Hi. My name is Ghostkaiba297. Since I was around four, I've been playing Mario games. My first Nintendo game was Super Mario Bros. I've beaten it so many times I'm almost pro at it. My second Mario game (not counting Super Smash Bros.) was Mario Kart, and my third was Super Mario 64. I've beaten it and we have all 120 stars. My third was Mario Party 2, and I like to play that game with my friend sometimes. My fourth was Super Mario Sunshine, and our fifth was Paper Mario. My sixth was Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and our seventh was Mario Kart: Double Dash. My eighth and ninth were Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3. They were kinda tough at first, but I eventually beat them both. Recently I beat Wart with 40 lives left off gambling. My tenth and eleventh were Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy. I've beaten Super Paper Mario, but my brother is more interested in Super Mario Galaxy. And I have to admit, it does look cool. I've actually beaten it now. My twelfth was New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I've beaten it a few times, but my brother keeps throwing me into the lava.

Currently I have every mainstream Mario game (excluding the two prequels), that is of course until Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes out. After I looked up each game on this wiki in fact to place a timeline together, I got Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Super Mario World, and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars on my Wii. Later I got a DS and tried out Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, and when I enjoyed that game so much, I got Superstar Saga, and also got Super Mario Land, along with a Game Boy player for my GameCube. After that I got Donkey Kong 3 on the Wii and got New Super Mario Bros. I got Partners in Time next, and then New Super Mario Bros., Super Princess Peach, and Luigi's Mansion, all at once.

Favorite game
I dunno, but the Super Mario Bros. and Paper Mario series are cool.

Favorite feature of Mario games
Mushrooms? Beanstalks? Penguins? Cannons? I think the gambling is the coolest, most Mario games always reference gambling, usually in slot machines.

Favorite battle
The Shadow Sirens in the Palace of Shadow (Thousand-Year Door), and Super Dimentio in Super Paper Mario cause we finally get to kill him for what he did to Fracktail (and made us do to him).

Hardest battle
I'm not sure. I do sometimes have trouble throwing Bowser into the spike the third time when you fight him in the Sky on Super Mario 64, and it took me four tries to beat Shadow Queen (but after that, I had an easier time beating her on a second play-through, and a third, etc.). I can easily get around Huff N. Puff with the Stone Cap strategy, but I'll say Wendy O. Koopa from Super Mario Bros. 3 is the hardest cause of those energy orbs that are floating around, you can't jump on them and I usually get hit atleast twice. Lemmy is easier cause you can jump on the rubber balls he throws at you.

Favorite character
Hmmmm... I think it's a tie between Doopliss and Dimentio. Yes, I just expressed hatred toward Dimentio for making us kill Fracktail, but he is kinda cool, and I suppose he deserves a bit of credit in that he killed Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Luigi, something no other villain has ever done. I know Bowser has been killed on several occasions, but he always keeps coming back cause he's got infinite lives!

My other favorite characters are Luigi, Chuck Quizmo, and Tubba Blubba.

Favorite Minigame
On Mario Party 2. I like Hexagon Heat and Platform Peril. I also like the Battle Minigames, and had a heck of a time getting them in the Minigame Park (beat Minigame Coaster on hard).

Vegeta clone
I make a point of getting to and fighting the super-boss in the Paper Mario series. That's why I wanted to fight Bonetail, and on Tuesday, April 14th, I finally beat Wracktail. The only hard part was getting to him - once I fought him, Luigi's spring jump gave me a good head-jumping victory! By now, I've beaten both him and all 100 Sammer Guys twice.

Bonetail
I've beaten Bonetail a total of six times. The fourth time was when I was waiting for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to come out, because that day was drawing ever near when I beat the Shadow Queen. I've lost to Bonetail a grand total of 0 times. He's not that hard, cause I usually have full stats before fighting him, leveling off an Amazy Dayzee at Floor 99. He's easier than Shadow Queen in my opinion, even though his stats exceed hers.

How I fight Bonetail
I just keep Flurrie in front and use Power Lift, and have her use Lip Lock on Bonetail every turn. I never even need to use an Ultra Shroom or Jelly Ultra to beat him, but often I do need to use something like a Jammin Jelly to recover FP to keep using Lip Lock. The first time (and maybe the second time) Flurrie got killed, but all the times after that she survived the full battle.

The fourth time was really annoying, however, because half the audience (maybe more than half) were Dry Bones, and they never give me Star Power. So no matter how many Stylish Moves I do, I found it hard to recover my star power and keep using Power Lift to make Lip Lock counteract Bonetail's attacks (he does 8 damage and she does 6 damage, but usually with Power Lift this is reversed).

Yoshi
I used to hate Yoshi (not counting games like Paper Mario the Thousand-Year Door and Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, more like in competition games like Mario Kart), but that changed when my friend and I were trying to beat Tabuu on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and with the combined power of Pikachu and Yoshi we managed to beat him. He may be a self-seduction with a helicopter, island, and planet that looks like him but he's cool.

Paper Mario Thousand-Year Door - changes from original
Here is my opinions on the improvements and unimprovements of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

The Good

 * You can use the Action Command in the First Strike.
 * Vivian's Veil only cost 1 FP, as opposed to Bow's Outta Sight which cost 2 FP.
 * Dark Koopas aren't so tough.
 * You can do stylish moves. That is good for recovering star power.
 * You can do new attacks when you get the Super and Ultra Boots and Hammers.
 * Your HP and FP can exceed 50.
 * There are dragons in this game (No, Bowser is not a dragon)
 * Boos are enemies. They are quite tedious to fight, since they can turn invisible, and I liked the fact that they weren't enemies in the first Paper Mario, and you couldn't fight them.
 * There is an attack that you can use to kill an Amazy Dayzee.
 * Peach cannot get caught by Grodus's guards, as she can by Bowser's in the first Paper Mario
 * You get to play as BOWSER!!!

The Bad

 * You have to pay to heal (except in the Glitz Pit and Excess Express)
 * Koopas have 2 ATK points instead of 1
 * Bob-ombs have defense points
 * Bullet Bills and Bombshell Bills have defense points and only yield one Star Point each
 * Bill blasters can attack every turn, and sometimes shoot two at once, and sometimes in the air, virtually unattackable
 * That stupid status afflictor Confusion is added.
 * All Piranha Plants are considered spiked. In the first Paper Mario, only the regular Piranha Plants are spiked and the Putrid and Frost Piranhas are not, while they are in Thousand-Year Door.
 * Type advantages (ie: Ice or explosions on fire) do 1 extra damage, as opposed to 2.

The Ugly

 * You get the Boots before the Hammers
 * The main villain is not Bowser
 * The main villain is not the final boss
 * Star Spirit power requires action commands

Timeline
In my opinion, the Mario games all form one timeline. In many cases, a villain like Petey Piranha, King Boo, or the Koopalings can be revived by Bowser, as destroyed enemies return in Super Mario Galaxy, and Petey Piranha does in Super Mario Sunshine. This is my order for the timeline:


 * The prequels (Super Mario World 2 and Yoshi's Island DS)
 * The events of Partners in Time that take place in the past (seeing as there's Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Bowser, etc.)
 * 1) Donkey Kong
 * 2) Donkey Kong Jr.
 * 3) Donkey Kong 3
 * 4) Super Mario Bros.
 * 5) Super Mario Bros. 2
 * 6) Super Mario Bros. 3
 * 7) Super Mario Land
 * 8) Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
 * 9) Super Mario World
 * 10) Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
 * 11) Super Mario 64
 * 12) Paper Mario
 * 13) Luigi's Mansion
 * 14) Super Mario Sunshine
 * 15) Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
 * 16) Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
 * 17) Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
 * 18) Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
 * 19) Super Princess Peach
 * 20) New Super Mario Bros.
 * 21) Super Mario Galaxy
 * 22) New Super Mario Bros. Wii
 * 23) Super Paper Mario

You'll notice I stick each game system together. Also just because they were released first doesn't mean that was the order. Super Mario World came out between Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2, but the Super Mario Lands take place back to back and must be either before or after Super Mario World.

As for how Bowser returns after being crushed by his castle in NSMBW when Bowser Jr. (who presumably was reviving him all the time, like in New Super Mario Bros.) was also crushed, I don't know. Maybe he has infinite lives, and returns on his own, but then why did Bowser Jr. need to revive him in NSMB? Maybe unnamed Magikoopas brought him back to life. And on a side note, I speculate that Private Goomp, Sergeant Guy, and Corporal Paraplonk were among those captured by Bleck (what, did you see any Strikers get captured by Bleck? Yet they appeared) and warped to the Bitlands by Dimentio, and then were inside Bowser's lair when Mario blew it up. Of course Bowser is made of tougher stuff than them, but for the first time in a while, was defeated pretty easily afterwards...

My timeline has it so that Kamek, Bowser Jr., and the Koopalings all die in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and then Bowser turns good in Super Paper Mario, officially during the fight with O'Chunks, cause if you noticed, he still travels with Mario after you beat the game, after The Void is destroyed, unlike in Super Mario RPG, which has no endless play mode.

But that's just my thoughts... if you have any views of the timeline or that there are more than one timeline, post them on my talk page.
