(I've been focusing a lot on my personal life lately, and I don't have the motivation to work on big projects at the moment (especially following the outcome of this proposal, which really put a sour taste in my mouth). Nowadays I only update List of characters and Template:Web videos when they need to be updated. One day I'll return to bigger projects, but for now this is how it will be.)

Greetings and salutations! I'm Ryker. Better known on this wiki as Rykitu! Just like everyone else here, I'm a huge fan of the Super Mario franchise who has also gotten into Donkey Kong from association. You may know me from my discoveries regarding Banpresto arcade machines, my countless edits on List of characters, or being one of the people improving the wiki's coverage of promotional material, mostly web videos.

Besides my edits on lists, I mostly add information from obscure, forgotten, or ignored pieces of Mario media that no one would think of documenting because that kind of stuff interests me the most, and doing this has become a hobby for me.

Also, for those wondering how to pronounce my name, it is R-eye-kit-2. Or R-eye-key-2 depending on how you pronounce "Lakitu". I prefer the former, but you pronounce it the way you like to pronounce it.

My history with the Mario franchise

My interest for the Super Mario series started what I believe to be the day Super Mario Run was released. My dad downloaded the game and 7-year-old me played it nonstop since I loved platformers (or as I called them back then, "walking and jumping games"). I even got him to pay the 10$ for the rest of the game. Eventually for Christmas I asked for a Wii (which I mistaken for a Wii U much like everyone else did), Super Mario Maker and Super Mario 3D World. All of which I never got, likely because the Nintendo Switch was already out, but since I was a dumb iPad kid, I didn't understand that you needed a console to play certain games. After that, I slowly lost interest and focused my time on stuff like Disney, Thomas & Friends, and Arthur. (Yeah, I used to be one of those kids). Until 2020, when I realized that I probably needed better interests, and that's when I rediscovered the Mario franchise, and when I get into a franchise, I typically see if it has a wiki and start browsing it. Which led me to the infamous Fandom wiki. I browsed there for a few months, and Fandom sucks. You get swarmed with ads, taking up all your resources, and they constantly promote they're terrible "honest trailers" and other wiki's you may have no interest on. That along with other problems, I decided to stop using that wiki (which I was lurking on, so don't expect me to have an account there). And after browsing this for a few years, I became a member. I was ok at first, but I slowly improved, and now I am writing detailed pages! I have also changed and learned a lot as a person on the internet, so if you see bad takes on some older versions of this page or a certain proposal where I crash out over a picture on a stub template, that was 2024 me, and I've improved as a person.

I really like it here, there's a lot of cool people here, and we all share our special interest in the red plumber. This is, in my opinion, the greatest fan wiki on the entire internet, and it is an honor to be apart of it.

Mario characters that I like

These are Mario characters that I like. (In no particular order). Just because a character isn't on here doesn't mean I don't like them (unless they're in the section below this)

Yeah, I know, those last ones aren't Mario characters but whatever.

These are the characters I think are just funny.

Mario characters that I dislike

These are characters that I do not like. In no particular order.

Pages I've created

These are the pages on the wiki I have created. You're welcome. Does not include talk pages, disambiguation pages, categories, or files.

Deleted pages

  • It's Me, Mario! Stop Motion Shorts (first draft) (page was originally titled "It's Me, Mario!" before being deleted as it was marked as a stub. A revised version was created by another user).
  • Boo-only claw machine (A talk page was created for the article asking to be deleted. I admitted I was a little skeptical when writing the article with what little we had. It was eventually deleted afterwards.)
  • Rob Shultz (refers to the person that appears in (from my knowledge) the only ripped copy of Mario 'n Me. The page was deleted due to the fact that each copy is personalized, and the copy uploaded to the internet just so happened to feature him. If we kept the article, we would have to create pages for everybody who appeared in every copy, and the content of the page would be the same for everyone.)
  • Jack (Quest for the amiibo!) (refers to the main protagonist of this cringe Disney Channel Original Movie-like ad for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. The page was deleted due to a proposal deciding to make the ad a guest appearance, meaning no articles for the characters.)
  • All of these articles were episodes of The Play Nintendo Show that cover non-Mario titles. I thought they would qualify since there were original skits that prominently featured a Piranha Plant character. It was decided these would be deleted and the notable information would be moved to character/item articles.

Proposals I've started

These are the proposals that I've started for rules to be enforced, or to stop from being enforced. Keep in mind that these are listed in order of creation, so don't think my behavior in the ones listed first are how I would approach things nowadays.

The Roadmap

If lost media is found on my past projects (such as Donkey Kong coloring books and King Koopa's Kool Kartoons), I'll add the information on what was found.

List of advertisements progress is currently on hiatus due to there not much to report on for most of them, a
