This is my DTIYS to celebrate I reached 2K followers here on Tumblr! 🥳🥳🥳
I've been wanting to color this drawing for so long! I've drawn Luigi and Daisy several times, but I didn't have much art of Mario and Peach. This drawing is a redraw of a scene from the 1986 movie Super Mario Bros.: Peach-Hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!, but featuring the designs of the 2023 movie.
Here are the rules:
There is no deadline, so you can participate whenever you want.
It has to be specifically Mario and Peach (because I'm working on another DTIYS featuring Daisy and Luigi.)
You can change their outfits and the poses (they could be dancing at any music you want.)
Please, do NOT trace, copy, edit, recolor and don't use AIs. You have to redraw this in your own style.
When you post it, tag me and use the tag #The Plumber and the Peach DTIYS so I can see your entry.
Thank you so much for all your love and support! I created this blog expecting nothing, but now it turned into something I could've never imagined. You're all so great! Thank you!! 😄💖💖💖
Have you ever seen the old anime movie “The great mission to rescue princess peach”? Luigi’s in that movie too, though it was made so long ago that he has a different, more Wario-esque personality. What do you think of him?
I have! I enjoyed it a whole lot!
And though the Luigi in that film was pretty different than the modern version of Luigi, I'm still quite fond of the character.
Outside of his interest in money, I don't really see him as Wario-esque. Wario's greed comes strictly from a place of selfishness, while Luigi's greed strikes me more as... well... "worldly" is as close an adjective as I can come up with.
The interesting thing about TGMTRPP Luigi is he lacks the "shyness" so often attributed to modern Luigi, and doesn't exhibit much anxiety outside of situations of immediate danger. This version of Luigi is outspoken, direct, sensible, and grounded, and cares a lot about being prepared and getting properly compensated.
He's the one telling Mario to go to sleep when he stays up too late playing videogames, trying to bring him tea to help ease him into a bedtime routine.
He's the one who runs the storefront and manages customer relations.
He's the one who actually thinks to pack supplies when Mario races out the door.
When they start getting hungry he's the one who wanders off to forage for mushrooms, and when they're trapped and Mario starts letting hopelessness and fantasy get the best of him, Luigi is the one who keeps his head enough to dig a tunnel out (once he stops hyperfixating on the gold of course).
While modern Luigi joins his brother out of admiration and a desire to follow in his footsteps, TGMTRPP Luigi seems to follow him around because he's thinking "if I don't help out he's going to get ripped off at best and killed at worst," despite the fact that he himself ends up in trouble just as much as Mario.
He's more blind to his own flaws and self-interested than modern Luigi, but he's still a good brother and a decent person.
After all, the sage described both of The Mario Bros as "kindhearted, but also money-seeking."
Mario just so happened to have known Princess Peach long enough to develop a crush that usurped his desire for wealth.
Luigi, on the other hand, got no such opportunity.
