User:Leirin

Greetings, welcome to my User Page. I go by the name Leirin on the internet these days, although you can just call me Lei for short. As for what I do on this Wiki, well, I usually just fix grammar and spelling mistakes, add trivia, foreign names, or just generally polish things. This is the first time I've ever been on a Wiki, and so I'm still an amateur. However, I will be sure to do my best in all that I do.

If you couldn't already tell, Super Mario RPG is my favorite game of the Mario series, and possibly my favorite game of all time. I think it deserves more recognition and is often overlooked. Outside of Mario, I am also a huge Kirby fan; I also work on a fan site for the Kirby series, Kirby Dream. I enjoy the Zelda and MOTHER series a lot as well, and Smash Brothers is a natural favorite game franchise of mine too, being a Nintendo series crossover.

Right now, I am in the process of hunting down Super Mario-kun manga, because there is a Japanese bookstore not too far from where I live that I know has some. The reason why I didn't purchase any at the time, was because I had already spent all my money on Kirby manga. I bought, like, ten volumes of it. In fact, my highest Mario-related priority right now would be to find the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Mario 64 books for the sake of this Wiki and its Super Mario-kun page.

...In any case, enjoy your stay.

The 'Shroom
I'm also a writer for The 'Shroom--I do the monthly non-Mario reviews. Here are the reviews I have released so far:


 * The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - March 2009 (Score: 10/10)
 * MOTHER3 - April 2009 (Score: 9.7/10)

Not sure what to review next. Maybe the original MOTHER? Pikmin? Who knows!

Favorite Mario Characters
These are my favorite characters from the Marioverse (in no particular order).

Other Favorite Characters
Favorite characters from other video game series. This section doesn't contain images.


 * Kirby: The puffy pink hero of Dream Land! I have been obsessed with his games and the series since I was four years old. I gotta say it's one of my favorites, so I have a lot of respect for him.
 * Ado/Adeleine: An artist that was a boss in Kirby's Dream Land 3, but she's good. She also appeared in Kirby 64 a few years later. I love her because she's artistic. Strangely enough, she looks a lot like me...
 * Toon Link: My favorite Link also hails from my favorite Zelda game, The Wind Waker! This dude is cute and feisty.
 * Princess Kumatora: From MOTHER3. She's a radical princess who really packs a punch with her potent PSI. PK Starstorm and PK Ground are the best ones!!
 * Lucas: C'mon, you gotta love this kid after everything he's been through.
 * Tetra: Oh Tetra, we wanted to see you in Brawl. Tetra-Zelda is just so spunky. She first seems like a brat, but has a soft side too.

Favorite Songs
I like pretty much all Nintendo music, which is another reason why I like Smash Brothers so much: the exiting new mixes of songs from throughout Nintendo's history. As for Mario music, I really like anything nostalgic, so I'll go with the famous tunes. Galaxy had a beautiful soundtrack (plus I'm a sucker for orchestra) and I love all Mario RPG game soundtracks, but I think SMRPG is the most timeless of them by far.

MOTHER3 has astounding music, a lot of which is touching or just matches the mood perfectly. Plus, there's like 200+ songs! (granted some of them are duplicates, but oh well.) I love Kirby music of all kinds, Super Star is my favorite. Zelda music continues to blow me away, having some of my favorite soundtracks; like Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker.

And much more, which I think I'm forgetting.

Interview a Mario Partner!
This used to be a monthly section where I "interview" one of Mario's partners in the RPG games. Unfortunately, it's been delayed, not cancelled, but not active at the moment, due to real life happenings and whatnot. Although you can still view the first edition if you like:

Issue one: Mallow
