The "SPEEDRUN!" stamp from Super Mario Maker 2.

Hey, this is ViableBunnyBudd, or just "Viable" for short. I like Mario games, which is why I'm here. Crazy, right? I love watching people play games well, and I love attempting to mimic that sometimes.

I'm the guy that makes the Hint Art for the Shroom. I'm having a lot of fun with that so far, and from what I can gather other people like it too, which makes me happy.

Let me know if I'm doing anything wrong with my wiki edits btw.

Current MarioWiki Projects

  • Adding/updating enemy tables in NSMBU levels
  • General NSMBU cleanup

Mario games I've played (plus opinions!)

This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.

(Haha)

NOTE: Most of the older games weren't played on their original consoles, I played them on WiiVC or NSO. I don't use the savestate or rewind features though because I think they draw away from the "intended experience".

Game Cover Game Name Overview of my dumb opinions
In-game title of the Nintendo Entertainment System port of Donkey Kong Donkey Kong (NES) Don't really care
In-game title of Donkey Kong Jr. Donkey Kong Jr. (NES) Don't really care
In-game title of the NES port of Mario Bros. Mario Bros. (NES) I care slightly more
Wrecking Crew NES cover Wrecking Crew (NES) I like this one! The whole level-making thing is pretty great, even if it's hard to adjust to because... it's on the NES.
United States box art for Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. (NES) It's good, but I'd rather play just about anything else.
Japanese box art for Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels ("NES") I don't like it much... but I'll do the whole "play the game eight times" thing eventually just to say I did it. I have beat this game without powerups, warp zones, and savestates before. (It took a few Game Overs though, thank goodness you can restart from the world you died at rather than square one)
North American box art for Super Mario Bros. 2 Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES) Good
North American box art for Super Mario Bros. 3 Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES) Very good
North American box art for Dr. Mario on NES Dr. Mario (NES) I like it. Still have yet to do Level 20 on high though. I'm not too good at the falling-block genre.
North American box art for Yoshi on the Nintendo Entertainment System Yoshi (NES) Don't care. This one's boring.
North American box art of Wario's Woods for the Nintendo Entertainment System Wario's Woods (NES) I like it but the lack of music diversity gets to me... really interesting take on the falling-block genre though. It's fun.
North American box art for Super Mario Land Super Mario Land (GB) It's nothing particularly exciting.
North American box art for Dr. Mario on Game Boy Dr. Mario (GB) Imagine the NES version, but a little worse. You get this.
North American box art for Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins Super Mario Land 2 (GB) It has a nice vibe to it. The open-endedness is a neat idea. There are a bunch of design choices I don't understand with this one, mostly level-specific things... it's like Little Timmy hacked in and changed some of the layouts.
North American box art for Super Mario World Super Mario World (SNES) On par with Mario 3. Very clean. My number one nitpick would be that the Cape Feather is probably a bit overpowered. It's generally a great time to romp around here and find secrets.
Super Mario Kart North American box art Super Mario Kart (SNES) Now, I don't really rage at games, but this game reeeeally pushes my limits... I will say this though: I love watching people who are good at this game. The live competitions are fun to watch and I'd recommend seeing some.
North American box art for Super Mario All-Stars Super Mario All-Stars (SNES) I think it's generally better for the first three games but worse for Mario 3.
North American box art for Donkey Kong Country Donkey Kong Country (SNES) It has a sort of vibe that I can't really describe... it's like the game just feels dated. There's also a LOT of times where you'll get blindsided by stuff you couldn't react to, almost like the devs didn't know where the camera would be when designing the levels. Can't say I enjoyed it. I will say that it's another game where I enjoy watching people that care about it play.
North American box art of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (SNES) I liked most of it, though as soon as I figured out the 100% requirements I was like "Yeah I'm not doing this right now lol", and I still haven't 100% this one. Maybe one day.
Box art for Mario's Super Picross Mario's Super Picross (SNES) I've been picking away at this one. All I can say is this: It sure is Picross.
North American box art for Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES) Oh my god this one is so much better than the first game. 100%-ing this was a great time.
North American box art for Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! Donkey Kong Country 3 (SNES) The way this game feels is so... unique. The wilderness vibes(?) are really strong, and it's oddly captivating to me. In between DKCs 1 and 2 imo.
North American box art of Super Mario 64. Super Mario 64 (N64) Some aspects of it are kinda painful (cough cough Dire Dire Docks, Aquarium, camera in general) but I appreciate the vast majority of this game. It's great for just messing around if you feel like it. I keep coming back to this one and find it good for all sorts of challenge runs.
North American box art for Paper Mario Paper Mario (N64) Great role-playing game. I love the dialogue and the interconnectedness of it. I remember finding this game hard as a kid, though when revisiting it I was like "How did I ever struggle with this lol"

Do you have a favorite Mario game?

Uhhhh Super Mario Galaxy maybe??? I haven't truly decided.

Q&A

If you want to ask me something I might put it here.

Long-term Mario goals that have nothing to do with the Mariowiki

I'd like to complete a speedrun of every (or at least every mainline) Mario game. Maybe even multiple categories of those games.

Speedrun times I have

  • New Super Mario Bros. Wii Any% - 26:57
  • Super Mario Galaxy 2 Any% - 3:46:54 (I did one run on a whim and that's what I got)
  • Wario Land 3 Any% Glitchless - 2:10:00 (Another "on a whim" run)
  • Paper Mario 3D Land Any% (fangame) - 18:14 (current WR)
  • Various ILs in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - I played a lot on the Wii U version, and the leaderboards are no longer accessible... I had a top 3 time for one level when they shut down haha
  • Various ILs in New Super Mario Bros U. Deluxe - some of them are WR's, mostly due to lack of interest though
  • Various categories in Wario DESTROYS a Glass of Milk (fangame) - currently have 3 WR's in it

I would like to do some more but my problem right now is that I don't have a good way of recording anything that isn't a fangame.

Mario characters I like for no particular reason
