Rosalina's Weirdly Consistent Modesty

Have you ever noticed that Rosalina has consistently shown the least amount of skin between her, Peach and Daisy (and in more recent years Pauline) when they are put in alternate outfits?

I promise this post won't be creepy or puritanical, this is strictly about character analysis.

Believe it or not, Mario & Sonic started this trend (as far as I know). These are their Rhythmic Gymnastics outfits:

She's the only one who has sleeves.

These are their beach outfits/swimwear:

Rosalina shows the least amount of skin; you can't see her midriff nor can you see her thighs.

These are their doctor uniforms:

She doesn't show her legs.

These are their tennis outfits:

She's the only one wearing leggings.

These are their golf outfits:

Again, Rosalina completely covers her legs whereas Peach and Daisy don't. Pauline here is wearing trousers, and is therefore covering her legs, but unlike Rosalina with her that isn't usually the case when it comes to sports attire.

And in Battle League:

Despite there being customizable clothes, she is the only one of the four human girls to permanently have tights and sleeves, they cannot be taken off.

Rosalina's consistently modest clothing is a great and effective way of showing and emphasizing her mature and reserved nature. Especially in comparison to the other girls, with their outfits suggesting that they're more playful, youthful and flirty (Peach in particular), or sporty, outgoing, and willing to show off (Daisy in particular). Rosalina's clothes also add to her mysterious nature by physically and literally hiding parts of herself away.

Ain't character design fun?

This post is about the clothes, but I like how in their Mario & Sonic renders; Peach strikes an elegant pose, and Daisy waves confidently at the camera with a hand on her hip, but Rosalina is the only one who doesn't look directly at the camera (as if she is avoiding eye contact) and clasps her hands around her knee. Her body language is literally closing herself off. However, one leg remains outstretched, showing she's still capable of reaching out to others, even if she's not as extroverted or cheery as Peach or Daisy.

Even body language can say a lot.

Name: Fútbot

Debut: Mario Strikers: Battle League

Today we will be talking about famous bad game Mario Strikers: Battle League! I do not care about sports games even if they do contain Shy Guy, but geez, I'm sorry to those of you who do. You just can't catch a break.

But maybe there's hope? Maybe a brand new character, unique to this game, could spark some intrigue? Surely a one-off robot in a Mario game would at least appeal to ME, right? RIGHT?

Wrong! I think Fútbot is stupendously mid. Note that I called it a "robot". Not even a "funny robot". That's how you know I'm serious! As a design, Fútbot has some interesting things going on, I suppose. A propeller for a lower body, a puppety mouth, and a glowing sphere of a "tongue". But it just doesn't do it for me! My favorite part of this character is the cute name.

Fútbot simply feels like a mascot and nothing else. This could be the mascot for anything. An antivirus software. A local TV channel that shows both football and The Big Bang Theory reruns. A week-long STEM summer camp for 8-12 year olds. Fútbot could be anything, and so it feels like nothing.

Fútbot is here to help you and give advice, and I suppose I do like that they made a new character for the role! I have been hard on Fútbot, but I would have NOTHING to say about this game without its presence. I would rather it be here! I also think it's neat that Fútbot is a representative of the Galactic Strikers Federation, implying a bit of new Outer Lore to Mario's universe. I COULD say that it makes sense it wouldn't look like a Mario character, since it's from a galactic organization, not limited to Mario's planet... but we know very well that there are Mario enemies all throughout Mario's galaxy and beyond! No excuse!

There is one great thing about Fútbot. Something I've been saving for the very end. Let's look closely.

These eyes. Bright, glowing cyan, with concentric rings within. They're not an exact match, but they absolutely bring to mind...

URBAN STINGBY LARVA! My beloved! Yeah! Woohoo! Who cares about foot bort or whatever its name is! This has become an Urban Stingby Larva post now!

Fact: Strike, or “Fighting Soccer”, is a five v. five, association football-like contact sport played on a pitch typically surrounded by electric fences.

The sport is incredibly competitive and sends the people of the Mushroom Kingdom into a chaotic frenzy when it’s played.

I remember really wanting to do a Bowsette pic on the Mario Strikers style back when they announced Battle League... I thought I'd end up playing that game waay more than I actually did, but I still got this pretty sick art imo :D!

Bowser's Shell Is Not Attached

So recently I've been in a conversation about Bower's shell and whether or not it comes off like all other turtle's shells do. Now outside of my previous post about how shells work in the Mario world, Bowser equipping different shells I remembered something else.

Bowser wears clothing underneath his shell, which implies his shell is a separate part of his body. We see this in Super Mario Odyssey when he is wearing his wedding tuxedo, it quite clearly goes under his shell. If his shell was attached to him, it would instead goes over his shell. This is also not a one time thing, we see it in other games. In Dr. Mario World with Dr. Bowser. We see it in Bowser's outfit for Mario Strikers: Battle League. We even see it in his outfit for Mario Golf: Super Rush.

An extra bit off info is Bowser's model in basically ever game has his shell as detached from his back. The video LEGIT Bowsers Back Hidden For At Least 17 Years - Boundary Break has some prime examples for it and is where these visuals come from. Bowser Junior's shell is also separate from his body. The only exception to this is Bowser's Smash Bros. model, which as we know Smash Bros. is not canon.

Just showing off my complete Mario video game collection on the Switch. Not shown is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which came digitally with my switch.

The older Mario games from my childhood should be in storage somewhere, I hope. Though, idk if they still work. And even if they did I think my mom let my sis in law sell most of the old systems anyway 😭

Currently still playing Super Mario Odyssey. I have like 750 or so power moons collected. So, close to 100% it! After Odyssey, I think I will play Wonder! ^^

So my new game arrived

Daisy Strikers Battle League

Fact: Pauline is Mario’s ex-girlfriend. She was kidnapped by Cranky Kong and, later, by the modern Donkey Kong on several occasions.

She is now the beloved mayor of New Donk City, known for her singing. Although Mario broke up with her, they remain good friends.
