(→‎20 April 2024: While "Gamer" has many microgames that are pretty similar to each other, with the intention of listing them being to give players a muscle memory headstart, I don't feel like a gambler this evening.)

*Specialises in [[Princess Peach: Showtime!]], [[WarioWare (series)]], and [[Mario Kart (series)]], in 1-2-3 order.
*Can also handle technical aspects (5.1 native surround, names in other languages, time limits, etc.) in some other games, such as, but not limited to, [[Super Mario Bros.#Time clock]] and [[Paper Mario: The Origami King#Technical aspects]].
*I've got an Elgato HD60 Pro setup good enough to get proper PNG screenshots of Switch and Wii U games.

*My debate skills in Proposals threads would be poor at best (harking back to my generally total failures at Sims Wikia's noticeboards), but I guess it can't hurt catastrophically for me to try Proposals threads once or twice, if my stamina permits.

*While I presumed the complexity of Japanese writing styles would help determine what the target audience of a specific game was, I guess I can agree that the effect for games rated below PEGI 12 would be negligible.

**Turns out Québecians do in fact use spaces around colons. Was news to me, at least.

**JP/SK transliterations are not valid at all to determine soft R's, even more so as I live in a region with extra soft rolling R's, and whose main regions of communication also use it.

*Trying to centre any of the 3D files at Models Resource with 3D file editors, is a 100% guaranteed method to cause severe psychosis and insanity. So don't even ''try'' to get any icons from them.

*<s>Do a 5.1 surround test of Peach Showtime. Depending on how far down Yamaha receivers allow me to reduce dB offsets of the front speakers, it shouldn't be ''too'' hard to do.</s>

*Test more games for native surround. Let's say, <s>[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]], [[Mario Kart 8]],</s> [[Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020]], <s>[[New Super Mario Bros. U]] Wii U Edition, [[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]], [[Paper Mario: Color Splash]],</s> [[Paper Mario: The Origami King]], and a few others I could have.

**Before the last few, I want to get banana plugs for the 2 front speakers' wires, so that I can easily turn off those speakers myself on near-command, which is something Yamaha (the company) doesn't seem to trust me to do.

*Although it's ended up controversial by the dozen on wikis I've been on before, whether it actually went splendidly, if minimodders thought I couldn't hold a spoon right, or if access was very hardlocked to "Admins only", it'd be within my skill scope to set up an AutoWikiBrowser trial run on Mario Wiki to convert <code><nowiki>([\=]|//|\s{0,})http://(www\.|m\.)?youtube\.com/</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki>$1https://www.youtube.com/</nowiki></code> Starting it very simple with one single type of conversion, and extraordinarily safeguarded to not convert Wayback Machine.

**Get one for the merboy too, presumably; although from what I've understood only for core Mega Microgame$ purposes at most.

*<s>As far as easy-to-suggest Proposals go, a proposal to replace [[Princess_Peach:_Showtime!#Plays]] with a "Main link" to [[Sparkle Theater]] hopefully can't be a too bad first attempt.</s>
*Mass-utilizing [[Template:Cite]], as it seems to be a near-verbatim equivalent to Wikipedia's Cite Web, seems to be a possibly great move, but would be practically impossible to do on a large scale.

*Due to a total lack of any other plausible options, the icon for a [[Stella ribbon]] page would be the one from the top of her wardrobe menu, with the round red-black circle being extended to a square to avoid any PaintNET wand transparency issues.
**I am '''NOT''' touching any ZIPs from those psychos at The Models Resource ever again, if it's a matter of life and death. Their guides are just "Use Blender, lol, lmao", and Blender is the most evil software ever made.
