Featured guide cleanup
I put in most of my bulletpoints and one of Notmyhandle (talk · contribs)'s bulletpoints; after reviewing the blocks of text from the StrategyWiki:Featured guides entry. Let the collaboration discussion begin! --RAP (talk) 01:37, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

New features page
@Ceegers (talk · contribs): I just saw one of the bulletpoints you added: "Fix SNES (and maybe NES) info on Super Mario Advance/New features. I'm fairly certain it's incorrect in particularly the naming, but I need to check." – I have to point out that in making the page, all the comparison content is actually from the Super Mario Advance page (edit in action) with fact checking on the content from videos of longplays. I just transferred all the content into a new page, stripped out the fat to fit in a new table. I'm curious if there's any more differences that I missed that is not trivial for the guide. --RAP (talk) 09:56, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- Yeah I noticed while it was still on that page, I just hadn't mentioned anything until now. My official nintendo strategy guide disagrees with some things, but I wanted to thoroughly go through the game and such to catch anything else before changing it. -- Ceegers (talk) 02:53, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- Just FYI Ceegers (talk · contribs), from personal experience, multiple official Nintendo publications are inconsistent and disagree with one another. That often makes it tough to cite one official reference. Procyon 02:59, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
- These publications do not have to be correct. They just have to sell. They aren't history books or quotes from developers. Just gamers and editors with some inside info. Our guides are better :P --Notmyhandle (talk • contribs) 16:11, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Ok, so here's the way it looks... Subcon I do not see mentioned anywhere in-game (except to name the creature that comes out of the pipe at the end as subcon, but also one word). In both the NES and SNES instruction manuals, it is one word. Since there is then no change, I have deleted that line on the changes page. The enemy name changes I admit are in the game, however clawgrip and hoopster are labeled as such in the NES instruction manual, contrary to what the credits have. Ostro and Birdo I surprisingly can't really argue, as the NES manual has them flopped as well. The SNES manual doesn't even mention enemies (saving space I'm sure, since it needs to cover 4 games). And of course the strategy guide I mentioned has all those enemies listed the way they are in the GBA version (except Shyguy, that's still one word). I think that due to the disagreement between the included instruction manual and the game, we really don't have a good reason to say that the names changed... more like typos were corrected if anything. If you are going to be picky and mention it, you might want to mention that bob omb has no hyphen in the game (but, again, it does in the instruction manual). -- Ceegers (talk) 06:17, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
