List of every course?

This is only a suggestion, but would it be a good idea to have a list of every course to appear in the Mario Kart series? It can either be in this article or a separate one. If this idea is approved, then I'd be happy to start it off myself. If it's rejected, then that's completely fine with me. SuperWikiBrother (talk) 13:31, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Absolutely not. This falls under WP:GAMECRUFT and Wikipedia is not a game guide. ThomasO1989 (talk) 18:40, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

About this article

I could see what you said earlier. We definitely don't need tables for characters and courses. This is similar to the Just Dance articles. Why is the page cruft? 45.72.206.128 (talk) 02:00, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

Characters and courses

I remember that users/editors need to add a consensus before adding new sections such as characters, vehicles and courses. How do we add a consensus? 99.209.40.250 (talk) 14:17, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

I'll get it out of the way first that both the list of courses and a list of vehicles are not appropriate for Wikipedia, especially where we literally listed off every course in the series and whether or not they return in future installments. None of this is covered by any reliable source. Also, none of these courses aside from Rainbow Road have a dedicated article that covers their notability. For example, a course called "Moo Moo Farm" appearing in MK64 and MKWii, with no other information given, is only useful to those that have played the games and know what Moo Moo Farm is. Same for a list of vehicles. This is pure WP:GAMECRUFT. As for the list of characters, Super Smash Bros has repeatedly been brought up as a precedent. Ignoring WP:OTHERSTUFF, SSB differs in that every character has an associated Wikipedia article (or at least a link to the game it originally appeared in), establishing at least some previous notability, and the inclusion of each character is often heavily covered in reliable sources. For Mario Kart, most of the characters at this point are relatively minor or have been invented for Mario Kart (Peachette, Musician Mario, Chargin' Chuck, Baby Daisy, etc), have no existing articles, and generally don't make headlines whether or not they are included.

Chargin' Chucks are from Super Mario World. 2600:6C4A:5A00:A68:92E8:68FF:FE92:BE1F (talk) 09:12, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

And? Doesn't change the fact that it's an extremely minor character that isn't covered by reliable sources. ThomasO1989 (talk) 16:11, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Development

The Development section needs expansion. How could we expand it? 69.165.146.227 (talk) 15:10, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Is Mario Kart Tour a mainline entry in the Mario Kart series

Mario Kart Tour is present in the course selection for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but it also has differing gameplay mechanics. For comparison, the Super Mario Wiki does not refer to Tour as a main entry of the series. (Oinkers42) (talk) 15:14, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

It's not available on consoles, and is not marketed as a "Mario Kart 9". Let's try not to give too much credence to a blocked editor's edit warring unless you have reliable secondary sourcing to present. -- ferret (talk) 15:26, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Actually, I started this discussion due to my own views on the subject (though the recent edit warring is what caused me to start this discussion now). Also, I am having trouble finding reliable sourcing on this topic in general. (Oinkers42) (talk) 15:29, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

nintedo counts it as a main entry they have the saying not you or the super mario wiki you never convince me with the lies you say 87.210.159.212 (talk) 10:57, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

If Nintendo considers it to be a main entry, please provide a source that says so. The Super Mario wiki is user-submitted and not a source to go on. And also, "the lies you say"? We're discussing whether or not Tour is a main entry. Take a breather before hitting the edit button, would you? Your tone isn't helping. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 11:57, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
