#fire powerup

Could you maybe draw ladybug with the powerups you haven't drawn yet? (Earth, fire... I'm not sure if you already did water)

I drew all of them for convenience. I didn't really have an idea what to do for the fire pearl? But she ended up looking fine a bit bland but fine. I really like the ground pearl, she's so cute!

Thinking about how the most anxious and inexperienced version of Mario is paired up against the most unhinged and powerful version of Bowser.

Fire Pauline

its been a while since ive done a traditional Mario character in a power-up type of drawing. I used to do those all the time. I don't think I've done Pauline before, so I figured I should do a Fire Pauline

Ice Luigi is a being of ultimate power.

... I've been playing Mario & Luigi: Brothership a lot.

And the way the Ice Flower is introduced is ridiculously over-the-top and, in my opionion, quite funny.

FLAMIN' MONK DK (Fire Donkey Kong) by Mast3r-Rainb0w

So Fire Donkey Kong is a thing now, thanks to the final Mario Movie trailer (via Nintendo Direct 3.9.2023). I wonder if it'll eventually be canon someday in the games.

So have some fanart on this new form. His pose here is a deep-cut reference. If you’re also a fan, trust me, you’ll get it right away. Enjoy!

am I seriously considering compiling a headcanon Mushroom Kingdom flower language

Could you do prima queen with the power up stones then?

Done!

Part of Magic changing is that Powerups don't work the same way anymore. Some of them got different effects, some of them just flat-out lost their effects, a few of them came to life and started attacking people. Luigi's going to be in for a nasty shock if he ever comes across a Fire Flower.

Third Act Breakup

I was just thinking about what the climax of the Mario Movie will include, while also thinking about the games. Typically the hardest thing in the games is the castle levels before the boss fight, and not the actual boss fight, unless it's the final boss. With enough practice, even that will get easy, though.

But with (possibly) one try to get it all right with no prior experience? I imagine that Mario is not going to have a easy time both getting to Bowser and fighting him. The average human would definitely screw up under the pressure of the fight and the people watching them. So maybe he can't do it on his first try, even after so much training, and even after going through hell to get to this point. Maybe the 1-Up Mushroom will play into this, because you can go with the RPG logic or the Checkpoint logic.

If you go with the RPGs, he's revived after being "knocked out" and is shaken, but doesn't stop. Or he wakes up before getting to Bowser, and has to rethink the current strategy. If they go the Checkpoints, does only Mario remember, or does Luigi and Peach also remember what happened, since they're under the same rules (seeing as they're both playable in their own games). And does Bowser remember? He's also under the same rules, because he had an entire game built around players experiencing a game where Bowser was required to team up with Mario and Luigi.

I really want to seeing Mario being strategic about any fight he's in. we're clearly going to see his fierce loyalty and determination, but I want to see someone that sees the environment he's in, and makes a plan in his head to solve whatever problem he has, even if it doesn't work at first. It would also help with showing just why he's a hero later in the games. Because he rescues and protects people that are in any kind of danger, he never gives up on those that need his help, and his empathy is ultimately his driving force. I have to see just how far he's willing to go to get the job done. How painful it is to keep going, but how much deeper it'd cut to give up. Especially if it's his family in danger. Possibly the only family he has left.

I need this movie to be the best it can be. I want to see these two ordinary people be dragged down by the crazy world around them, and refuse to die. I want to see a Princess that has seen war on her front door for months or even years finally feel safety and hope. I want to see how far Bowser is willing to go to get what he wants, even if it seems like other people, like his children, are more invested in the smaller scale things. I want to see Kamek knowing more than he lets on about both the world and the two people they've declared to be their enemy. And I want this to hurt, seeing them explore more of themselves that they buried or just never realized was there.

The fire burns brightest when it's unleashed for the first time in eons, after all.
