A casual player, artist, game analyst and happenstance glitch hunter.
My introduction to Mario
My first Mario games ever were New Super Mario Bros, Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy. These kickstarted not only my love for Mario games and the platforming genre, but also shaped my musical tastes.
What I do now
My passions have intertwined. I went from watching glitch compilations to glitch hunting, admiring official art to creating my own art and 3d model recreations, and now sharing what I know about the series through this wiki!

Glitch catalog

Since I am an avid fan of glitch hunting and inside looks into video games, documenting finds both popular and obscure has been a side project of mine. Thus I have collected a large amount of YouTube videos highlighting obscure glitches, many of which apply to games within the overarching Mario franchise. However, I am one person, so it is difficult for me to translate this documentation of finds onto the appropriate pages within a reasonable time frame, especially with school and personal factors.

Because of this, I have provided a link to a playlist filled with glitches and insights found throughout mostly Mario games: Playlist of obscure glitches and findings

I also have a playlist filled specifically of glitches in Paper Mario games! These are comprised of findings made by me, ones I have contributed to, or bugs that I have determined the cause of which lacked proper video documentation or explanation. if these insights interest you, go ahead and check it out: Paper Mario Tricks / Glitches

Sites like ezgif still works for transferring WiiU screenshots, since other sites like Gmail don't support the browser anymore and ShutterU is defunct. This has helped for maintaining the ability to document Wii U game features properly.

Image catalog

I've also grown an interest in cataloging media for games, which is why I have joined Super Mario Wiki in the first place! I usually upload images I manage to find so they may be used on this site, but in some instances it's just cumbersome or would require converting, and current versions already exist. For those instances I will document online sources here:
