It’s hard to say exactly how it works because so little is said about it, but based on my understanding, none of them even know that they are Star Children (with Kamek feeling it necessary to time travel to find them, not even being aware Bowser is already one). And if they were to find out, I...

Well yeah, I never said she was very well written or anything. So I guess in that sense Tiara is pointless...🤷‍♂️

Probably not; Waluigi would likely just start trying to poke fun at them (especially Mona if he figures out she has a fan girl crush on Wario).

My biggest one is the entire concept of the Star Children mentioned in Yoshi’s Island DS. Considering that it consists of literally the seven most important characters in the series, and as I’ve put it before, the whole reason for Mario being “super”, you’d think they’d go into much more detail...

If Hooktail’s Castle is anything to go by, which is outright littered with Koopa skeletons, and not all of them spring to life to attack you, it seems to be more of a case by case basis. We can assume that those within the ranks of the Koopa Troop are brought back as undead soldiers due to...

The Cape Feather, and I hate that it’s only been used in Super Mario World and Super Mario Maker (2) levels using the World theme. It’s really powerful, the yellow Cape Mario (and Luigi) gets from it compliments the colors of his usual fit very well, and arguably has the best flight...

Wasn’t Tiara a motivational force for Cappy to join Mario in his quest for Odyssey though? She is his sister after all. She might not be playable or play a large role, but it’s ultimately why Mario gets to use Cappy’s powers in the game. So she’s not pointless, per se. Pink Gold Peach...

I mean, it does have a clear series of events, but nothing that involves having a split timeline like Zelda does. There are a few things of note though: The majority of games in the Yoshi series can be considered a prequel to the Mario series; with the exception of Wooly World and Crafted...

Super Mario All-Stars was my introduction to video games as a mere toddler. Super Mario 64 was the first game in the series I actually owned (as before I was too young to understand how to play video games). Paper Mario was the one that solidified this franchise as my favorite for all these...

Moving on, I drew this in response to that old "joke" about the whole Mario dying on March 31st thing because of Super Mario 3D All-Stars' limited availability: This is my take on Mario and Luigi's mom Luana, which I remember sharing before. This was before the movie of course, but I don't...

Following this I decided to include her in a much more detailed piece, kinda intended as a wallpaper for my fan project, Super Mario JBX: So uh, before I keep going, I should let y'all know I do draw my fan characters a lot, and Airashi is pretty much the poster girl of my work. So do expect...

Next I updated the mock-up Mario costume for her, and I even went ahead and added palette swaps for if she was playable in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand guess who's back? I swear I really need to remember I have an account here... At any rate, though the past few years have been rather inactive for me, as I found myself not drawing very much for a while. But nevertheless I did produce more art, and this year I've been getting...

Favorite YouTuber? If we’re talking about ones who cover Mario stuff, Mark Haynes is practically my favorite animator for fan-made content, all because of Super Mario Bros. Z! Least favorite? I believe almost every Mario fan feels obligated to say Game Theory.

Which one? I can safely say all of them have homes; do you mean what kind of house?

I feel the only reason they didn’t use the actual Puyo Puyo characters when releasing the first game over here (as Kirby’s Avalanche/Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine), was because America in general wasn’t receptive to anime yet (not until Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon the Series came along at...

Not to sound like I’m copping out, but, nearly all of them. There are definitely some I like more than others, but if I go into detail on them, I’d be typing an essay! Just know that Super Mario All-Stars introduced me to video games, and ever since then the Mario series has been the source of...

My dear boy, have you heard the legends of Champion’s Road from Super Mario 3D World? Or how in order to technically 100% the game, you have to clear it five times? That s*** is brutal, and I consider myself an expert at the platformer Mario games!

How can I? Or the fact that Dr. Baby Wario is the most relevancy Baby Wario in general has had since Yoshi’s Island DS? And yet they didn’t make Dr. Toadley playable... Would’ve been perfect!

No cutscenes come to mind of this happening specifically. But if you haven’t played a lot of Mario games; uh, please do! They’re very fun and you’re missing out by not trying out the main source of media for this series (in my opinion). Playing the video games is also the best way to learn...

Well like, one, he gets the power-up from the Super Leaf. Second, nobody said it was real fur. It could just be cloth that’s fuzzy.

As a big time Puyo Puyo fan myself, that probably has to do with the fact that the entire series falls within the puzzle genre. Sure it was initially intended to be a spin-off to its predecessor, Madou Monogatari, but Puyo Puyo saw more popularity and sales, so they shifted the series as a...

Yeah, she’s Mario and Airashi’s middle child (who in this case, her real name is Sarah). I appreciate you not wanting to have the name conflict with one of my characters, but it’s not mandatory. Since I’m assuming these questions apply to all of them, I will try answer all three questions for...

Well thanks dude! So do you have any questions about the ones shown here? Or for one of the others? In case anyone else is curious, here’s more of my Mario based OCs: Marco & Luana, the Mario Bros.’parents (or at least my take on them) Rei Mizushima, a shrine maiden whose family is known...

Ah, well if it’s OCs we’re talking about, I’ve got plenty to go around (or rather, fan characters to be specific)! I’ll show a few of my most popular ones here, but if anyone on the forums is familiar with the rest of em, feel free to ask me about those characters too! Anyways, we’ve got...

Here’s a picture I made it of Goombatt back in late 2020, mainly because before then, his last profile artwork was back in 2016!

Next on the list of OCs is a character by the name of Rei Mizushima! I don’t think I’ve done a proper reveal on her yet, so I’ll provide a brief description and some of the drawings featuring her so far: Rei is a shrine maiden of the Mizushima family, a clan known for dedicating their lives to...

As someone who has played all of them, and enjoyed all of them, that’s a tough choice to make...! Part of me just wants to outright say Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but it doesn’t feel right for me to consider the rest of them any lesser. Next to the platformer games, Mario RPGs are...

Let’s see, I have a few choices: Kirby - Could possibly be a seamless crossover gameplay wise, despite Mario and Kirby having different move sets from each other. Plus, they’re my top two fictional franchises; it would be amazing to see these two crossover beyond Smash Bros. Legend of Zelda -...

While at first glance, the games may seem to take some slight inspiration from the genre (especially the first one), I wouldn’t necessarily call it a part of the survival horror genre. As others will probably mention, games in that category usually have a protagonist with the odds stacked very...

Just did a little research on the wiki; the name comes from the Player’s Guide for Yoshi’s Island at the time. Considering this is the only time Spikes are referred to as “Mace Penguins”, it’s likely just a translation/localization slip up.

Hmmmm... I remember making a video about top ten power-ups, years ago. Not counting any that grant Mario invincibility, the clear choice has to be Cape Mario. While Mario has multiple power-ups that give him the power of flight, this one is easily the most efficient of the bunch. It may not...

While it is important for the developers to make sure a game is not too easy or too hard, it was actually quite common for NES games to be much harder than modern games (which I suspect is to make the time spent on them longer; games from the 80’s are obviously way smaller than what we get now...

For today’s drawing, here’s my take on Mario and Luigi’s parents; I call them Marco and Luana!

Here’s another one in between my work break; this one is an interaction between Airashi and her siblings; Koji and Yokiko:

Good freakin’ Lord, I gotta stop forgetting to come back here...! Hopefully you all see this next one I’m sharing. If not, I’ll have to start a new thread for art once more. So on that note, for now I’ll just share one, since I’m on lunch break at work.

...Whooooooops! How right you are. Now I feel silly...! They do go to great lengths to make them look realistic though. And that tends to have...... Results...

Personally, never been a fan of the whole "making an animated series live action" trend in general, especially when it's main purpose is to get the casuals back on board. It certainly isn't going to be the series norm from that point forward, and people who couldn't or won't grow to love the...

Mario probably doesn't get along with Waluigi too well since he likes to mess with his younger brother, so he tries not to interact with him unless necessary. The feeling is mutual, but in Waluigi's case, he just can't stand Mario's "goody-two-shoes attitude". Daisy dislikes Waluigi for...

To be fair, I could see that being the case for some wackier mini games in the Mario Party series. And Wario eats garlic to turn into Wario-Man, while Yoshi could eat certain fruits and peppers in Super Mario Galaxy 2 to gain temporary abilities. Those are foods in their raw, natural state...

I don't think they'd be allowed to remake exact arcs from the Superman comics and animated features, but it has been parodied multiple times over the decades. They could possibly do something similar to those if that's the case.

So a Mario level based on another franchise? How about one taking place somewhere on Planet Pop Star? It'd be great to see more interaction between the Super Mario and Kirby series beyond cameos between the two and Super Smash Bros.!

Yeah, while the Zone Shot and Zone Speed techniques were really cool and the Story Mode was decent for what it was... After that, not much you can do as a single player (had a lot of fun playing with my brother though).

To be fair, all franchises have to stick to public domain when it comes to using their characters for adaptations (parodies are a different story). But to answer the question, while I wouldn't be so hyped about an entire game doing this, having a sub-plot or even an animated feature do this...

Well because food is just food in the Mario series. Besides regular mushrooms, it's implied that the characters only need to touch or hold onto power-up items to use the abilities they grant; Super Mario 3D Land and World allow you to swap between power-ups at will as long as you're using one...

I guess one way to spice up single player mode with a story is to give like a simple plot for each character. Like say, Mario is racing simply because he wants to prove his skills. Wario is in it for the money, Waluigi wants recognition, etc. The player's final placement for each cup and the...

At first, I would've said yes, since France and Spain got their own versions, and the chibi designs did interest me. But then yesterday I caught wind from here that the manga kinda goes overboard with the toilet humor... And that ain't my cup of tea... So while I'm not completely against an...

Some ideas of mine I'd like to share: Falcon Mario (from "Falcon Suit") - Mario gains a suit that resembles a falcon; with wings and talons included. Mobility functions similarly to Kirby's Wing Copy Ability, but getting a running start allows Mario to fly in a similar fashion to his Cape...

Well, I'm making a fan comic of my own about Mario, so there's that! In other words, stay true to the source material while introducing some new concepts (if not retelling a story from one of the games); only taking creative liberties when necessary. Preferably action-oriented with plenty of...

Flawed as it is, I had the original cartridge when it was new and I have it digitally on my Wii U to this day. The only things I actively dislike are Bomb Karts being present in Vs Mode and the Red Shells having poor tracking. Victory Lap, the game's credits theme, is practically the best...
