I am a big fan of the Mario series, a male teenage user, and a rookie. I have been a fan since 2008, when I played my first video game ever, Mario Kart DS, a game I still consider to be one of the best in its series. I have also played Mario Kart Wii, 7, and 8, and I regularly follow news of the Mario franchise to this day. It was on this website and many others that I learned who the famous red-capped plumber and his brother was, as when I saw the character selection screen for the first time when I played Mario Kart DS, I had absolutely no idea who the strange-looking characters were. I saw two men in overalls who looked almost the exact same, except one was green, and one was red. I saw a green dinosaur who looked somewhat small for his species, and I saw a huge dinosaur who had a huge spiked shell on his back and who looked like the man you would not mess with if your life depended on it, and who I assumed was the green dinosaur's counterpart. I saw a giant ape and a skeleton who looked like he shouldn't be standing. I saw a fat man who looked like he had eaten too many pizzas and had nothing to do with anybody else in the roster. It was on this website and many others that I truly learned about the Mario Bros and their buddies, and the story of the Mario franchise. And over time, I came to know an encyclopedia's worth of the franchise, and I became a die-hard fan as I played games like New Super Mario Bros., Mario & Luigi, and Mario Party. I came to have a blast of fun playing them, and I still do love playing them to this day and onwards.

Most recently, I beat Mario Kart 7, a game I've logged more than 100 hours of gameplay on. I got triple-star rankings on all cups, especially the 150cc and Mirror classes, where most people believe the real race and test of Mario Kart is. My favorite combination is Luigi with the B-Dasher and the Paraglider. It has been my best combination, and it is extremely invaluable. Also, I am one of the people who actually enjoyed Mario Party 9, a game that some Mario Party fans despise, due to the car system and overall gameplay, which I actually enjoyed and loved playing. I thought there was nothing truly wrong with the gameplay, except for not having minigames at the end of each turn. I would've really liked that, because its absence makes the chance of playing a minigame much lower. Don't get me wrong, I still take the traditional gameplay over the car gameplay, but I still think Mario Party 9 is a game worth really playing.

I have played all of the different sub-series in the Mario franchise, and I have ranked each of the games from worst to best. I'm currently excited for Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, as a classic relegated to the Game Boy Advance and Virtual Console releases and loved by tons of fans in the Mario franchise makes its return better than before. After the disappointment of Paper Mario: Sticker Star and a more optimistic and better, but not-good-enough sequel, Paper Mario: Color Splash, I wondered if any of the classic Mario RPGs would ever return. And with this awesome remake of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga made by AlphaDream, I think they have.

Currently, I have a YouTube channel, lcrossmk8, but it's not active right now. Hell, I don't actually have anything there right now, so I don't think you'd want to check it out right now unless you want to know my subscriptions. But I'll try to get some content on there if I ever get the chance. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to be a real YouTube video game LPer like many others have.
