Paper Mario series[edit]
Paper Mario is a video game sub-series of the Mario franchise. The series combines elements from the role-playing and action-adventure genres with other puzzle game aspects. The games follow a paper cutout version of Mario, sometimes aided by other allies, on a quest to defeat the primary antagonist, Bowser as well as other antagonists.

I am nominating this topic as a good topic because it meets the criteria for good topic status per WP:GT?. Although I was not able to contribute as much to each article in this topic as I wanted to, it is suffice to say that @Panini!'s work on all these articles is extremely impressive and very good. --KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 03:32, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Did you ask Panini! about nominating this? It doesn't look like it... It's generally considered rude at best to nominate someone else's work for GT/FT, and since the capstone article is still at FAC it seem premature to assume they're done. --PresN 04:03, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- @PresN: No, but I should've. I will immediately withdraw this nomination. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 17:00, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Comment: Looks all good, except that this proposal is missing Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. It's another game in Category:Paper Mario, and it seems odd to leave it out here, though I get that it's a "crossover" spin-off and not exactly part of the series proper. It'd be an easy support with the last game included, but I'm not sure I can support without. -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 04:04, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- @Bryanrutherford0: Paper Jam, despite being a crossover, is more considered to be part of the Mario & Luigi series than Paper Mario, but I see where you are coming from. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 17:00, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose and withdraw AHHH! I WASN'T DONE YET! I wanted to freshen up the first two games before nominating. And to comment above, most instances where I've seen a video game good topic only include main articles in the series, not crossovers. And yes, as PresN mentioned above, and by you putting this nomination on your userpage, it does come off as you taking credit for other people's work. And in this case, it is; 0 edits to the first two games, two edits to Super Paper Mario, one of which was reverted, 0 edits in Sticker Star, Color Splash, The Origami King, and the series article.

- @Panini!: Sorry about that. I will withdraw this nomination immediately because of your statement. I was being too hasty. KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 17:00, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
