Welcome to my user page! I joined the wiki in 2021 and made some small fixes. Once the Switch version of The Thousand-Year Door released, I made a few small contributions. Mario & Luigi: Brothership releasing is what got me to start doing larger specialized contributions, starting with adding more info to Battle Plugs alongside moving and reuploading all the plug icons. This then led to me discovering that the wiki's technical coverage of classic Paper Mario games and the Mario & Luigi series could be better. After being shocked that this wasn't covered on the wiki, I did a lot of research and ended up making the Lucky Hit article.
Sandboxes
Major contributions
- Battle Plug (did a lot of in-game testing)
- STACHE-Up (created)
- LUCKY (hit) (created)
- List of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time gear (got in-game descriptions from a text dump and sourced badge effects)
- List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story gear (added in-game descriptions and did a lot of in-game testing)
- Woohoo Hooniversity (added block research rooms section, as this was not documented in-depth somehow)
- Rank (ripped and uploaded the icons for Dream Team, Paper Jam, and Bowser's Inside Story DX. Brothership icons were gotten from the Spriters Resource)
- Ripping and uploading the icons for the Paper Jam Bros. and Trio Attacks.
To do list
- Finish sandboxes of M&L "meter badge" mechanics.
- Get all the images I have uploaded onto the related subject galleries. I'm planning on doing this if I feel that uploading the Bowser's Inside Story DX attack icons is needed so that it can all be done in one sweep.
- Make List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey gear actually usable. I got the game (in 2025!) partly for this, and I even found the internal file that stores gear data and reversed it!
- Upload screenshots of Bowser's Inside Story DX to get all the "needs more images" tags off location subjects.
- Get the Guard and Superguard frame data from Talk:Unsimplifier into the related articles.
Larger ideas
Ideas that likely require discussion from how unusual they are.
- Make a critical hit article for the Mario & Luigi series. There is a critical hit article on the wiki already, but that a redirect to Super Smash Bros. Final Smashes...
- Do something about Mario & Luigi navigation templates putting items in alphabetical order instead of breaking it to have something like Mushroom (Super • Ultra • Max).
- Merge Brawl Point into Bros. Point, primarily because of how much it sucks to work around the original Bowser's Inside Story calling both Special Point, a deprecated term on this wiki.
- Recurring themes are eligible for articles. "An Awfully Long Time Ago...", the intro story theme of The Thousand-Year Door, which is in a few songs in GameCube but is a recurring motif throughout the Switch version, is not eligible for an article just because the recurring theme requirements are...interesting.
- The Switch version of The Thousand-Year Door has an in-universe font that can be deciphered into actual text, giving the world more detail. Examples of this font appearing are the storybook intro and ending (the narration and the book in the intro are the same text) and this wanted poster of Mario (which says Mario). Inkipedia has an article going in-depth to a similar thing throughout the Splatoon series.
Final Boss idea
I'm probably never going to get the answer to this (it was likely a conjectural name made up by an editor years ago), but there's one thing I still want to know:
- Where did the name "Riddle Tower" come from, referring to the place now officially known as Palace of Shadow Tower?
3DS Mario & Luigi icon reuse
With the help of User:Camwoodstock providing item icons of Superstar Saga DX to me, I was able to confirm what item icons are reused across the 4 3DS Mario & Luigi games. This helps cut down on duplicate files on the wiki.
| Subject | DT | PJ | SSDX | BISDX |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mushroom | First | Reused from DT | Different | Reused from DT |
| Nut | First | Reused from DT | Different | Reused from DT |
| Syrup | First | Reused from DT | Different | Reused from DT |
| (Star) Candy | First | Reused from DT | N/A | Reused from DT |
| 1-Up | First | Reused from DT | Different | Reused from DT |
| Refreshing Herb | First | Reused from DT | Different | Different again |
| Boo Biscuit | First | Reused from DT | Different | Different again |
| Subject | DT | PJ | BISDX |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heart | First | Reused from DT | Different |
| Bros./Special | First | Reused from DT | Different |
| Power | First | Reused from DT | Reused from DT |
| Defense | First | Reused from DT | Different |
| Speed | First | Reused from DT | Different |
| Stache/Flex | First | Reused from DT | Different |
Affected files
Keep and update these to mention their reuse. These are Dream Team assets. All beans here do not have a game identifier, and Defense Bean is misspelled as Defence Bean in the filename.
These are Superstar Saga DX assets to keep. Apparently only the Refreshing Herb was already on the wiki. The Boo Biscuit in this game is unique, so don't forget that one.
These are Bowser's Inside Story DX assets to delete and replace with Dream Team versions. It seems that these are being used for Superstar Saga DX articles, so don't mass replace these with Dream Team assets at first.
These are Bowser's Inside Story DX assets to keep. The Boo Biscuit is being used for a few Superstar Saga DX articles, but should not take long to fix.
