[edit] Alternate Theory

From what I've read in the article and can piece together, it seems as if Mario 128 is nothing more than a "code name" for what the "next" mario will be. If Miyamoto uses this again past the release of SMG, then I believe we have the answer. The first quote of him talking about Mario 128 as being the Mario 64+the latest tech, it seems as if he's just using this label for the future of Mario, no matter which Mario game is being discussed. --Pdurland 20:09, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

My theory was that it's called mario 128 because the gamecube has 128 mb of RAM. And all mario 128 did was show how many marios could be displayed on screen using...128 mb of RAM --Magikmm 05:18, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Should this even be here?

Should we even have an article for a game we don't know even exists yet? Fact is, people have been talking about this "game" since 1997, when the name was used as a joke to refer to its sequel. So far we have nothing, no concrete info, only mindless speculation and assumptions with nothing to back them up, and a tech demo. Proof is, all we've got here is a bunch of interviews that basically state that nothing has been decided yet.

Is it really right to have an article like this on Wikipedia? It seems rather srange for an encyclopedia, if you ask me...

For the moment, I am removing this from the Mario template because there are no concrete facts on this game. Feel free to revert it if you disagree with me.-82.7.125.142 22:25, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

I think it has a strong a case as Duke Nukem Forever, and even if the game is never released, it could be an article on the term "Super Mario 128" - TW2k5

It's significant enough that basically everybody in the Mario gaming community (and even some who aren't) are familiar with the term and what it means, even if they don't know the full history. I say keep it. Jeff Silvers 06:43, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep it, its useful. In fact, I just used it! --BakugekiNZ 22:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes it should definately remain until the myth is disproven. Wikipedia covers other urban myths. I think it's for real though.

There is a video on the internet that may have some footage of this game. Understand that it is a fake video however, the Revolution doesn't really look like this. I would like to know where it came from, so I am hosting it on my web site because the original site (some japanese "media company") no longer has it. --NERD42  EMAIL  TALK  H2G2  UNCYC  NEWS  18:09, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Can't access the video, but if it is the "Nintendo ON" video as the filename suggests, then it is very very fake, and putting it in article could lead to nothing good. Anyway, regardless of the fact its fake, it doesn't even say that it is Mario 128. --BakugekiNZ 03:47, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I had it on my wishlist for a while on IGN but I took it down after IGN said that it was cancelled. - Guest. http://cube.ign.com/objects/014/014915.html

It's cancelled on the GameCube. Development has been moved to the Revolution/GO.—thegreentrilby 02:38, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tech demo

The tech demo Nintendo showed at SpaceWorld 2000 was, in fact, called Mario 128.

[edit] "Unverifiable content"

All unverifiable content needs to be removed. Such as most of the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.40.48.212 (talk • contribs) 04:04, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah! Because quoting from magazines means it's totally unverified. BlazeHedgehog 04:23, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

I hate you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.40.45.236 (talk • contribs) 06:24, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SMG

Are we sure this is Super Mario Galaxy?—thegreentrilby 12:58, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

The Miyamoto interview in the article and the SM64 reference/comparison in the trailer with SMG prove it. Theunknown42 13:47, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Good enough. I hadn't seen anything but a five-second clip on IGN, so I wasn't sure. ^{(I haven't really been following E3 this year, mostly because we're getting royally screwed by all three companies this generation.)}—thegreentrilby 14:12, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Prove it? O RLY? Unless they actually state it, I think we should assume that these two games are separate and should not be merged. Hbdragon88 06:02, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

And even if 128 really was the predecessor to SMG, this page contains enough unique information about 128 that it should say separate. Most of the information here would just clutter the SMG article (especially when we find out more about SMG) and would likely be deleted, which wouldn't be good. Jeff Silvers 22:14, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm with Jeff Silvers on this one. This article contains historical information on Mario 128 as it was originally envisioned, and should remain as it is. Malamockq 00:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

This is Mario 128 if not in name but in spirit. Miyamoto said that the new game on the Wii would be 128. I vote for either a section on Galaxy about it being 128 or total deletion. Bendragonbrown47 20:00, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

I think Mario Galaxy is actually a part of Super Mario 128 as if it was a Level, like as if they show a new Mario game called "Super Mario Sky" showing a similiar Level for Super Mario 64's Rainbow Ride Level. Then, people see that Super Mario 64 came and they see the "Super Mario Sky" in the game. I think SMG is actually a name for Super Mario 128 in a a form that nobody notices. Their way is showing missions in outer space(which takes a long time to finish them), making it look like a Mario game. So, I call Super Mario Galaxy a distraction

[edit] Mario 128 Vs 128 Marios

Ok there seems to be some confusion regarding this topic, Super Mario 128 as a game has never "officially" appeared in any form, what has appeared is Super Mario Galaxy and a tech demo called 128 Mario's: none of us know for sure if either one of these are in fact Mario 128. I made an edit that was RVted by someone given the reasn that if you read the article it's "pretty clear" that Mario Galaxy is the same game, to this I say "Pretty good" is not good enough for an encyclapedia unless Nintendo officially anounces that Mario 128 turned into Galaxy we shouldn't make such assumptions.

[edit] Merge Mario 128 with Mario 64 2

Oppose These 2 titles are separate development efforts. Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 01:33, 13 September 2006 (UTC) Oppose. Same as Cyberskull. Djsonik 00:13, 19 September 2006 (UTC) Oppose. I agree with Cyberskull--NFAN3 16:54, 30 September 2006 (UTC) Agree. Nintendo cancelled Super Mario 64 2. I think they decided to revive the idea and change the name to "Super Maio 128.--Voxxdude

[edit] Recategorization proposal

I'm proposing to move this and a few other games from Category:Mario platform games. Please see discussion there. --Heywood 18:46, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opening paragraph

Do we have any confirmation of the supposed technology that has been incorporated into other games, listed in the opening paragraph? --Zooba 15:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This article isn't worthwhile anymore

Shigeru Miyamoto said this month that Mario 128 was only a demo for the Gamecube, and that most of what was learned went into Pikmin. Despite our long fascination with what the game could be, it's been solidly debunked as not an actual game, and it never will be one. This doesn't deserve an article on Wikipedia anymore, and we should delete it. As such, I'm nominating it for deletion. Klondike 19:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
