The point is, everyone, that of all the possible descriptions for the Donkey Kong board, our current one is pretty poor. We could have something a lot better.
Not that I am a member of Userpedia, but the music description appears kind of offensive and in bad taste, as it is discriminatory towards Deaf people.
The whole description just sounds lame though. We should change it...perhaps even to "Without Donkey Kong, there wouldn't be Mario" or something like that.
Actually, that whole description should be scrapped (cause Mario and Donkey Kong were trying to kill each other in their first appearance) and replaced by something like "Mario's first nemesis, and the titular character of Mario's first video game" or something like that.
Although relatively small, I would have to say the Super Mario Wiki is doing pretty good for itself. Of the many gaming wikis out there, we are probably part of the top best.
Just about every? More like a few. We have had 51 featured articles, two of which have been unfeatured while seven are currently being deliberated. It's hardly "just about every."
And sometimes articles simply don't maintain the same level of quality, especially for subjects that appear in...
It's probably because we have a lot of four-year old users. :P
Well, that might be bit of an exaggeration, although I've been playing video games since I was about six...and my brother has been since he was about three.
We are not going to be merging short articles. What we are going to do is try to have all new articles reach a minimum standard, so we don't have hundreds of one or two sentence articles all over the wiki.
LOL. Yeah. Regardless, this means it could be the paintbrush, it could be the mask, or it could be something esle (that crazy Koopa black magic from SMB perhaps?).

Hello. I was wondering....what allowed Bowser Jr. to transform into his Shadow...
Steve says that ads generate enough money to keep this site going. I used to contribute a lot of money when things were desperate, but now ads cover everything.
Male seahorses fertilize the female's egg, but then the egg is transferred to the male. The male becomes "pregnant" and eventually gives "birth" to the babies.
Anyways, Peach really showed off her stupidity in Super Mario Sunshine. After Bowser Jr. said Peach was his mother, she got confused...
The bandana and the paintbursh are independent of each other. I believe the paintbursh allows Bowser Jr. to become Shadow Mario. Junior just has a thing for masks - they allow him to represent something greater than his childish self.
Bowser is the only member of the "Big Eight" not to "star" in his own game. Should the villain be given his own game, or should he remain in the role of a bad guy and occassional anti-hero? Also, if he does get a game, what type of game should it be, and what features would the game have?
Portals would just organize info, and perhaps have special projects. No featured articles. Something like this: http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:DKWiki_Portal
The game will probably trick us into thinking that a new villain is the main boss, but Bowser will turn out to be controlling things from behind the scenes, similar to Super Mario Sunshine.
Dry Bones, it's not that people don't want you to have a wiki. It is very hard to create a wiki especially when there are others that cover the exact same information, and then some. It's difficult to edit two wikis when the info is the same. People would rather edit one. I think Mario Wiki...
Remember, Princess Peach undid Bowser's dark curse, restoring the people to normal. ? Blocks are everyday objects in the Mushroom Kingdom, and since Bowser turned people into everyday objects, it only makes sense for some people to become ? Blocks. That means normal ? Blocks exist independently...
Seems kinda pointless to have the exact same info at two places. We at the Mario Wiki should definately create a Paper Mario Portal to organize all the info from the Paper Mario series (although it is well organized in templates and categories). We have a DK Portal already....
Sometimes wiki dies, sometimes they come back to life. It takes time. I was one of the very few editors here back in the day. But look at this place now.
The difference between the Rare Wiki and the DK Wiki is that we were officially affiliated with the DK Wiki. The Rare Wiki is a part of Wikia, and is out of our concern. If it fails - so be it. It's not the Mario Wiki's fault. Some Rare fans may come along someday and adopt the wiki, refreshing...
The only source that definitively seperates the two is the cartoon shows and the movie. There was the "Real World" and the "Mushroom Planet". In the former, characters used Warp Pipes to traverse the worlds, in the later, through a dimensional gateway. We use this as a basis for our articles for...
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is the first game chronologically in the Mario series. The game details the day the Mario Bros. were born to their first encounter with Bowser. Should Nintendo make a Mario game that chronologically occurs before SMW2: YI (i.e. before the Mario Bros. were...
