Has anyone else noticed that Mario has be getting skinnier over the years?
 
Very slightly but not a considerable amount
 
Not really, though its kind of hard to compare sprites to something more advanced; but ask yourself this, has Luigi been getting thinner, I think so.
 
Yeah, I've noticed. Taller, too. Mario used to be at his normal height when he had no powerups, but now his normal height is when he has a Super Mushroom.
 
Anyone remember Nintendo's old, pre-GCN plans to make the Mario series more mature, and how the weird SM128 trailers had the super-thin Marios in them? I think those to things had to do with Mario's skinnification, but I have a strange feeling that this whole post is somehow pointless.
 
Fun Fact: Super Mario 128 became Pikmin, Shigeru Miyamoto said so and what could he gain from lieing to us?

And Mario can be thin whenever he wants, he just needs to use his powers from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. :D
 
In my opnion, he just become a bit more "realistic".

Touché! :)
 
At the beginning, comparing Luigi to Mario was impossible to a red-green colour blind.
OMG, 666th post. I'm so evil :twisted:

I like to think of that as more of a retcon than a gradual change. Note that in SM64/DS, he gets EVEN TALLER when collecting a Super Mushroom.
