I've visited TMK for a long time... (I remember the first birthday special!) When Deezer set up the message boards, I decided to give 'em a try. I figured that I might as well pick a Mario-related name, and SMRPG was my favorite game at the time, and I liked the idea of a Mushroom living out of it's element, and so things just clicked.
And that, my friends, is the legend of Hinopio's nickname.
