OK, time for another update, as I've now managed to get all of the 2016 3DS events done! Aside from a few extra images, finding any advice I might have missed, weird rare circumstance rules and stupid mistakes, those articles are all done now. I still don't quite know what to do about the Plus...
Yes, it really annoys me. Even if they can't all be playable, they should at least bring the other ones along as non-playable characters or something, and give them some suitably Marioy excuse as to why they're not doing whatever it is. Roy's my favourite and he seems to be one of the less...
Yeah, we rarely see anything that isn't generic Mario, platformers or Mario Kart either. We've actually managed to find a fair bit for Mario Kart though, over the years we've found all sorts from badges to bedsheets, clothing, tracks, and a big remote control Bowser. You can really tell that...
I definitely agree with you on that one, particularly the part about 3D art, all of the Mario T-Shirts I have are 2D art, finding stuff with the 3D art on is quite hard. It'd be nice if they branched out a bit on the merchandise too, use a few more characters and items than basically the...
That's a hard question... I'd go for either marshmallow, funky banana, Kinder chocolate, candyfloss or birthday cake, but I can't pick between them.
Edit: I forgot about cherry pie and custard, that'd have to be a contender too.
Not strictly a princess Luigi, but it's a Luigi in a dress so I reckon it counts.

OK, the awards are almost over now, so I'm back to working my way through the 2016 3DS articles again, and I've now finished five of the Plus Event articles, but I've now encountered a decision that needs to be made about categorising the Plus Events, as while they need to be included in the...
Hold on, Bowser Jr.'s not the only one who didn't get new artwork (yet, at least)- Donkey Kong hasn't either! I knew I recognised it, and I've just been able to place it- it's from the Rio 2016 3DS boxart (above Mario's head), and appears when you boot up the game as well. We don't appear to...
If you time it right, you can perform a trick off of the top of the stairs just inside DS Luigi's Mansion in Mario Kart 7, and in this artwork of Bowser, he's actually bending the circle:
Well, the awards are over now, so here is my presentation, in case anyone missed it/just because it makes sense to compile all of my art in one place. And I'd also like to say thank you to everyone who signed up to appear in it and liked/commented about it, I really appreciate it. :D
This next...
On the whole, I quite like Rosalina, she is one of my favourite characters and I could safely say she's within the top twenty. I'm not a huge fan of her backstory, but I do prefer her calmer personality from the Galaxy games.
Regarding the Odyssey concept artwork, I really don't like it, it...
I'm not a fan of the DS games, I've never really got on with the control scheme and as such haven't played much of them, but I do like the Wii ones. I haven't completed any of them 100% but we have completed the main story in Wii and U, and we're nearly there on U. I'd like to see the series go...
Getting in the questions, no matter how similar, is probably the most important thing to do, I know there are some similar questions in there because I know that there are a few which refer to Peach's ponytail, one which asks if she has one and the other asks if both she and Daisy have them. The...
I say that, and then I do something else. Because the forums were down yesterday, I couldn't access the images people sent me as reference for my presentation, and hence couldn't work on it, so I decided to do this instead:
It's based on something I saw while I was on holiday, it's a 3D layered...
I quite like it and think I'll get to used to it pretty quickly, I haven't played around with absolutely everything yet, but it does seem there are some good new features. Also, as a small thing, I really like that the Like button is now at the bottom of posts, it always used to annoy me on the...
Time for another update, which I'm sure I had already posted one of these pieces already, but anyway, here we are. First, here's a couple of pieces of general art:
And of course, my entry for the Art Contest, which some of you have probably seen already, but I should post it here anyway:
She's...
I'm off on holiday for a week from tomorrow, so I'll only be able to visit here at occasional random intervals. I'll still be in and out in the unlikely case that anybody needs me, but I'll be back fairly soon. :)
Edit (29.7.19): Back again now, I'm just finishing playing catch-up to everything...
I wouldn't be sure about cutting absolutely everything you mentioned down, things like the Off Waves can obviously go and Alph can be merged, but I don't really think saying that these articles "waste editors' time" can be used as an argument, people have voluntarily chosen to write and work on...
Looks good, I had already seen it when you posted it! And that's fine, the navigation template order appears to be alphabetical but I agree that the in-game order is easier to follow, so stick with that. Thanks again for the help!
What makes you think that? I can't say I've seen anything to support it myself. I reckon, given what most of these kind of mobile games do, they'll probably just keep adding to the list of characters in future updates, which they'll either keep adding to the random obtainment system (If you can...
That Sticker Star version of the slide theme reminded me of It's a Small World.
What about this version of the slide theme? It's my favourite personally, it's not exactly like the original bu tit shares some similarities.
Well done, you've done a really good job on those! Thanks for the help fixing them up, that's three down and seven to go, at least until the Tokyo games are released. Regarding that second part, I presume that you're referring to the links on the navigation template like Rival Showdown: Birdo...
Smaller (and only slightly late!) update this time, just three pieces:
...And I will remember to get a scan of that notebook cover at some point, as well as another one I've just realised that I haven't posted yet, so hopefully you'll see that in the not-to-distant future (As well as some other...
At the moment, I've completely finished 2008 DS and 2012 3DS (bar obscure things such as badges requirements, trivial story mode details, emblems, etc.), as well as two articles for 2012 Wii, a decent chunk of 2008 Wii and just shy of half of 2016 3DS. I do have some stuff on my user page...
OK, time for another update. Another change in the home console access situation has meant that regular article creation is now going to end up pushed back to at least June, but I did manage to make a bunch more last month so I'm still getting somewhere with them. I'm slowly getting through the...
A few updates since last time, with a complete reworking of Mario & Sonic now I've played each a lot recently.

2. Mario Kart Wii
3. Mario Kart 7
4. Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

7. Super Mario Kart
Mario Party
1. Mario Party 9...
Hi again... over six months later, oops. I keep forgetting this thread exists, and I've been trying to update it for about a month, but I've been having some issues with the links which I have only just been able to resolve. I have still been drawing stuff, I've just forgotten/been unable to...
While I wouldn't be particularly interested in it personally, I feel like a 3D Mario Maker in the sandbox style could be plausible. You could start with a blank area and then build up structures and terrain, add obstacles, place enemies and hide collectables. You could have different themes...
In no specific order, I'd say that for me some of the biggest disappointments have been:
*Mario Party 8- I heard a lot of good things about it before we got it (A lot of people saying it's the best Mario Party game or at least one of the better ones), but to me it really didn't live up to them...
