Greetings. The name's Walkazo, as you may have guessed from this page's title. I'm a Sysop 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 used to share this account with my little brother, Pantaro Paratroopa, but not anymore; so if you're looking for him, go there (but don't expect a response - he hasn't edited in months).

Bowser

Now about me... 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 sense of all the Marioverse/timeline issues they've cooked up over the years. Unfortunately, neither is likely to happen anytime soon, so I compensate with writing Bowser-centric fanfiction and my own personal writeup of the Mario series (an ongoing project) which only truly be complete once I realize my dream of playing all the Mario games in existence (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 taxonomy of the Koopas organized by family, genus, and species; and a template with links to all the Koopa Species. Like my timeline, it's a work in progress.

I'm not nearly as active here on the Super Mario Wiki as I'd like to be, thanks mostly to school. I mostly do gnomework and why I was promoted for it is beyond me; most of the time I italicize stuff, fix spacing, or inject big, poshly words into articles. I also like sticking my nose in policy debates, mostly about Chronology and Canonicity; call me strange (which I am), but I find these fascinating.

Spritework

The Paratroopa sprites at the top of the spritesheet are my brother, Pantaro Paratroopa, and the Dragon-Koopa is me, Walkazo. The image is actually a simplified version of my idea of Bowser's wife (who I call Bowselta, as opposed to Clawdia); however, I included a recolour of my sprites to be brighter and have purple-tinted hair like Bowselta. The other pallete swap was inspired by an unpublished fanfiction of mine too elaborate to describe here and now. I included alternative expressions for both PP and I, as well as spritework of PP's Shroob laser. 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). I've included 8-bit versions of us, as well as SMB3-styled images (the rest of PP's sprites come from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and I designed mine from scratch to match that scale). Also at the bottom, I've included sprites of my pet Shovelnose Catfish, Biggles, and of my local Grackles (a species of North American Blackbird), which my family has been monitoring for the last four years.

This is yet another work in progress. I had hoped to include more sprites of Biggles (who, in reality, is only about a foot long, not giant like I have made him here), as well as some sprites of PP and I as our chameleon namesakes. But my glitchy, old computer doesn't handle Photoshop very well anymore, and I don't have the time for spritework even if it did. So that's about all anyone will get for quite a while.

School Project

In case you couldn't read my atrocious handwriting, the title was "Bowser and the Transformation of MM294".

My Grade 12 Biology class once did a lab where we put plasmids containing jellyfish DNA (as 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:

Trivia

  • I beat (in my and PP's opinions) the hardest level of Super Mario Sunshine, Sirena Beach 6 on April Fools Day, leading Pantaro Paratroopa to believe I was just joking about it when I told him.
  • Both PP and I are named after lizards (Walkazo was a Veiled Chameleon and Pantaro was a Panther Chameleon); both of them died in my arms, which was rather poignant.

BJAODN stuff

For the record, this is the stuff that I found funny.
