    Do you know why Mario's face is so different in the reflection in one of the Mario Kart Double Dash renders? My guess is it that it's from a rendering technique that requires a 2D image. Metals require something to reflect off of to look good in a rendering environment. This requires use of an environment map, a 2D image placed around the model (to save time making a complete scene). I think what happened is that they were using an environment map meant for another render and maybe they decided to change the facial expression at the last second. But this is my best guess, but it makes more sense to me than anything else.

    BTW if you look at this render closely, particularly in the shell's reflection, it doesn't seem like Mario and Luigi are even on the kart. I'm pretty sure it's another environment map thing.

    Hey, I was the one who taught LGM that metals needed something to reflect off to look good! I've discovered that after trial and error, rendering a heavily metallic character and realizing that, oh my god the metals look awful and very flat looking. After looking it up online about why my metals look flat and lifeless, that's when I discovered it, so I slapped a huge dome with a generic texture (I think it was a texture envmap from Electrodrome) encompassing the render and the result was far better. That's one method of doing it: the other is to apply an environment map material on the model.

    It was this render that made me realize metal properties.

    Also, if you know about Metal Mario's trophy from Super Smash Bros. Melee, you can see what LGM is talking about. Metal Mario's trophy uses the Super Mario World stage as its envmap, even though the stage itself isn't present in the background. I think that's really interesting choice of envmap for the trophy, honestly, and I remember it intrigued LGM and I when we were younger and didn't know modeling stuff. This is the envmap in question

    I feel like more and more people are playing SPM just for Dimentio and/or Mr. L. It makes me a little sad...

    Then again, the whole entire game is surprisingly deep and dark for a Mario game.

    I'd strongly argue that its story is not deep. Its story is as shallow as a puddle.

    Having a more developed plot with twists and all of that doesn't mean it's deep. I'd argue something like Tales of Symphonia having a deeper plot, as it dives into racism, two countries that have their power dynamic thrown out of whack, and questioning the typical prophecy plot. Or something like Final Fantasy 7 having anti-capitalist stuff.

    Wait that's a bad thing that people play Super Paper Mario just for the stylish Luigi that wants to have "@you"?
