A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Those pictures are awesome! If Mario or Luigi picked up a flamethrower this should have happened. I have something similar planned in my thread as well.

I've seen that Wario/Waluigi picture before, nice job! I love how you even added the pink nose on Wario, nice attention to detail there!

I love this concept. The color-scheme of the original Fire costumes are arguably one of the defining features of the original Super Mario Bros. (Can anyone dismiss how awesome it feels to first get a Fire Flower and start shooting Goombas and Koopas?)

Your re-coloring of the film's costumes is nearly flawless work. The design of those costumes also allow for a much better rendition of the Fire color scheme than the game's coveralls might, which makes it a plus in my book. Hope to see more of this!

It's-a SUPER job! Yay you you indeed, Luigi

Good work with those pictures! Looks like Super Mario Bros. 2

That actually turned out rather well. Glad you were able to take to my request so soon.

You're right that the face doesn't look so good, but the recoloring of the hair and suit really shines and could have definitely worked as a character design that alludes more to the game's version of Koopa while still being human. You should totally just leave it at those two while keeping the face normal.

Yay for you again, Luigi! 'Nuff said

Both edits are very good! But since you weren't so happy with the yellow-and-green face edit, might I suggest you play around with various colour tones until you find one you like?

That's much better! Aside from the little bits of yellow still on the top of his tongue and chin, this design works much better than the original attempt. The recoloring works really well with Koopa's film design in general.

If you take requests, I'd like to see a picture showing more of the snakeskin suit recolored. This is the best I can find, which should be interesting seeing how the recolor contrasts with T. rex Koopa.

Another interesting idea would be attempting to make Iggy and Spike look somewhat like their own game counterparts. It'd be fun to see Iggy with white hair and Spike with rainbow hair and glasses.

Hopefully it's okay if I post a manip of mine in here:





Here's the story behind this one: some of the biggest "complaints" about the film center around the characterization of Luigi. Some of the most common ones include:

"He's not a lot taller than Mario," "he's not Italian," "his hat is backwards," "why is he Mexican," "why is Mario his father," "why are they so far apart in age," and, my personal favorite:

"He has no mustache."

Well, this manip is designed to challenge the claims of these people. Along the same lines of "do you really think making everything like the games would make a good film," if you really wanted a "true" game Luigi, based upon the way he was characterized in a majority of the games at the time (keep in mind the only game where he was skinny/tall was in SMB2 for a while), then here he is. A color palate swap of Mario from red to green. With a mustache. Is that what you wanted? Because that's what these people are asking for.

I like your pic Phlibbit! Very Street Fighter-y (i.e. in the sense of a palette-swap 'mirror match' VS screen... and yes you heard this one coming from me LOL)

I personally had no complaints about how Luigi turned out. I thought the idea of him being a young character who you just want to run up to and cuddle (come on, you can't deny it...) was rather sweet.

That is a really sweet picture Phlibbit. It reminds me of the old merchandise from the 80's that had Luigi as a Mario clone but with a different color pallet. I really like that, it makes me really wonder now what the movie would have been like if Luigi looked more like Mario.

Yay for me Luigi wrote:

Vaguely reminiscent of Son of the Mask for some reason.

Yay for Me Luigi, do you take requests? If so can you do an invincible (i.e. Starman'ed) Dennis Hopper? I'd like it for my avatar (if of course RedStar or someone can show me how to make a pic into an avatar!).

For this I'd suggest you try numerous shots of Hopper, like when he says "I'll kill that plumber!!" or when he is chasing Daisy's mom, so I can decide which one I'll use.

These are all awesome edits! If you're taking requests I have one.

Is it possible to reverse the color on Mario and Luigi's clothes so it looks like what they wear today? The jumpsuits would be blue while the sleeves, pockets and collar would be red and green.

Of course all of your requests are possible. After all, anything is possible, you just gotta believe! xD

I think I'm fine with the Luigi we got But I find that an awesome n' humorous edit!

In all honesty, I liked how Luigi was portrayed character-wise and design wise. A mustache... seriously? Is the lack of a mustache REALLY that earth-shattering!? Well, why not complain about Mario going bald? Mario in the video games wasn't bald, DESTROYING MY CHILDHOOD!
