Talk:Super Mario Land

Please check/undo this revision

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Super_Mario_Land&oldid=369810227 Someone changed things like "The other characters such as Bowser and Peach do not make an appearance" to "Princess Peach makes an appearance". I don't know what's right but I can't find any references that say this is true. There are other edits in this revision that don't make sense too. 98.194.226.245 (talk) 04:44, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Previous version

The article says "Unlike all previous Mario games, Super Mario Land was not created by Shigeru Miyamoto" but i don't think the american version of super mario 2 on the NES was created by miyamoto. It was a remake of a completely different game... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.66.95.28 (talk) 21:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

port

is there a port of this game or is one planned? (preferably wiht color!--PopiethePopester 23:12, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

• There was a port planned for the Virtual Boy ;) --SeizureDog 07:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
• That was going to be more of a sequel, or maybe a spinoff or side game, like VB Wario Land.--DinnerSonic 05:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Regarding cleanup

I have tried to improve the flow of the article somewhat. I think it's pretty good myself; but I wasn't completely sure about myself in some areas, such as the gameplay and story sections. Could someone double-check my work, or whatever the eqilivant is one Wikipedia? --GUTTERTAHAH 22:34, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

A Few Revisions

I corrected the article's information about the Super Flower, and added italics to game names that were missing them. Also, I made note of the GameFAQs link leading to four guides, not just one.

It seems to me that this article does not require cleanup any longer. Who gives the OK to remove the cleanup tag? --69.64.3.12 16:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)Derek

I agree, I'll remove it now. --GUTTERTAHAH 03:49, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Super Mario Bros. theme?

(Of note is the fact that the Super Mario Bros. theme is heard in the levels where Mario rides the Marine and Sky Pop, with an increased tempo and some notes changed slightly.)

I don't think so. I do see a kind of resemblance, but it's a stretch to say it's the same theme at all. - furrykef (Talk at me) 22:28, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

I think it sounds like a remix...

GA on Hold

OK, first off, citations need to be properly formatted, some aren't. making it the third highest selling game of the Mario Series [2] - try and make sure the citations are by what is being cited-- remove spaces, et al. That's all I see for now, fix them and we should be good to go. David Fuchs (talk • contribs) 23:00, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, some more nitpicky things: there are a couple of double spaces between headings; and fair use rationale for all images. See the images at Halo 2 for examples. In addition, the lead is a bit short, whether or not there is any more relevant info is up to you. David Fuchs (talk • contribs) 23:06, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. I fixed the citations, as well as the double spaces between headings. Also, I provided every picture with a fair use rationale. For the lead section, I added Gunpei Yokoi as creator. --Accered 12:30, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

The YouTube link should be removed per Wikipedia's guidelines on YouTube videos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:External_links/YouTube). I'm not sure if this video is fair use. Mouse Nightshirt 13:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. --Accered 13:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Right, well I'm happy enough, but since I'm not the reviewing editor, I can't touch. However, as part of WikiProject CVG, I'm happy to rate it as a GA for WPCVG. Mouse Nightshirt 18:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Well it looks good to me. Using the powers invested in me by the GA template, Super Mario Land is now a good article. Shazam! Dåvid ƒuchs (talk • contribs) 22:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Super Mario Land box art.jpg

Image:Super Mario Land box art.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

GA reassessment

I believe this article is not even close to GA quality.

1. No sources for Gameplay at all.
2. I just removed several pieces of guide content, and there's even more content that really, really needs removal.
3. The development is entirely OR and unsourced.
4. The only well-sourced section is Reception. This is definitely not a GA article - the Mario Bros. article is in better shape. This article is a Start-class article at best. If there's no objection, I'll be removing the rating after two or three days. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:06, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Well since he forgot and I didn't, delisting.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 02:36, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

I didn't forget, I was just too lazy to do it. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 08:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Japanese and North American release dates

I noticed that the JP and NA release dates in the sidebar don't agree with the ones at the beginning at the article. I'd suggest someone re-checks the sources and figures out the truth here. I'm inclined to believe the JP release date in the sidebar since it comes from Nintendo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.70.199.198 (talk) 23:02, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Redundancy

"Super Mario Land marked Mario's first appearance on the Game Boy and is the first Mario game for the system."

Doesn't anyone else find this redundant? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.31.157.10 (talk) 20:36, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
