before replacing gifs, just letting you know that I replaced loads of earthbound gifs in the same format as you, except having "sprite" in lowercase. Thanks Results May Vary (talk) 18:40, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

The Mother models are papier-mâché models, not clay

Hey! I just wanted to let you know that the models created for the first two Mother games are not actually made out of clay, but are rather papier-mâché models. This is confirmed by the Encyclopedia Mother book, which states as such in the model maker's artist profile in the enemy section. Here is the factoid on Twitter: https://twitter.com/obscuremother/status/1660035719027474434 And here is the mentioned artist profile in the Encyclopedia Mother book, translated from Japanese by Kenisu3000: https://kenisu3000.blogspot.com/2022/12/encyclopedia-mother-list-of-enemy.html?m=1 NintenBOUND (talk) 15:01, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

To be honest, I'm not buying it. Paper Mache simply does not look like that, and I am dubious about trusting a seemingly random Blogspot article about it. It also wouldn't line up with other Nintendo products at the time, such as the front cover of Nintendo Power with Mario, Pikmin 2's promotional material, or Super Mario Bros. 2 in general. Furthermore, during the Mother 1+2 event, there were multiple clay figures posted and those in attendance seemed to verify they were indeed clay. Unless a more concrete source emerges saying otherwise, I think keeping them as clay models is the most appropriate course of action. Trig - 15:13, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I found mention of the Mother 1 & 2 models both being papier-mâché on the website Mother Forever, which links to Kenisu's translation of the Encyclopedia Mother review I mentioned earlier. But when I copied the Japanese text from the Internet Archive and put it through Google Translate, It said it actually was "paper clay". When I researched that, it turned out it was actually a mix of toilet paper, joint compound, PVA glue, 2 tablespoons mineral oil, and white flour. So either the Google translation was shoddy, or now I have a third option: maybe we should call it paper clay? (this would also explain why the models' surfaces are so smooth.)

JPEG and JPG

I uploaded an image recently, but I forgot to shorten .jpeg to .jpg. I am sorry if this is an inconvenience for you, and I will try to rectify this in the future. I do not know how to alter the file so it displays .jpg instead. The file in question is this one: https://wikibound.info/wiki/File:LINDBLOMBOOK.jpeg NintenBOUND (talk) 17:20, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
