Greetings and salutations! I'm Ryker. Better known on this wiki as 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 because that kind of stuff interests me the most.
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.
This page is in the process of a rewrite, so don't expect some things to stay like this for much longer...
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 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 need better interests, and thats 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, causing your battery to decrease, and they constantly promote they're terrible "content" and other wiki's you may have no interest on. The final straw was when some sick individual thought it would be a good idea to post NSFW of a children's show (even though Fandom has surprisingly good moderation to such content). I left 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, I got the usual "italics" reminder everyone and their mother gets after making a few edits. But I slowly improved, and now I am writing detailed pages! I have also changed a lot as a person, so if you see 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, 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 I enjoy and deserve a star
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".)
Luigi (Do I really need to say anything? He's Luigi. You know why he's here.)
Conkdor (Silly ostrich that wants you dead. He's also an editor here.)
Conker (What a cool character! I sure do hope he doesn't become a gooner alcoholic!)
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 I don't enjoy and deserve to get a Ztar
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).

Proposals I've started
These are the proposals that I've started for rules to be enforced, or to stop from being enforced.

- Remove the YouTubers from List of references on the Internet (passed/failed, nothing was implemented)
- Limit the usage of the term "electronic water games" (canceled due to proposal feedback, was still implemented. Proposal was not required.)
Rykitu's never ending to-do list
These are the projects that I'm focusing on. I sorta just do whatever I want, and I tend to jump around from one project to the next. Sometimes I do stuff that isn't even on this list!
Currently working on
- Add summaries to every advertisement on List of advertisements.
- Give better coverage towards activity books (such as Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Ehon, and more recent ones.)
- Make more articles on Japanese exclusive Mario arcade games.
- Help cover other publications that aren't well documented.
- Create articles for games on List of physical games.
- Get List of characters to featured status.
- Add missing stuff to history sections of pages.
- Find scans for currently lost publications.
- Help out with Play Nintendo coverage.
Want to work on
These are things I want to work on, but not now due to either procrastination or busy with projects in the above section.
- Make an article for Famicom Manga.
- Make articles on Ben & Amy characters.
- Improve Terebi Denwa: Super Mario World.

Procrastination On hiatus
These projects are dead until I have motivation in finishing it.

- Complete List of items by first appearance.
List of Mario games I've played
The following is a list of Mario games I've played in one way or another.
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
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. Sound familiar?
So THIS is the Koopa Taiji sequal we've all been waiting for!
The End
Congratulations! You've reached the end of my nonsense! Uhhhhh go check out these other userpages. They seem like cool people.
