Super Mario

This is not to be confused as "Super Mario nation"; the article says it's short for "super marionette animation". Weird coincidence, though, as marionettes are puppets, and Mario is controlled in video games... --Geopgeop 08:16, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The {{for}} template wasn't really appropriate for the distinction we needed to make here, so I've replaced it with {{confuse}}. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 00:35, 22 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The "confuse" template is not needed at all. "Supermarionation" is one word, while "Super Mario Land" is three. Nothing redirects here that makes the disambiguation necessary either. And I don't see how anyone could come to this article expecting to see information about the Game Boy game. --Jtalledo (talk) 23:55, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ironically, the Guardian puzzle number 25,848 of Jan 18 2013 features a Supermarionation theme, cluing the word in two separate answers - Super Mario and Nation.

1960s date needs to be pushed back?

I've found this page which includes evidence that the Supermarionation technique was used in broadcast media since at least 1957 - this page includes a video of the pilot. I'm not sure if this is verifiable (at least to Wikipedia's standards) so I'm not going to add this information to the page yet. Perhaps the WikiProject associated with this page could provide some insight? Thanks Chris (talk) 16:03, 3 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
