This page discusses the '''scope''' of Mariopedia. This wiki primarily covers the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], which also includes three spinoff franchises: ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'', ''[[Wario (franchise)|Wario]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]''. | This page discusses the '''scope''' of Mariopedia. This wiki primarily covers the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], which also includes three spinoff franchises: ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'', ''[[Wario (franchise)|Wario]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]''. Because the ''Mario'' franchise is so large, and [[Mario]] himself has even appeared in over 200 [[List of games|games]], it is important to note how far our scope should go. There are a couple of franchises and series that, while they are not part of the main ''Mario'' franchise, are closely associated to it, and are covered here as a bonus. | ||
==Scope== | |||
===''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise''=== | |||
For ''[[The Legend of Zelda (franchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' franchise, several [[The Legend of Zelda (series)|main series]] installments feature content from the ''Mario'' franchise, especially the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]], and a ''The Legend of Zelda'' title is often developed alongside a ''Mario'' title by the same development team. Sometimes ''Mario'' enemy families would extend over into the ''The Legend of Zelda'' franchise, such as [[Head Thwomp]], a boss who appears ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons]]'' but has not (or is yet to) appear in a ''Mario'' title. Basically, ''The Legend of Zelda''{{'}}s relation to ''Mario'' is a "parallel franchise," which is basically the middle ground between spinoff and crossover. | |||
Parallel franchises often share real-world history together and frequently make guest appearances and/or cameos in each other's franchise. They either currently or have formerly had the same rights holder. The ''[[mh:crashspyro:Crash Bandicoot|Crash Bandicoot]]'' and ''[[mh:crashspyro:Spyro (franchise)|Spyro]]'' franchises, although they were created by different game developers, are an open example of parallel franchises. | |||
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series=== | |||
The ''Mario'' franchise is the flagship representative of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'', and the series' English name is a pun on ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' | |||
===''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Conker'' franchises=== | |||
''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' is the first appearance of both [[Banjo]] and [[Conker]], who star in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (franchise)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' franchise and ''[[Conker (franchise)|Conker]]'' franchise, respectively. | |||
