Revision as of 04:02, April 17, 2024

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.

Notes taken from feedback

To show I can receive and learn from feedback.

  • 0-9 must be spelt as words, e.g. "zero to nine". Double-check for things like in-level info additions.
  • Crops of OBS screenshots must be PNG too, as their source screenshots are.
    • But for animated no-sound images, "Animated WebP" seem far and beyond better than GIF.
  • Inter-locale comparisons are best suited for Trivia, presumably meaning that Trivia sections are allowed to be added to pages if none are already there.
  • Notes in parenthesis should generally speaking start with a small letter.
  • Turned out Volcano refered to one very specific volcano. Now I know.

In-game achievements I feel proud of

  • Mario Kart: Super Circuit:
    • Managed a spectacular Time Attack run at GBA Rainbow Road, and while it'd be tricky to export the replay, I'm certain it has to be close to whatever the WR is.
    • Came back from 40sec behind to win in a 5-lap VS Race on GBA Sky Garden in a self-imposed challenge.
  • Mario Kart DS: Set up a 32-race VS Race cup at 150cc with Hard CPU, and won all 32 races.
  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Completed the game with two characters as one player. The carry system helped, but I'm still very proud of doing so.
  • Super Mario Sluggers: Was allowed to enter the Bowser Jr. boss match with only some random Toads and Nokis I found on a beach, won the 3-innings match 34-0, then immediately went on to win against Bowser, beating the career mode in 70 minutes on my first playthrough.
  • WarioWare Gold: Got 67 in SplitScreen Mash.
  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe:
    • Got to 7,800 ranking points in online races, before the last two Expansion Pack cups were so bad that I abandoned the entire game (Athens Dash has to be the worst track in all of Mario Kart history).
    • Technically not my achievement, but rather Luigi's, as I managed to pull off a "Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing": I put him in VS Mode 50cc Easy CPU at N64 Royal Raceway, turned on Auto-Throttle and Auto-Steering for him, laid back in my couch like it was horseracing, and he somehow got 1st.
  • Princess Peach: Showtime!: 1-shot the boss fight of A Snow Flower on Ice.

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.
  • Ribboner
    • Works now (9 April 2024), it seems. Will certainly make level-page updates much easier.

Test 2

Although bopomofo seems to be effectively non-existent in Mario and Wario games, I can just as well test it for the fun of it. 🌞

John Maddenㄚㄝㄧㄛㄨ

(Close enough.)

Minor notes that aren't needed in the top section

  • Miitopia 3DS will likely remain de facto online well into the 2030's, due to its QR Code system to add new Miis.
  • XHTML's ruby support is complicated at best, I must admit: <ruby>Aeiou<rp><rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 67% !important">John Madden</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>

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 +-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.

7 April 2024

8 April 2024

  • 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.

9 April 2024

  • Sparkle Peach "Ran out of hearts" quotes: "No way.", "Oh no."
  • Get a screenshot of Peach's de facto blue dress during transformations.
  • Add pages: Sour Bunch Figure Skater (I still doubt that "Figure skater" could possibly be his official name, but sure), who of course happens to be moderately popular on Tumblr. One album photo exists of him, but I need pose screenshots from the second ice level as well.

10 April 2024

  • Add full (though only with non-existing rows) translation tables to relevant pages that don't already have full tables, because, sure, it can't hurt. The changelogs of User:Mariuigi Khed in particular inspired me to add this on my to-do list.

11 April 2024

13 April 2024

  • I know there's at least one in-play area where Peach can also slide down stairs. Maybe the second Swordfighter level? Perchance.

16 April 2024

  • Screenshot of Sparkle upwards attack, seemingly only possible in boss fights.
  • I remember JPN ruby top characters have been wished for in regards to Peach Showtime in particular, presumably (but not certain on) level names.
  • Music names for PPS levels seem desired, but I only personally want to add them if the stages only really have one song each.
  • Attempt to get an MP4 or WebM footage of Sparkle Peach dancing in levels. I'm not super-happy with GIF either nowadays.
