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

yeah the animation swaps are happening again

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Feels like it's a law of the universe or something; every time a new Smash game gets released, people will animation swap characters.

first nintendo character to get a confirmed mastectomy

 

[Xiahou Dun]

This is like the Diddy Kong Racing LOD models where anterior of the body is erased so performance runs better.

Some people posted modding progress on characters in the MK8DX modding Discord. I apologize beforehand for posting the images here but I just couldn't resist.

Your mods are beautiful and I appreciate you're taking the time to make these guys!

Slendermario? Slendermamamia?

 

[Marioro]

Mario be feeling like Clayface right now

 

[Biddybud]

I'd make that face too if I had to have my photo taken at gunpoint and with a hat I don't like, with a monster looming over me and smelling that hat, and with another hat intensely judging me.

Mario on left ate a weird shroom

 

[Xiahou Dun]

I think I like nearly everything about it.

First, it's Cranky Kong! What's not to like about this gleeful old ape? He's even wearing cool shades, but he will insist it's to keep the sun out of his eyes, the young ones don't even care if they stare at the sun all day!

Then it's Yoshi, who has the thousand-year stare and battle scars. He embodies a similar energy to that Luigi earlier in this thread, but less malformed.

Blue Toad, who is much taller than the rest, hollering at something offscreen. Maybe that's why Yoshi is staring so far off in the distance.

Bullet Bill is trying for a very fine balancing act.... and succeeding! Not bad for a cylinder with no legs! I don't think I could've managed the same.

Luigi is asking, you, a forum reader, "AND YOU GOTTA HELP US". Help them do what? Provide spare change? Looks like someone already tossed one coin to Mario, who has to pay for the repairs of his dislocated shoulder!

And Piranha Plant, that alone likely explains the scars Yoshi got! What poor dental work! Piranha Plant should work on that and apply a generous dose of balm for its chapped lips in the mean time!

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Yoshi lets his love of fruits get too far.

 

[Marioro]

That Yoshi must have a really manly, raspy voice.

So recently an old press disk was recovered...
Friend of mine made a .gif of an...odd portion.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

I took some stills and they're disturbing

mario not only has an elongated-looking nose but his pupils appear bigger and even more soulless, since everything except his pupils and nose shrinks

breadstick with eyes

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

Yeah he posted all the stills he could in a discord chat and then animated them.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Isn't there an ad that shows a progression of that transformation?

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

He got it from here

[Marioro]

200TH PAGE (oh crap. N... not really).

This is how Mario and Luigi look like after reading this whole thread til this moment.

 

[Doc von Schmeltwick]

Like something from the storage room of a FNaF game?

 

[Xiahou Dun]

He got it from here

Oh but this what I was thinking about :P

 

[Marioro]

Hey you know what I think now?


Mario wasn't born in Italy, nor America, nor Japan, nor anything. He was born as that amorphous floating head in some blue space like the ones its always in, until one day he morphed a body. Mystery solved.

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Does that make him Andross's son?

 

[J-Yoshi64]

Where does that put Luigi?

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Luigi's head is a planet in Super Mario Galaxy just like Yoshi, Peach, and Toad.
