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 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 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)
Pink Donkey Kong Jr.
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.

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.)
Userspace pages
- The one you're on right now (obviously)
- My sandbox where I work on projects

The A Magical Tour of Yoshi's Island proposal is up for grabs, if anybody wants to take the time in making it.

- Add Twinkl to List of games (failed due to a discovery mid-proposal that the website only provided printables)
- Expand Super Mario Wakuwaku Game Land (passed and implemented)
- Move Super Mario World Barcode Battler cards to Super Mario World (Barcode Battler II) (passed and implemented)
- Add summaries to List of advertisements (passed and currently being implemented)

- Add The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!: Mario's Greatest Movie Moments onto List of games (passed and implemented)
- Split Jed Junior from Cowboy Jed (passed and implemented)
- What is lost media? (uhhh- this proposal was just to figure out what people thought is and isn't lost media. I wouldn't say it passed or failed.)
- 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.)
- Split Bowser Jr.'s history section (passed, will be implemented once its time)

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
- Improve our coverage on web videos.
- Look through The Cat Mario Show and add all of it's implied characters to List of implied characters.
- Add summaries to every advertisement on List of advertisements.
- Learn how to rip website assets to improve the Kinder Joy: Super Mario article, as well as research the Magic Kinder and Applaydu apps to see if there's any Super Mario-related content in them.
- 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 (most notably the Epoch games)
- Get List of characters to featured status.
- Find scans for currently lost publications.
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.
- Improve Terebi Denwa: Super Mario World.
- Rewrite and cover The Super Mario Challenge.
- Complete "list of appearances" sections on character pages.
Procrastination On hiatus
These projects are dead until I have motivation in finishing it.
- Complete List of locations by first appearance.
- 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.
- 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.
- There are two Italian dubs for the Donkey Kong Country television series. One was canceled, and the other was made by TINSKIN WIREBACK CLANKERS
My gallery of random nonsense
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!
This is a real photo used to promote an officially licensed Mario Kart skee ball toy
I can't believe Ashley would say this. I thought WarioWare was a Christian game!!!
