro|PanchamBro]] ([[User talk:PanchamBro|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/PanchamBro|contributions]]) 00:14, October 23, 2021 (EDT)
-: I have to agree on this one, since they tend to take 1/2 to 2/3 of an universe's page length. Maybe they should be put in a subpage. [[User:Prolyfic8|Prolyfic8]] ([[User talk:Prolyfic8|talk]]) 04:48, October 23, 2021 (EDT)
-: '''Support''' I agree. --[[User:Meester Tweester|Meester Tweester]] ([[User talk:Meester Tweester|talk]]) 21:10, October 23, 2021 (EDT)
-::Are "subpages" the ones where they act like folders? If so, then that may be best due to that category's length as it will just compress it unless one wishes to view it. [[User:Wolff|&#32;Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 21:40, October 23, 2021 (EDT)
-== Ordering Fighters By Character Selection Screen ==
-Should the fighters be organized by each game's character selection screen like with the stages? Here is how the Mario (universe) page would look with it:
