Hello. I am a MarioWiki editor who specializes in the main series of games, Donkey Kong Country, WarioWare, and Paper Mario. I also really like Mario & Luigi, but it's a shame that they never made any more games after Bowser Jr.'s Journey. The main things I do here involve uploading high-quality screenshots, getting foreign names (primarily Spanish), and completing media lists. I've also more recently been adding to music/sound effect pages and digging up obscure information on the modern Paper Mario games.

Huge anti-proponent of "it's on the Discord" because why is it on the Discord? Why isn't it on the actual site people use to discuss wiki matters? Obfuscating information on a platform people might not use when it makes more sense to just include information on a way that is easy to source and verify, anyone can join in, and relevant discussion is contained in one place instead of 30 deleted/privated channels. It's not even about the community, Discord is not a permanent storage space. People use it to back up files and link to them, people think their servers are going to stay up forever. They don't. Meanwhile we still have talk page discussions from 2006. Those files you upload to Discord and source rather than just uploading them to the wiki go down within a week.

Completed projects

Current projects

  • Going very in-depth on the recurring track and sound effect pages to find obscure usages. WarioWare, Taiko, and NES Remix are full of undocumented uses. Plus diving into obscure games/software like Super Mario Collection Screen Saver and unpopular ones like Mario is Missing!.
  • Should Origami King moves get their own pages? (You may say no but I know how overly convoluted this game is on the inside and how it uses RNG damage based on how many enemies are attacking and also there are an excessive amount of really in-depth and niche interactions only 0.2 percent of players have ever seen and also the game straight up lies about some of its attacks (because no, Nipper Plants cannot breathe fire despite what the museum tells you) and also we have enemy attacks that weren't discovered for 5 years so maybe we should talk about that)
  • Sound tests! Personally, I love them. Make sure every game that has one has it covered and that Category:Names in other languages covers them.
  • Quick note, I like the idea of having a "hidden" tracks page for music in a game but not on the sound test. Something like what Deltarune Wiki has.
  • Hotel Mario script and other such "game script" pages.
  • Adding enemy resistances and such for Sticker Star and The Origami King.
  • Glowing spot data for Origami King.
  • Organizing the tracks for an individual game, figuring out which ones already have coverage or should be merged/are rearrangements, is hard. So I'm gonna start off with doing a Music section in the navbox for each game, which is easily noticeable and will indicate which tracks should be grouped together, and which have pages. If I overlook anything (i.e. a track being a rearrangement), it can be easily fixed. There is a proposal being written up to address this so I might hold on it, but having the stuff pre-written is also helpful because people can add to it and I don't think we'd remove any of this information for a full soundtrack article.
  • Media lists will be higher priority now that we're doing the songs for each game. The RPGs are all covered pretty well, except Super Mario RPG and its remake, Paper Mario 64, and Brothership. I'm not familiar enough with Super Mario RPG to help out on that, but I like PM64, so that could be fun. Brothership I have no plans to do.
  • Upload high quality screenshots
  • The later levels of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker have really low-res images. Even just tagging them for now could help. NSMBU and NSLU have some as well I'm pretty sure.
  • For Super Mario Maker 2, uploading editor icons. Most of these are uploaded now but there's still a few.
  • There still needs to be a final check of Donkey Kong Country/Donkey Kong Land level pages to ensure they have all the images they need.
  • The Yoshi's Island games should have a list and location of the Smiley Flowers in each level, like the New Super Mario Bros. games have. Red Coins would be important to include too.
  • Super Mario World should list the Yoshi Coin locations because they're required for 100% in the GBA remake.
  • The enemy appearances per level in different games are a good idea and we should make sure they're included where they should be.
  • Pi'illo lists are currently using a transcluding system, see how it works on Neo Bowser Castle. I think this is a great idea for these kinds of lists because they make them easier to manage -- you only need to edit them in one place. Should be applicable to other lists, mainly for the RPG games.
