Piasu: Studs and Piercings and Earrings of that sort are just called "Piasu" in nihongo (there doesn't appear to be a dedicated word for "stud", and all variants I can find use piasu). However, we translate "Ability Piasu" as Ability Earring, not the dub's "Ability Stud". Can we let Stud slide here, and on the Ability Stud page?

Boa-dzuke: Based on image searches, I feel pretty confident that lined could be reasonable. However, there are no direct translations on the web, and the closest I could come to an accurate translation would be "[[wikipedia:feather boa|Boa]]d Boots".

Finally: the comments with Goofy D's Mouth and Luxord's Goatee. Does the Ultimania have the wrong order, according to the game, or do we?

#RE: Boushi — Not sure. As far as I can tell, "cap" is a specific type of hat. I guess I could go either way (I notice, by the way, you didn't put a lit. for Donald's Cap), but if "''boushi''" is as general as I think it is, do we let the translation be fluid, or  do we just say it's "hat"...?

#RE: Piasu — Hate this one, too, for basically the same reason as for #2. Same issue applies, plus the issue from #5. I'm alright with translating it as "earring", but again, I don't know how fluid we should be.

#RE: Boa-dzuke — Important question: What is "boa" in this case? If it is like the [[wikipedia:Feather boa|<span style="background:white">scarf</span>]], maybe we should just have it as "boa'd boots" (yes, the apostrophe is important) and leave it as that. Include the wikipedia link, maybe?

== The Avatar Menu is weaksauce... ==
== Scratch Card rewards ==
 
Is there any system to what commands you might get from Scratch Cards, or are they basically random?  --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 22:16, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 
== Boss costumes ==
 
I can't remember, are these rewarded for finishing chapters as in coded/Mobile? Or are they fully random, as the article claims?{{User:KrytenKoro/Sig}} 15:49, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 
== Avatar Parts Genres ==


If you could use the Avatar Menu to customize the character you play as, that would be awesome. [[Special:Contributions/98.151.172.22|98.151.172.22]] 11:45, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
From what I can tell, it appears that rather than matching specific parts to increase happiness, there's a genre associated with most avatar parts, with the exception of Bods, Lips, and Peepers. Just about everything else has a specific genre which the Ultimania assigns a letter value to. It appears that the boost is 1 point for each part equipped that is from the same genre, plus it also appears that you get 1 additional point no matter what. What isn't completely clear is where you get 1 point for each one part you match to your friend, or whether it's a cumulative effect (i.e. if all your parts are from 1 genre, do you get a boost even if the other avatar doesn't match at all?; If the other Avatar has 3 parts of a genre you have 1 of, is that 1 point for one pair of parts matched, 3 for having 3 parts match a genre of the other avatar, or 4 for total number of matching parts?). At any rate, there only appear to be 6 genres in total. --[[User:JeruTz|JeruTz]] ([[User talk:JeruTz|talk]]) 17:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
