List of MarioWiki fads and Recurring Jokes
From Users Wiki
On the Super Mario Wiki, many fads and recurring jokes appear. Sadaharu had a knack for making popular fads. Here is a list.

[edit] Cheese
Pehaps the biggest fad of all (except for Sprite Comics), Cheese is a real-world food item. It was started by HK-47 by accident. After that, Hk created a category for users that liked cheese and on the category's talk page they posted countless pictures of cheese. Paper Jorge kept yelling at them but after deleting the page, HK-47 yelled at him. However, Plumber saved the text of the Cheese Craze '07, and it can still be seen today. Upon hearing the news, Wayoshi lectured Hk strongly. However, the cheese fad did not die.
Cheese is commonly seen in a userbox made by Hk ("This user loves CHEESE!"). Cheese was once nominated for Featured Article status by Plumber, but due to the articles small size, it failed. It is commonly assumed that the reason that the chesse article was created was because of the fad, but that didn't stop it from being worthy of an article. Blitzwing once use the proposals to drive to get rid of the article, but it failed.
[edit] HEAD ASPLOSION!
On the Forums, Smiddle once posted "HEAD ASPLOSION" (a reference to the homestar runner) on the forums, followed by Xzelion's "What?". This process repeated several times. When Smiddle left, Plumber continued in his place, though his posts were later deleted. There was later a block to long quote boxes.
Since there is no such block on the Userpedia forums, HyperToad and 1337Yoshi once revived on the Userpedia forums, although not all of the posts are exactly the same, as some have big text or saying "wut"?
[edit] Shy Guys' Mask
On the forums, Plumber stated in the topic about "What's under a Shy Guy's Mask?" that he knew, however before he could say what it was, he was mugged and killed by a group of Shy Guys, collectively called the Shy Guy Mafia. Other users also tried to say, though they were killed and later came back as zombies. The fad led to it being in a few signatures and being mentioned randomly, until it finally ended when Plumber revealed that Wapeach's face was under their mask. He was then killed with duct tape.
[edit] Mr. _
The Mr. is an alter-ego some users have. 3Dejong and Master Crash created the fad, and it is thought that it was inspired by Super Paper Mario, which contained Mr. L, and alter-ego of Luigi. Apparently, it was popular with users and they started making them.
Known "Mr."s are: Mr. S, Mr. KT, Mr. Pi, Mr. A, Ms. A, Mr. B, Mr. KPS, Mr. 2.0 and Mr SG.
[edit] Tails Doll
The Tails Doll is a character in the Sonic the Hedgehog series who has only made one appearance-in the internet, it became a fad that the Tails Doll stalked people and was a killer. The fad found its way on the MarioWiki with the help of HK-47. HK-47 used the Tails Doll as his sprites at various times and put various pictures of it on his page. Soon other users followed his steps until the fad died.
[edit] Snufit Ball
“ALL HAIL SNUFIT BALL, ALL HAIL SNUFIT BALL”
—Blitzwing
The Snufit Ball was an item used by the Snufit in Super Mario 64. It's article was created by Kelt, but was later deleted for being too minor, but it has been brought up again many times in arguments about many other articles that don't seem to be important enough, such as Cheese, notably it has been brought up many, many times by Blitzwing, who says things such as "LET'S RECREATE SNUFIT BALL AGGRESSIVLY" many times on both the Chatroom and on the Forum. Currently, the status of the article remains as Deleted, while other articles it's deletion was used against still stand. Plumber has stated that he thinks Snufit Ball should come back, if it means that the cheese article can stay. Fly Guy 2 has recreated the article many times but Jorge keeps stopping him.
The Fad even has an Official Wiki.
[edit] LOL Cats
LOL Cats (Also known as I Love Meow) are pictures of cats found on various sites, these pictures will usually have humorous subtitles in bad grammar (the most notable one perhaps being "I can has Cheezburger?"). There are many different websites with these pictures, but under different names. LOL Cats are a big fad on the Mariowiki, And can usually be found on Userpages and as forum sigs. Recently, the fad of the cats has died in the MarioWiki however some users still continue. www.ilovemeow.com is a website of LOLCats and was made by the creator of Charlie the Unicorn, Jason Steele.
[edit] Pirate Goomba
Pirate Goomba (or, most known by the line "Pirate Goomba is a Pirate Goomba") is a line used by a lot of people in the MarioWiki and is considered a fad. Back before Mario Party 8's release, Fg was creating an article about Pirate Goomba (Actually, the article was about the Captain Goomba that ruled over the generic Pirates Goomba). However, he only managed to write "Pirate Goomba is a Pirate Goomba."
The page was deleted by KPH for being too short. But then, suddenly, Blitzwing started making fun of that line and soon, other people did. It eventually lead to the banning of all stubs on the wiki, which has lead to outrage by many. Recently, Fly Guy 2 spammed by editing the Pirate Goomba page and adding the "Pirate Goomba is a pirate Goomba" line again, however was stopped by Cobold. Marioiscool is sometimes notable for creating an article for Pirate Goombaa humorously an upgrade of the normal Pirate Goomba. How he knows about the fad is unknown but its possible he's actually another user.
Also, a Wiki game has been recently released based on the fad known as Pirate Goomba: Spawn Chronicles. In it, it is revealed that they are actually a "species of alien carried over from the Sonic the Hedgehog series". It should not be taken seriously though as it is just based on the popular fads.
Shroobario has even made a Pirate Goomba Wiki.
[edit] Landmaster
The Landmaster is a minor fad, appearing on Userpedia. It was started by Master Lucario. It began with Auramaster, followed by the Crash Master, then the Bloodmaster, and several others followed.
[edit] Sonic form
Sonic form is a fad which involves users having edited versions of Sonic characters as alternate forms. It is a popular fad, although some users are greatly annoyed by it, while some users appreciate it. The creation of Sonic Wiki encouraged many users to have Sonic forms.
Note: Some users on the sheet to the right had a Sonic form as their original sprites such as SonicMario and Xpike. And thus should not be counted as part of the fad
[edit] Posh/Poſh and British Accent
Possibly one of the best-known fads, Posh was a smiley created by Uniju. He consisted of a smiley face with a top hat and monicle. However, this simple-enough joke becam a phenomenon- soon, users began writing in a strange British accent called "Posh-Speak". For exmple, "Speak in your old voice, because it's most un-Posh indeed" becomes "Fpeak in thy old tongue, sor in be moſt un-Poſh indeed." This phrase in fact became famous because of Plumber, who became the "Great Posh Smiley".
[edit] MY GLASSES ARE TOO BIG TO FIT ON MY FACE
MY GLASSES ARE TOO BIG TO TO FIT ON MY FACE, (or often abbreviated as MGATBTFOMF due to being very long) is a fad that started after a user of the same name joined the Mariowiki. All the user ever did was edit his/her userpage with random images and text, all that were relevent to the statement: MY GLASSES ARE TOO BIG TO FIT ON MY FACE THAT IS WHY I CANNOT SEE. The most notable image was of Bowser wearing giant glasses that has since become his/her avatar. Eventually RAP blocked this user for having such an innapropriate username, but many users thought the line was very funny, and soon after it followed into a fad, including many users saying the line and having the picture of Bowser with gigantic glasses on their pages or on the forums or in signatures.
