Due to [?]'s looking very conspicuous on every page, and especially since "In-game name" is not considered a valid way to get rid of those [?]'s, I'm out. Tough luck. All this work I spent on Peach Showtime and WarioWare was all for nothing after all.

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 used 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.

Language handles

Flag of the Kingdom of Norway since July 13, 1821. For Norwegian release dates.
  • Norwegian at top level (Oslo Standard, with less than 20 words adapted from Trondheim Standard)
  • English at undergraduate level (British Isles English, with a heavy northern continental slant for placenames and product names, but I can write American English too for projects that need it, which very likely includes this wiki).
  • Swedish fluently (Stockholm Standard, with occasional terms from Oslo Business Swedish).
  • Nynorsk fluently (NRK Super Standard, not the lawyer or Noregs Mållag standards)

Minor notes that aren't needed in the top section

Activity-related

  • Trying to centre any of the 3D files at Models Resource with 3D file editors, is a 100% guaranteed method to cause severe psychosis and insanity. So don't even try to get any icons from them.
  • Apparently there's no e-Manuals for Switch games either.
  • There's always something really bafflingly godsdamn strange that happens on all previous wikis I've worked on (except Wikipedia and Wiktionary, of course). I can just really beg that it won't be the case on Super Mario Wiki as well. Particularly negative shoutouts:
    • PCGamingWiki had its moderators and at least one admin go from being normal people to textbook-example sexist weebs within the span of less than a week.
    • Dolphin Wiki had a fake admin who trolled everyone into thinking he had any authority to trashtalk me for made-up reasons.
  • Once I realised that the new "Notes" cells in "Names in other languages" did not count towards removing the "Articles with unsourced foreign names" category, the categorisation approach became so pointless that I've set up mariowiki.com##[href="/Category:Articles_with_unsourced_foreign_names"] with uBlock Origin on my user-end, so that I don't have to see that category listed on the bottom of pages. (The same entry would also work in AdGuard.)

Other

  • Miitopia 3DS will likely remain de facto online well into the 2030's, due to its QR Code system to add new Miis.
  • If anyone wonder "Man, what is it with that Dandelion Sprout guy and clocks?" Essentially I bought a TFA View Meteo as a bedroom alarm clock in the early spring of 2024, and discovered to my absolute astoundment that the product description blatantly lied about alarm functions. So I've had to come up with alternate alarm clock methods in the interrim time.
  • He/him, but not strict on it. If anyone wonder "What did that Dandelion Sprout guy use again?", it's a free pick with 0 consequences at all.
  • I am a proud supporter of the Flag of the Republic of China since 1928, used as the flag of Taiwan since 1949. For Taiwanese release dates. Republic of China in their battles for freedom against the PRC.

Worst levels/tracks in franchises

Mario Kart

  • 5) Electrodome in 8: It's just really boring to drive through. It's no more interesting than heading down a Danish motorway for 3 hours, except Electrodome doesn't have roadside diners to look forward to.
  • 4) Shy Guy Bazaar in 7: Strange use of market stands as obstacles, horrendous physics on (and rubbish lack of checkpointing for) the final glide.
  • 3) Cheep Cheep Lagoon in 7: While it likely served as a prologue in 7 on how to drive underwater, nowadays it's miserably boring to drive on.
  • 2) Vanilla Lake 1 on SNES: The ice blocks make it feel more like a bowling lane than a track, making it practically impossible to even reach the finish line, let alone get top 4.
  • Worst) Athens Dash in 8DX: Impossible to tell if you are supposed to turn left or right, non-existent straights to re-centre the views and geographic perceptions, sharp turns coming from out of nowhere. I have nightmares about this track at night.

WarioWare

  • 2) Stumblebot in Gold: The microgame's physics engine clearly didn't work at all. Among other major problems, instead of actually falling down to the ground she instead just vanishes.
  • Worst) Write On, Dude in Gold: None below, none beside. Abysmally bad text detection. It'd be easier to benchlift 175kg than to get the Index flower for it.

Super Mario Bros. 1

  • Worst) World 8-3 by far and beyond. I once did a run of the NES version without savestates in NSO, and managed to lose all 27 lives on this level.
