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

I'll show off my favorite NES bootleg graphic sheet.

Mari Street Fighter 3 Turbo's garbage characters, that act as reskins for Guile:

Which are in turn based off, among many other things, the "Mario" in another bootleg, Mario Street Fighter III:

Both of these are based off Street Fighter II actually, and the latter is actually a ROMhack of a bootleg simply called "Street Fighter II."

Neither of them are as good as Kart Fighter or the NES World Heroes 2, though. The Fortran recolor used on the title screen and icon of Mario Street Fighter III itself would later be re-re-repurposed into another far more famous bootleg of a Flintstones game, which certain normies think was original to said bootleg.
 
As someone who made a fighter sprite sheet herself, this is utterly atrocious lol.
 
I am so tempted just to point out everything wrong with the character sheet I'm seeing, but I'll just end up pushing myself against the forum's character limit. Twice.
 
They should just rip MUGEN sprites like a real bootlegger, much easier to work with.
 
I have a feeling MUGEN didn't exist when these were made.

Fun fact, on FDS bootleg, there are Street Fighter 2, 3, 4, and 5 in various flavors. All are actually bootlegs of II, along with most other bootleg fighters on the system (of which there are many). The only one that isn't that comes to mind is one of Street Fighter Alpha (though admittedly it likely uses the same engine as the others, in which case it's one anyways).
 
And to imagine this entire time, I thought Mario was doing a thumbs-up, not climbing a bean stalk.
 
He's shrugging, not climbing the beanstalk.
