User:Walkazo

Greetings. The name's Walkazo, as you may have guessed from this page's title. 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, the elder sister, Walkazo... 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 sence of all the Marioverse/timeline issues they've cooked up over the years. Unfortunatley, 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 truely be complete once I realize my dream of playing all the Mario games in existance (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; and a template with links to all the Koopa Species. Like my timeline, it's a work in progress.

I'm not nearly as active her eon the Super Mario Wiki as I'd like to be, thanks mostly to school; but partially because of my duties as a Bureucrat over on Userpedia. I mostly do gnomework, both here and there (why I was promoted for it is beyond me); most of the time I italicize stuff, fix spacing, or inject big, poshly words into articles. I also like sticking my nose in policy debates over here, mostly about Chronology and Canonicity; I find it fascinating.

Spritework
This is the second version of me and my brother's sprites. The Paratroopa sprites at the top of the page are Pantaro Paratroopa and the Dragon-Koopa at the bottom is me, Walkazo (the image is actually a simplified version of what my idea of Bowser's wife (who I call Bowselta, (as opposed to Clawdia)) looks like). I included alternative expressions for both me and PP as well as spritework of a Shroob laser and sprites of PP holding one (centre page). He also used a special effect from (I think) Max2's sprite sheet for the blue tornado, but he used outdated sideways-shell sprites (bad ones he made before I made good ones (the plain ones with the dirt poofs)). Finally, I also included sprites of my pet Shovelnose Catfish, Biggles (top left), and of my local Grackles (a species of North American Blackbird), who my family has been monitoring for the last four years (middle right). The animals are part of my character's special ability "Call of the Wild" in which I call either the flock of Grackles (or Biggles if I'm in the water) to attack my enemies.

This is yet another work in progress. I hope to include more sprites of Biggles (who, in reality, is only about a foot long, not giant like I have made him in my spritework), as well as some sprites of PP and I as our chameleon namesakes.

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:

Trivia

 * I beat (in my and PP's opinions) the hardest level of Super Mario Sunshine, Sirena Beach 6 on April Fools Day, leading Pantaro Paratroopa to believe I was just joking about it when I told him.
 * Both PP and I are named after lizards (Walkazo was a Veiled Chameleon and Pantaro was a Panther Chameleon); both of them died in my arms, which was rather poignant.
