Luigi's Mansion[edit]
Have you seen Good Night Screen in Luigi's Mansion? See this mariowiki.com/Game_Over#Gallery and find 2000-2009. Apollo C. Quiboloy fans (talk) 06:25, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
What is the animation and voiceclip in Super Mario 3D World[edit]
According to ProfasiaGaming on youtube.com, he say that the game over animation (On a red background, the character fell down and Game Over fall in the position, and zoom out and doing a posing, after that Continue/Quit button combo appears after the music finish).
Example: Mario: Mama mia!
Luigi: No! NOO! Owwww!
Peach: Huh! What! What! What!
Toad: (crying like a baby and lie down)
Rosalina: Oh no!
It is accurate right? Apollo C. Quiboloy fans (talk) 06:30, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
Is which type of United States coin was traditionally inserted into an arcade machine to continue playing relevant?[edit]
I have added a "relevant?" tag to this article, after a statement which mentions what type of United States coin was traditionally inserted into an arcade machine to continue playing. I'm not personally of the opinion that this is any more relevant than adding which type of coin another country's arcade machines would generally accept. Should it be removed or not?

- It's...true, quarters are typically what's used, but I see your concern that it's not particularly necessary to know to explain the concept of a Game Over. I think it's just a good example of how some editors always feel obligated to provide explanation or examples to concepts that don't particularly require it.

- User:Sergecross73: Typically used in the United States; but obviously not in other countries. I just think it's strange for the article to be singling out one country's monetary system over all others. Is there a suitable article on arcade machines where, possibly in a note, a list of commonly-used coin denominations for arcade machines could be placed? Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 04:24, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- I think it's just trivia that can be trimmed out. Sorry, I might of worded that wrong. It's a good example...of how people write bad prose on Wikipedia. That's just how some editors are sometimes. You take a sentence like "Refrigerators can be used to store food." Then someone adds "Refrigerators can be used to store food, like chicken." And then you check back in a few months and see that it's swollen out to "Refrigerators can be used store good, like chicken, beef, meatloaf, blueberries (though it's not required for fruits), and various drinks (like beer and soda)." It's not wrong, just completely unnecessary to give examples for such a simple concept. I imagine the same thing happened here - some person probably erroneously thought it was necessary to give an example of money, as if the concept was abstract or something.

- User:Sergecross73: Okay. But is information about coin denominations commonly accepted by arcade machines in different countries something that we might want to move to another article? Or is it the type of trivia that would be more suited to some other site, like a wiki devoted to arcade machines? DesertPipeline (talk) 13:41, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- I don't think it's really that important. I think it would be pretty widely known in the United States. Sergecross73 msg me 15:53, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- User:Sergecross73: Thank you for your input. I'll remove the text from the article now, and link this talk page section in the edit summary so that if anyone objects they can participate in the discussion here. Regards, DesertPipeline (talk) 11:57, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
