Greetings. The name's Walkazo, as you may have guessed from this page's title. I used to share this account with my little brother, [[User:Pantaro Paratroopa|Pantaro Paratroopa]], but not anymore; so if you're looking for him, go there.
Now about me, the elder sister, Walkazo... Well, I love ''Mario'' stuff, but I hate [[Mario]] himself. I dream of the day ''Nintendo'' creates a game in which [[Bowser]] is the titular character and finally gets his long-awaited victory over that accursed plumber. I also hope that some day the people at ''Nintendo'' will make sence of all the Marioverse/timeline issues they've cooked up over the years. Unfortunatley, neither is likely to happen anytime soon, so I compensate with writing Bowser-centric [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1187666/Walkazo fanfiction] and my own personal writeup of the ''Mario'' series (an ongoing project) which only truely be complete once I realize my dream of playing all the ''Mario'' games in existance (even the bad ones like [[Mario is Missing]]).
Another thing I'm working on is an evolutionary chart for all the Koopas, including Bowser's species which infuriatingly has not been given an official name and is therefore devoid of a page here on the Wiki (I call them [[Dragon Koopas]]). One of the first steps towards this is a compete [[User:Walkazo/Koopas|taxonomy]] of the Koopas organized by family, genus, and species; and a [[User:Walkazo/Templates|template]] with links to ''all'' the Koopa Species. Like my timeline, it's a work in progress.
Well, that's about it for me in relation to ''Mario'' - an obsessive, scientific fangirl.

Greetings. The name's Walkazo (big surprise there). I'm a [[Special:Listusers/bureaucrat|Bureaucrat]] here on the Super Mario Wiki, so feel free to ask me anything (within reason) and I'll do my best to help you out. I joined the wiki in 2007 along with my brother, who shared my account for a few months before I kicked him out. His name's [[User:Pantaro Paratroopa|Pantaro]], but he left the wiki years ago, so don't bother trying to call him up.

===WWII===
 
[[User:Pokemon_DP|Pokémon DP]] and I have recently agreed to write a story based on World War II. It's still in the planning stage, but [[User talk:Walkazo|talk to me]] if you wanna be in it! [http://userpedia.scribblewiki.com/Wiki_War_II This] is its Usperpedia page, and if you're a member there you can just sign up on that page. Also, if you're interested in helping out with writing the story, [http://z3.invisionfree.com/Userpedia/index.php?showtopic=20&st=0& this] is the link to the forum. But be warned: it contains spoilers!
 
===Spritework===
 
This is my second version of me and my brother's sprites. The [[Paratroopa]] sprites at the top of the page are Pantaro Paratroopa and the Dragon-Koopa at the bottom is me, Walkazo (the image is actually my idea of what [[Bowser|Bowser's]] wife (who I call Bowselta, (as opposed to [[Clawdia Koopa|Clawdia]])) looks like, but I use her as my avatar). I included alternative expressions for both me and PP as well as spritework of a [[Shroob]] laser and sprites of PP holding one (centre page). He also used a special effect from (I think)  Max2's sprite sheet for the blue tornado, but he used outdated sideways-shell sprites (bad ones he made before I made good ones (the plain ones with the dirt poofs)). Finally, I also included sprites of my pet Shovelnose Catfish, Biggles (top left), and of my local Grackles (a species of North American Blackbird), who my family has been monitoring for the last four years (middle right). The animals are part of my character's special ability "Call of the Wild" in which I call either the flock of Grackles (or Biggles if I'm in the water) to attack my enemies.
 
This is a work in progress. I hope to include more sprites of Biggles (who, in reality, is only about a foot long, not giant like I have made him in my spritework), as well as some sprites of PP and I as our chameleon namesakes.

===School Project===
My Biology class recently did a lab where we put plasmids containing jellyfish DNA (pGLO plasmids) into ''E. coli'' bacteria (a strain called MM294), making them able to glow green under UV light. Instead of doing a monotonous lab report, our teacher had us use a creative medium to explain what we did in the lab and our results; I chose to do a fanfiction, and this is the title page:
 
[[Image:BowserMM294.png|400px]]


In case you couldn't read my atrocious handwriting, the title was '''"Bowser and the Transformation of MM294"'''.
Now about me... Well, I'm a 24-year-old girl from Toronto, Canada, and I'm currently studying at university to be an [[wikipedia:Ornithology|ornithologist]] - although I'm interested in many other branches of zoological science as well, like genetics and evolution. I also love ''Mario'' stuff (obviously), although I sympathize with {{fake link|Bowser}} much more than the titular plumber himself, and split my computer time between editing the wiki and writing Koopa-centric [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1187666/Walkazo fanfiction]. Around the wiki, I try my best to keep track of [[MarioWiki:Proposals|Proposals]] and other such policy debates, and while most of my edits are maintenance work, if I come across poorly written articles on my rounds, I usually sit down and try to fix it. One pet-project I have on the go is to mash as many of the games as I can into one comprehensive timeline that goes along with my fanfiction. I already made {{plain link|1=[http://walkazo.deviantart.com/art/Mushroom-World-Map-381271109 a (partial) world map]}}, although I had to tweak or completely ignore quite a few in-game maps to make it work. Another thing I'm working on is an evolutionary chart for all the Koopas, including Bowser's species (which I call {{fake link|Dragon-Koopas}}, seeing as an ''official'' name hasn't actually been made yet).


== Trivia ==
Between my editing, writing, work and my education, I don't have as much time as I'd like to play the actual video games themselves, but I manage to squeeze a few in here and there, and I'm always on the lookout for new titles to add to my collection. My favourite games are ''Super Mario World'', ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'', ''Super Paper Mario'' and ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''

As well as my aforementioned fanfiction, I've also done some writing for The 'Shroom over the years. So far, I've written four special sections discussing the science of the Koopas (listed below), and hope to do a couple more someday. I also have an ongoing "Mario's Boombox" column, wherein I recommend videogame-inspired/derived music, and am doing a one-year run of a comic called The Adventures of Little Mario, about Mario and his friends running amok as kiddies. I've also done a few awards presentations and co-authored the comic "I heard you have a dragon problem?" - my one and only foray into user fiction.
