Overview
Hey, comrades!😊 I am MarioManiac1981 (my real name is Leon Samdani), and I'm obviously a nerd when it comes to the Mario franchise (as well as other Nintendo games, and video games in general). My favorite Mario characters are Bowser, Bowser Jr., Mario, Luigi, Toad, Toadette, Dry Bones, King Boo, Shy Guy, Lakitu, Professor E. Gadd, Yoshi, and Diddy Kong. My favorite Mario subseries are Paper Mario, Mario Kart, Super Mario, Donkey Kong Country, and Mario & Luigi. I also enjoy crossover series such as Mario & Sonic and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle , as well as standalone titles like Super Mario RPG: Legend Of The Seven Stars. My favorite video game franchises other than Mario are: The Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Super Smash Bros., Pokémon, ', ', ', and '. I also find enjoyment in ', ', ', ', ', ', , and various Marvel franchises. I don't have specific plans for what I'll do next on the Super Mario Wiki, but I'll get editing with more articles (or even create entirely new ones). I was once part of, and I enjoy technical details a lot. If you notice a certain style I have when writing on the Super Mario Wiki, feel free to point that out!

My Opinions Of The Mario Games I've Played
All of the Mario games I've played were excellent, as is expected from the overall Mario franchise. In particular, I absolutely LOVE New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Galaxy 1-2, New Super Mario Bros. U, Super Mario Odyssey, Paper Mario, and Super Paper Mario. These are the greatest Mario games of all time in my opinion, and they deserve to remembered for decades to come. The first Super Mario Galaxy has an awesome storyline, soundtrack, and gameplay features; the sequel also has a great soundtrack and gameplay features, such as the addition of Yoshi and his own power-ups, but the story is quite lacking; New Super Mario Bros. Wii and its sequel both have great music, a wide variety of power-ups and enemies, the level design is quite flawless, and the gameplay is nostalgic; Super Mario Odyssey has a cool storyline, amazing graphics, great soundtrack, epic gameplay, and terrific secrets and characters that make the game flavorful; Mario Kart Wii is a plain good classic; MK8 has amazing graphics, soundtrack, courses, and character roster, but the Battle Mode is flawed; MK8 Deluxe retains the Wii U version's pros, but it revamps the Battle Mode into five epic variants, makes all DLC characters part of the base game, leaves Gold Mario as the only unlockable character, slightly improves the graphics, and adds a few more items and characters. Paper Mario is a classic that I can't forget, because the music is epic, the character roster is colorful, the graphics are surprisingly good, the storyline is great, and the gameplay is good; Super Mario RPG is also great in these respects, but its storyline has a greater level of complexity. Super Paper Mario is far better than both games combined, because of these reasons: the graphics are improved, gameplay is more nostalgic, the dialogue is funnier, the storyline is deeper and darker, the music is awesome, and the characters have a greater air of complexity to them. I especially like the way that Luigi is given a far greater role than in any other Mario game ever played, not counting Mario is Missing! and Luigi's Mansion; here, Luigi is the true prodigy who decides the fate of the universe, while Mario, Peach, and Bowser are just protagonists that are there to keep the game entertaining.

All in all, Mario games are the greatest games that most people will be able to play in their lifetime, sooooo.... CONTINUE PLAYING MARIO GAMES!!!

Trivia

 * The last part of my username is a reference to the release date of the first Mario game in existence.
 * So far, I've only played every odd Super Smash Bros. game, which are Super Smash Bros. 64, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the first, third, and fifth installments in the series. I haven't played Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, the second and fourth installments in the series.
 * I actually planned on joining the Super Mario Wiki back in August, 2017, but I didn't do it, because of my young age and fear of complications (though I now realize that putting in my e-mail address is optional).
 * I do not have Korean lineage, but since I'm learning the language, I have some level of proficiency in Korean.
