Current state of Mario character designs

Current state of Mario character designs.

as opposed to...?
You aren't seriously asserting that a lump of turd with eyes ("goomba") is a genius design, are you?

Cute

I think op's referring to party members from PM 1 and 2, most of which were very charming and likable designs.

>literally just a baby with a mushroom hat
Mario as a franchise is dead.

>Let's just stick Googly eyes on Mario's hat and call it a partner!

>Diss DKC for completely BTFO Mario World and Yoshi Island
>Kill Dinosaur Planet and fuck up StarFox while flipping Rareware the finger as they got bought out by microsoft
>Now they are copying Rareware character designs
Really makes you think

New major characters in Mario Sunshine:
>Toadsworth
>E Gadd
>Fludd
>Bowser Jr

New major characters in Odyssey:
>A hat with eyes on it

>New major characters in Odyssey:
and those Rabbit dudes and dudette

>listing FLUDD as a good example of a character
wow

E. Gadd is from Luigi's mansion, retard

Shhh! That doesn't fit the narrative he's trying to push!

Better than a fucking hat with eyes on it.

Yeah, what great designs, bowser rabbits. So charming and unique.

Nintendoomed period.

>he doesnt like the duck pump with the tranny voice

>that crown

You forgot the dancing skeletons, the spinning robots, and the sentient eating utensils.

Better than the fucking Koopalings

>yfw there's more to "a fucking hat with eyes" than what it looks at first

>major characters
>Lists random NPCs

>egadd

>new major character from sunshine

Not major characters, Mario Sunshine has dozens of new minor characters.

>Current state of Mario character designs.

no, it really isn't

Forgot the best one.

Why does it matter whether or not they're major characters?

First of all, E.Gadd came from Luigi's Mansion and he didn't even make an appearance in Sunshine. And second, Odyssey isn't even out yet so you don't know how many new characters are in it

Like the bucket actually, but I'm on board with the overall point. I feel like the bucket would be inoffensive without the other two, but because of the other two, he's not wrongfully lumped in with them.

Who cares about the quantity of new characters?

porn
when

Random objects that have big eyes on them?

That's never been in a Mario game before!

I really don't think its fair for Sunshine to get claim on introducing Bowser Jr. Discounting Yoshi's Island introducing a baby form of Bowser, Mario Party threw out the "Koopa Kid", which they inexpliciably decided to ignore when a story called for King Koopa to have a Kid (Also, all those other kids he has).

I'm not really sure what more you want out of Mario characters than these

sunshine was a launch title retards
neo- nintendo migt stall the mainline mario game for months. but back in the day, every new system started strong with the biggest mario game

>sunshine was a launch title retards

embarrassing!

Made me reply

Man, don't put the hat with the sticker and bucket.
Odyssey actually looks good.

If the tall one doesnt attack with some Hick instrument, I will be fucking pissed

When will Nintendo ever learn?

I don't think the hat is actually a hat.

this. It's actually a rabbit hiding inside Mario's cap.

>Current

The NPC's better talk.

Not dealing with this Yume Nikki shit.

Why the fuck would Nintendo do this? Looks fucking terrible.

>Nintendo hasnt made shitty design choices before

>Implying that's anywhere near as bad as Nooj

That's a bad redesign though, I'll admit.

Misshapen blobs > Inanimate objects > Toads > Filthy stinking humans

What makes you think they won't?

The last two games.

Eric?.

If I didn't know any better I'd say that blue one was a Morton rabbit.

Arriba! Arriba!

...

What point are you going to make when literally 2 of these characters are from Paper Mario?

Super Mario has a different team compared to PM's team.

wats the difference?
