The official Japanese guide book for Superstar Saga features official artwork for Bowletta?! This was posted back in May on the Tumblr blog beanlets and it's just bizarre how this art has never been posted online before ever?!

Worth uploading to the wiki!

Done (File:Bowletta Artwork - Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga.jpg)

Edit:

Apparently this artwork was also used to promote the remake at the Nintendo NY store. So Nintendo still uses it, yet the best quality available (so far) is a scan from an old Japanese guide. That's kind of funny.

No one will ever be able to convince me that Bowletta wasn't a terrible idea.

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

Eh, at least it was a first for its time. Then future final bosses just started ripping it off and now it's not as unique.

 

[Mcmadness]

First or not it was a bad idea.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

I challenge you to remaster that artwork, FTG

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

Mmm, challenge accepted.

 

[J-Yoshi64]

I am both dreading and looking forward to seeing the result.

There's that elusive cake in the background!
