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.

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".

Overview of my dumb opinions
|
|
Donkey Kong (NES)
|
Don't really care
|
|
Donkey Kong Jr. (NES)
|
Don't really care
|
|
Mario Bros. (NES)
|
I care slightly more
|
|
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.
|
|
Super Mario Bros. (NES)
|
It's good, but I'd rather play just about anything else.
|
|
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)
|
|
Super Mario Bros. 2 (NES)
|
Good
|
|
Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)
|
Very good
|
|
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.
|
|
Yoshi (NES)
|
Don't care. This one's boring.
|
|
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.
|
|
Super Mario Land (GB)
|
It's nothing particularly exciting.
|
|
Dr. Mario (GB)
|
Imagine the NES version, but a little worse. You get this.
|
|
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.
|
|
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 (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.
|
|
Super Mario All-Stars (SNES)
|
I think it's generally better for the first three games but worse for Mario 3.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
Mario's Super Picross (SNES)
|
I've been picking away at this one. All I can say is this: It sure is Picross.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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
