Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Character Tiers: Almost nobody likes the Heavy characters, they are incredibly slow and useless on turns and offroads. This game probably introduced a real tier system.
Contested Sequel: Many people consider it inferior. Others consider it the part where the series began to Grow the Beard
Most Annoying Sound: Peach's lines of "Herewego!!!", "Peachy", and "Ayieee". Likewise, Toad's constant cries of "HERE WE GO!", "YAHOO!", and the dreaded "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!". They never shut up, either!
That One Level: Yoshi Valley was a huge labyrinth on narrow cliff sides, and the computer couldn't keep track of your places. Oh, and a huge egg crushes you.. Rainbow Road is ridiculously long and it's got chain chomps on the road (though unlike every other incarnation, you can't fall off). Sherbet Land has those penguins.
Urban Legend of Zelda: It was a fairly common belief that the Green Thwomp (nicknamed "Marty" by some) in Bowser's Castle in MK 64 was a secret racer.
