| Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been very active on this wiki lately; school and chores have been rocking my life from end to end, so I don't get much freetime to play around here anymore. I still check it every day for new messages and happenings, and I'm still working on stuff for the wiki, I just thought I'd let you all know what's up!
| | Okay guys. So, with 2009 coming to a close, I must say... my favorite movies this year were, in order and with reasons are: |
|
| |
|
| -- | | '''#5: Fantastic Mr. Fox:''' Had the quirky humour of an Indie film executed with the professionalism you'd expect from the finest stop-motion. The animation is spectacular and the writing is excellent... a must-see if you are a fan of Roald Dahl's books or stop motion! |
|
| |
|
| Also known as [http://pixar.wikia.com/wiki/User:Peori Peori] on the Pixar Wiki!
| | '''#4: Ponyo:''' Miyazaki's latest gemstone is a tale of love... and a hyperactive 5-year-old goldfish. Gorgeous animation, compelling story and bizzarely ingenious story... it may not be the greatest triumph in Miyzaki's catalogue, but it's a refined one nevertheless. |
|
| |
|
| Bonjour, I'm Leirin, a member of the Mario Wiki! I joined in 2008 mostly because of a sudden love for Super Mario RPG (VC player here; I wish I could have played it during the SNES years!), but also because I figured I could be helpful with adding certain things to the Wiki, such as Japanese information, which I have a lot of. (Little trivia: my first edit on this wiki was adding [[Luvbi]]'s Japanese name!) I'm also a writer for the Wiki's very own "The Shroom", and my section is the Non-Mario review -- give it a look if you haven't. I'm an aspiring young artist with a deep interest in game development. Some of you might know me from [http://kirby.classicgaming.gamespy.com/ Kirby's Rainbow Resort] or even my (currently WIP) website, [http://www.kirbydream.com/ Kirby Dream]. I enjoy drawing, playing video games, and writing down strategies for video games as passtimes.
| | '''#3: Coraline:''' Another delightful stop-motion animated feature, Coraline comes from the acclaimed director of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS and CORPSE BRIDE, Henry Sellick. Genuinely creepy and deeply felt, this enthralling feature will keep you on the edge of your seat. |
|
| |
|
| In any case, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance!
| | '''#2: The Princess and the Frog:''' Too long has Disney's traditional animation department been shut down. This film opened it up again in a big way. Randy Newman graces the soundtrack with his upbeat and lively music and the characters are all made memorable with a Disney touch. |
| | |
| | '''#1: Up:''' Where do I begin? Gorgeously rendered and truly "uplifting", this inspiring story is unlike any other portrayed through the animated film medium.... Up is something of a fairy tale: Beautifully told and clever in the most bizarre ways. |
|
| |
|
| ==Favorite Games, Movies, etc.== | | ===Art Book Review: "The Art of Up"=== |
| Naturally, I love playing the Super Mario series, as it is both a fun passtime and a tap into my earlier childhood (full of good memories). I also love the Kirby series, The Legend of Zelda series (Wind Waker for the win!), the EarthBound/MOTHER series, Smash Bros. series, Klonoa series (so underrapreciated...), and more!
| |
|
| |
|
| I'm also a big fan of the movies by Pixar. Saw the Toy Stoy Double-Feature and was blown away. In a sense, I've been a fan of them all my life, and have seen every one of them in theatres starting with a Bug's Life in 1998. Other than Pixar, my favorite movie-making company would be the ''classic'' Disney... that is to say, any film they've made from 1937 to 2002, I suppose.
| | Coming soon. Like, very, very soon. |
|
| |
|
| ==Odd Theories and Thoughts== | | ===A Collection of My Reviews=== |
| Mind you this is a section for fun. It contains strange, strange theories that float about in my mind, decaying and rotting, until I pick them up and slop them on my user page. So here it goes.
| |
|
| |
|
| *You may already be aware of the fact that the Happy Mask Salesman in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has a Mario mask on his bag, right? Well, consider this: The HMS (I'll call him that for short) ''killed'' Mario and regularly disguises himself as Mario from 2000 (the release of Majora's Mask) onward. So the Mario we see in games like [[Paper Mario]] and newer isn't the real Mario... it's the HMS!
| | Here they are. |
| *Ever considered the fact that [[Twink]] from Paper Mario ''might'' be Geno, or at least related to him? I mean, just think about it. Look at all the similarities. Paper Mario's seven Star Spirits, then SMRPG's seven stars. Even just the subtle fact that Twink waves to you goodbye at the very end of the game (sort of as a reference to SMRPG) got me thinking. Hmm.
| |
| *Here's something to ponder: what do video game characters do for the holidays? Like Father's Day and Valentine's Day? What about April Fool's Day? It's an interesting thought.
| |
|
| |
|
| ...Don't look at me that way. I told you I was strange!

| | | *[[MarioWiki:The_%27Shroom/XXX/Non-Mario_Review|Issue 30 (Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, 9.5/10)]] |
| ==My opinions on a Super Paper Mario movie==
| | *[[MarioWiki:The_%27Shroom/XXIX/Non-Mario_Review|Issue 29 (EarthBound, 9.2)]] |
| (See [[Super_Paper_Mario#Possible_Theatrical_Adaption|here]] for more details)
| | *[[MarioWiki:The_%27Shroom/XXVIII/Non-Mario_Review|Issue 28 (The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, 9.2)]] |
| | | *[[MarioWiki:The_%27Shroom/XXVII/Non-Mario_Review|Issue 27 (EarthBound Zero, 9.0)]] |
| Indeed, I was ecstatic upon crossing this information. While I have high doubts in my heart, seeing as though it was stated in October of 2007, I still have high hopes for it and pray that it will happen. Something about me has the mentality of "I don't care if it sucks, I just want my Super Paper Mario movie", despite knowing I shouldn't. I respect the genius [[Charles Martinet]]'s opinions of it -- whatever Miyamoto does with his franchise is probably what's best for it.
| | *[[MarioWiki:The_%27Shroom/XXVI/Non-Mario_Review|Issue 26 (Kirby's Adventure, 8.7)]] |
| | | *[[MarioWiki:The_%27Shroom/XXV/Non-Mario_Review|Issue 25 (MOTHER3, 9.7)]] |
| Although something about me can't shake the feeling that by making a new movie, they'll end up giving the main character (in this case, Mario) plenty of lines, just as most other movie main characters have. But by doing that, I also get the feeling they will ruin Mario. So unless they keep him a silent protagonist in contrast to everyone else, this may very well <i>completely avoid the feeling</i> that is Mario. Which I am afraid of.
| | *[[MarioWiki:The_%27Shroom/XXIV/Non-Mario_Review|Issue 24 (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, 10)]] |
| | |
| Otherwise, I am quite interested, and hope that it will come out. You can discuss this on [[User_talk:Leirin|my talk page.]]
| |
| | |
| ==Favorite Video Game Boss Battles==
| |
| {{spoiler}}
| |
| *'''#9:''' Mr. Passion, of MOTHER3. A fun fight indeed. The steady tempo changes as it switches songs just makes the timing all the more tricky (and fun). Mr. Passion in himself is very strange. He even pulls an Excorcist on you and lets his head to a 180 before the battle begins! Creepy. | |
| | |
| *'''#8:''' Zero, of Kirby's Dream Land 3. Another Kirby final boss, geez, sue me. Zero is basically a giant, floating eyeball who squirts juicy red blood at you for a defensive move. An enemy in the '''Kirby series''' of all things to attack by bleeding all over the place? Unexpected, in the least. You even get to fight his bloody red pupil. Before you actually battle Zero, you fight Dark Matter.
| |
| | |
| *'''#7:''' [[Ganondorf]], of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. While the battle seems monotonous at first, once you get the hang of things, it's really quite easy. Better yet is the fact that Ganondorf dies in the most epic and beautiful way in this game: getting stabbed in the freaking forehead! Ouch, that's gonna hurt. Especially Link's stunned facial expression after doing so.
| |
| | |
| *'''#6:''' Giygas, of EarthBound. First, he starts out with a freaky image of your face on his center (eerie much?), and once he enters phase two, he gets ready to bust out some PSI Rockin'. Afterwards, he can't even be attacked. What now? While a lot of people didn't realize this when they first played the game, the only thing you should be doing now to beat him is Praying! After you've prayed around 8 times Giygas freaks out and becomes unstable, while the screen goes crazy. Strange, but genius, strategy. The war against Giygas is over!
| |
| | |
| *'''#5:''' Marx and Marx Soul, of Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra (but especially Ultra). Who doesn't love Marx? I'll tell you: no one. That I know of. He's pretty much a psychotic child about Kirby's height with a jester and huge, unusual wings. He does all sorts of freaky stuff during the battle, and the music that plays with it is no doubt some of the best in all of the Kirby series. The deadly scream he emits in his Marx Soul form is pretty horrifying.
| |
| | |
| *'''#4:''' [[Smithy]], of Super Mario RPG. I know, the final boss is to be expected, but Smithy is a strange foe indeed. Not only does he ''bang his head with a hammer'' to transform it into something nasty, but just the fact that he becomes somewhat retarded hits it for me right there.
| |
| | |
| *'''#3:''' [[Culex]], of Super Mario RPG. Wow. You can really feel the tension and heat of battle here, which is complemented by the Final Fantasy music. The setting in itself is left so unexplained and mysterious, especially just the Culex character himself. USE [[Geno Flash|GENO FLASH]]! That is all that can be said. ;) | |
| | |
| *'''#2:''' Giegue, of MOTHER. Not many people got to complete this wonderful game (aka EarthBound Zero), did they? Well, too bad, 'cause they missed out on such an awesome fight! Singing. Weird strategy indeed. You must sing continually while this alien reveals its backstory to you in order to defeat it! MOTHER is full of quirky enemies.
| |
| | |
| *'''#1:''' Masked Man (Claus), of MOTHER3. What... what can even be ''said'' of this battle? Everything about it. Shocking. Aghast. Stunning. First off, the music; everything is going insane. Eerie random voice clips. 8-bit explosions. Chirping noises. Previous enemy music getting sped up and high-pitched. All the while, Lucas simply keeps defending and healing. But worse. The voice of "your beloved mother" who had passed on is trying to contact your misled brother Claus and tell him to stop beating up on you. This goes on for a while, until she tells him that he's Lucas's twin brother. Then everything just comes to a grinding halt. The events that take place in this battle, the subtlety of the dialogue, the mixed feelings and happenings afterwards... it's almost too much to contain.

| | |
| ==Favorite Mario RPG Allies==
| |
| *'''10:''' [[Ms. Mowz]], of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Hooray for optional partners! She was always such a funny character, less of a serious one and more of a comedic one. While she isn't amazingly strong, she DOES have some good powers. | |
| | |
| *'''9:''' [[Bowser]], of Super Mario RPG and Super Paper Mario. He can kick butt with his Chain Chomp-based moves. My only qualm over using Bowser in battle is his magic attacks. Ugh, they're horrible...
| |
| | |
| *'''8:''' [[Bobbery]], of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Explosives. Indeed. Whether you need to blast through a wall or throw tiny ticking time-bombs at enemies, Bobbery's your man. | |
| | |
| *'''7:''' The Yoshi Kid, of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Feisty, speedy and quite a powerhouse, the Yoshi Kid is one tough cookie. Plus, he's cute, and you can ride him in the overworld -- an ability which I always like in the Paper Mario games.
| |
| | |
| *'''6:''' [[Goombella]], of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. A knowledgable archeologist girl who I consider a huge improvement from [[Goombario]] of the first Paper Mario. She can Headbonk, Tattle, all that good stuff!
| |
| | |
| *'''5:''' [[Lady Bow]], of Paper Mario. With her lethal fan-slap and good looks, she was definitely my favorite partner in the first Paper Mario -- and no doubt one of the best in the game. She also has a bit of a sassy attitude. | |
| | |
| *'''4:''' [[Princess Toadstool]], of Super Mario RPG and Super Paper Mario. While most preferred Bowser in Super Mario RPG, I side with chuggaaconroy and believe that Toadstool is a better choice in the end. She's almost a ''requirement'' for the final boss, too. Without the Frying Pan/Metal Plate, she's almost unusably weak though!
| |
| | |
| *'''3:''' [[Vivian]], of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The frail girl of the team is surprisingly one of the best partners! Her standard attack is easy to use and does a fairly keen amount of damage. She also hails from one of my favorite parts of the game.
| |
| | |
| *'''2:''' [[Mallow]], of Super Mario RPG. I doubt many are aware of the fact that Mallow is the first-ever character to join Mario on an RPG adventure! He proves himself important during certain parts of the story, only con being his weak physical strength. He has some good magic though, especially [[Snowy]] -- the [[Czar Dragon]] is nearly impossible without it!
| |
| | |
| *'''1:''' [[Geno]], of Super Mario RPG. Ah yes... most consider him the granddaddy of Mario RPG game partners! With his star-based magic and mysterious past, what's not to love about this guy. It may also come in part from my fascination with the concept of a possessed doll. Definitely interesting.

| |
| Yaaay! The MarioWiki Anniversary is upon us! Let us vote!
| |
|
| |
|
| While I'm not going to reveal what I voted for (at least not yet), I will tell you right now that I consider Super Mario RPG to be the best Mario game, with Super Paper Mario likely in second. What I chose for the worst game is, sadly, a game I have never played, but have ''observed'', and judged it to be the worst. Perhaps you can guess?
