Hey all.

Man, it's been a very long time since I've posted here. When I did -- and I did it just a few times -- it was with this name, which I actually had to re-register.

Anyway, I thought I'd get some of your guys' input.

I've put together a text file that's a guide to all the Mario characters. All of them. Now, this isn't something that's trying to steal thunder from the Mariopedia, which we all know and love. It's just another resource out there. If you guys want to see it, it's at Gamefaqs.com. There's not too big on direct linking to files, I hear, but you can find it easily enough in the FAQ lists for any of the major Mario games there.

This is where you come in. I'm assuming if anybody can catch the stuff I've missed, it's you guys. You're the fans -- maybe even more so than me.

So what do you say -- check it out and tell me if I missed anything. Please?

Oh yeah, you must be the same guy who mailed us about that. I never finished reading it, but I remember thinking you should cut out some of the more obscure characters (sorry I don't have any examples at the moment).

Why not post it here?

if you mean post on the site, then i totally would if i was asked. if you mean post on the message boards somehow, then i'm didn't know i could post it here. honestly, i want people to read it so i'd post it wherever possible.

I don't see why you couldn't post a link. I'm actually very interested in seeing this thing. ^_^

I looked around on GameFaqs, but I couldn't find it.

Because GameFAQs doesn't like remote linking.

Ohh, I see. I guess I'll just have to keep looking then.

It should't be too hard to find. Just go to the FAQ lists for anything between the original Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario Sunshine. It'll be there.

I disagree with Deezer. If it's going to be a COMPLETE guide, it should have ALL characters, no matter how obscure they may be.

That said, you shouldn't misrepresent your guide. It's missing lots of characters, and is certainly not complete.

Ohh, it's supposed to be a complete guide? Well, good luck.

I guess it's misrepresenting to say I'm doing all characters. I'm actually just doing all selectable/playable characters, all bosses and mid-bosses and any character that basically has a name, rather than just "generic shyguy" or something like that. In the guide, I spell that out specifically.

I do have a long ways to go, but I figured it would be better to post what I have now, which is a lot, and let people enjoy that rather than wait until it's 100 percent complete. Who knows how long that may take. Many guides pop up at GameFAQs in states of partial completion.

But since you bring up that I'm missing a lot of characters -- and I am -- how about tossing a few names out so I can be sure to include them in the next version?
