Have played through:

I'm not a userbox kind of fellow, even less so outside of Wikimedia projects (The latter of which they'd make sense on to list language skills).

For screenshots, I use Elgato HD60 Pro, and OBS Studio with a hotkey attached to screenshotting.

Connecting the Elgato HDMI cable either directly into the Switch, or into "HDMI 2" of a Yamaha RX-V685, seems to make no differences at all, not even in regards to a docked Switch's output resolutions.

My default English writing is British Isles English with a heavy northern continental slant, but I can write American English too for projects that need it, which very likely includes this wiki.

Test

  • The backend of Super Mario Wiki seems to be unable to handle three-= category headers at all, which leads to "Error code: Plessie".
    • The backend doesn't seem to like turning headers into pagelinks either.
  • Ribbonеr
    • How in the name of goodness did the backend's wordfilter mess up so much that I had to use a Cyrillic Е to avoid getting Error Code Plessie?
  • Ribboner
  • Ribboner
  • Ribbone
    • Turns out that the wordfilter objects to "b*ner", but it only objects to me and no one else…???
  • Zero-width spaces, zero-width joiners, and left-to-right markers aren't helping. I think the backend hates me and specifically me.
  • Ribbo\ner
  • Link autofilling doesn't fix it either. How.
  • I can only presume the site doesn't consider me truly autoconfirmed. Or something. Goodness knows. If it hasn't got better by Sunday noon CEST, I need to contact at least 1 beaurucrat.
  • Ribbo''''ner
    • Why.
  • Ribboner
    • This can't possibly be the intended method either.
  • Ribboner
    • …Close enough. Or not. But still.

To-do

6 April 2024

  • Make GoödFeël a redirect to Good-Feel if no one objects to it.
  • Upload and add a track layout comparison image for Wario Stadium (MKDS), though it'd have to be placed in a part of the page where it wouldn't stick out too much.
  • I'd say there's a fair few features in the demo that would warrant a subsection in Princess Peach: Showtime!#Development :
    • Demo save data are not carried over to the full version. I know quite a lot of non-wiki players, me included at the time, wondered about it.
    • Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids and Cowgirl in the Wilderness has their doors fenced off with tied ropes. No such ropes are used at any point in the full game.
    • The demo's intro menu has "Start" and "Nintendo eShop" options, while the full game only has "Press A Button".
    • The Lobby Shop never opens, whereas in the full game, the shop opens after The Castle of Thorns.
    • The 3 leftmost Plus Button-menu options cannot be selected.
    • Basement cannot be entered in the demo. In the full game, it can be entered after The Castle of Thorns.
    • X Button is used in the demo.
  • Add a "Controls" section to Princess Peach: Showtime!. Make mention of how only 4 buttons are ever used in the entire game, and that X Button and Y Button are never used at any point. Control instructions reflect the A Button/B Button setting.
  • Take a screenshot for sideways Sparkle. If there's one chance I've got to make myself "in" on the wiki, this is a good chance.
    • Sparkle quotes: "Fantastic.", "Lovely."
  • Game runs 720p, both docked and handheld. Framerate approximately 30fps.
  • The Castle of Thorns cannot be left during the first time the play is performed. Closing the game mid-level, will make the game resume from the Toad "I've got the tickets" moment.
  • Heart Charm increases HP from 5→8 with no negative effects, but the extra hearts are shown in green.

  • Add descriptions of the shapes of Figure Skater Peach, for the benefit of colourblind players.
  • Take Elgato screenshots for: Lobby Shop
  • Attempt a futile layout comparison for GBA Sky Garden, whose MK8DX layout is so different as to be all but unrecognisable.
