Okay this may sound silly. But Yoshi is like super important to me(or heck us) sooo yoshi was a character we loved, but well my brother usually picked them. but we wated to pick them because well we were too scared too pick peach or daisy because clearly if you pick a girl one time that means you wana be a girl. But in the mario parties and karts yoshi was this little adrogynousy cutesy thing. Plus dinosaurs and fruits are awesome. Unfortunately my older beother was faster and generally got to be yoshi when it those games. Instead I would pick D.k because picking an animalboy was still better than being one of the other guys. Or if something like koopa was available it expanded. In smash bros kirby and the pokemon and ness joined Yoshi as a fave.
And as games expanded bowser jr., petey pirhana and other cartoony animalistic things joined what. I perferred to play. I would even dabble in playing Birdetta.
But it all started with Yoshi. Yoshi is idk peak androgony or something. At least for me. We will always owe it to cute genderly ambigious animal pals. And thats why im so happy to be one.

Fifteen Mario Characters in My World of Mario Style
I can’t draw Bowser’s face for the life of me, so I always give him a more simplified facial structure. Similarly, his shell only has four BIG spikes instead of a bunch of smaller ones. His long tortoise neck adds to his body language and makes his “sleep-mode size” look more imposing. I added fangs to his lower jaw compared to how I used to draw him, so he looks less like a guy in a costume.
Junior’s more a manner of stylization than an outright redesign, but the massive ponytail was a fun addition.
Kamek has ganglier proportions and pupils visible through his glasses. A slouch both shows his age and emphasizes his shell.
The underside of Toad’s cap is visible to make it more obviously part of his body. Also, you can’t tell in the above image, but I both darkened Toad’s complexion and made it so that the spots on his cap are permanently blue.
Toadette is one of the more drastically different characters in how I portray her, punctuated by a less chibi-esque look and a single ponytail. Note how the front of her cap is scored, making it look more like hair.
Rosalina has a slightly more gothic look about her, complete with the star tattoo on her shoulder. There’s also a lot more soft shapes here.
DK borrows Donkey Kong Junior’s tank top and conjoined eyes since some adaptations essentially merge the two, most recently the movie.
Wario takes the goggles from his WarioWare outfit and tacks them onto his cap. Rings around his eyes become discolored eyelids and his stubby legs become disproportionally gangly ones.
Waluigi would really rather be anywhere else, as evidenced by his preppy tennis outfit. Better posture makes him look even taller than usual.
Birdo, also known by her stage name “Birdetta”, adopts the conical mouth of her earlier designs, slightly mismatched eyes, freckles for extra cuteness points, and a little jacket.
Yoshi looks like a deformed Zbornak with more of a theropod-like build and a longer tail. Also, he’s totally wearing dinosaur slippers.
It’s hard for me to draw Mario’s mouth under his mustache, so it’s parted a little. Drawing his nose a separate circle with a mustache added on makes it easier to break up his face into a manageable design.
Luigi has a drooping mustache, heavy slouch, and oblong eyes, all to make him look as awkward as possible.
Peach’s VERY stylized bangs and ponytail make her easier to draw, while her minimized nose harkens back to the toads that raised her. Not pictured for spacing purposes is her floaty, crowny thing that I don’t draw the other princesses with.
Daisy goes for more of a youthful, androgynous look with more exaggerated facial features. Still cute, though.
