User:Stooben Rooben

 Hello, fellow Wikians. My name is Stooben Rooben; I am a Sysop of the MarioWiki. This is my userpage; of course, the title of this page gives that away. I like video games, and Mario happens to be a series of video games, so naturally I like Mario games.

This stupid thing doesn't always work, but:

Rookies! My comic!

Epic Win


Thanks, Dom. :D

Mario Games I Have Owned
{{scroll box|content= I have owned many Mario games in my past. As a matter of fact, one of the first games I remember playing was a Mario game: Super Mario Bros. 3 on NES. I don't remember much about it back then... I don't even know if I played it; I may have just watched it! I remember that weird raccoon suit. That's actually all I remember about it. Many years later though, I borrowed it on Game Boy Advance and it totally refreshed my memory. There is one game that I do actually remember playing: Super Mario 64, perhaps the one of the most famous Mario games of all time! I bought it just recently on the DS, and it had many great additions to it (although I think that they could have crammed Waluigi in there as a playable character). I probably just bored you to death so I'll cut the jibber-jabber.

Favorite Characters
{{scroll box|content= In a period of over two decades, it would appear to the commoner that the Mario series does not have an end to its protagonists, antagonists, and other people and species...the commoner would be CORRECT! To narrow them all down to your favorites would be very difficult. I, however, have managed to do so!

Favorite Protagonists

 * Luigi: A shy and less popular character than his older brother makes Luigi somewhat "looked over". I think Luigi has a very important role as the younger brother: Would Mario have made it through half of his missions if not for Luigi? Would Mario have drowned in an Antarctic flood when he was missing if not for Luigi? Would Mario have ever escaped that haunted mansion if not for Luigi? Even in paper form, Luigi was off helping to rescue Princess Eclair. And Luigi plays a great asset (although he is also an enemy) in Super Paper Mario.


 * Yoshi (kid) (as seen in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door): Although Yoshi is my favorite character, this my favorite appearance of his! A young baby Yoshi which you rescued from its horrible Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness fate. It's small, comes in many different colors (of which blue, orange, and black are my favorites), carries you across small gaps, and is cocky! The little Yoshi rats out anything it doesn't approve of, and hates the bad guys. I love this little dude's attitude! Plus you can name it whatever you want (which is really gnarly)!


 * Goombella: A sassy character who speaks her mind. "Bald guys just don't do it for me" was something she said about a Bald Cleft that had me rolling around laughing. She mocks and hates bad guys, so she has a lot of common traits with the Yoshi (kid). That's probably why I like her.


 * Mario: Of course I have to have to most famous name in video game history on my list! Mario is almost always the hero and almost always has to rescue Princess Peach. His greatest foe (who he always seems to beat) is Bowser. I could go on and on about the great Mario, but what would be the point? Who doesn't already know about the one and only Mario?

Favorite Antagonists

 * Waluigi: Waluigi is perhaps one of the coolest protagonists of all time (especially in the Mario series). "Why" you may ask? Waluigi is Luigi to the maximum degree: ultra skinny and ultra tall, but he is ultra wicked! He has a menacing "Wah hah hah!" laugh, he is greedy and selfish much like Wario. He is a great addition to the Mario series and it upsetting that he isn't in more main games; I think he should have been in Super Mario 64 DS, in some Wario games, and maybe he should have his own game where he is the main player (that would be cool!)


 * Bowser Jr.: Bowser Jr. may be a spoiled and whiny little brat, but he's the son of Bowser, so that's coolness points right there. I like his personality and attitude, and he's a pretty cool little foe. I do think it's kinda cute (or maybe gross...) that he thinks Peach is his "mama".


 * Boo: I don't know why, but this dude just isn't scary to me at all... he's actually kind of cool. He's menacing, got a cool laugh, and an altogether classic antagonist. He's great as a difficult foe that can't be defeated in most games, and I like them being the main antagonists of Luigi's Mansion.


 * Bowser: Now if I didn't forget Mario as a favorite protagonist, did you really think I would forget Bowser as a favorite antagonist? Bowser is just as stupid as the next enemy, but is nonetheless Mario's greatest foe. Bowser has many sons and is king of the Koopas. He has many lackies, but always seems to be beaten one way or another. He has very rarely allied with Mario, but has always seemed to help him when he was in need. Bowser is the greatest video game foe of all time!

Game Ratings
Here are the ratings I give the Mario games I have played in the past. Feel free to use them to convince yourself to buy a Mario game or not!

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Thing
This is a little game I made. It's called "Lead-Foot-It for First". What you have to do is start a certain set time behind the other racers. For instance: You may have to wait 30 seconds before starting; what you're doing is giving your opponents a head start. You then have to beat them in the race by placing first. In order to perform this correctly, you must be proficient in drifting, a skilled weapon-user, know shortcuts, and of course, be the best driver. NOTE: This is not a required part of the game; it is merely a form of alternate entertainment I have created for the game.

Difficulties

Cool Future Mario Game Ideas
{{scroll box|content= I have thought of a couple of cool ideas for future Mario games. You may find them stupid, but hey, it's my page.

Paper Mario DS
Why not? YES! IT'S COMING OUT!

Paper Wario
There's Super Mario World and there's Wario World. There's Mario Land and there's Wario Land. If there's a Paper Mario then shouldn't there be a "Paper Wario"? I think it would be a cool concept. It'd be kind of ironic too: An obese dude in paper form! Waluigi could be like a partner or member of Wario's party, too!

Rhythm Games
Since there's a Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, I don't see why there couldn't be "Karaoke Revolution: Mario Mix" or "Guitar Hero: Mario Mix". It'd be funny to see and play, but it would fit into the theme, don't you think?

Waluigi on Wii
It could be a game where Waluigi is the main character to play as. I don't know what it would be about, but it could be called "Waluwiigi" or something. }}

Like, Thanks!
Thanks for checking out my page! I hope you found it both useful and funny. Please feel free to come back again, 'cause I'll be making some changes soon. So, bye!

Bye!

C'mon, bye already!

You must have nothing better to do.

Give it a rest!

Alright, so I had nothing better to do either.

(Sigh) You're still there arent you?

All right! Quit following me! You're like a creepy stalker! GOOD BYE!

No, I'm not really mad at you. Thanks for stopping by though! Take care!
