  These people, →   Should all comment on this page on my talk page!

Hey, welcome to my User Page, feel free to comment on it on my Talk Page.

=About Me= My name, if you haven't guessed, is Tim. I'm 15 and live in Australia. My other hobbies besides playing Mario games include, Dragon Ball, Pokemon, Red Dwarf and listening to the music of; The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones and others. =Me & Mario= I remember going on holiday to the beach one Easter when I was 6 (April 2000 to be exact). My cousins went with me and one of them brought along her 64. She had most of Mario's games on it (Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Bros, Mario party 1 and 2, Mario Golf alond with some other non-Mario games.). I remeber learning about Mario and all the characters in the series. I remeber SSB well as it featured Pikachu and Jigglypuff, as I liked Pokemon back then (I still do).

Later that year, my next door neighbour lent me his Super Nintendo for a couple of weeks. He had Super Mario Kart and a caveman game that escapes my memory. I remember pondering why it was so 'super' if it came before the 64, I also noticed the difference between the two Mario Kart games and how SMK seemed to be covered in lego bricks.

Come Christmas 2000 both one of my other cousins and I recieved 64s. We both got Mario Kart 64 while my cousin got Diddy Kong Racing and a second controller and I got Banjo Kazooie. Eventually I got a second controller. By Christmas 2001 I had Pokemon Stadium as well. By this point I also had a GBA with Warioland 4 and a GBC Lonney Tunes game.

By Christmas 2004 I had many more 64 and GBA games, but only a few Mario ones; Super Mario Advance and Mario Kart Super Circuit. After that, I didn't get any more Mario games for quite some time.

At the end of 2007, I got a Wii. I got Mario Party 8 for Christmas that year and Mario Kart, Super Mario Galaxy(One of the greatest games ever!) and SSBB soon followed. At the same time, I got a DS with Mario Kart, Mario and Luigi, New Super Mario Bros, Yoshi's Island and Super Princess Peach. I also bought Super Mario Sunshine and SSBM for the Wii, along with a Gamecube controller. =My Thoughts= My favourite characters are Waluigi(An oddball with a vanity problem, how can you go wrong?), Wario(A greedy fat man is a sure fire hit in my books.), Lanky Kong(An underdeveloped anthropomorphic orangutan, pure genius!) and Koopas.

My favourite console is the Wii. I like the motion sensor technology in some places, like in SMG and Wii Music, but don't care for full-on motion-control games like Wii Sports. Hence, Mario Party 8 is one of my favourites as it features standard Mario Party games and ones with minimal motion-control.

My second favourite console is the DS, it has great games and you can also play GBA games on it. Like the Wii, I enjoy games with little or no touch-screen controls.

I like the 64 but feel that it's dated in 21st Century life. The games are ok, but the graphics are somewhat lackluster these days. The controls are clunk too (Not that Super Mario 64 DS fixed that though, it's a horrid game.).

On the Wiki, my main contributions are in polls and featured images, although I sometimes fix up articles if I feel like it.



=A list of Mario Games I have played (Not Including Remakes)= In No Particular Order

Games I have finished in bold.
 * Donkey Kong- Nice game, ahead of its time.
 * Donkey Kong Jr.- Not as good as the original.
 * Dr Mario- A good example of how a puzzle game should be.
 * Mario Bros- Not as good as Donkey Kong.
 * Super Mario Bros- Still golden in this day and age.
 * Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels- Just as good as the original.
 * Super Mario Bros 2- Good despite the reviews.
 * Super Mario Bros 3- Improved on SMB, very well.
 * Donkey Kong Country- Good graphics and fun to play.
 * Donkey Kong Country 2- Not as good as the first.
 * Donkey Kong Country 3- As good as the first.
 * Mario Paint- Lovely and artistic, like the music making mode.
 * Super Mario Kart- Good graphics and tracks.
 * Super Mario RPG- Not as good as the Mario & Luigi games.
 * Super Mario World- The best 2D Mario game.
 * Super Mario World 2- Good but not as good as the original. Good graphics though.
 * Tetris Attack- Addictive and fun, better than Dr Mario.
 * Donkey Kong 64- loved the multiple character concept.
 * Diddy Kong Racing- Better than Mario Kart 64 and even better on DS.
 * Mario Golf- Ok, but not Mario enough (No gimmicks and one-shot human characters).
 * Mario Tennis- Better than Mario Golf.
 * Mario Kart 64- First Mario game I played (From memory). Lackluster compared to later games though.

 * Mario Party 2- See above.
 * Mario Party 3- There's a pattern emerging here.
 * Paper Mario- See SMRPG.
 * Super Smash Bros- Good, but not as good as its successors.
 * Super Mario 64- Clunky, but revolutionary. The remake was rubbish.
 * Yoshi's Story- Weird, but ok.
 * Mario Kart Double Dash- Enjoyed the two-man kart idea, a step up on 64.
 * Super Mario Sunshine(Haven't got all Shine Sprites yet)- Fun game, great levels and characters. Better than SM64.
 * Super Smash Bros Melee (Have all characters/levels)- Better than the original.

 * Mario Tennis: Power Tour- same as MGTT.
 * Mario Kart Wii- The best Mario Kart game.
 * Mario Party 8- Finally, a Mario Party game with some diversity.
 * Super Mario Galaxy (120 stars with Mario, 7 with Luigi)- Best 3D Platformer ever! Love the gravity.

 * Super Mario Land- Crap in a cartridge.
 * Super Mario Land 2- On par with SMB.
 * Wario Land 4- First GBA game I got, brilliant levels/music/graphics.
 * Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga- Better than Paper Mario.
 * Mario Kart: Super Circuit- As good as SMK.
 * Mario Hoops 3-on-3- Ok, but not as good as Golf/Tennis for 64.

 * Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time- Better than Superstar Saga.
 * New Super Mario Bros- Not as good as SMW.
 * Super Princess Peach- Different and fun.
 * Yoshi's Island DS- On par with the original

Wow, that's 49 games!

=Fake Games= After reading the Fake Game section of the Fake News segment in the Shroom, I though up two of my own fake titles. I sent them to Hyper Guy, the writer of the Fake Game section and soon after, I thought up several more ideas, so I decided to put them here for your enjoyment.

ps. I'll make more when I think of them.

My Fake Games

 * 1) - Super Mario Knitting. Mario and Friends (And enemies [and one-shot characters that should've never appeared again{And Characters from other timelines((And new characters created especially for this game that'll never make it into the main series))}]) compete against each other in mad knitting madness. Using the Wii remote and the nunchuck, duke it out with Mario and co. and learn to make jumpers along the way. Fun for the whole family (Minus the male side)
 * 2) - Run, Yoshi, Run. After allegeations of peadophilia against the star children, angry soccer mums chase Yoshi. Use the Wii remote and nunchuck to make Yoshi run until you grow bored and the soccer mums catch him and have dinosaur tail for tea.
 * 3) - Dr. Bowser. Unlike Dr. Mario, who is a kind-hearted doctor out to find a cure for the common cold (Good luck!), Dr. Bowser represents a true doctor, a mean one. He's the kind of GP who'd give you Mad Cow Disease vaccinations even though he knows you're a vegetarian, just to watch you cry! In the same vein as Grand Theft Auto and The Sims, you play an anti-hero whose aim to seek and annoy. Make life a misery for the unlucky occupants of the Mushroom Kingdom as you give them shots and reward them with stale lollies!
 * 4) -Mario and Sonic at the Commonwealth Games In their latest attempt at creating a game centred around a shoddy, seldom remebered sporting festival, after the Winter Olympics, the boffins at Sega have created this little number. You control a Shy Guy, a Fire bro, a Noki, Waluigi, a Chao, Charmy Bee, Froggy and one of those crab thingeys from Sonic the Hedgehog in a number of activities (Just like the real Commonwealth games, most of the main competetors are missing). And then there's the dream events. This time around, you can challenge yourself in the .5m Dream Diving, Sahara Desert Slalom and the table table tennis (Played with ball bearing and a jar-lid attached to a popstick) Price- Your credibility.
 * 5) - Roly Poly Plumber In a similar vein to Yoshi Topsy-Turvy, You tilt your Wii-remote to make Wario roll everywhere as an incentive to make him loose weight. (Also availible; Wario the Pinball and It's a Zorb Ball, It's a testicle, It's Wario)

=The Future= As time goes on I hope to get more Mario games and more consoles to play them on.
