Menu palette transitions in Golf: U.S. Course for the Famicom Disk System. Posting this here so I can anchor it for elsewhere, but it's still pretty interesting to see how those fades worked in the early days.

DAISY WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO YOUR BOYFRIEND

This image always throws me for a loop. Because of the pipe frame and the dodgy render quality, I always think "Oh that's from Mario Kart 64," but then I remember Koopa Troopa's not even in Mario Kart 64.

Early iteration of the "Real Time" head, most (in)famously used in Mario Teaches Typing 2 (and the memes it's spawned), though the SM64 one is likely a heavily downscaled version of it. This manages to be even creepier than the final one with those unbeveled eye holes; though the dark shading on...

OFFICIAL MERMAID PEACH LET'S GOOOOOOO!

So judging by this VS. System flyer, there is an official design for a female version of Mario.

Yeah, and I'm wanting to change the classification of said actors into Big Boos proper (ie, the ones that in most cases are standard enemies), the "Boss Boo" who wasn't given a consistent localization or design, and King Boo proper - who was given a redesign intended for "Boss Boo" that combined...

Which one?

That is because a majority of the names are in-game regardless of language. Every guidebook has treated them as a singular entity across languages, though, from what I can tell, as does Mario Portal. For what it's worth, "Oyakata" has specific connotations that indicate there being just one...

Fair warning, this is gonna be a long one; see this discussion and this draft page. :boo: We all know how many iterations the famed "Big Boo" enemy/boss has gone through. But what if I told you that mixed in with those, is an individual recurring character we've completely overlooked? This...

Why is Link's hair model traced, though? Everything else is wonderful.

I HAD to put it in quotes, I will not take seriously people who (jokingly or otherwise) impersonate politicians.

I can't believe they cut Marilyn Monroe from Odyssey

Actually that looks pretty cool

Normal: But Bowser's body parts are separate graphics, so:

Edit summaries, but I find it amusing

Reminder that someone at Nintendo EAD thought during Sunshine's development that this was a perfectly reasonable design for an enemy/misc creature:

Cut 'em some slack, that was pre-VeggieTales era CG there

Well if we're playing that game

Donkey Kong Land in G Major

You know, just in case you thought he could do that.

And here I am wondering why don't we see Thwomp stampedes in other games.

If you look at the underside textures you'll see the devs intended her as female (and had some very weird priorities)

Somehow resembling both one of the ugliest mammals and one of the prettiest at the same time.

Just the fact that SEGA once held the rights to Donkey Kong is baffling, considering the decade after especially.
