LuigiMario9
(this page was written by myself, so expect some personal bias and a 1st person format) I joined the main site in early 2013. After failing to create suitable sprites to submit, I turned to making a fan game. It was about a Boo cursed by Kamek or something. After having trouble with the movement engine, VinnyVideo pointed me towards the forums. I joined under the shortened name LuigiM9, but never asked about the game. I was quirky at first because I never bothered to join a message board at first. The first couple of posts I made were pointless and I was still learning the ins and outs of the forums. Soon I started to become a respectable member and made more meaningful posts. Notable things I've done are start three canned projects, tried to join the Charisma team, and here in 2014 joining the wiki.
I picked up my first controller when I was a wee lad of just two years old. I grew up with a SNES, N64, and GCN. Handhelds I had were a GBC, GBA(SP), DS, and DSlite. I was always a Mario fan and had played a little bit of Zelda and Kirby. Some of my fondest memories on the Gamecube are from City Trial (Kirby Air Ride), MarioKart: Double Dash (it's still the best) and Super Smash Bros Melee. Mario Party was the big friendship-ruiner, but it was a heck ton of fun. I still own all of the old consoles and recently got an NES, but my DSlite broke and I traded in the original DS for a 3DS. I still own my Blue DSi and still make flipnotes on it.
