Look at it! Look at it! LOOK AT IT!

It looks like Link is really pissed at Mario, for telling him stupid jokes all day and is a second away from jabbing him with his Master Sword.

You know with the whole bowling pin thing they'd look weird enough without Mario's 5-o'clock shadow and Link's Groose features.

Luigi looks like he's already consumed by spirits.

Dangit, you beat me to it! But yeah, dunno what went wrong..

 

[LeftyGreenMario]

Okay, Luigi expert, some hints!

The eyes and mouth are way too big (generally wide) and the placement of the irises is right in the middle of the eyes, which usually isn't the best spot for Mario Bros.. The gloves are weirdly defined for a cartoon character, not fat and simple like you typically see on Luigi. Nose is huge. Also, the worst thing about it is the mouth, which weirdly has gums

The pasty color of the skin doesn't really help.

The look of GCN Luigi's Mansion Luigi, I never really liked and the remake at least updated his design. Luigi's Mansion Luigi's eyes are too big, too close to each other, and in artwork he's depicted always the same: the lower lid being raise so it always makes him look tense while he's grimacing and his mouth's relatively big for Luigi.

 

[Guy Rocketram]

I think the idea with Luigi's-Mansion-Luigi, is that he'd be more expressive. Not the biggest fan of it, but I don't HATE it.

ok i resign from being luigi expert

I always liked LM1's design for Luigi when he's not tense. He's got just enough roundness in his design that it's... nice. It's not too much like Mario's unlike 64 Era Luigi, who is definitely not my favorite Luigi.

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

I think LM1's thing is just part of being in that transitionary period when they weren't quite sure how (or even whether) to adapt the SNES era art to 3D, instead going more off the N64 era artwork renders. Resulting in him looking generally off, particularly with the wideness of his face.

Anyways, something about THIS render is making me think of Doofenshmirtz and I have no idea why.

Another thing about that Luigi thing, I find it interesting how in that point in development, the ghosts had actual eyes instead of the glowing jack-o-lantern holes they have in the final (and most of development...)

What is up with restaurants in China having nightmare fuel Bootleg Statues.

Don't laugh, Mario's a sophomore in college strapped for cash, he had to make some budget cuts on his appearance for his Astrophysics textbooks

You can even see the eye sockets in the head.

Someone needs to hire a better modeler. TWO UV errors from Mario Kart Double Dash (remember Baby Mario)? And NO ONE noticed?

That close-up is when DK sees a banana.

I've seen these enough that they have loss their effect.

 

[Guy Rocketram]

At first I thought these were tattoos. Imagine getting these permanently marked onto your skin.

Feels like I've time traveled back to 2012.

I've seen uglier Mario tattoos, though, like one where posted earlier in this thread of Mario and Yoshi were swapped. Yeesh.

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

Isn't Wario trollface by default, though?

absolutely ancient memes with shallow mario parody energy.. bro
