Hi, I'm Leirin, writer of those Non-Mario review articles for The Shroom. A few things you should know about me: I love Queen songs, and Ghibli movies. I also love ELO songs, and Pixar movies! Haha! Yes, that's really about it. We're in the new year 2011 and I'm aiming high this year. Particularly, I want to be a little more involved with the site than I was last year. I still got the articles done, but I wasn't that into the community. So I plan on being more active this year. (Don't worry if I don't say much though, I'm always checking up on this place.) So, if you need me...uh...I'll probably be right here, in front of my computer! (That's another bad joke for you...)

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.
 
In any case, I'm pleased to make your acquaintance!
 
==Favorite Games and Series==
Now this takes me back, good times. If you didn't already know, I am very nostalgic and sentimental. As silly as this may sound, many of my greatest memories are surrounded around video games. Some favorites include Super Mario RPG, Kirby Super Star Ultra, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, MOTHER3, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I also have a place in my heart for the Pikmin and Klonoa series, and have fond memories of playing Banjo-Kazooie games on my N64 and Sonic Adventure & Sonic Adventure 2. While I don't consider myself a "fan" of either franchises anymore, I still respect said games and enjoy them.
 
==Odd Theories and Thoughts==
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!
*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.
 
...Don't look at me that way. I told you I was strange!
 
==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.
