Mario Bros. as his second appearance
Wasn't Donkey Kong Jr. his second appearance and the game he appeared in before Mario Bros. The page mentions nothing about it and it just says "after Donkey Kong, Mario starred in "Mario Bros." 104.218.129.50 (talk) 19:19, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

I did not see the Mario Wonder powerups I think that should happen.

Mario (character)?
I think the article for Mario the character should be changed to Mario (character) and the overall franchise should be called just Mario, like most other video game character articles like Sonic and Crash Bandicoot. 2601:243:C901:4600:4006:2415:2EF7:D279 (talk) 01:52, 8 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Hey it just weird to see that Mario the character is just titled Mario while other titular video game mascots such as Donkey Kong and Pac-Man have character disambiguation however, you could see the previous discussion about it and it requested move so be happy.

 * Different articles have different disambiguation for different reasons. Keeping them all the same isn't a valid reason by itself. Sergecross73   msg me  12:22, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
 * I was thinking the same thing, but for a different reason. Nintendo didn't invent the name Mario after all, and it's kind of strange the page simply titled Mario isn't about the given name or a disambiguation page. I guess this is the same with Luigi too. If long term significance is the reason here, I don't really see it, as the Mario character has only been around for like 43 years, while the name is much older. I remember I requested the Minions (Despicable Me) page to be moved to Minions a long time ago and it didn't get approved due to it not be long term significant. What do you all think?

 * It generally comes down to a case by case basis - see WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for more info. Sergecross73   msg me  16:57, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

The pronunciations of Mario in the lead need stress symbols, i.e. ˈ (it’s different than a comma), at the start. 2001:BB6:B84C:CF00:3D6E:3EAD:A212:A54C (talk) 18:43, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
