*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. | *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 article was [http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Featured_Articles/N1/Mario nominated] to be featured at one point (check the [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mario&oldid=704401 quality of the article at the time; it's really bad; pardon for the italics throughout the article, but '''some''' people back then had no clue how to close italics]), but I can safely say that its only remaining problem is coverage, which I'm dutifully doing here and there.

;Gems from that old revision: | |||
*"Despite his lengthy history, Mario is, in many ways, an undeveloped character, with many details of his accepted biography having been created through complex lore spawned from the imaginations of comic book artists, cartoon writers, and fans." | |||
*"Mario has also appeared in Tomytec's Dots." (that was a trivia entry) | |||
*"In the recent games, Mario's colors are lighter than his colors in 2002 to 2006." | |||
*"However, Kamek, fearing the Star Children would ruin the plans of the Koopa Troop, attacked the stork and managed to kidnap Luigi but left Mario to plummet towards Yoshi's Island in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. By chance, Yoshi was walking below and cushioned Mario's fall. Confused at the baby's presence, Yoshi consulted his fellow Yoshis and they worked out a plan to trek across the island in an effort to save Luigi and return the babies to their parents." | |||
*"These events formed the premise for Yoshi Touch & Go. How the events of the video game factor into the story is unconfirmed. These events formed the premise for Yoshi Touch & Go. How the events of the video game factor into the story is unconfirmed. (next paragraph) In "Plumbers Academy," Mario claimed that he was born with a plunger in his hand. Luigi stated that it was hard on their mother. Mario proved to be a hassle for his parents, as described in "Family Album "The Early Years"." Among the issues his parents had with him, Mario once broke the sink with a wrench while his mother was giving him a bath. Mario's hair grew out to its adult length very quickly. (WTF does this have to do with ''Yoshi Touch & Go!?) | |||
*"Later in Mario's early life, after he had outgrown his diaper, he and his brother came to know Baby Peach. The three became good friends and playmates." (Yoshi's Island DS never happened!?) | |||
*"The extraterrestrials made an assault on Princess Peach's Castle." | |||
*Then it has some random ass section called "Growing up in Brooklyn". Is this some fanon speculation that's supposed to fill in between Yoshi's Island and the Mario cartoons? Wow... I haven't even realized how terrible MarioWiki was at the time, and I didn't even notice! | |||
*"Abandoning carpentry and leaving Donkey Kong to his own devices, Mario entered the plumbing business with Luigi and formed Mario Brothers Plumbing as revealed in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show." Again, wtf!? | |||
*"The Mario Bros. found the Mushroom Kingdom in a state of despair in Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. Special. Koopa Troop soldiers, such as Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and Hammer Bros. patrolled the streets and immediately began to attack them." (Streets!? There are no "streets" in ''Super Mario Bros.''!) | |||
*"However, the brothers were unable to restore Peach to her throne according to The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!!" (This is in the ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' section!) | |||
*"Mario and Luigi met with their toughest challenges yet. Bowser had prepared an expansive, modern military, complete with tanks, airships, and ships capable of withstanding the lava that flowed throughout the world." | |||
*"Mario had to brandish his infamous Hammer during the events of Wrecking Crew '98." | |||
*"Using his new tail-tossing skill he hurled Bowser into a spiked bomb and ended his terrible reign." XD XD XD | |||
*"After Luigi saved him from the painting he was imprisoned in by King Boo, Mario took a well deserved vacation with Peach and Toadsworth during the events of Super Mario Sunshine." | |||
*"Mario & Luigi are back again in their latest appearance, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story!" | |||
*"Bowser follows Dark Star to a tower top, and an epic battle begins!" | |||
*'''Spin-offs''' is separated from everything else. That wasn't such a bright idea. | |||
*"Mario has even ventured onto the world of basketball in Mario Hoops 3 on 3. Fortunately, Mario was a successful basketball player as he had a extraordinary jumping ability." | |||
*"Mario seems to not be bothered by certain temperature levels, even in volcanoes and tundras (although in Super Mario Sunshine Mario would take damage without his hat on due to the heat and in Super Mario 64, Mario would shiver when not moving in snow level). " | |||
*"Mario has been shown to be incredibly powerful and strong, almost comparable to that of super-human strength." (Mario is also very fast and quick and fast) | |||
Oh my god, I was way too young and inexperienced to understand this hilariously atrocious writing, but now I'm older, I'm laughing my ass off. | |||

Hey guys, I'm Bazooka Mario, your local Oh, to ease your thoughts, I despise the NRA. User information
FriendsYou know who you are. Either way, check my talk page and figure it out yourself. Stuff I DoAside 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
Luigi's MansionFor 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:
This list may not be complete nor definitive and may be subject to change. MarioIt's not about me, it's about the article. Here's what the article should have before it can be featured.
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.
Historical catastropheThe article was nominated to be featured at one point (check the quality of the article at the time; it's really bad; pardon for the italics throughout the article, but some people back then had no clue how to close italics), but I can safely say that its only remaining problem is coverage, which I'm dutifully doing here and there. The rest of the problems pointed out in this nomination is hopefully gone and a relic of the past. I've also proofread the entire history section of the article at one point, so I did remove cruft and changed to present tense. What's remaining is, again, coverage and focusing this article's writing like a laser, spotting any more cruft or poor writing.
