replacement

[crystalking]

If mario was never created, who would you have as the main character?

 

[crystalking]

yes

 

[ChrisAlassal]

I can't see anyone else working as the main character of the Mario series.

 

[Storm Yoshi]

One of the big 8 would take his place.

 

[Smiddle]

Luigi, maybe...

In Soviet Russia, accordion plays YOU!!

But without Mario, they never would've made that green palette swap they call Luigi.

Weren't they considering Popeye at one point?

Yes. Mario's character was actually based on him.

Very loosely.

They just made up some guy.

Red hat because Shigeru was not a good hair designer.
Blue overalls to make the arm movements more noticeable.

Low-tech boosts creativity, kind of...

 

[Dodoman]

George Lopez.

 

[Black Ninjakoopa]

Yoshi.I don't know!

 

[Sir Grodus]

This question pretty much has no answer...

It would have made somewhat more sense to ask who would you have replace Mario as the main character.

 

[Croshi]

Luigi. Then, of course, the Luigi of the Mario series would be... Mario?

 

[Smiddle]

Luigi. Then, of course, the Luigi of the Mario series would be... Mario?

And Mario would be "Luigi"

Gadzooks.

If they had never created Mario, the Mario series would not be here. It'd be a weird spin-off of some movie dude.

No, it could be some random guy with a grey cap 'n shirt and yellow overalls and black shoes and red hair named "Adriano" *shudder*
