Dana MC here!
Thanks for adding my Game Play Tips for Lady Bug! I thought I did add them to the main Game Play page, but I guess I didn't. I copied and paste them to that section and is now an official part of the WalkThrough section under the Topics list. So I guess it can be taken off the Talk section. I've been playing this game for years now and I still do on the old-school ,multi-game system ULTRACADE. My highest score is around 350,000 points (Level 24), so I consider myself a bit of an EXPERT on this game. This game is nearly 30 years old and a perceived Pac-Man clone, but let me tell you, it is still a damn good game to play and I recommend it to all you new-schoolers out there. Hey, I like the new stuff too at 40 years old, but nothing beats a good re-education with games I grew up on. Lady Bug is a highly recommended good start. Thanks a bunch. Any more tips I have will certainly be added.

Super Secret World in Super Mario Bros 3 HELP!
"To get a super secret world, glitch your game in World 9[Warp Zone] then move on the water around until you see a black glitch screen. Go to the World 5 number, not the pipe, to access a glitched world called World 0. It has two level 6's, fast moving grass, tress, lots of bridges, and a brief song."

Hi there! From your instructions that I quoted above, how do we actually glitch World 9? We don't understand how to move on the water or where we are looking for a black glitch screen. We also have all 3 warp whistles, and are now awaiting your advice.

Thanks,

Hi,

I need to batch download and upload images from this wiki. All proper attribution will be done (a link to the home page to the image).

Doing this will help me not to download images myself and that will take hours to do.

Thanks, — Sheriff James B. McDonald bad guys  23:04, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * You get access to writeapi after becoming autoconfirmed, and it's not too much to ask that you've been here for a couple days as a registered user before you get it. We have the autoconfirmed user group to protect us from spam and vandalism, so I don't see why the ability to automate that unwanted behavior should be given earlier. Aren't you autoconfirmed by now anyway? — najzere T 02:07, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Administrators
I need help becoming an administrator. How do I become one?
 * This is what Procyon was trying to tell you. If you keep trying to become an administrator like this, you will be banned. Asking to become an administrator, or anything similar, will usually result in you never becoming one. And stop linking to Special:BlockList. It's a list of banned users, and is where your name will end up, if you keep doing this. 16:07, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

"Mario and Luigi" vs "Mario & Luigi"
Currently, the three Mario & Luigi games are on StrategyWiki as: Notice the inconsistency regarding "Mario and Luigi" vs "Mario & Luigi". Looking at the box art, I think all three should start "Mario & Luigi". What do other people think? --Pelago 20:22, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
 * Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time
 * Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
 * Never noticed that. I think renaming them would be the right thing to do. -- E-123Wario54 The Temple of TalkFFI black mage (8-bit).gif 20:29, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
 * According to the Nintendo website and esrb.org, the names are exactly the opposite of the way we have them:
 * Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
 * Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
 * Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

 * There's a link to the Official Webpage on the side which uses '&'. The boxart also uses & in all three, so we should probably rename them all to use '&'. -- Prod (Talk) 01:06, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
