Greetings. The name's Walkazo, as you may have guessed from this page's title. I'm a Sysop here on the Super Mario Wiki, so feel free to ask me anything (within reason) and I'll do my best to help you out. I used to share this account with my little brother, Pantaro Paratroopa, but not anymore; so if you're looking for him, go there (but don't expect a response - he hasn't edited in months).

Now about me... Well, I love Mario stuff, but I hate Mario himself. I dream of the day Nintendo creates a game in which Bowser is the titular character and finally gets his long-awaited victory over that accursed plumber. I also hope that some day the people at Nintendo will make sense of all the Marioverse/timeline issues they've cooked up over the years. Unfortunately, neither is likely to happen anytime soon, so I compensate with writing Bowser-centric fanfiction and my own personal writeup of the Mario series (an ongoing project) which only truly be complete once I realize my dream of playing all the Mario games in existence (even the "bad" ones like Mario is Missing).

Another thing I'm working on is an evolutionary chart for all the Koopas, including Bowser's species which infuriatingly has not been given an official name and is therefore devoid of a page here on the Wiki (I call them Dragon Koopas). One of the first steps towards this is a compete taxonomy of the Koopas organized by family, genus, and species. Like my timeline (which will eventually be posted here), it's a work in progress.

I'm not nearly as active here on the Super Mario Wiki as I'd like to be, thanks mostly to school. I mostly do gnomework and why I was promoted for it is beyond me; most of the time I italicize stuff, fix spacing, add semi-colons or inject big, posh words into articles. I also like sticking my nose in policy debates, mostly about Chronology and Canonicity; call me strange (which I am), but I find these fascinating.

School Project
My Grade 12 Biology class once did a lab where we put plasmids containing jellyfish DNA (as pGLO plasmids) into E. coli bacteria (a strain called MM294), making them able to glow green under UV light. Instead of doing a monotonous lab report, our teacher had us use a creative medium to explain what we did in the lab and our results; I chose to do a fanfiction, and this is the title page:

BJAODN stuff
For the record, this is the stuff (highlighted with the boldface) that I found funny.
 * "World 4: Tropical rain forest with intoxicated waters." -
 * "Tolstar and the guards live." -
 * "Shadoo could also be Dark Link." -
 * "In Mario Party 6, Wario and Toadette's team name is named Secret Friends. This may refer that Wario and Toadette were once friends, secretly." -
 * "[The] Nipper Plant ... spoke in a very deep town reminiscent of a drill sergeant." - Typos are fun.
 * "In Super Mario 64 DS, the star is the same as if it was gotten in the original version of the game that can be gotten in the original way." - I had to replace this for almost every  mission... It's not so much funny as it is painful.
