More Smash victory screens, this time from all entries excluding Smash 64! Many thanks to the Smash Wiki for gathering these; feel free to use that link for blog-irrelevant characters as well.
The one of Lucas and Claus floating is my personal favorite. It's rather bittersweet actually...
The two of them play like a deformed ice climbers. When Mario gets tired Sonic(?) just whispers sweet little nothings into his ear - i.e GOTTA GO FAST OR ILL KILL YOU AND HARVEST YOUR LIFE MUSHROOMS.
This keeps Mario motivated to keep giving his all! These 2 really are the best duo, especially after the Luigi incident (RIP)...
Me at age 3: "Feeling kinda bored today. I think I'll try to fill an entire Zoo Tycoon 1 large zoo with 1x2-tile wooden benches."
Me at age 9: "Feeling kinda daring today. I think I'll see if I can make a custom level in the original Scribblenauts level editor without it crashing."
Me at age 10: "Feeling kinda rebellious today. I think I'll go jump on the Wii Balance Board."
Me at age 12: "Feeling kinda angry today. I think I'll make Mii Fighters of people, characters, and concepts I don't like; then set their CPU to Level 1 and beat them up in an untimed 99-stock, 8-fighter battle, in Smash 4, on the Wii U, on Final Destination, while spamming PK Rolling Thunder, as customized Ness, with a +100something Attack stat, and Moon Launcher equipment."
Me at age 19: "Feeling kinda vengeful today. I think I'll avenge Hera by seducing Zeus in The Sims 3, and then cheat on him with Windows 7, but oh wait... Zeus isn't mad? Okay, then I'll light him on fire with my unicorn named Charlie Horse, but that didn't kill him because Paula from EarthBound put the fire out (GEE, THANKS), so I'll drown him in my skull-shaped swimming pool instead."
(I've actually done all of these... Oh yeah, and the concept of the passage of time was one of the Miis I created to beat up. I have existential problems! Yay!)
Drawing Every Mario Character in Smash Pt. 4: Smash... 4!
Rosalina and Bowser Jr.! I thought it'd be fun to brawlify their designs for this. I based Jr. on Bowser's Brawl look while I took Rosalina's more muted colors from Galaxy 1. This is also definitely the best background I've drawn for this little series
Happy 9 year birthday to this game! (Almost 10 years omg 😭)
I love this game so much and I think in some ways it's better than the Wii U version! I have very fond memories of playing the demo when it first released and then buying the full game later in the month 😄
