Legacy of Villainy: Unveiling the Iconic Antagonists in Nintendo's Gaming Saga

In the rich tapestry of Nintendo’s illustrious gaming history, one cannot ignore the formidable presence of its iconic villains. From the menacing Bowser to the sinister Ganon and the cunning King K. Rool, these antagonists have become ingrained in the collective memory of gamers worldwide. In this exploration, we delve into the depths of their characters, motivations, and evolution over time,…

This is the best way I have to show my art evolution lmao

(I did like literally 2 drawings between 2018 and 2019)

[telleroftime]

Why is the Super Mario Bros lore harder to grasp than biochemistry?? I'd sooner memorise the different organic molecules and their functions in the human body than read over all the tiny varieties of Koopas. I mean, why is Bowser called Koopa? Why is his subspecies called Koopa? Why is the entirety of the main race called Koopa? Like I'm sorry, that's like saying "this is Rattus the Rattus Rattus, king of the Rattus"

Why is the information about his kingdom such a mess? Is he a king or just a bully with a little too much power and a self-proclaimed title? After all, a significant chunk of of the Koopa race doesn't actually follow him.

At least the Mushroom Kingdom is simple. It's consistent. We love consistency. Yes, very much so.

Hi! Sorry for not posting art in a while! Work has me by the balls! Here's what my autism has been on for the past week, you can see the evolution of me studying bowser to yassifying him. I will not apologize.

[perch-the-cat]

Alright we now got the Fury Bowser evolution, Scorchosity (Scorchosity combines the words Scorch and Furiosity so yea)

Guys, I made my 1st Fakemon! I decided to make Bowser as a Pokémon because I got bored

this looks more like Bowser than a fakemon.

Bowser is known for his firey climate so he would obviously be a fire type and since he's like a dragon too I'd thought dragon type would suit him. I thought I'd turn his shell spikes into mini volcanos as a form of attacking. I feel like Dry Bowser, Fury Bowser, Giga Bowser, and Dreamy Bowser would be good ways to evolve Scorchser.

I will choose the top two Bowsers

The weird evolution of Bowser in Beg and Prisoner...

[untoldsoup]

Hi, Soup! I hope you're feeling better recovering your mental strength after a hard event (I will not say what it is for your sake) from the past few days. Had been watching a YouTube video about Evolution of Final Bosses that aren't Bowser from Mario Games and that sparked a question for your BTB comic.

You mentioned before that Luigi's Mansion takes place in its timeline. Do the current events happen after Dark Moon or Luigi's Mansion 3?

I reference multiple games in my comic; from Luigi's mansion, to super paper mario, sunshine ect ect.

But you also have to take a few of these things with a grain of salt. A lot of mario games don't connect well- or -since they are games, have logistical issues if your going for a more 'realistic fantasy world ' like i am.

But I play fast and loose with canon. I pick parts of it i want, and discard stuff I don't want. Mario has too vast and conflicting lore to stick to things 100% without creating conflicts in the timeline.

The way I'm going about my comic is referencing only that which i need to as I go. As you've seen I even use asterisks for lines I think may require more than a general Mario world understanding.

I want to try and make my comic as accessible as possible to people, no matter how many mario games they have played.

Hopefully, If I'm doing everything correctly, it should feel like you've stepped into an almost fairy-tale retelling of the Mario franchise.

AU Time, AU Time!!

This AU has quite a few alterations! The main ones are included here, but there'll be more noticable ones that will come later!

- King Koopa has custody of his kids and isn't an asshole! (Wowie!)

- The Koopalings are MUUUUUCH younger and their age order is different

- SPECIES SHIFT, SPECIES SHIFT, SPECIES SHIFT-

- The Broodals live on Earth

- Peasley and Toadstool aren't avalailable for asks in this AU because their kingdoms don't like Koopas

And before I get to the juicy stuff, I'd like to provide inspo credit!!

Backstory:

@nrcy-d0-deactivated20231105

Okay, les gooooo!

Koopa Species & World Geography:

This map is a good reference point for where the countries are and the diversity of environments in this world. There are many species of Koopa depending on the environment:

Sky Koopas: High altitudes, in the sky (Sky Land, Cloud Kingdom, Mengeruine Clouds)

Sea Koopas: Warmer oceans / lakes (think near the islands, beaches, and Lake Kingdom)

Sand Koopas: Any desert (Layer Cake Desert, Sand Kingdom

Pirahna Koopas: Pipe Land

Snow Koopas: Very cold areas (Ice Land and Snow Kingdom)

Rock Koopas: Mountainous regions (Rock Candy Mines

Jungle Koopas: Soda Jungle

Grass Koopas: Standard, normal Koopas. Found just about everywhere

This guide also applies to the Koopa Kids, as they follow the Koopa species.

These species give each of the Koopalings (& Kids) quirks. (Except Cheatsy and Larry.)

Sky Koopas (Ludwig & Bully) have wings and hollow bones. As babies, Sky Koopas use a humming bird's wing pattern to fly.

Sea Koopas (Wendy & Kootie Pie) have gills and fins that make them EXCELLENT swimmers.

Jungle Koopas (Iggy) and climb and camoflauge, as well as easily tear through bark to eat tree bugs. (Iggy had to break a habbit of eating ants.)

Sand Koopas (Big Mouth and Roy) have many spikes to avoid being eaten. They also take on a reddish-brown colour to blend in with desert rocks when hunting. They have great digging ability, so they can chill under the sand during the scorching day. The varients of Sand Koopas have different tails, such as rattle snake (Big Mouth) and scorpion (Roy). Oh, also, they're venomous! And scorpion Sand Koopas can sting :3

Rock Koopas (Morton) are Desert Koopas evolved to climb mountains and fight others to become king of the hill to get the best (limited) vegetation. Their most notable feature is their horns.

Snow Koopas (Lemmy, Hip & Hop) are furry and get very weak in the heat. They also love fish. They tend to purr when happy, and often knead. Like cats, they have retractable claws.

Pirahna Koopas (Kooky) are known as the "freaks" of Koopas because they act the most feral. They bite, have cloroplast in their tail, have odd coloured eyes... The rumours have been that they're merges of Pirahna Plant and Koopa, but it was actually evolution slowly turning Pipeland Koopas into partial pirahna plants.

Koopalings

The koopalings JUST got adopted by Bowser. Their age order (oldest to youngest) goes Iggy, Morton, Lemmy, Ludwig, Roy, Wendy, Larry. (This is a reference.) They all have separate parents (except for Ludwig & Roy, as they're twins) that passed away in some horrific accident. (I love giving my characters trauma! <3) Their ages go as such:

Larry -> 4

Wendy -> 5

Roy & Ludwig -> 7

Lemmy -> 9

Morton -> 10

Iggy -> 12

They all take magic lessons from Kamek, and designed their wands to their liking. (Morton was TOLD to not make a hammer, but he didn't care.) Due to PTSD, they can be hostile, jittery or distressed at points for seemingly little or no reason. They try to adjust to their new life as royalty.

Koopa Kids

King Koopa keeps custody of his kids in this AU! Many koopas from all over the world volunteered to birth the king's children, but once they lounged around to get enough luxury items, they left. Bully was born paralysed from the waist down, but when unable to use his wheelchair, he gets around by flying. Also, Cheatsy is trans in this AU, but unlike the main world, King Koopa is fully supportive of his younger princess. (She dresses like Kootie Pie, but in hues of blue.) The only mother that still bothers to visit is Kooky's mother, who is much the opposite of Pirahna Koopa stereotypes and often comes to calm her son. The Koopa Kids age order is as follows:

Bully -> 14

Kootie Pie -> 11

Big Mouth -> 9

Kooky -> 7

Cheatsy -> 6

Hip & Hop -> 3

Broodals

The Broodals are a mafia gang! Madame Broode (called Mama Broode) is the mother figure and leader (as well as the birth mother of Hariet). Hariet is uninterested in joining the gang, and Mama Broode respected her wishes by getting an apartment near a wealthy school so Hariet could study and "become anything she wanted to make Mama proud". Meanwhile, Mama Broode took orphaned boys into her gang, including

Topper, an abandoned bun with a lazy eye and a stutter

Spewart, an aggressive and protective older brother mourning the recent death of his parents and coping with homelessness

Rango, a non verbal child trying to comprehend everything.

Their ages go:

Topper -> 8

Hariet -> 16

Spewart -> 12

Rango -> 3

And there you have it!!

Everyone I listed is open for asks!!

I waited so long for this, oh good golly-

It's 1am for me now though! Bedtime!

Super Famicom - Super Mario Collection (Super Mario All-Stars)

Title: Super Mario Collection / スーパーマリオコレクション

Developer/Publisher: Nintendo

Release date: 14 July 1993

Catalogue Code: SHVC-4M

Genre: Compilation / Platformer

No. of Players: 1-2

What you get in this amazing package is Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 2 (Super Mario USA), Super Mario 3, and The Lost Worlds - the original Mario 2 that was not released in the US. There is even a special copy of this cartridge available that has Super Mario World in it.

Looking at these games individually, you can clearly see the evolution of both Mario games and the platformer genre. Mario 1 is easily the most simplistic and old-school of the games. Mario 2 is a clear example of what happens when a company meddles with a game to draw in a different crowd (Star Fox Adventures comes to mind...). The series really hit it big with Mario, which is probably the most recognizable Mario game apart from Mario 64. The Lost Levels is a slap in the face to the U.S. gaming community because Nintendo believed it was "too hard" for most American gamers.

Anyway, here's a quick rundown of the 4 games.

Super Mario 1: Mario and Luigi must rescue the Princess and the Mushroom Retainers from the evil King Bowser.

Super Mario 2 JP: Also known as "Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels". This game originally on the Famicom Disk System features the same style of gameplay as the original Super Mario Bros. The game contains poison mushrooms, which will shrink or kill Mario, and new and old enemies, such as Flying Bloopers.

Super Mario USA: also known as "Super Mario 2" elsewhere. A re-working of Fuji TV's Yume Kojo Dokidoki Panic originally on the Famicom Disk System, Mario and friends discover a mysterious land, called Subcon, that is being destroyed by Wart and his minions. They must rescue this strange land from the tyrant.

Super Mario 3: Bowser, with the help of his Koopalings, takes over the Mushroom Kingdom's 7 lands and turns their kings into creatures. It's now up to Mario and Luigi to save the Mushroom Kingdom.

Sex and the City Meets an Effeminate Heterosexual

“Evolution” (August 19, 1999)

If you came of age in the late 90s or early 2000s, you live in a world informed by Sex and the City — whether you realize it or not. It’s probably one of the most influential TV shows to air during our lifetimes, and so it’s more than time that we look at one of its many LGBTQ-themed episodes. Joining us to discuss Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte is returning guest Gwynedd Stuart, who has big feelings about why this show matters.

Listen to Gwynedd’s previous episode about Soap.

Most of Drew’s background on how SATC ended up at HBO comes from this Vulture article. And here is the 1991 New York Times article about Woody Allen and Mia Farrow waving at each other from across Central Park.

Listen to Drew discussing Bowser, King of the Koopa, on the Retronauts podcast.

90's MARIO BROS. MOVIE Kamek?

I came across this super interesting concept art from the 90's Mario Bros. movie. (below) It looks like early designs of the de-evolution chamber.

I had to give it some color...

During that process it made wonder... who is this guy to the right? Who is this butcher looking servant to the king? Operator of the de-evolution chamber? Maybe he developed the tech for de-evolution?

With that in mind I thought... who is close to Bowser in the games?

...the round white glasses needed to stand out. I turned the apron and cap blue. On the machine there are two arms with three lights each. You can compare those lights to Magikoopa's magic.

It's as if Kamek's magic in the game is this Kamek's tech in the movie!

(also coloring it in kinda makes it feel like it was from a Hellboy comic no?)

LM3 Headcanon: The evolution of ghosthunting

Ghost Hunting can be separated into two “eras”. Pre-Modern and Modern

The pre-modern era was…basically before the invention of the Poltergust! Ghosts were usually “kept at bay” most of the time with stuff like charms that could ward them off rather than being caught!! Though catching,wasn’t entirely out of question,though it would take a lot of more magical means,like entrapping them in a jewel or something of the like. Usually mage like people would do this!!

The modern era of ghost hunting came around the time of the first Luigi’s Mansion game,as E.Gadd revolutionised it himself with the invention of the Poltergust!! He sold them around and they became a hit!! People could just grab a vacuum and suck up a ghost that was haunting them…or just because they could! And ghost portraits can be hold for very hefty prices,so that’s a win win!! E.Gadd gets a very big profit regardless!! In other words,E.Gadd essentially started the ghost hunting renaissance!

Unlife was never really easier for ghosts before the modern ghost hunting era,as ghost warding charms can be very painful for a ghost to be around,especially if people are shoving them in their direction if they’re being mobbed out by a whole,well…mob,and once again,ghost catching still existed!!

But with the modern era,things were…different. And not a good different. Ghosts who experienced the shift to the new era were…frankly horrified!! Ghost catching was once a worst case scenario sort of thing,but now…anyone could do it. Ghost capturing went from a rarity to something frequent enough that spectres had to actively look out for it!

And how it was accessible to anyone. Not the experienced few,but anyone who could get their hands on a Poltergust. Many of which ghost hunted because…they could. Because it was integrated in their minds that all ghosts are naturally malicious and catching them is a good thing. Some people just want a powertrip in knowing that they can capture people without any real consequences! Or maybe some just…don’t think that ghosts are people who’ve past,and it’s a hobby like catching bugs or fish.

There’s no consequences to capturing a ghost. Bowser captures Princess Peach and it’s always a big deal. But anyone could catch a ghost and no one would react as they would with the first example. Mario is there to save Peach,but no one comes to save a captured ghost. Most don’t even consider how the ghost feels about their loss of freedom…or how they feel at all!! You could call it a double standard!

Latest details

Get ready to jump into the unexpected with Super Mario Bros. Wonder—the next evolution of Mario fun and the first 2D side-scrolling Super Mario Bros. game in more than 10 years! With a new Flower Kingdom to explore and a varied roster of playable characters, Super Mario Bros. Wonder also introduces Wonder Flowers – game-changing items that create surprising effects you have to see to believe.

In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the benevolent Prince Florian invites Mario and his friends to the Flower Kingdom – a not-so-distant land just beyond the Mushroom Kingdom. But Bowser, the King of the Koopas, has other plans. With just a single touch of the mysterious Wonder Flower, Bowser merges with Prince Florian’s castle. Thanks to his newfound power, chaos spreads across the land. Now it’s up to Mario and pals to stop Bowser and save the Flower Kingdom. Here are just a handful of the features and highlights that players can experience on this flower-ful adventure:

A Kingdom Teeming with Variety – The Flower Kingdom is made up of six distinct worlds that circle the Petal Isles, giving you a total of seven areas to explore. Traverse multiple islands, dive into the sea and spelunk through caves. A rich variety of courses await in each world, and you can even walk freely through open areas you find on the world map.

Wondering About Wonder Effects? Expect the Unexpected – Wonder Flowers thrive off this world’s mysterious power and release it when in bloom. When you touch a Wonder Flower in a course, a Wonder effect will trigger, causing dramatic changes. Pipes might start moving, the terrain may tilt, your perspective can change or you might float through space. There are even Wonders that can transform your character into a Goomba or a Spike-Ball.

Charismatic Characters at Your Command – Besides Mario, you can also play as Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Blue Toad or Yellow Toad, and even Toadette. They all play the same, so go with your favorite or mix it up with someone different. Yoshis and Nabbit won’t take damage, so they’re a smart choice if you’re looking for a more easygoing experience.

Plenty of Power-Ups – Super Mario Bros. Wonder features the debut of new power-ups such as the Elephant Fruit, which allows Mario and some of his friends to transform into Elephant form. Throw around your weight—and your nose—as you swing your trunk to attack enemies, destroy blocks and dash across large gaps. The Bubble form allows you to blow floating bubbles that can be used to capture enemies from a distance. The Drill form makes dealing with spiky or hard-headed enemies a breeze. It also allows you to burrow and move through the ground.

Don’t Let Your Enemies Get the Best of You – When it comes to enemies, you’ll encounter new treacherous ones while traipsing through the Flower Kingdom. Hoppycats will copy you and jump when you jump. Melon Piranha Plants spit seeds from their mouths. Condarts will fly at you and stick their beaks into your business. Maw-Maws will eat anything that comes too close to their gaping mouths. There are many new enemies for you to discover.

Equip a Badge to Mix It Up – As your adventure progresses, you’ll be able to earn a variety of different in-game badges, each with its own special ability. In local multiplayer, each group of players will use the same badge. Check out some of the fun options available:

**Enhance your wall-jumping abilities with the Wall-Climb Jump badge.

**Equip the Dolphin Kick badge to unleash an underwater burst of speed.

**Charge up a bounding leap with the Crouching High Jump badge.

**Shoot vines in mid-air and stick to walls with the Grappling Vine badge.

**For a double-edged sword and an additional challenge, become invisible to your enemies (and yourself) with the Invisibility badge.

Multiply the Fun with Local Multiplayer – Up to four people can play locally on the same Nintendo Switch system. If a player is defeated in local cooperative play, their character will float around the course as a ghost. If another player reaches them before time runs out, they’ll jump right back into action, and the group won’t lose any lives. If someone is playing as a Yoshi, you can jump on their back and ride them around the course. Giddy-up!

Jump into Online Play – While playing online, you have the option of creating a room to get together with friends. In a shared room, you can see which courses your friends are playing, play the same one together and even turn most courses into a friendly race. Even when playing solo, if you connect online, you can see other players from around the world in courses and on the world map enjoying the game in real time, appearing as live player shadows. You can come back to life by bumping into a live player shadow here too. Plus, you can assist fellow online players by placing a standee that they can use to revive ghosts. Place them creatively in challenging areas to really help someone out. The game will even display how many people have used your standee assist.

I decided to watch four Super Mario Bros movies/OVAs today. It was fun, and I think they were all good in different ways so it's hard to rank which one i think is “the best.” So, instead, I’ve decided to use a completely arbitrary ranking system to give me an excuse to throw my thoughts into the void. So without further ado…

Super Mario Bros Movies/OVAs ranked by Mario’s proximity to guns.

4) The Super Mario Bros Movie (2023)

At this point I don't think this movie needs any introduction.

No guns are shown, but since it references/partly takes place in modern day New York, I feel like it's pretty reasonable to assume that they exist. There are cannons and Bullet Bills if you put them in the same category as guns? But that’s it.

Which, y’know, makes sense considering this is the most game accurate movie. I’d definitely recommend watching if you haven't. It's fun, it’s cute, and you can tell there’s a lot of love put into it. It’s very refreshing.

3) The Great Mission to Save Princess Peach! (1986)

This Japan-exclusive animated movie puts the brothers in a more fantasy-style world. It's cute, but don't expect a lot of callbacks like what we got in the newest movie since the game series was still establishing an identity (the brothers aren't even plumbers in this one, they work as grocers!).

Near the beginning of the movie, Mario gets so mad at the idea of Bowser marrying Peach that he turns into a gunslinging caricature through the sheer power of animated rage:

Did this make me spit out my drink? No, because I wasn't drinking. But if I was? Yeah I probably would've. Cute movie nonetheless.

2) Super Mario Bros (1993)

Do I explain what happens in this one? Do I want to take on that challenge? I greatly enjoy this version of the Mario Brothers (hell, I own two DVD copies of this movie). Their dynamic is great in a completely new way, and the world is pretty interesting. Plus the brothers actually use plumbing tools and skills throughout it! There are references to the game, but if you're expecting a 1:1 adaptation and want nothing else, this is not for you.

Anyway. Bowser's army is armed with "De-Evolution Guns," which are like ray guns that turn you into whatever your species evolved from. A human guy gets shot by one and turns into a monkey after the Twin Towers get Thanos snapped. The guns are shown pretty frequently throughout the latter half of the movie, and both Mario and Luigi wield them in the final battle to turn Koopa into primordial slime.

Yes. You read all of those words correctly. The movie is a trip and a half and I love it.

1) Amada Anime Series: Super Mario Bros (1989)

These are a series of three short OVAs where Mario characters are used to tell well known fairy tales. The shorts adapt Momotaro, a story called Little One-Inch, and Snow White. Watching all three will only take around fourty minutes, but it is a wild fourty minutes. Here's the pertinent clip that sent me into tears.

... I don't remember that part of the fairy tale.

But fear not, Although Mario just carries this around for half the OVA, he's never actually shown firing it. The worst it gets is just shots of him brandishing it during the fight with Bowser.

I’m still not sure that what I watched was real tbh.

Anyway thank you for coming to my TED Talk, I’m gonna go lay in bed and stare at my ceiling until the psychic damage wears off.
