The RPGs in general, outside Smash their original motifs have barely gotten any outside love. And even Smash is weirdly selective about it, often opting to just port the originals for most included songs. Like most elements, those games tend to be liberal with musical references to other Mario...
Oh man forgotten/neglected Mario characters are my specialty.
The entirety of the Beanbean Kingdom deserves to be acknowledged outside Superstar Saga and a few subsequent M&L games. Such a fun location full of fun characters. I understand not bringing Fawful or Cackletta back in a story driven...
Since it's been a minute since I posted new things here (outside the Year of Luigi 2 image I just posted) here's a dump of some things I've made over the past year.
3D Models (late 2021 - 2022)
You can view these models in-browser (as well as the Paper Luigi diorama) on my Sketchfab page.
As far as I'm concerned, she is. And she's dating Pauline.
No, they just are female. They were assigned male but they aren't male. Describing trans people based on what they were assigned at birth, rather than the person they have become, is a regressive way of doing things.
Can't believe it's been 10 years. Well not to the day yet. But it's 2023 now and I couldn't resist remaking this image! Now with even more Luigis! I put all these into a 3D scene for this render and posed Giant Dreamy Luigi myself, as well as modelling the text.
The same thing i hope for every year Pinky, a new M&L or classic style PM game, some new thing related to those, or more deep cuts and character revivals (especially if it includes the RPGs) added to a Mario spinoff roster
these days I feel like less is likely than I used to. I used to...
The most recent Owl House episode had this little reference and very rarely have two of my hyperfixations come together this perfectly ❤️
It was even confirmed to be an intentional Paper Mario reference in their Q&A panel ^^
Also Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I honestly think they were onto something giving those two games explicit post-game content (ie, saving after the final boss and that save file being then set after the conflict is resolved). But sadly they just abandoned the idea after that. Refighting...
Peach, Toad and Cranky Kong have front row seats to Mario's public execution at the hands of DK, Bowser and Luigi interact in a way that could not possibly be heterosexually explained, Peach wields a fucking axe, Kiddy and Swanky Kong exist, Chris Pratt attempts a Martinet-esque yell
Oh also...
honestly it feels a bit insulting that they took Toadsworth's clothes and recolored them to give regular colored Toads, but didn't include the man himself. If he was here, these other guys could work as like, his students or something. But having them and not him reeks of them trying to have a...
It's not a good Mario movie, but on its own merit, it's alright. Has an interesting premise, primitive visual effects, is an acid trip. The primitive vfx actually is a bit nostalgic.
I'm one of those people you really have to be exceptionally bad for me to call you a bad movie, so other than it...
Yeah, Miyamoto answered with Toad as his least favorite Mario Kart character in an interview. This doesn't mean it's his least favorite character overall, and there's factors like stats he could have also had in mind. That's why I kept the question Mario Kart focused. His favorite according to...
I'm honestly excited. I don't think any of the characters look or sound bad at all (i guess with the exception of Toad because of my own biases, but even Toad is more bearable than usual, which is something I never thought I'd say)
Bowser is easily the highlight so far though. And I love the...
I never said that, I just said it's kind of a shame they went that route. After all the movie may be primarily focused on the main series, but the main series also had a focus primarily on gameplay, so there wasn't as great a need to make character designs like that. A movie doesn't have...
I mean previous Illumination movies have had variety in background character models (just look at the people populating the towns in the Despicable Me films, The Lorax, etc) so I don't think that's an excuse. I just want to feel like the Toads are a cohesive and rich society and if they all look...
I was really holding out hope that being a movie where worldbuilding is more important, they'd allow the Toads to have more diverse appearances like tall, short, male, female, old, young, hairstyles, etc. Pretty disappointed Nintendo still kept their foot down on not allowing that for the movie...
Last night I dreamed that a leaked screenshot of Mario in a tux from the Mario movie appeared online. Since I was disappointed it was just a dream, I drew roughly what he looked like in the dream
I think Fawful was a great foil to Bowser. He gets on Bowser's nerves and basically is the opposite kind of villain. Bowser uses his innate strength and physical abilities while Fawful is a pipsqueak so he uses machinery and trickery instead. I don't think a game that's a platformer at heart...
I prefer Metal Mario, at least the design from SM64, as just a power-up. If they want a "Metal Mario" type separate character, Robo Mario is RIGHT THERE with a far cooler design and even lore connecting him to E. Gadd, and they just go with "the power-up but separate"
Like imagine this guy...
His last appearance, discounting remakes and rereleases, is Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. I hope Nintendo brings him back soon but it looks like they explicitly want the Toad species to not have visual variation besides color and in very specific cases outfit. It's a wonder Toadette survived.
On...
I'm going to post more stuff related to my presentation in the near future (unless i forget in which case rip) but before I go to sleep I wanted to drop the secret photo that's hidden inside my presentation for anyone who hasn't found it. It's spoilered below, just in case you want to find the...
I've merged your post for you. Few things, don't double post, especially don't septuple post. If there are several people you need to reply to, do it in the same post. Just press the +Quote button and it will add that quote to your existing reply. However, this thread is from 2014, and as...
I need some feedback about APNG compatibility with users on this site. I know Google Chrome supports it, but I'm not sure how many other browsers do.
If you can see the animation in the below image, can you do me a favor and ❤ Love react to this post. If you cannot see the animation, react with...
That reminds me, I'm concerned about how the Mario Bros.' origins will be handled in the upcoming movie. Based on what we know about the cast, it's looking like it will start out with arcade scenarios such as Donkey Kong and Wrecking Crew before leading them into the Mushroom Kingdom. But that...
