Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: The original Mario Party wasn't released on the Wii's Virtual Console, but the second one was. Five bucks says it's due to the issues with the control stick-rotating mini-games. (Of course, it's not impossible that Nintendo could release it on the 3DS, considering how easy it is to rapidly rotate its circle pad using only the thumb compared to the Nintendo 64's control stick, but it's still rather odd to skip to the second installment for a rerelease.)

    To clarify on this issue, the mini-games that required players to spin the control stick quickly usually had to be done against AI players that can spin the stick a lot faster than a normal person could. People would try to spin the stick with the palms of their hands, which would cause painful blisters if done too much over a period of time. Not only Nintendo scrapped the rotating stick games for future Mario Party titles, but they also will most likely not release the first Mario Party on the Virtual Console unless they change the coding of the game to play those specific mini-games in a different way, which will probably not happen.
    • On a side note, Mario Party 3 was never released on the Virtual Console for unknown reasons.
