Marvin the Martian's Planet?

What is the Planet Marvin the Martian lives in? 50.100.44.204 (talk) 19:01, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Marvin the Martian lives on Mars, as one would expect from the name. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.8.29.20 (talk) 20:01, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That may be WP:OR. He may be from Mars originally, but does he actually still live there, or has he purchased a condo somewhere else, say on Ganymede, where real estate is cheaper? Clarityfiend (talk) 21:35, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If it's unreliable information, we need to edit his article extensively, since it states in several ways that he is from Mars, his home is Mars, he represents Mars diplomatically, and he has lived on Mars for some two millennia. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 94.8.29.20 (talk) 12:26, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Read the article more carefully next time. It only says he hails from Mars and that he has tried to destroy the Earth for two millennia. It does not say his home is currently Mars or that he represents the planet diplomatically (which, even if "true", wouldn't necessary require him to live there.

Here's a gen-you-wine Mars Rover photo from a few years back.[1] ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:51, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Words differencies

I am italian Wikipedia user and I like to know what is the differencies between this words:

When a film director show how the movie is built, two words is used for this: “behind the scenes” and “backstage”. What is the differencies? Thank you! 2.194.241.221 (talk) 20:23, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Backstage" generally (though not always) means the actual physical area behind the stage, whereas "behind the scenes" is a much broader term referring to anything that isn't known by the general public, even things like business deals to finance the production, casting reasons, etc. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:53, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is Knuckles playable in Sonic 3?

Is Knuckles the Echidna playable in his first appearance in Sonic the Hedgehog 3? 2605:B100:102:98EE:B178:9D5:9239:2287 (talk) 20:40, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently not. From Knuckles the Echidna it states "He was given a headlining role in the next game, Sonic & Knuckles, where he made his first appearance as a playable character." 196.50.199.218 (talk) 06:03, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can only play as Knuckles in Sonic 3 by using Sonic & Knuckles's "lock-on" feature to insert the Sonic 3 cartridge into the Sonic & Knuckles cartridge. -insert valid name here- (talk) 20:49, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
