I am a Mario fan. My favorite series is Paper Mario, although I like the first and the third installments of Mario & Luigi too. I like tool-assisted speedruns too.
My projects
Finished
- List of Toad Town News in Paper Mario
- List of Star Pieces in Paper Mario
- List of Star Pieces in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door*
- List of Shine Sprites in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door*
* These are the pages I'm most proud of, because I took most of the screenshots myself, and they are high-quality ones taken with the Dolphin emulator.
Future plan
- The first revision of the article "List of Star Pieces in Paper Mario" use poor-quality screenshots taken from a Japanese 100% run of Paper Mario found on the Internet. The second one (current) uses screenshots imported from RPGShrine, which are slightly better. In the future third revision I plan to take higher-quality ones myself, now that I have the US version of Paper Mario.
- Wait for someone to hack into Paper Mario and come up with the item drop probability for each enemy. (Some guy hacked into the game and found that Up & Away has a 0.016% chance to succeed in the final two Bowser battles. But this value later turned out to be wrong.)
- Dig all the conversations in Paper Mario.
- “Goombaria knows a lot about the subtle languages of flowers and colors. She talks and talks and talks until I can't take it anymore! As a result, I've learned a lot of what she knows.”
- —Goombario, Paper Mario
Wiki backup
In case mariowiki.com gets blocked again, I'm making a backup of the wiki. On 5 August 2015 I downloaded the wikicode of the 16,224 non-redirect mainspace articles via Special:Export, and added templates and galleries later. I also have a list of the pictures used on mainspace and gallery articles. It contains 37453 items, beginning with
('! Block and face blocks scene SM3DL.png', '/images/e/ef/%21_Block_and_face_blocks_scene_SM3DL.png', '400', '240')
('!Block.png', '/images/8/8d/%21Block.png', '1112', '1000')
('! Switch (SMW2).PNG', '/images/a/aa/%21_Switch_%28SMW2%29.PNG', '20', '21')
('-2MortonsCastle.png', '/images/6/66/-2MortonsCastle.png', '256', '224')
('0-1 DiceBlock.png', '/images/5/5c/0-1_DiceBlock.png', '159', '132')
and ending with
('Yoshistory2.png', '/images/0/02/Yoshistory2.png', '134', '169')
('Yoshistorysceenshot.PNG', '/images/8/89/Yoshistorysceenshot.PNG', '441', '308')
('Yurarinbooartwork.PNG', '/images/e/e3/Yurarinbooartwork.PNG', '125', '111')
('Zodacamel.png', '/images/2/26/Zodacamel.png', '256', '232')
('Zombone.gif', '/images/5/5e/Zombone.gif', '76', '76')
I haven't downloaded all the pictures (they'll take lots of space), but from the wikicode backup I can use regular expressions to search, for example, all the pages that have Chinese names but no romanizations in the "Names in other languages" box. The backup is not perfect, but you can ask me if you want it.
Personal info
- My email is
250x0418497@qq.comminus the "x". My Baidu account is dine2013 or dine2015. However, most of the time I'll be offline - Due to the strange behavior of Сhina's Internet сensοrship, this site is sometimes accessible in China and sometimes not. When it isn't, I'll use some GFW-bypassing software to access this site.
- I'm a Linux user. My favorite distributions are Ubuntu and its derivatives.
