Ok so Mario characters have been rated as 3-C for too long, and in this thread I will be downgrading them to- nah I'm just kidding. Today, at least.
As you may know, we split Paper Mario from normal Mario, but other profiles don't reflect this. While I don't necessarily want to rush people into revising them (I sure as hell don't know PM enough to do that), there is a pretty immediate issue that can be easily fixed. To quote Bowser' profile:
"Note: Despite the confusion of the Mario Bros. franchise canon due to Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, several games, such as Super Mario 64 DS, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Party 5, and other installments, have made several connections to the Paper Mario series, which establish them to be part of same verse. It should be noted that the Paper Mario series has made several connections to other games as well, with an interview with the creator confirming that the overall franchise has no canon to speak of. As such, the character who appears in the Paper Mario series is still the same character from other installments. For the stats on Paper Bowser, who appeared in Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam, click here."
That's uh, not how we treat things anymore, obviously, so that bit should definitely be deleted. Paper Bowser's profile bears a similar note, but given that it's not too high quality and that its existence is really misleading, unless someone wants to revise it it should just be deleted, rebuilding it wouldn't be much work anyways. I would say the same about Paper Morton, but Morton's actually very well-made profile has references, which makes it really easy to just port the Paper Mario stuff over to the other profile.
