User blog:Weirdweirdweirdo/Unspoken Canon Facts

So, there are a couple things I felt like compiling into a little blog post to actually use the feature. This stuff isn't in the Community Canon and may be more specific to a couple pages. I'm too lazy to add any of this to the Community Canon, go whine to Ven about that and see if you get a response. You won't. "Oh, admin being lazy-" Shut up. Okay, time to stop the tangent and move on.

The Stuff This Blog Post is About
Here we go.


 * 1) There is no definitive name for any anomalous course, they'd realistically always be different unless it was so close to completion that it's name is still reachable. Most pages on levels will just have some unifying name, like for example if you were to encounter Skyhigh Pipelands, and it's called Sky-High Pipelines, this isn't an entirely new level.
 * 2) We don't have a page on this, but regular geometry editing to exiting levels is canon. Why? Because I said so. It's probably just the A.I. screwing with the model in whatever weird editor it has for DLA and MLE and whatnot without actually making a whole new level. So if one were to see that Shifting Sand Land has lost the weird temple thing on the bottom right of the map, it's not really DLA since it's not a new level, and not MLE since... Duh.
 * 3) If 2 pages contradict each other, like how SMFX is the "true" first version of the game but so is Wario Land 64 and then also the 1995 Build, and it's not by the same author, they just have contrasting interpretations of the lore. You can pick and choose which pages you perceive to be canon and which you don't. Not every page on this wiki is canon to each other, most can just work just fine together but if 2 pages contradict it's fine. We don't have canon templates or whatever for them, but you get my point.
 * 4) The more sinister anomalies like the WDW brain painting and Wario Apparition aren't the same on MIPS. They may be indicators that SM64 is demon spawn from the fiery pits of the devil's lair in the original lore, but the Wario Apparition is just the A.I. trying to make a neat boss fight, and the brain painting is just the developers being weird.
 * 5) Even if there's videos and images and music and whatnot associated with an anomaly, it doesn't mean it's real. Anything on this wiki could be entirely made up and it'd be indistinguishable from the rest. Like, Greenio has all sorts of videos, but yeah, they don't... Uh.. They don't really fit. With all the videos of the Wario Apparition, it could still just be made up. While it may boost credibility if you can record your experiences with something like Bob-omb Village, it could still be a ROM hack.  Again, you have to pick and choose what you want to believe.
 * 6) Just felt like mentioning this too since we're on the topic, you shouldn't really touch anything that specifically came from a YouTube video. For example, Flying Fortress. That's not in the same realm as say, Bob-omb Village, where it's just an anomaly that exists and here's a video on it. No, it was specifically made by Jefftastic.  You CAN say that it appeared in your copy in like a forum post or phenomena report in the server or something, but uh... Trying to make a video on it or something would be pretty frowned upon.
 * 7) This is in preparation for the other N64 games canon I'm gonna do eventually, but canons can coexist. I'm saying this because wasteofblood is making Ura Zelda videos as well as SM64 videos, so... Yeah.
 * 8) Specific to the DS canon, but there are several anomalies carried over to 64DS that should be established: A couple of the original iceberg levels like Big Boo's Forest since if the A.I. made the level based off of the skyboxes it could still do that here, Cheat Codes could probably use its own version but for now just   accept that it's canon, DLR and DLA, Eternal Star probably since I don't think the statue text is different, Enemy Discoloring and the 2 rip-offs of it (Coin Discoloring & Star Discoloring), the fourth floor and throne room (See: Waluigi Mode), the Internal Clock and Internal Weather System, Major Level Expansion probably, if the Ghoul Medal text is still there the Medals page, Notable Star Relocation, I don't see why not with the Painting Creator especially since SM64DSi says you can draw in the one section so draw a painting sure, Personification of the A.I. (You'll see eventually whenever Mint writes the page), Poison Mushroom considering the mushrooms exist, Power Ztars probably, the Book on Bad if that dialogue also remains, WEC maybe, and any others that don't really change anything about anything like for example the Umbrella and any other pages that have like DS-specific phenomena go check the category

There's probably more I forgot, tell me if there's anything I should add or whatever, this was the first idea I had when trying to figure out how to put blog posts to use so
