Introduction

Hey hey, this is JackpotJordan from Malta typing (don't get confused; my original name was JORDAN DEBONO). Just a few things about me: I am from the Republic of Malta; I love almost all of Nintendo's series and astronomy and I have no pets. Read on to get to know me better...

Games, Consoles and Comments

Here I'm listing the consoles I own, the Mario games I have on them, comments and a completion check. The following comments are based on my personal opinion, so to another gamer, it might be a different story. I suggest, if you want a game or console, don't hesitate buying it because of others. Just get it. Reviews are only there as a guidance, nothing more.

Legend:

- Finished 90% or over. - Not completely finished.

Wii U

High Definition is awesome, the GamePad is OUTSTANDING, Miiverse is ingenious.... is there anything to fault about this mega machine? Are you still deciding to get one? JUST GET ONE and you won't be disappointed! While some of you overly critical gamers might suggest it isn't next-gen, ask yourselves this. What major leap did the PS3 have over the PS2? Prettier graphics and smoother online. What major leap does the Wii U have over the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360? New gameplay mechanics, Near Field Communication, a social network just for gaming, prettier graphics, up to 5 (or 6) multi-player experiences, many awesome 3rd party exclusive titles (even though Nintendo's titles would be enough) and MANY MORE. Unfortunately, Wii U, like Wii, is one of those things which you have to experience to admire. Be wise and save up for this 8th gen gem!

Games	Comments	Score
Nintendo Land	More than just your average minigame collection. Made to perfection!	9/10
New Super Mario Bros. U	A solid title but reusing the same graphics, music and overall design is getting a little old now. Otherwise, Challenge Mode and the seamless map are awesome!	8/10
Super Mario 3D World	A nice reboot and good expansion to 3D Land. The graphics are simply amazing! However, nothing will beat the Galaxy games.	9/10
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze	Lovely platformer, but definitely a game the Wii U could've done without. I don't mind the fact the GamePad isn't used at all, because Donkey Kong's virtual fur makes up for it. However, the games release time and genre make the whole experience a little less enjoyable.	7/10

Nintendo 3DS

Simply the best of Nintendo to date. 3 dimensions, 3D video and camera, circle pad, updates, internet, eShop, touchscreen, mic (placed in a better position), graphics, Street and SpotPass, friend list... the list is endless! A totally new and revamped handheld actually puts the DSi to shame. I got this as soon as it came out thus meaning I was part of the Ambassador Program which was an extra plus. Any and every gamer must get this.

Games	Comments	Score
Super Mario 3D Land	Great game, but levels could have been longer.	9/10
Mario Kart 7	Best MK ever produced. I loved everything apart from the Gyro Control. I thought it would feel more like the Wii version.	9/10
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games	Regained my interest in the series. Dream Events could've been used though.	8/10
New Super Mario Bros. 2	Gameplay and the million coin inclusion is great. That background fuzziness because of the 3D effect is a major (but the only) flaw in the game. Levels were long but there weren't enough of them.	7/10
Luigi's Mansion 2	Ingenious puzzles and secrets. However the story is extremely repetitive, and online should've been scrapped for some more levels in Secret Mine. Otherwise, a nice addition to my collection.	8/10

Wii

The Wii, although my favourite home console, is not my favourite console as a whole. I'm not quite sure, I just prefer handhelds I guess. I got it as soon as it came out. Don't get me wrong, although not being my overall favourite, it does have better games than the handhelds. I go on it at least twice a week to do the community polls, judge some Miis and watch the occasional Nintendo Network video. Although on weekends and holidays I try to fit in an hour or two of gaming. On the whole though, I don't regret one bit getting this revolution in gaming tech.

Games	Comments	Score
Super Mario Galaxy	This game and it's sequel fell from heaven.	10/10
Super Mario Galaxy 2	Praise the heavens once again.	10/10
New Super Mario Bros. Wii	A great remake but the DS version is better.	8/10
Mario Kart Wii	Fabulous...I never touched the Nunchuck or classic controller with this game.	9/10
Mario Party 8	Great game with awesome minigames. Graphics are a bit stiff though.	8/10
Mario Party 9	Great graphics. A well-finished project. Heavily relies on luck though.	8/10
Donkey Kong Jungle Beat	Not bad, although I don't really play the Donkey Kong series. It never inspired me to buy the Kongo Bongos.	7/10
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games	DS version was much better. Somehow the motion controls put it down.	6/10
Super Smash Bros. Brawl	Super master piece; second only to the Mario Galaxies.	9/10

Nintendo DS (Lite)

The one and only DS is just awesome. I never managed to get the DSi or XL but the original and Lite are both mine, although I sold the original to get the Lite, which to this day I regret. Nintendo were very right by stating that double the screens meant double the fun! Having said this, the only good games that came out on this gem were Mario, Pokémon and LEGO© series games. This was probably due to the fact that graphics were considerably poor. But this still doesn't get in the way of the touchscreen, mic and overall uniqueness.

Games	Comments	Score
Super Mario 64 DS	One of the best 3D worlds imaginable, although judging jumps was very difficult.	8/10
New Super Mario Bros.	I bought this game thinking it was an original, not a near-perfect remake.	9/10
Mario Kart DS	Before MK Wii and 7 came out, this game was to die for.	8/10
Mario Party DS on the R4	Great use of the touchscreen, pity I didn't buy the original.	8/10
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time on the R4	Boring from beginning to where I stopped playing it.	5/10
Yoshis Island DS on the R4	Very samey. My fault though as I unlocked the museum using cheats.	5/10
WarioWare: Touched! on the R4	Hours of fun, pity I didn't download or buy any other games from this series.	8/10
Donkey Kong Jungle Climber on the R4	Lots of fun until the boss levels come along.	6/10
Diddy Kong Racing DS on the R4	Quite good for a Kong game, but the MK series will always be better.	7/10
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games	Best sports game I've played so far, excluding the Mario Karts.	8/10
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games on the R4	One of my least favorite games. Maybe I didn't give it enough time, not sure.	5/10

Virtual Console

These old fashioned games don't mean much to me as I never played them when I was young. I'm used to the newer, better graphic games. The only Virtual Console games I will ever get will be because they're free (or because they're simply must-get classics). Even so I will still list and comment about them although I will only rate these games out of five as none of them would exceed this.

Games	Comments	Score
Super Mario Bros.	The best from the worst.	5/5
Mario and Yoshi	Addicting if there's absolutely nothing else to play	3/5
NES Open Tournament Golf	Hard to remember when there's so much else.	1/5
Wrecking Crew	Not too bad if the controls weren't that perplexing.	2/5
Donkey Kong Jr.	A worthy competitor but has no cool glitch to accompany it.	4/5
Mario Kart Super Circuit	Not too bad but overall quite disappointing for a MK series game.	3/5
Yoshi's Island Super Mario Advance 3	A simple platformer, nothing special.	3/5
Mario vs. Donkey Kong	Quite surprising... reminds me of a standard DS game.	3/5
WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania	Like the one above; very surprising. Better than Super Mario Bros, I have to say.	5/5
Wario Land 4	Not the best platformer I've played.	2/5
Donkey Kong	Pretty good actually. I can see why it reached mass glory back in the days.	5/5
Dr Mario	I hate these puzzles. Only got it because it was on discount.	1/5

Other Info About Me And My Likes

Gaming

Nintendo is by far my favourite gaming company because, in my opinion, they have the most experience since they've been around at the beginning of the video game industry. I was born in 1999 so I don't know much about PANASONIC© and SEGA©. But I do know quite a bit about SONY© and MICROSOFT©. Here are my opinions about the last two together with Nintendo.

NINTENDO©

In my opinion, Nintendo are awesome! They tend to go for games which are non-violent but fun at the same time. Their consoles are complex yet well thought out. They focus on gameplay, and for me, gameplay is very important as your experience has to be enjoyable, not depressing like all those 16/18+ FPS games. Also, Nintendo are owners of some of the greatest and most successful game series in history, an example is our long time favourite: Mario. Unfortunately and fortunately, Nintendo is moving to suite a wider variety of gamers (Wii U is the prime example), so 16/18+ death games are slowly making their way on to them. So long as Nintendo continue making first party games though, I'm more than fine!

SONY©

I hope no true Sony lover will read this, but then again it's a chance for them to gain fresh ideas. Always in my personal opinion, Sony are truly copycats of Nintendo. The PS Move is a poor version of the Wii. I mean c'mon, synchronization is needed after every game mode you choose. The PS Vita is no better. We all know where the touchscreen came from, and the fact that it can act like a second screen for the PS4 like the Wii U was designed is just a huge slap in the face. I'm not telling Sony not to utilize the latest tech, but just not to copy. For example, their touchpanel was a nice touch (get it), and the Xbox SmartGlass is a good alternative to second screen gameplay. Apart from this, the selection of games for consoles is very narrow. You barely see a decent 3, 7 or 12+ game for sale. Just first person shooters, first (and third) person shooters everywhere. And the odd sports title I suppose. Overall, Sony is my least favourite company from the 3 ,although please note this doesn't include all their other non-gaming products.

MICROSOFT©

Microsoft isn't as bad as Sony although their selection of games and gameplay certainly is no better. They're not as bad as they're not hot on the pace of creating new consoles and advertising them, they're not copycats and, let's face it, if it wasn't for Microsoft, gaming wouldn't be as good as it is today. I don't really have much against them, after all my first ever console was the original XBOX. So as quickly as I started my criticism for them I'm going to end it.

TV, Movies and Music

Over here I will talk about my favourite programs, movies and music. I will not talk about Mario cartoons or movies (not really my favourites) so if you're here to read about them, I suggest you skip this paragraph. First up is television.

Yoshi model animation from Super Smash Bros.

TV

I basically watch three channels on the telly; Discovery Science©, Disney XD©,Cartoon Network© and Ginx TV©. Apart from theThe Gadget Show©,I can't really tell you any other names of the shows I watch on Discovery Science, but I can tell you the genre: astronomy. Apart from Mario, astronomy is my favourite academic subject. That's why I just love Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. Going on to XD, I like seeing Avengers© and Zeke and Luther©. Finally turning to just animation on Cartoon Network, my favourite shows are Battle Force 5©, Batman©, Young Justice© and my all time favourite, Star Wars: The Clone Wars©! Ginx TV, the world's only international video game dedicated channel needs no introduction as to why I watch it. As you can see my interests are mainly based around tech, astronomy and video games.

Movies

There are so many new movies coming out that its almost impossible to list all my favourite ones. Having said this, there is a dead series which I used to love: The Star Wars Saga©. But what I can tell you is my favourite genre: comedy. Anything with a sense of good, clean humour goes down well for me.

Music

Today's music is very mixed up. It seems the most popular songs have a real catchy beat and tune, but horrible lyrics. I mean, for MTV© to view songs, they have re-edit them to chop off all the swear and/or crude words; that's assuming it's possible to do so as there there are some songs with whole paragraphs of just plain non-sense. My favourite band is probably Coldplay© although they've been a bit too relaxed recently. 30 seconds to Mars© isn't that bad and Bruno Mars as well. (It's a coincidence for both of them to have Mars in their name). That's about it, although if there's a song out there which is not full of bad lyrics, I will probably like it. Apart from these types of music, I love video game music, especially from the Super Mario Galaxy series (what a surprise). And I'm not that bad at humming them either.

Sports and Hobbies

As like the movies section above, there are lots of sports around but in Malta they're abit limited although quite varied. The country's main sport is football but there are other near rivals such as water polo, horse riding, tennis and golf. Funnily enough I never played any of these apart from football. I used to also do karate! Although my current sport is squash. Click the link for a full explanation of the latter. I am currently the second best U13 and U15 squash player in Malta, no joke!

As for hobbies, (apart from gaming), I like table tennis, drama and singing (definitely not dance!), piano, arts and crafts and obviously editing articles! I play table tennis at my dutrina (where we learn about the Bible), drama and singing at Masquerade and piano lessons with a private tutor. I used to be a part of my Naxxar parish choir, and I also used to attend arts and crafts lessons at Art Academy. But when my voice broke, I had to stop singing, and when I couldn't handle O'Level preparation in Art, I stopped that as well.

The Knowledge Sector

In this section of my userpage, I will be teaching those patient learners about two of my favourite subjects: Astronomy and my native language Maltese. The knowledge I'm about to share with you should be treated as info on WIKIPEDIA©, mistakes are guaranteed as this is only written by one person. But still, if you're bored and what to feel as if you're doing something useful with your time, please read on...

Astronomy

Astronomy is a vast subject, so vast it puts all other subjects to shame by how little information they can provide. This is why astronomers study different sectors and features of space. Some examples are our Solar System, suns and their planets, asteroids and comets, black holes, E.T., galaxies, Magellanic Clouds, matter... the list never ends. Over here I'll just give small briefings about our solar system, suns and planets and distant galaxies.

Our solar system is made of the Sun, 8 planets, and over 200 moons or satellites. Our Sun (or Sol) is a gigantic ball of gas burning at extremely high temperatures. Our Sol has already burned through half of its life cycle! That leaves us with another billion years or so till we have to move planet.

The 8 main planets are split up into two further groups, the Rocky or Inner Planets and the Gas or Outer Giants. The Inner Planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The Rockies are made up of rock and other solids and a core as it name implies. They have few if no moons at all and are all before the Asteroid Belt which separates the two sets of planets. The Gas Planets are not made of rock, but rather gases and a core. These planets all have rings, are all way larger than the Rockies combined and all have a substantial amount of satellites. Beyond the Gassies is another belt similar to the Asteroid Belt named the Kuiper Belt. In here we find not only asteroids and Dwarf Planets such as Pluto, but also comets. Beyond here is the Oort Cloud which separates our Solar System from Interstellar Space.

Beyond Our Home is interstellar space as mentioned above. Basically its the space which separates one system from another. If you travel for another few trillion years at light speed you will come out of our Milky Way galaxy. From here you will be able to travel from one galaxy to another, our closest one being Andromeda. Once out of a galaxy, you reach an ever growing space. What is beyond this space is unknown. Probably another universe or it could just be nothingness. Your guess is as good as mine!

File:MarioOwnsLuluman.gif

This is where my miniscule space tour will end. I hope you enjoyed it and will continue doing research on this most perplexing and vast subject! If you would like to know anything else, some question or query about this subject, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. I will be more than happy to answer you :-)

Maltese Language

Here I will be teaching you the basics of my native language Maltese. Here are a few interesting facts about it before we actually start. Maltese is only spoken in the Maltese Islands; that is Malta and Gozo; the other 4 are uninhabitable. We use Roman characters to write our letters but we pronounce them like the Arabs do, meaning Maltese is Semitic, although we have a handful of words coming from English and Italian. That's about it. Now lets go on to actually learning the language.

The Alphabet is quite similar to English although it has a few new exclusive additions to it. Here's the Maltese alphabet : Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg, Gg, GHgh, Hh, Hh, Ii, Ieie, Jj, Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn, Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, Ss, Tt, Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Zz, Zz.

Gh and Ie are not typos. They're two letters put together to form one single letter. So in a Maltese crossword, you fill in Gh and Ie in one box and not two separate ones.

Pronunciation-- Its important to realise that these letters have different pronunciations to the English letters. A is pronounced a with your mouth open; B is be; C is the sound of ch in English; D is de; E is e (not ee); F is fe; G is je; G is ge; Gh is ayn (although its silent when speaking it); H is akka (also silent); H is he (not hee); I is e (pronounced in English); Ie is e (in English) and e (in Maltese); J is ye; K is ke; L is elle; M is emme; N is enne; O is o (not oh); P is pe; Q is qe (pronounced using your voicebox); R is re; S is se; T is te; U is oo; V is ve; W is we (not wee); X is the sound of sh in English; Z is ze; Z is tse.

For further info just simply talk to me on my chat page and get all the answers you need. For those who really want to learn Maltese (or even English!!), Malta is the place for you to learn. With sun shining 24/7 and some of the best beaches in Europe, coming here is more of a holiday than a language course!

MarioWiki: What I Do

I'll say it from now, I'm not here to reach Adminship and I'm not here to have fun. While Mainspace edits are seen rarely from me, I normally go for answering Talk Page Proposals and queries. Got a problem? Just ask me, it's what I've decided to do on this Wiki! Due to my many warnings, Mainspace edits are not for me anymore; one more warning and I'm out of here. I also prefer answering Namespace edits and tweaking up my profile. I'm reasonably good at wiki codes and tricks as can be seen on this here profile, so if it's technical problems you have, ask me as well.

I'm not a patroller, sysop or any of those fancy titles. Only Autoconfirmed, so there will be certain things I just can't help you with. But otherwise, I can be just as helpful. These are my "goals" on this wiki, even though they might seem odd to another fellow editor.

Friends

My (very few) friends. If you want to be friends, first we've got to talk in some way, like through talk pages and such about mainspace topics. This way I get to very briefly know you since I don't really believe in just asking to be friends and never talking again.

My other sub-profiles are found only on Icaruspedia and Game & Watch Wiki. My list is split in three, the top being of most importance, the lower being of some importance and the final being of almost no importance at all, more for contacting other users than anything else.
