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

At first I thought Mario was gonna go through some sailor moonish transformation.
 
I've seen uglier Mario tattoos, though, like one where posted earlier in this thread of Mario and Yoshi were swapped. Yeesh.

A bit off topic but this kind of reminds me of this story, and I don't know where else I can tell it.
I once saw some guy at a water park (about in his 20s seemed to have a few of his kids with him) who had a full arm tattoo, at first I didn't think much of it until I examined it and I realized it was a full arm Mario tattoo featuring super well drawn depictions of a large amount of the main cast. Always thought that was cool. Wonder where that guy is now?

also I wouldn't get tattoo for Mario. don't like tattoos at all.

I...what?
that's what I call a religious experience
 
I think his mustache ate his hat.

I've seen the video of where this Mario model came from on the ShittyMario Twitter (it's animated poorly too) and I don't think it's safe to link it here because it's intensely uncomfortable.

So have a single image of a terrible Mario model instead.
 
I don't think Peach, Bowser, and Paper Mario were exactly what people had in mind when they asked for more MaRPG characters in Mario Kart.

It would've been fine but... the mouth... it's apparently a ventriloquist toy?

"Oh no... I can fit on this dime!!!"

And.... who'd want to wear this as a t-shirt? Barring the really weird subject matter, of all things, the placement's not even good.

And this... well.... it's just fabric with Mario printed on, huh? It reminds me of those inflatable clowns kids punched... don't subject Mario to that if you're mad, thank you!

OH MY, what did the manufacturers did to Larry? Larry, I thought you were one of the less neglected Koopalings, what happened to the hair gel you got from Bowser???

I know you don't want to see these kinds of creatures in abandoned alleyways, but it's not like it's better in brightly lit places that I assume is well off just because of the cars nearby.
 
This has probably been posted here before, but some early concepts for SMBSS had it a lot more along the aesthetic of Captain N.

It seems that "King Koopa" never outgrew this phase.
Otherwise, we have a Snifit riding a Birdo, a Shy Guy behind Luigi, two hideous mutant Trouters, two Don Bluthian Hooptsers, a pelican Albatoss carrying a buff red Bob-Omb, a football player Hammer Bro, an otherwise-normal but somewhat fat Beezo, and a bunch of weird mutants and other random stuff that are probably just backlogged unused designs from other DiC projects. Given the necklace, ol' purple there may be Wart.

Personally, I find this interesting. Aside from Captain N, it makes me think of some old preliminary artwork for Sonic SatAM that similarly barely resembles the final product.

he just got a haircut dont judge him!
also wow i got a new headcanon thanks to this. larry just keeps trying out new hairstyles but very consistently comes back to his mohawk within hours
 
Well metal really took off during the 80's, so the time period this was made in also helps.
