I changed "Mario" to "Mario-like" in the Secret Maryo Chronicles entry to help clarify that SMC is not part of the Mario series and not a product of Nintendo, but I think it should be further clarified somehow. -- Topsfield99 ( talk) 15:20, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
It doesn't make any sense for something without brackets to redirect to something with brackets, unless it's like part of a song title or something (for example " Everything I Do"). In this case "Super Mario" redirects to "Super Mario (disambiguation)". My original point in the discussion above was that if the video game series was the primary topic, then it shouldn't have brackets. Otherwise the disambiguation page should be just "Super Mario", not "Super Mario" (disambiguation). Unreal7 ( talk) 23:38, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Done - Another user finished the process for me, the disambig is now located in the right place. -- Nathan2055 talk - contribs 16:46, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. There was clear consensus to move this page to a disambiguation page, but less so about what to do with the "Super Mario" - the choices being to redirect it to Mario or move Super Mario (series) to it. Opinions were split equally on which was the best alternative, but I think czar had a good point about whether Mario was ever referred to as Super Mario - no evidence was provided to the contrary, so as part of the closure, I'll be bold and move Super Mario (series) here, but won't object to any move back. However, there should probably be an RFC on what to do with the Super Mario space if that isn't agreed to be the best solution. Number 5 7 11:29, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Super Mario (disambiguation) – I believe that the
primary topic for the term "Super Mario" is
Mario, the character from the video game series; the term "Super Mario" was highly recognized to represent the character as a name back during the character's creation in the 1980s. No other subject, even games that have included the
Mario character, have not seemed to even come close to the level of notability/connection the synonymous connection between "Super Mario" and the Mario character. In addition, the fact that all games in the
Super Mario (series) feature the eponymous character essentially puts the character as the primary topic by default. For this reasoning, I believe that this page should move to
Super Mario (disambiguation) so that the "Super Mario" title can become a redirect towards
Mario.
