I reverted your image removal. Please explain why you removed it. Andre (talk) 00:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Per the lengthy discussion here[1], in short; use cover art if available or a gameplay screenshot. Combination 21:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
The title screen serves a similar purpose to the box art, I would argue. Andre (talk) 03:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
There is the odd argument of identifying the product within the marketplace, but as it's a rather old title there might be little or no point in doing so in this instance. Combination 17:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

And as for merging, please explain why you think a merge is necessary. Andre (talk) 00:48, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

There's only a few paragraph's worth of information with a reference that appears to be part of your personal website. What's so significant about this conversion that can't be discussed within Mario Bros. instead? Combination 21:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
The reference was created after this article to have a method for citing the existence of this obscure game. It's really a placeholder more than anything else, because English-language information on this game is rare. At any rate, extensive information about ports and such has already been sort of kicked out of the Mario Bros. article already. However, your point is taken -- what about some sort of merge of this title and Punch Ball Mario Bros. into perhaps a Mario Bros. (Hudson Soft) article? Andre (talk) 03:41, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I didn't realise that had occurred as ports are usually commented upon in the parent article. Merging those two does seem very reasonable, I certainly wouldn't object to it. Combination 17:15, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
