Hi! I like Super Mario.

I think the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series is full of underrated classics that deserve more love. I enjoy games throughout the Mario franchise in general, though.

My favorite Mario character by far is Wario. Aside from Wario, my other favorite character is Donkey Kong. It would be Funky Kong, who is unequivocally more bodacious and potentially even more powerful, but Donkey Kong's storied legacy since the very first Mario game and his incredible variety of appearances across more than 40 years of Mario mean that I find Donkey Kong more interesting as a whole.

Wario appreciation piece
{| cellspacing=0 cellpadding=4 style="background:none; border-spacing: 0 1px;" class=test Wario is the ultimate of the Mario universe. Unlike Mario, who has nearly no personality to speak of, Wario has a multitude of traits that others might call character flaws, which he recognizes and deliberately uses to his advantage. His lack of hygiene is a force to be reckoned with. Despite supposedly having a face revolting enough to scare even ghosts, one of his best friends is attracted to him; not to mention, he has his [[Media:WL4 - Flashback Bonus 3.png|pick of the lot]]. He weighs over 300 pounds, but they might as well be 300 pounds of muscle, considering his consistent ability to duke it out with Bowser and Donkey Kong in terms of raw power. He can easily perform physical feats on a level that Mario could only dream of with a power-up. His childhood resentment has only driven him to make great advancements in kingdom-conquering, discover an extra-dimensional portal on his whim, save an entire world merely by accident, cross the bounds between fiction and reality, and claim what he rightfully deserves - time and time again. As a result, he's become overwhelmingly successful, with a flourishing game company and countless priceless treasures to his name. Clearly, Wario hasn't let Mario break his spirit, as his self-esteem [[Media:Welcometogreedvilletitle.png|knows]] [[Media:WWGIT Body-Builder Statue.png|no]] [[Media:MK8 DS Wario Stadium Course Icon.png|bounds]], and when he's not having extravagant adventures, he has a hobby in art - he can be an excellent artist, [[Media:Wario Portraits.png|when he wants to]]. Because he embraces his imperfections and becomes a better person not in spite of, but because of them, Wario is the shining example of what it means to be human. Oh, and he's also immortal and has made a [[Media:Abigor-3-.jpg|deal with the devil]].

Wario article
Here's what I have to do before the Wario article is good enough to be featured:


 * Remove red links from Virtual Boy Wario Land section
 * Write in more detail about appearances in Virtual Boy Wario Land and Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games to remove the stub templates from their sections
 * Add more images (ideally, every section should have one image of Wario, but this varies depending on the size of the section)
 * Document any and all appearances of Wario, including (but not limited to):
 * Wario's Whack Attack
 * Welcome to Greedville
 * Warioland 4 (book)
 * WarioWare Twisted Marble Maze Game
 * Mario Clash
 * Picross NP
 * Donkey Konga and Donkey Konga 2 cameos
 * Yakuman DS
 * Itadaki Street series (Itadaki Street DS and Fortune Street)
 * Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
 * Mario in Real Time ("You want fun? Wario show you fun!")
 * Wario Press Conference (and his being mentioned by Mario in the Mario Press Conference)
 * Game & Wario Crowdfarter commercial
 * 2004 NMI Safety Video
 * Wario animatronic used for
 * Play Nintendo, Nintendo Kids Club, and Nintendo Kids Space games and activities
 * Super Mario (Kodansha manga)
 * Super Mario Ehon
 * Otenba Peach-hime
 * Nintendo DREAM drawings by Nintendo staff
 * Nintendo of America's Twitter twerking tease
 * Super Mario card games (Nintendo UNO, UNO Super Mario, Club Nintendo Hanafuda


 * Trim some sections to be more succinct instead of complete plot summaries, including (but not limited to):
 * WarioWare Gold
 * WarioWare: Get It Together!
 * Mario in Real Time (the detailed summary could go on that subject's article)
 * Sort "Other appearances and references" section to be in chronological order
 * Rigorously go over each and every section to ensure they are written to the highest professional standard
 * The nitty gritty:
 * In what way does Wario appear in Donkey Konga?
 * What events lead to Wario holding a gun in the Kodansha manga, and which issue does this panel appear in?
 * What are Wario's specific roles in the Super Mario Ehon picture books?
 * Which images look best in the "Other appearances and references" section? (Try to limit low-quality images and nightmare fuel.)
 * Play Pilotwings 64 to take high-quality screenshots of the Mario and Wario Mount Rushmore heads
 * Perform a deep scan of the Internet for any and all other official online content featuring Wario I may have missed
 * Ideally, pull a Nick Robinson and go on a quest to find the voice actors for Wario in Welcome to Greedville, the 2004 NMI Safety Video, and the Wario animatronic (although this might be a tad too ambitious)

Note that this list may not be comprehensive, and is subject to change.
