I requested "Carnival Games Mini-Golf" a stand alone game for Nintendo Wii, and it was rejected, the reason being that "This should be requested as a new category on this page" and linked the Carnival Games page, which is a different game entirely.

Like, I get that that they might want to have less leaderboards, but this would just involve me consulting the Carnival Games mods to make a category for a game they most likely don't run, and then on top of that expecting them to "check" my run.

Huh. I did find stand alone packaging, but, are you sure mini golf isn't included in Carnival Games?

Yes, it is its own separate game. It's not DLC or part of Carnival Games at all.

I would say contact a series mod for Carnival Games and have them add the game, but uhh, that series isn't established.

Yeah I would say your request should have been accepted

I mean, it's not a big deal if they just don't want the game or anything, but yeah I just felt like they might have been mistaken.

Probably just some confusion about the game's relation to the other game.  It looks like it was added.
