Hey! Thanks for visiting my userpage! I'm Rykitu. I'm a media enthusiast who specializes in the Mario and Donkey Kong franchises. You may know me from my discoveries regarding Banpresto arcade machines or my countless edits on List of characters and List of advertisements.
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.
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 releasing. When my dad downloaded the game and I played it nonstop. 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 I didn't understand what consoles were at the time. After that, I slowly lost interest, until 2020 when I got back into the 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 until someone posted NSFW artwork of Max & Ruby (no, I kid you not. I am not sure how that even slipped through with their intense moderation). Which had me leaving that wiki in favor of this one. And after browsing this for a few years, I became a member. I really like it here, everyone is really nice, 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 need to be in the next Smash Bros. or else we riot
These are Mario characters that I like or find funny for no reason.
Lakitu (Lakitu is overhated. Mostly for being "annoying" in the platformers and the kart games. Personally, he is my favorite Mario enemy. I like his design, especially in the older era, and just like what Miyamoto said, "he seems to be very free, floating in the air, going anywhere".)
Colonel Culpepper (Why? Because yes.)
CooKoo Bird (Has some of the best quotes in the Super Show. Super underrated.)
Friendly Floyd (The only time I can recall this character got acknowledged is some fan animation with Bowser. I would like to see him return.)
George Washingtoad (Need I say more?)
Goro (Yoshi before Yoshi. Really cute and funny!)
Miss Endless (It would be really funny if she returned and was apart of Bowser's army after Mario expected her to make a cake from a broom and shoes.)
D.D. ("Bro. This dude's name is D.D.; short for Dangerous Duck. That is hard. Please, and I beg you, let this dude into Smash Brothers. If you got Piranha Plant in there you gotta have Dangerous Duck. He would 100% be one of the coolest characters in the game.")
The Hostess Munchies (They like gambling for free NES Control Decks)
Ronald McDonald & Grimace (These are definitely Mario characters.)
Bill Gates (This whole time Windows '95 was a hat. You have been living a lie your whole life.)
Super Cool Jake (You are only super cool if you give hints for Yoshi's Woolly World. Who else does that? Gamexplain?)
Doctor Sigmund Shrinkasaurus (If you saw this character with no context, would you believe he's from Mario?)
Mini Donkey Kong (Arguably better than Pink Donkey Kong Jr.)
Shaun the Sheep (Nintendo better rerelease that deleted course...)
Uncle Kong (Uncle Kong)
Kenneth (May he rest in piece.)
Koopa General (Interesting idea to turn the Blue Shell into a character. And Illumination did a good job at that, surprisingly. Unfortunately, 90% of his fanbase seems to be... well... (Just look his name up on YouTube and see for yourself. Or don't if you value your sanity.))
Characters that should not be in Smash Bros. and if they get in it would be a huge wasted slot. More so than the constant anime swordfighters
These are characters that I do not like and wish for them to step on a LEGO.
Kootie Pie Koopa (One of humanity's worst creations).
Harry and Walt (These guys are actual pet-o-files).
Sniper (One of the worst enemies I have encountered in any video game. It's as if they were created to screw you).
Prince Haru (Why does he exist at all? He never returns after the first movie and was only created for what I think the writers meant to be an emotional ending? Or did Nintendo have plans for this guy but scrapped him? Kibidango is superior on every level).
Baby Mario (Koala) (Out of all the Mario Kart clones, this is the laziest one. This is just Baby Mario (who is already a clone character) but with Koala ears and a backpack. How nobody were mass hating him as much as Pink Gold Peach is beyond me).
Baby Rosalina (Detective) (Same problem as Koala Baby Mario. Although she at least has more features that make her stand out then just having a Koala backpack and ears).
Milli Vanilli (Not only do they appear in the worst episode to ever be created in any television series ever, but they're voice acting was terrible. And it made it even more unbearable to watch them arguing with Kootie Pie for most of the episode. Not to mention the scandal...)
Jr. Klap Trap (He is SO annoying for the few times he appeared. At the very least, he didn't appear as much as the insufferable turtle with a bow. And I guess Medialab was smart and knew this, which is why he only appeared twice).

List of Mario games I've played
The following is a list of Mario games I've played in one way or another.
Game | Platform | Comments |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Arcade | Ok-ish platformer. Mario not being able to jump very high and take fall damage is an interesting concept, but there are a lot of jumps you would make where you think you'll be fine, when you aren't. |
![]() |
Arcade | Same thing with the above, except this game is harder. |
![]() |
Arcade | Really fun with other people, ok if you're alone. |
![]() |
NES | You basically have no reason to play again as soon as DK falls to his doom. |
![]() |
NES | Same problem as NES DK but you get more stages and it's more unique. |
![]() |
NES | Same thoughts as Arcade version. But playing it over and over again does get repetitive after some time. |
![]() |
Arcade | Found the game, but pointing the joystick up didn't work. Therefore, I don't have an opinion as of now. Although I bet it isn't much different from its NES counterpart. |
![]() |
NES | Bad |
![]() |
NES | I played this game before I played actual pinball. And when I did, I kept spamming the flippers and I failed. So not only is this game a LIAR, but it also poorly simulates pinball. I know this game released over 40 years ago, but even if pinball fans were to play this back than, I don't think they would've enjoyed it. |
![]() |
NES | I understand why this game flopped. Not because it's bad, but because the genre completely shifted to every other arcade game ever. I'm personally not a fan of shooting games, and this, is a shooting game. |
![]() |
NES | Ok, but not good enough for me to willingly complete all 100 phases. |
![]() |
NES | Great time-killer. But the controls aged horribly. |
![]() |
VS. System | Fun and frustrating. Pretty much the same thoughts as the above. |
![]() |
Famicom Disk System | This game has a bad reputation just because it's hard. I personally think of it the same way as SMB1, just maybe play this instead if you're tired of seeing 1-1 for the 50th time. |
![]() |
NES | Two mediocre games in one makes for a meh game. |
![]() |
NES | This is extremely underrated. A fun gameplay element AND unique bosses? Truly an improvement over SMB1, and Super Mario Bros. Wonder boss-wise. Those who criticize the game because it's a reskin of Doki Doki Panic have not played the game. |
![]() |
NES | Great game, just make sure to play a version with save states. |
![]() |
Game Boy | Pretty fun, but repetitive overtime. |
![]() |
Game Boy | I feel the same about this as SMB1. But maybe a tad bit better as it is very unique. |
![]() |
Game Boy | Very addictive. Completely understand why it became the best-selling game for awhile. |
![]() |
NES | Same idea, but in color. Only including this here because it is on List of games. |
![]() |
NES | Not skilled enough to get past around the 5th level. |
![]() |
Game Boy | Same idea, but no color. Why? |
![]() |
SNES | I like all the secrets this game has. As well as the Cape Feather, and of course, Yoshi. Prefer this over SMB3. |
![]() |
NES | Meh. |
![]() |
NES | Addictive, but not as addictive as Tetris. |
![]() |
Arcade | Yes. I played one of the 519 copies of this game in the world. Even though I sucked at it (because my only experience with pinball was Pinball on the NES) I did enjoy it and the soundtrack is fantastic (probably because of the games soundfont). I played this on my trip to Las Vegas, which was an absolute disaster. This simple pinball game is the only positive thing I have to say about the city besides the architecture and a Dairy Queen that still has an Orange Julius collaboration. I'm good at Pinball now thanks to a Star Wars pinball machine at Costco, but I definitely won't return to Las Vegas just to play Mushroom World. |
![]() |
SNES | As an artist myself, (not a good one, but an artist none the less) this is more of a novelty than an art tool. When you draw lines at a moderate pace, there will still be gaps the paint can get through, so you have to go slow. Like, really slow. Which is kind of annoying! I also haven't gotten the hang of the music mode yet either. |
![]() |
SNES | The SMB1 of Mario Kart. Good, but the controls are horrible. |
![]() |
Game Boy | Really fun and underrated. Leagues better than SML1 |
![]() |
NES | More addictive then Yoshi, but not as addictive as Tetris. |
![]() |
SNES | Great collection of remastered NES games. But it's overshadowed by a better version with an extra game. |
![]() |
NES | I liked this game! Even though it's literally impossible after you beat Fake Wario. |
![]() |
Game Boy | A great and super underrated game. This took way too long to release on NSO. |
![]() |
SNES | I enjoyed this one! I liked the mechanics, controls, the characters, a lot about it is really good! My only complaint is the locations of the bonus rooms that are required for 100% completion. |
![]() |
SNES | I think this game is fun. I just wish I didn't play on mobile. |
![]() |
SNES | Fun collection of addictive puzzle games. |
![]() |
SNES | Better then the original Super Mario All-Stars in everyway all because of Super Mario World. Remember playing this on Delta emulator before I deleted it because of a certain game that is ahead... |
![]() |
Game Boy | It's pretty good. Although sometimes it feels like a complete guessing game. |
![]() |
Game Boy | Why did they think it was a good idea to port one of the most graphically impressive SNES games to a portable console that can't display color? |
![]() |
SNES | It's decent. The game lasts way too long in my opinion. And I like long games, but if I don't find it enjoyable most of the time, I want it to end. There are also too many levels that are just mazes, and those aren't fun. |
![]() |
SNES | I feel the same way about this game as I do with Mario's Picross. |
![]() |
SNES | Same as DKC1, but the 100% conditions are ridiculous. But that can be said for all the classic DKC games. |
![]() |
SNES | I really tried to give the RPG games a shot, sometimes I find them fun at the beginning, but they always bring in new mechanics I'm not a fan of. Therefore, don't expect me to say much about these. |
![]() |
Nintendo 64 | Yet another great game. Every time I replay it, I always find fun. |
![]() |
Nintendo 64 | Definitely the improvement over SMK, but the rubber banding in this game is insane. |
![]() |
Game Boy | Eh. |
![]() |
Nintendo 64 | Worse then the original because I can't BLJ. |
![]() |
Nintendo 64 | The only reason this is on this list is because I played it for long enough for me to consider this something I played. Even though I haven't played it long enough to have an opinion. |
![]() |
SNES | They turned a ok time-killer into a confusing puzzle game. |
![]() |
Nintendo 64 | I tried to play this game with my family, who's only party game they would play was Superstars. They did not like it. I think it is ok, but good luck beating Tug-O-War without getting a blister or loosing your mind! |
![]() |
Nintendo 64 | This is a good fighting game. I still have no idea how I beat the story mode in one go. |
![]() |
Game Boy Color | It's pretty fun. Better then G&WG1 because I played it on a more professional console. |
![]() |
Game Boy Color | Just play All-Stars. Unless You vs. Boo is your thing. |
![]() |
Game Boy Color | I understand why people like this series. It's just not for me. |
![]() |
Nintendo 64 | Ok. |
![]() |
Nintendo 64 | This is the RPG I got the farthest in. Maybe I'll try it again someday. |
![]() |
Game Boy Advance | Great remaster of a remaster. |
![]() |
Nintendo 64 | I am not used to using arrow buttons on controllers with joysticks. |
![]() |
Game Boy Advance | It's Super Mario Kart, but better |
![]() |
Game Boy Advance | Much better than Wario Land 3. Pretty fun. |
![]() |
Game Boy Advance | Another good remaster that puts the Dragon Coins to good use and gives the Galoomba's sunglasses. |
![]() |
Nintendo GameCube | Extremely difficult to the point I don't like it. The Lost Levels had a reason to be difficult. This is just unfair. |
![]() |
Game Boy Advance | Same as the SNES version. |
![]() |
Game Boy Advance | This game is fantastic! I like the game's concept and the characters are great! |
![]() |
Game Boy Advance | The best advance game when it comes to improving the original. |
![]() |
Game Boy Advance | Got to the Beanbean Kingdom, and that is where my save file is left off. |
![]() |
Nintendo DS | This game is probably really good. But I played it in the worst way possible! I got the ROM from Emugames.net (which I've used before and was safe), but after playing for awhile, I realized that my phone was heating up and my battery was going down and when I plugged it in, it was still going down and I had to delete the game. The battery went back to normal afterwards. DO NOT USE EMUGAMES.NET FOR ROMS! ITS NO LONGER SAFE! |
![]() |
Wii | I didn't grow up in the Wii era, so when I played this game in 3D All-Stars I didn't enjoy it as much as other people did. Mario moves too slow in my opinion. Still a good game though. |
![]() |
Arcade | It's ok. Announcer is kind of annoying, and the controls for turning are terrible. |
![]() |
Wii U | I played this game as a demo in a museum. But I was so young and trash at console games so I don't have an opinion. |
![]() |
Arcade | I might try the Luigi's Mansion series one day, but for now this is my only experience. And it is ok. |
![]() |
iOS/Android | My first Mario game! It's ok looking back. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | Great multiplayer game! It's what a Mario Kart should be. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | The best 3D Mario. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | The Captain Toad levels in 3D World are ok. Does this mean an entire game centered around Captain Toad levels should be made? NO! |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | They were WAY too generous in this one. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | I'm not that good at it (I mostly main Captain Falcon and Falcon Punch and Falcon Kick everyone to varying degrees of success) but I do see why people enjoy it. Even if I do suck, I enjoy it. Just wish they didn't make like 30% of the roster anime swordfighters. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | This game is overhated. The only reason people hate this is because they were tired of the NSMB series. I think it's fine. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | I played this game to death when I got my switch. Very fun, but a bit too limiting. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | This game is the only reason I got to play Galaxy and Sunshine. Those are good, but after playing the SM64 remake, I can see why people hate it. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | Just like Super Mario Bros. 2, 3D World is very underrated. I love the gameplay of a linear 3D Mario. ON THE OTHER HAND, Bowser's Fury is EXTREMELY overrated. Not saying its bad, I just think its ok. Not a fan of Bowser showing up for about a minute just to make things harder for me if I'm trying to get a shine. Also, I refuse to believe this game is mainline. Those who do are Bowser's Fury enjoyers who just won't shut up about a game that is just alright and nothing more. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | Out of the two WarioWare games I've played, this is the best one. I like the idea of playing as all the different characters and them having different strengths and weaknesses (except for the characters that require rings to maneuver). The microgames are also pretty solid. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | Better then Super Mario Party in every way. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | Wonderful game! |
![]() |
Skybox Italia | I technically didn't play this game, but I DID play Pongoal, which was a reskinned version of this game without the Mario theming so it counts in my opinion. The controls are very unresponsive, which brings this Pong clone down a lot. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | Great puzzle game! Reminds me of those puzzle-based Flash games you would find on CoolMathGames or ABCya but turned into a platformer. Now when are they going to remake DK94? |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | I was immensely disappointed when I found out this game wasn't a proper championship. Still an ok game though. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | Better then Superstars, but when you're in a family who wants to play Party Mode and not the other modes, unlocking things aren't good. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch | Pretty good, from what I've played of it. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch 2 | This game I feel like is too experimental. Free roaming is pretty good. But I do wish the controls had some improvement and the character roster had more returning picks than random Mario enemies they picked out of a hat. |
![]() |
Nintendo Switch 2 | Just like the two games above, I only played this as a demo. And it's pretty great! |
Mario trivia barely anybody knows about
- The Super Mario World Popcorn machine and Janken Fukubiki: Super Mario World's soundtrack is taken straight from Mario Undōkai. Or vice versa depending on what released first.
- The ending of the fourth Donkey Kong coloring and activity book implies that Mario and co. are miniature creatures that crawl into their video games. Kinda like Wreck-it Ralph.
- One of the volumes in the Shogaku Ninensei version of Super Mario-kun is about Bowser getting extremely skinny and getting lit on fire like a match by Mario.
- According to the Mario Quiz Cards, Peach's blood type is O Positive
- Also from the Mario Quiz Cards, Mario follows all religions.
- If the player is male and finishes the main story of WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! and hovers over Mona's microgames as the text scrolls, Mona will call the player cute.
- Bowser has not 1 but 2 games if you consider ball-throwing arcade games video games.
- The design for Jordan's OC is kind of reused for Aiden in Super Mario Maker 2 Challenges!
- Play Nintendo's YouTube Shorts may imply that Ryan's World is canon in the Mario universe.
- According to Super Mario Bros.: Trapped in the Perilous Pit, the Mario Brothers were sent to the Mushroom Kingdom for the first time sometime last Monday.
- The Coleco Adam versions of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. are the only official versions of the game to have a name registration theme.
Other random stuff
Don't find out what Yoshi does to her in Super Mario-kun. You don't want to know...
Wild.
This is supposed to be Candy Kong's baby.
Even after an earthquake, tsunami, and a dang nuclear incident, Super Mario Fushigi no Korokoro Party 2 still remains.
Eminem has been real quiet since this dropped
This is supposed to be Luigi. Here, it is said he came from a neighboring kingdom. WHERE HAVE I SEEN THAT BEFORE!?
