October 22, 2011: So...I kind of failed at updating. It's Super Mallow here. Jay and Joe are derps who came over and told me I had to update right this second, so I am. So uh...yeah...I failed at updating, but I've still been checking the site and forums. I'll need to go and figure something out for DP's future. I'm not happy where it's heading right now, if I'm honest.

In the meantime enjoy this! (From Jay and Joe)


 
Introducing Contests! Create a Paper Mario Partner!
Posted by on June 21, 2011

Donut Plains is proud to announce our newest feature: Contests!

And with the introduction of contests, we needed one to kick us off! And we got that with Donut Plains' first contest: Create a Paper Mario Partner! In this contest, you can use your creativeness to come up with some amazing partners for the Paper Mario series! All details can be found on the Contest page. It will end July 10, so hurry up!

We also have a new Ally in Metroid Wiki, and a new Affiliate in Zelda Wiki! Both are amazing sites for their respective series, so definitely go check them out. I would also like to personally thank Metroid Wiki for helping us with our own Wiki. It means a great deal to us.

I just got off a 53 hour work week - I didn't add any content. I will over the next few days. I apologize for it, and I apologize to the fans who submitted content. It will be up soon.

I also have not formally introduced the new Forums yet, so I have to do that. You should join the forum. It's a bit slow since we started over, but it's just so much better. I think you'll like being a part of it!

Smash Bros. 4 Announced
Posted by on June 7, 2011

Smash Bros. 4 was announced, but there's no details.It will be both for the Nintendo 3ds and the new console/controller, the Nintendo WiiU.

New Super Mario Bros. Mii was shown, but it was announced to just be a tech demo. Mii characters would have been playable in the game, though it seems like it would've been a full New Super Mario Bros. Game. Maybe later on?

 
Mario Kart 3DS To Include Flying? Tanooki Suit Mario, Luigi's Mansion 2
Posted by on June 7, 2011

Nintendo just showed off a video during their E3 conference which just showed a lot of things. Mario Kart 3Ds will include hang gliding, or at least that's what happened in the video. Actually, there will be hang gliding and underwater racing! It will be released Holiday 2011

In Super Mario 3DS, Mario can use the Tanooki powerup. This game will apparently have a lot more open areas, and will be out before the end of the year.

Luigi's Mansion will also have a new game on the 3Ds. There will be multiple mansions instead of just one.

Donut Plains will be at E3 this year! Well, in spirit at least.

- A special E3 section, launched before hand
- A bunch of site updates as the news breaks
- A chat on Msn you can join us in (Add smrpglegacy@hotmail.com to your Windows Live List)
- All trailers will be posted on our Youtube Channel (including Non-Mario games)
- The entire press conference will be on our Youtube Channel
- All announced games will get a homepage
- All new screenshots will be posted

And so on. We'll have it all. Our team has cleared everything aside for tomorrow, and we want this to be epic..

On top of everything, we'd like to announce Vanilla Dome, which is our new message board. We host it, and it's much better than the last one. So join today and be part of a great Mario community! We know this isn't a formal announcement with E3, so we'll do that later.

 
Paper Mario Marathon Part Uno + A Major Wiki Announcement!
Posted by on May 25, 2011

Hopefully everyone is enjoying Shadow Flare so far! We've received pretty much nothing but some positive feedback on it, and we really think we've improved the site so far. At least, everything we have seen or been told so far points to Version 3 being the best version yet. For that, we're excited!

To start things off today, let's talk about the Wiki, but let's be honest with ourselves too. Up until this point, we did not manage the Wiki well. We let it get infested with spam, and it wasn't a very good place to store Mario information. We're not going to lie about that.

However, we have finally gotten a solid hold of it. ALL WIKI SPAM IS GONE!! We installed some security things and since then, there hasn't been a piece of spam on it. The Wiki has actually be greatly improved with the removal of the spam, and there has been some new content added to it. We would like to extend our thanks to all those who helped us find a solution, and we would like to personally highlight the contributions of Sparky, a user who has contributed a huge amount of information and has done things such as create templates and delete spam.

So since we're doing a Paper Mario Content Marathon here on the site, and since the Wiki is all set now, we were hoping that you guys, the fans, would want to help out with this marathon. Of course, no one has to do so, but if you'd like, you can register at the wiki and start creating and editing pages immediately. We hope to see some dedicated fans there, it would be great for us, but more importantly, it helps out other Mario fans the most.

The Paper Mario Content Marathon is going very well, and as you'll see in just a few lines, we've added a lot of content already. Content from Smrpg Legacy has been transferred, but as this is being typed, we're not sure it's been posted yet. Just uploaded behind the scenes. We also have some new Fan Art and some more Fan Reviews! And lastly, our buttons and banners were old and stale. We've revamped the Link Us page we new buttons and banners!

» Added: 1 Affiliate (Nintendo Addict)
» Added: 2 Banners to Link Us page
» Added: 1 Button to Link Us page
» Added: 1 Fan Art (Sparky)
» Added: 2 Fan Reviews (1056Kirby)
» Added: Paper Mario Key Items
» Added: Paper Mario Peach's Items
» Added: Paper Mario Quizmo's Quizzes
» Added: Paper Mario: TTYD Special Moves
» Added: Super Mario RPG Star Hill Wishes

 
Shadow Flare
Posted by on May 18, 2011

Dark like a deep shadow with a flare that fuses color and homage. This is Shadow Flare. This is Donut Plains: better, stronger, sleeker.

Welcome everyone to the new layout, which is called Shadow Flare. It combines various elements from other versions but brings a completely fresh design. This layout shows off a totally different style of the site, combining images, sprites, artwork, and themes from Super Mario RPG, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Donkey Kong Country, and Donkey Kong Country 2 to create an improved design to the site. It also brings new content, better content, and reinforces already existing content.

This layout took nearly 200 hours to design and implement. And there's a lot of new features too. The navigation bar is now on the right and is shaded a different color., and it has also shrunk a bit to make things easier. The content area is bigger. The horizontal nav has rollover effects - if you scroll over them, you'll see some cool effects! The images on the navigation bar and other images that use the Super Mario RPG font have rollover effects too!

Most existing pages have been updated if they needed to be, such as the About Us page or the Past Updates archive. Each individual page now attributes credit to the staff member that submitted it, though site pages are excluded from this because they reflect all of us.

I would like to take this opportunity for a few things. First off, I need to thank Iwelyk of InsertDisc for helping to set up and style the News Blog. This is long overdue and I apologize to him. For the help, InsertDisc, a well written gaming blog, will become an honorary Ally of the site. Please give them a visit.

Secondly, I've caught up on all Fan submissions. I owe an apology to 1056Kirby for the extreme delay, and I thank you for your patience during the Shadow Flare construction.

And I would like to thank the News Blog staff as well and as always. In the absence of the site content, they have continued to do an excellent job in providing everyone with the latest Mario and Nintendo news. The blog is exactly how I pictured it, and they haven't slipped up yet. You guys are doing a tremendous job.

So now's the time for the big question: Content. We've got a lot this update. A new Soundtrack, over 1000 Screenshots, new Who Am I? entries, and a lot of Character Profiles! And there's 2 other big things coming as well. The first is that all content from Super Mario RPG Legacy, Sm's first website, will be brought over to Donut Plains. This extremely bolsters are Mario RPG knowledge! Another thing is that we have decided to do a content marathon. For the next month or so, JJ, BB, and Sm will be working on content sections for Paper Mario! We're going to try to get a good chunk of pages for it! We're considering doing these content marathons for other games as well in the future.

So, let's get to the important part of the update. Here's the latest content added! We hope that you will continue to support and enjoy Donut Plains in this new era!
