this is the interests page! here you're gonna be seeing my ramblings about a buuunch of the things im incredibly tismed and Criminally insane about. i am sorry in advance. expect some way to jump to different categories up here soon

in fact, i don't even know where to start, so i'm just gonna kick off with the one thing i know i can:


SUBJECT 1:


Okay Actually Bad Idea because Where do I begin with this now.

I. So. So. To preface. I'm just gonna state that I'm what you could call a

Mario Autist!

(which means I am incredibly hyperfixed on the Mario franchise in general. as you could probably tell by now based off Quite a few things on this website actually!)

Like I'm just gonna go from the top. Being born in 2009 into your average family of
1. American
2. Nintendo console-owning
3. Nerds™,
the first video game I ever got to play was New Soup Wii. This did irreparable damage to my brain as a wee lad. Whoops!

Now, as any impressionable young child would, I immediately became incredibly infatuated with That Pesky Plumber and at the ripe age of Three (I Think) I got my very own Nintendo DSi. (i know it had to be when I was at least 3 because i got a matte blue dsi and those came out in mid 2012.) oh yeah and then the year immediately after that I got a 3DS . So the next Mario games I had really played by then were New Soup DS and 3D Land.
I should also mention my father had modded our family Wii, which gave me access to the rest of the Mario library on the console. I didn't put that much time into those though... Except maybe #SuperPaperMario 😄 #Yep #ImAnSPMEnjoyer 🌈
(I also got to play the Wii rerelease of Super Mario All-Stars, which was my first experience with SMB1, 2, USA, and 3)

Now it should be duly noted that after that point I just kind of played whatever Mario games came out after that point. I've kept mostly up-to-date with the mainline games (i still have to play through the RPGs, i know they're rad ESPECIALLY Legend of the 7 Stars) and there was really only a few select games I didn't really get into like New Soup U and Captain Toad

(...though I did eventually get around to NSMBU later, and I'm still playing through it on the Deluxe version. I don't know why I didn't play it before!!! It's still a perfectly inoffensive Mario game!! Maybe it was just stupid child me's attention span lol)

After the release of Super Mario Maker, my memory kinda gets foggy, actually... As far as I know, my Mario hyperfix kind of died down during the late 2010's. It's not like I suddenly hated Mario, but I wasn't crazy into the franchise like before... Really the only thing of note being that I still got the new games during this period like Maker 2 and 3D All-Stars, and I was also an avid fan of SMB35 before they hung Mario by the gallows...
It took a pretty good long while for the hyperfix to come back in full swing... mainly because during this period of time I had actually Gained Sentience and began Thinking On My Own at the age of About Eleven. which, between the Other things that happened in 2020 and whatnot, gave me some time to find some other interests of mine (which i'll detail later on in this page!) ...in the meantime though, I did take the time to do the occasional thing in Mari0 or whatnot, just small interactions with the series, frankly.
2023 really marked the year I got back-back into Mario, mainly because of the announcement and release of Wonder. This game really reignited my love for the series ... not like the metaphorical flame ever actually went out, but it definitely made me dig it out of the back of my brain. I know this because I'm capable of remembering all of this off of the top of my head and I can mostly rattle off Mario lore whenever I'm asked of it. Hi :)

Now I'm gonna be honest with you. Genuinely forgot if there was anything more I was going to touch on. That kinda covers everything I wanted to talk about at least as far as I'm aware. It's also been like, a week since I wrote anything on this page (before I started writing these last 3 paragraphs, all I had was up to Mario being hung.) All I'll say is that I'm not just gonna start rattling off my Mario knowledge here unprompted. Maybe I'll have a chart of my favorite stuff or something ... that sounds cool ...

You've made it to the bottom of the Mario section. Before I immediately jump to what comes next, I'd like to show cool souvenirs of my Mario hyperfix over the years that I have lying around...


This is a photo of my entire Mario plush collection from ...I think 2020? 2021? It's pretty old, that's all I know.

A tier list of every single (mainline and non-mainline, not including the really esoteric ones) Mario game. Made this in early January 2025.
Hi just realized this tierlist didn't have the Mario Artist games as options, but it had Mario Paint what??? This sucks actually wtf


Speaking of really esoteric Mario games, here's My Personal List:tm: of what I'd consider to be the mainline Mario games. Because everyone has one of those, right?
