should there be a link to the spread of this? 75.171.110.135 ( talk) 05:53, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
I never thought I'd see the day, but I have to wonder if the article is over-cited. Specifically, I'm not entirely sure that all of the quotes are entirely necessary (in particular, citing Morshu's "lamp oil, rope, bombs" line to support there being a shop strikes me as extraneous). Certainly, they make it a real nightmare to copyedit the page - the plot summary in particular.
If there are no immediate objections, I'm going to take a look at this page and see if I can make it a little more manageable. Gimubrc ( talk) 17:23, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
I have this page watchlisted, and I've noticed a slow-motion edit war going on over the voice credits section - who is credited as voicing whom.
I don't know where the information is coming from - which, in and of itself, is a problem. I've done a quick Google search and found the results surprisingly inconsistent - IMDb is the most detailed, and it has a lot of holes. As such, I ask that someone with access to a copy of the game post the actual, confirmed voice credits and include a citation.
Alternatively, we could simply cut the entire section wholesale and be done with it. Gimubrc ( talk) 16:04, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
I believe Morshu should get an article of his own. Yes I am aware that in his game of origin, he was very minor and only had two lines of dialogue. However, this is one of the very rare examples of a fictional character is popular because of how he is portrayed in memes as opposed to his game of origin. For around 10-15 years when it came to characters you would associate with memes, Morshu has always been there then and he is here today just as well known if not more than how he was on the early days of the internet. I think we should leave the article alone because he is in a way a very well known figure in meme culture and while many memes die off, he has always been here. I believe we should treat the article with the same respect and give this internet favorite the article that he deserves.
Am I able to quote the lines of dialogue that has in the game? Vinnylospo ( talk) 14:28, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
In the Development section of this article we can read: "As part of dissolving the agreement with Philips, Nintendo gave them the license to use five of their characters, including Link, Princess Zelda, Ganon, and Mario for games on Philips's console, the CD-i, after the partnership's dissolution." However, the citation attached to Mario leads to the interview with Hotel Mario's creator, which says nothing about licensing at all. On the other hand, interviews concerning the development of Zelda games, like this one, mention the elusive "five characters" without specifying which ones those were. In my opinion, the "five characters" line appeared in the Zelda interviews, and then people remembered that Philips also made the Hotel Mario game and conflated the 5-character list with Mario since he's the protagonist and Nintendo's most recognizable mascot. However, in the Hotel Mario game we already have Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Bowser - add in Zelda's characters, and that's more than five, even if we don't count the Koopalings and the other iconic Mario enemies appearing in Hotel Mario as licensable characters at all. Now, take a look at the character roster of Faces of Evil and Wand of Gamelon, and you will spot exactly five canon characters that had appeared in previous Nintendo materials: Link, Zelda, Ganon - obviously, King Harkinian (1989 cartoon and Valiant comics) and Impa (Zelda I and II on the NES plus Valiant comics). All the other characters in those two games, like Morshu, Gwonam, Duke Onkled etc. were invented by the Philips team and never appear anywhere again. Mario's characters were probably licensed separately for the Hotel Mario game. Thoughts? -- LernosRotosch ( talk) 15:13, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
