4,062 edits and counting! Every 100 edits, I'll make a commemorative userbox and add something massive! Hello, I'm TheDarkStar.[1] I joinedthe wiki[2] on February 10, 2019. I usually put my quotes here before putting them on MarioWiki:BJAODN or anywhere else. If you need help with something, please ask me on my talk page.[3] CURRENT PROJECT: Cleaning up the New Super Luigi U level articles.
A quick note: If you see me using red text or blue text in an edit summary, that's for emphasis. Italics don't work there, sadly. My shiny sandbox.

This user thinks that all the commotion about filenames should just end. Those filenames weren't meant to be accessed by normal means, so I doubt the developers were attempting to be serious with them. (For reference, this Dune Buddy filename.))
This user offers their condolences to Walkazo's family.
This user reads The 'Shroom.
This user likes messing with people's minds.
This user thinks that Super Paper Mario has the most criminally underrated soundtrack ever.
Beef? I am lacking in beef. This user is beefless. Heh... Heavy...
I am Paper Kamek and now there are two of me!
Your lives that I spit on are now but a caricature of a cartoon drawn by a kid who is stupid!
In the last moments of the finale of the finale, when relief leads to negligence that begets rashness... That is when the comeback that faltered comes back and beats your pathetic comeback that I scoff at!
I HAVE RANDOM!
This user has been thinking... Cackletta was a main antagonist. Fawful was a minion of Cackletta. Cackletta was killed. Fawful returned as a main antagonist. Midbus is a minion of Fawful. Fawful was killed... Nope, not happening!
This user thinks Midblizzard is a better name than Blizzard Midbus
This user doesn't see what the big deal about Poochy is. (Though he is rather cute...)
This user thinks it's time for some burnage!
This user thought Super Dimentio was a pushover.
TheDarkStar sings a song of bad!♪ MarioWiki is so sad!♪ All of it is for this user!♪ And the...rhyme...with that!♪
This user hates, hates, HATES Merlee's Basement! The game should give you more than one minute before Mimi the Annoying teleports in!
This user has been thinking... First, Fawful appeared as a co-main antagonist. Second, Fawful made a small appearance. Third, Fawful became a main antagonist. Antasma first appeared as a co-main antagonist, then made a small appearance... Could Antasma the Bat King return?!
This user wants the Bowser Mobile to appear again.
This user may update this page in the near future.

Project C.A.R.P. (Cool Acronyms are Required for Proposals)
It has come to my attention that proposals on this wiki are often mind-meltingly boring. Studies have shown that boringness of wiki-related issues causes 149% of dolphins to pass out and forget to come up for oxygen. Obviously, this environmental issue must be dealt with immediately. Think of the paperwork all of those dead dolphins create! I propose that Project C.A.R.P. be put into immediate use. This emergency action will require all proposals to have cool acronyms for titles. What qualifies as "cool" will be decided by the C.O.O.L. (Crew Of Optimal L-power), led by me, the K.I.N.G. (Kommanding Instigator of Neural Greatness) of C.O.O.L. It is a well-known fact that 50% of our workforce consists of dolphins, so we should really do whatever we can to keep the wiki interesting for them. My hope is for Project C.A.R.P. to be a spearhead for many new projects (such as a Pie Button, a Waffle Switch, an operation that places the world under the complete control of Poochy, the basics) that will greatly improve the moral of the dolphins and the lemurs (which cover another 40% of the workforce).
Proposer: Ultimate Mr. L (talk)
Deadline: A.P.R.I.L. 14, 2019, 23:59 GMT (as in Amazing Pie-Related Innovations by Mr. L)
(This proposal wasn't a serious proposal, and therefore can't be archived on MarioWiki:BJAODN/Proposals, but I kept it, adding alt-text to make it even better! Here ya go!-TheDarkStar)
Stuff I do
Split contractions; priority number one
Constantly watch the recent changes
Fix grammar
Revert vandalism, spam, and trolling
Rewrite stuff
The occasional page move
Beat other users to reminders/warnings
And I, like everyone else, sometimes decapitalize file extensions.
I've come up with a new system for this userbox; if you have constructively contributed to my talk page at least five times, feel free to use this userbox. It's at the top of my userbox tower, because of coding issues.
For when users just remove {{uncategorized}} and don't add categories
Please also note that simply removing {{tem|uncategorized}} won't suffice; categories should be added, like this: <code>[[Category:Super Mario Bros. Images]]</code>. Thanks! ~~~~
Things liable to annoy me here
Edit wars, particularly if a vandal is repeatedly vandalizing the same page over and over.
Having my username misspelled as The dark star.
Vandals, obviously.
Discourteous behavior, especially if it's directed at me.
TheDarkStar, TheDarkStar
They're maintenancing various stuff

I'm not too bad, I guess
Certainly, I will

"What's obscure?" That's real food for thought.

Game reviews
My own reviews of games!
Please assume that all NES, SNES, and N64 games here are on Virtual Console, except Super Mario All-Stars. That one got rereleased on Wii. PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL THE COMEDY IS HIGHLY EXAGGERATED AND MAY NOT REFLECT MY OPINIONS. IF YOUR MIND MELTS FROM THE SHEER INSANITY OF THESE REVIEWS, YOU HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE FULL REVIEWS YET. THEY'LL APPEAR ON A SUBPAGE ONCE I HIT 3000 EDITS.

Donkey Kong (NES)
They somehow ported an arcade game to the inferior NES. Levels have variety (75m has moving platforms and 100m has a kinda-sorta-boss-fight) Springs make their first appearance (GO S). Sprites are surprisingly decent for an NES port (except for Jumpman, that sprite is the horrifying face of terrible) ♪Hammer theme♪
Falling damage in a platformer is the sole reason I haven't beat this already. Jumps are way too low for a guy called "redman". He can barely clear a barrel rolling straight at him. For context, in NSMBW, Mario can easily vault over a barrel with little-to-no effort. WHERE IS MY PIE FACTORY?!
Not as bad as the sequel.
Oh, and it single-handedly saved video games. 5/10.
Falling damage keeps me from beating 75m.
Donkey Kong Jr. (NES)
Nothing here, nope.
I like to pretend this game doesn't exist, while also happily playing Action 52 and watching Foodfight! of my own free will. That should say something about my hatred for this game. Controls are of the sucky variety. Mario is the villain. Apparently, "My Theories Are A Piano!" was right. You may scream in terror when you realize that his awful sprite from Donkey Kong is back.
Aw yeah, now we're doing this right! No more smelly apes, just platforming action! I can kill turtles by using their shells like soccer balls. Satisfying does not begin to describe it. Bowser is an enemy in disguise in the first seven castles. That's a really nice touch that I wish was in more games. Music is wonderful.
♪Everything looks awful!♪ ♪Everything looks uncool, to the TDS "team"!♪ (You can have a team with one star, right?) ♪Everything looks awful!♪ ♪It's a graphical cluster chord, I believe!♪ ♪Everything may be better when the Goombas stick together♪ ♪Side by side, here they are, about to change stuff!♪ ♪Then they get stomped because Mario's still the villain!♪ ♪This page is very bloated!♪ ♪Only a megafan would read it all♪ ♪Because of superfluous stuff♪ ♪Like the Wiki Records!♪
UNDERWHERE YEAH. This Game has deserved A Divine Sequel for thirty years, but the closest It has gotten to A Divine Sequel is Super Mario Bros. X2. A sequel to a game that got taken down. Yeah. Every boss is equally amazing, but the best would have to be Mouser, for the sole reason that you get to blow him to smithereens with his own bombs. I practically worship this Divine Game.
There are no cons, as that would be blasphemy.
This is my favorite Super Mario game for a good reason. 11/10.
Made it to 7-2 using All-Stars's save mechanic, failed. 7-1 is very hard for a cloud level.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Difficult, but still fun. I love the Raccoon Suit, except for one detail: YOU MUST PRESS THE BUTTON CONTINUOUSLY TO FLY. Death to thumbs worldwide, I guess. New enemies are great, as always. Game is much longer than both its predecessors.
No save function? In a game with eight worlds, each with seven, eight, or even ten levels? Either the devs were temporarily replaced with cymbal-banging monkeys for the day, or the devs were too distracted by fighting off Ź̧a̸l҉̶g͝o̧҉͏ to add a save function on deadline. Game gets ridiculously hard at times (I'm looking at you, 7-5)
Nice, but not as nice as SMB2. 9/10.
Cannot beat World 8-1.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

♪OHHHHHHHHHHH...♪ ♪WHO LIVES IN A PLUMBER'S HOUSE UNDER THE HILL♪ ♪MALLEO MALLEO!♪ ♪HORRIFYING AND DOLL-LIKE AND POROUS IS HE♪ ♪MALLEO MALLEO!♪ ♪IF TERRIBLE GRAPHICS BE WHAT YOU WISH♪ ♪MALLEO MALLEO!♪ ♪THEN COME PLAY THIS GAME AND FLOP LIKE A FISH!♪ ♪MALLEO MALLEO!♪ No, seriously, this game sucks even if you don't sing a song about it. THE TRANSLATORS ARE NEOSQUID LEVELS OF TERRIBLE. Everyone is a doll... EVERYONE...
I think I may have found a game capable of coming a close second to Donkey Kong Jr. 2/10.
Ran out of Flower Points at Bowyer's battle, but I didn't have any Syrup. And I saved before I got there, meaning that I was officially stuck forever. The bugtesters must have been sick that day.
TheDarkStar's Guide to Being an Amazing User
This wiki has thousands of users, but very few regulars (relatively speaking, of course). This guide aims to teach users how to be amazing users in a step-by-step manner and grow the amount of regulars we have on the wiki.
Here we go.
Step One: Check your user talk page very often.
What the heck is a user talk page?!
A user talk page is a page in the namespace "User talk", used for discussing things with other users. Everyone has a talk page, except those who haven't had theirs created yet, sorry :(
Wait, how do I get to my talk page?
Your user talk page is easily accessible from the top-right corner of the GUI on the desktop site. For mobile users, tap the menu icon in the top-left corner, then select "My user page" from the menu that pops up. Then tap the discussion tab at the top, and voila. You can also press Alt-Shift-N on your keyboard for easy talk page access.
Hm, that's nice, but what's all this?
The messages on your talk page are organized by a Table of Contents, more well known by its nickname, TOC. Simply clicking or tapping any section in the TOC will take you there.
AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! I got a reminder!
Reminders and warnings are given to users who break the rules. If you received a reminder for forgetting italics, the appropriate course of action would be to acknowledge that you forgot italics and say you're going to try to remember to italicize now.
Step Two: Check the recent changes often
What's that?
The recent changes is a page where the most recent changes are logged. It's easily accessible in the sidebar on desktop, and can be found in the menu button on mobile. It's pretty easy to use. I personally spend my entire life most of my time on the recent changes just in case any talk page contributions are made.
Step Three: Create your userpage
You already know how to access your userpage (detailed in Step One, subsection two), so it should be easy to create your userpage. Just put anything you want on there except libel of my guide and excessive YouTube videos. Basically just read over MarioWiki:Userspace, as that explains everything better than I could ever hope to.
Step Four: Contribute to discussions often
Discussions are easy to contribute to. Just add a relevant comment to a talk page and you're set. Comments not related to improving the article, known as forum talk, should go on the wiki's forum. The Bull's-Eye Bill talk is a shining example of what not to do on a talk page, as a majority of the discussion was just people endlessly repeating their opinions, myself included. It, however, is a great example of the buildup to a talk page proposal, which I will not be covering here.
Step Five: Contribute to mainspace often
It kinda goes without saying, really.
Step Six: Rejoice, for you have become an amazing user
I hope this guide is a wonderful help to whoever reads it. TheDarkStar
^Here's a truly despisable wiki: the Heffalumps and Woozles wiki... ugh. KILL IT AND WIKIA IN ANY WAY IMAGINABLE. That's your daily superliminal message, courtesy of TheDarkStar.
S). Sprites are surprisingly decent for an NES port (except for Jumpman, that sprite is the horrifying face of terrible) ♪Hammer theme♪
