User:Mario

Hi, I'm Mario! I was created in 1981 in Donkey Kong by this nice Shigeru guy, and I was called Jumpman. Jumping over barrels actually pretty fun, except when my jump is botched... ah well. It's not that much different than from what I do today, which I jump over lava, convince Wanda to kill Wario, create a Star Bank to stop the fight between Brighton and Twila, and maybe jump over some pipes? I guess? Oh, they're all hazardous jobs, trust me. In my spare time, I just sit around and start scraping rocks and building some demonic toys. Plumbing? What made you think I'm a plumber? My dashing mustache? My plumbic filled brain?

I am not a killer
I have a brother who I love very much. I know some of you watched that video that somehow "explains" that I'm a sadistic, abusive, psychopath. I am not. I do not mistreat my brother. For instance, there was this one time where Luigi won 1st place, and I said, "Hey Luigi, what kind of rotten deed did you do achieve this?" while Luigi often comments, "Did you go on a diet to further gain weight?", and we both laughed about it. We call each other names all the time, so to an outsider, I look like a jerk. To us, it's endearment, and it's what close friends and siblings do all the time.

The brick blocks I break (while Toads were transformed into brick blocks) doesn't mean I kill Toads. It's actually just a vague way of saying Toad beings are trapped in brick blocks. Breaking blocks frees the Toad beings, but I have to restore them completely by saving Princess Peach. If I don't break the blocks, the Toads will be restored, but trapped in the blocks. I can hear them calling for help sometimes. In the end, though, no Toads are forgotten, and no Toads are hurt.

Yoshi actually does not mind when I ditch him for a higher jump. Remember, in Super Mario Galaxy 2, Yoshi becomes in Egg form and teleports if he runs off. Same thing happens in Super Mario World, but in offscreen, and Yoshi retreats to one of the many unbroken blocks. There will always be unbroken blocks since they respawn VERY quickly. Yoshi also doesn't mind that I ditch him because he knows I'm doing everything I can to advance Mushroom Kingdom's cause, even if it means ditching him.

This also applies to enemies. I'm just doing my job. I am also not killing enemies either. The Goombas and Koopas knocked away are that: knocked away. Think of a cartoon. They're injured and stunned, yes, but not fatally. The Piranha Plants I "decapitate" can actually regrow their bodies within a few days. When enemies poof from being "defeated", they will eventually materialize and they are ready to go... again. Lava also doesn't hurt as much as you think. Lava properties are much different in the Mario verse, hence why nobody scorches for being close to it. I can explain it to you, but your brain will go nuts.

So there, I explained everything. Now, please reconsider me and stop believing rumors.

Friends
You know who you are. Either way, check my talk page and figure it out yourself.

Stuff I Do
Aside from killing Wario, Donkey Kong, and Ganondork, what do I do here? Mostly, I make minor edits and stuff. I usually respond to mainspace talk page messages, unless I don't know the subject; I really hate it if people don't respond to my messages on mainspace talk pages. I'll try not to make people feel the same way.

I'm not a very talkative person, so my talk pages tend to be pretty small, unless it's my sister continuously putting up Wario messages.

I upload pictures I ripped or taken via Dolphin Emulator. I also use other emulators to take screenshots of games, mainly Mario Party. If there is a huge amount of Mario Party minigame pictures with Daisy, Waluigi, and Wario, blame it on my sister or me.

I am also a self-proclaimed grammar Nazi. Yes, this page may be riddled with errors, but yes, every grammar Nazi makes mistakes. And yes, we can overlook mistakes as well.

My Plans

 * Cut words and fix every grammar or usage error I see.
 * Improve the Mario article. Featuring it is a goal... but I don't know how much more it needs to go before I consider nominating it.
 * Look for ways to make the wiki better.
 * Check which articles are nominated to be featured or unfeatured so I can react accordingly. This also applies to new proposals. I'm always looking forward to a new proposal or article nomination!
 * Add sprites for characters, especially Mario. If not, add transparency where it is feasible. And yes, the transparency I add is actually good enough for game-art, but official art with default transparency is the best. And I don't where to look for official art.
 * Check the recent changes regularly.
 * Help other users. I am open to coding questions and how-tos, so don't hesitate to ask.
 * Improve all the Diddy Kong Racing course articles. I've even created a collaboration topic concerning this, so don't hesitate to help if you can. For now, I'll set this aside.
 * Super Mario-Kun related stuff. This wiki barely scratches Super Mario-Kun, although it contains so much things pertaining to the Mario games! I'm surprised that there is so much stuff that we haven't even seen yet. And besides, who doesn't like seeing Mario, Wario, Luigi, Yoshi, Toad, Princess Peach, Bowser, Goomba, Shy Guy, Fawful, Waluigi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Princess Shokora, Cractus, Tayce T., Funky Kong, Millennium Star, Eldstar, Goombario, Wanda, King Boo, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Koopa Troopa, Robirdo, Birdo, Rosalina, Luma, General Guy, Tumble, Klepto, Bowser Jr., and all the rest get the Super Mario-Kun cutesy treatment?
 * Not be a policy whore.
 * Finally, upload pictures of Wario in misery so people in public can see everyone having a great time!

Luigi's Mansion
For my own convenience, here is what the Luigi's Mansion article should be required to have, or it should have it to be the difference between a good and a great article:


 * Interactable objects with the Game Boy Horror (mirrors, mouse holes, cheese).
 * A complete section of the Game Boy Horror and its functions.
 * A table listing each enemy, with a short description and small image
 * A table listing Mario's items and their locations. Flavor text upon finding the item is encouraged but not really needed.
 * A table listing miscellaneous objects that don't quite fit with others, such as Poison Mushrooms, Hearts, and Cheese. Other objects, including treasure chests and keys, should also be included.
 * A better controls section, listing what each button does rather than lumping the thing into one paragraph.
 * An expanded reception section.

This list may not be complete nor definitive and may be subject to change.

Mario
It's not about me, it's about the article. Here's what the article should have before it can be featured.


 * Games and other media making a mere mention in "Other appearances" that should get their own section in the History section. This section also needs a link to the page detailing about references about Mario himself. Media required:
 * Mario's Picross
 * Mario Paint
 * Super Mario-Kun
 * Famicon Grand Prix games.
 * NBA Street V3 and other related games.
 * Dr. Mario games. If Yoshi's Island can get its own subsection, then Dr. Mario can.
 * Yoshi series games including Yoshi's Cookie and Yoshi.
 * Cameos from Kirby, Super Mario Land 3, Donkey Kong Country
 * Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros.
 * Mario Ice Capades
 * White Knuckle Scorin'
 * Club Nintendo comics
 * Super Mario Adventures
 * Nintendo Adventure Books
 * Nintendo Comics System
 * Trivia section can have some entrees moved.
 * Some sections have too much images. This is easily fixed.
 * Some sections are also large. If they can be shortened, then they should.

This list may not be complete nor definitive and may be subject to change.

And here are some opinions I have related to this article.


 * While the personality section may seem bloated as it is, every aspect of that section is required; therefore, nothing can be majorly trimmed. Mario, unlike Link and other silent protagonists, is not a true silent protagonist. He is not a complete template, as he is consistently shown to be more aggressive than, say, Luigi. His lack of talking can bolster the claim that Mario is underdeveloped, so the paragraphs are needed. When Mario actually talks, however, it's a striking exception that needs mentioning. Since Mario spans not just from literally hundreds of games, but also books and comics, his personality section is bound to be naturally big from his large history, not from the complexity of his personality.
 * The differences of looks between N64 and post-Luigi's Mansion may sound silly, but the transition from the N64 to the Gamecube is a quite big leap, with in-game models actually resembling the artwork. Afterward, from Gamecube-Wii U, the models are simply refined and more detailed rather than transitioning from a bunch of blocks to something much more sophisticated. Many characters have also received an overhaul in terms of artwork. N64 artwork is simplistic and less defined. There is a very visible difference between artwork from Mario Party 3 and Mario Party 4, so I think this difference needs to be noted. If you have a side-by-side comparison, Mario from N64 indeed looks very different. In fact, Super Smash Bros. Melee, an early Gamecube game, depicted Mario more as his N64 version than his Gamecube version.
 * Unlike the Bowser article, the Mario article keeps its story-heavy sections short, not wide, overbearing synopsizes that qualify as full-length articles within an article. The biggest problem Mario has, however, is covering the obscure, yet accessible media such as Club Nintendo, Super Mario Adventures, and White Knuckle Scorin'. This, I will address shortly, but if I get the spare time to load and edit the article.
 * I will try not to be protective of this article, but if I am, please tell me (politely).

King Fawful's questions and LeftyGreenMario's answers
Retrieved from LeftyGreenMario.

Q1: Have you ever tasted mustard of doom?
 * Yes, and it's so spicy, my eyes popped away. I'm blind now.

Q2: You have been kidnapped by Professor E. Gadd! what do you do?
 * I'd trick him by giving him a DVD of the Garbage Pail Kids. When the hideousness of the movie deeply engrosses him, I quietly sneak out.

Q3: Are you a lefty?
 * Duh.

Q4: Are you green?
 * I have a fair complexion, so no, I'm not green.

Q5: Are you Mario?
 * Dang I wish. Even if I did have to go through a gender change.

Q6: I need to poop, but i'm not finished writing this! what should i do?
 * Ask the next question. Isn't that obvious?

Q7: I just went. it felt good.
 * See?

Q8: Do you like waffles?
 * Yup. I like purple waffles the most, though, because they remind me of purple pizza with heavy syrup on top.

Q9: Do you like pancakes?
 * I like crêpe more.

Q10: Do you like french toast?
 * If I'm sharing them with Mario, then yes. Otherwise, I prefer purple waffles.

And thus, my chase for Wario extermination continues.
