Redrew that one unused Goomba sprite from SMB3

[luigikittykat]

Treated myself to a drawing tablet, and decided to redraw one of my older drawings with it. I've been drawing with a mouse prior, and let me tell you, I should've gotten a tablet ages ago lol

Under the cut is the OG drawing from 2020.

Once, while I was playing the SMRPG remake, my mom said she thinks that Goombas are cute.

She's right, tbh

Boos: Am I a joke to you

If you didn't see the newest trailer for the Mario movie, spoilers ahead!

Bowser appreciation time!

Look at this spectacular creature! He's so dramatic and amazing! And Jack Black's voice, my goodness! I have no words. The shots featuring the Koopa Kingdom are just gorgeous.

I mean!!! Look at it!! It's so beautiful!! It's every bit as dramatic and foreboding as I wanted it to be!

Also the Goombas??? I'd die for all of them, LOOKIT their grumpy faces!!!! I have a feeling these little guys are gonna give us a lot of laughs!

Koopa hype aside, good to see these two getting along. They're gonna have such dudebro energy, calling it now. Also, the effects when they use a power-up looks absolutely amazing!

Mareach my beloved!! Also, why did they light a fire surrounded by fire flowers?? Idc, they're adorable!

Ofc I had to include these shots of Luigi, the expressions are so amazing. This whole scene was incredible! Poor baby, someone save him!

In conclusion, this movie looks absolutely beautiful, the character models are awesome, the effects and surroundings are tear-jerkingly gorgeous, and the story has so much potential. I'm so excited for this movie, you have no idea!

Question. Are there friendly versions of goombas, koopas, etc in your Mario AU?

Absolutely! :3

I've talked a little about my interpretation of the koopas in this post, and I believe I've mentioned the bob-ombs a little while back as well.^^

But to briefly summarize the idea, I like to imagine that all and any species that doesn't live in the Dark Lands under Bowser's reign is actually quite peaceful and pretty friendly! Having free will and no pressure to fight for a frightful King would show immediately in their much mellower and meeker temperament. Even some Boos are completely benign in my version, though they're admittedly rare. Most of them are either annoyingly mischievous, deceptive or downright malevolent (as seen in canon). xP 🫣👻

The Goom Buffoons are bringing their clown act to Super Mario Spikers! Their weird playstyle of hiding inside a clown shoe may not get the best results but it CERTAINLY gets the best laughs!

This character was added for a comm. from Twitter!

stinky smelly short turd mushroom thing..... ngl it looks like a Goomba from the red luigi games its so cute i wanna drop kick it then repeatedly stomp on it until it's brain bursts out all mushy and then tell it to fuck off

disclaimer: i have never played a mario game in my life. but i do watch gameplays of them

[titleknown]

A reason why I love the Mario fandom: They can do a video using scraps of lore to connect Goombas to the Tower of Babel and they can make it work on a thematic level.

(Channel is Mario Unhinged, a newish one but highly underrated IMO)

Luigi no

Goombas Bite And Bunt

There is apparently an old interview with Miyamoto that talks about how when you bump into a Goomba in Super Mario Bros. and take damage, you are being bitten by the Goomba. The reason you don't see it is because of sprite limitation. The reason other games don't show it is basically they simply didn't animate it, and nobody was enforcing the depiction of this. However, there is some media that does depict this.

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, one of the attacks Goombas use is to bite you. While not canon to the games there is a scene in The Super Mario Bros. Movie where Goomba is biting on another Goomba, a reference to this characteristic. Finally most recently in Super Mario Bros. Wonder when you run into Goombas an animation of them biting you plays.

Also, Goombas don't just try to bite Mario and friends, Goombas also charge at you as well. This can be seen in any 3D Mario game, and even in Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser. Bowser's Minions actually calls attention to this. Captain Goomba: "I'm used to fighting Mario! For now...I'll just keep bashing!"

This is also why hypotheses that have Mario as evil and Goombas as completely harmless don't work, it contradicts was is established in canon.

Best Seat In The House: bowser x luigi

luigi is chosen as the ambassador for the mushroom kingdom, bowser’s council try to kick him out on the technicality that you must be seated to participate in negotiations

luckily, the best seat in the house is right at the front of the table

or: luigi is tired and 2 can play at being petty

big thanks to AllageAntelope from twitter for helping translate and collab on the italian dialogue

Best Seat In The House (also on ao3)

Luigi was tired. He was tired and hungry and just wanted to do his ambassador job negotiations with Koopa Kingdom already. This was the third time traveling back and forth between kingdoms and Bowser’s council kept locking him out on the grounds of ‘You must be seated to participate in negotiations, Ambassador Greenie‘.

Ugh!! It wasn’t his fault there were never any seats provided! Every time the green plumber arrived, announced and everything, all the seats had been filled up by council members. No one would bring him a chair either!

He sighed, clutching the strap of his messenger bag and looking at the, once again, full table. An assortment of older goombas, koopa troopas, and what have you were talking to each other amicably but he could tell they were laughing at him in the middle of it all.

“Ambassador Green ‘Stache!” A bespeckled Boo greeted him, smirk on her translucent face. “So good of you to join us! Come, come, take a seat.”

“Vecchio troglodita rimbambito,” he muttered under his breath.

“What was that, dear?”

“Nothing, Signora Beatrix,“ he smiled.

“Hmmm,” she said, floating back to her seat.

Luigi let out a sigh. Now, where to sit, where to sit. Looking around, it seemed like no one would help him again this time either. He spotted Bowser at the head of the table, talking to a decorated veteran Goomba.

The two made eye contact and the plumber almost felt hopeful- until the king sneered at him and turned back to the Goomba. Ok, that’s it. If they wanted to be petty, he could too.

Strengthening his resolve, Luigi thanked the Boo and started marching towards the other end of the room.

“Excuse me, Signore,” he addressed the Goomba, the two pausing their conversation. “But I’d like to get to my seat, per favore.”

Bowser snorted, the force almost knocking Luigi’s hat off. “The hell’re you on about, Greenie?” He growled, shooing away the Goomba.

Luigi looked at him. “I’m-a just taking my seat, like everyone keeps-a telling me to do,” he deadpanned, before performing a jump and landing on the throne’s arm rest. The room quickly devolved into chaos, council members hooting and hollering for the plumber to get down.

“Ambassador Green Mario, this is highly inappropriate, get down from there at once!” a Blooper garbled from the large fishbowl perched on a chair, water splashing onto the rug.

“My name,” Luigi said, “Is-a Luigi, Signora Blombell.”

The Blooper in question sputtered angrily. How dare-

“But I-a suppose you’re right.”

Everyone calmed down as the plumber made to get off of the arm rest-

Only for him to slide onto Bowser’s lap instead.

“The best seat should-a be reserved for foreign guests, no?”

Luigi paid them no mind as he got comfortable, butt on the king’s thigh and back against the arm rest he’d been sitting on previously. He could feel the king jolt in surprise but ignored it in favor of finally being able to take the official papers and note taking supplies out of his bag.

“GWAHAHAHAHA!!”

The room fell silent at the king’s boisterous laugh; who knew Greenie- no, Luigi, could have such a petty side to him? It took balls to disrespect another kingdom’s royalty outside of their usual battles, and Bowser could respect that, to an extent.

A heavy clawed hand whacked the plumber on the back for finally growing a spine, and in such a hilarious way too! Said plumber made a disgruntled sound when his papers, and himself, almost fell.

Gathering his items, Luigi side glared at him and readjusted so he was basically straddling Bowser’s leg while using the king’s knee as a table. Oh. Well.

Bowser’s eyebrows jumped in surprise, the shorter man must’ve really been pissed off if he wasn’t even acknowledging such a scandalous pose. He coughed. He knew his kingdom was hot but was it getting even hotter or was it just him? Ah, whatever.

“Start the meeting,” he said, leaning on the opposite arm rest with his cheek in his hand.

“But, Sir-”

“Doesn’t matter,” Bowser growled, “We’ve wasted enough time. Start. It.”

And with that, negotiations with the Mushroom Kingdom finally started. And if Bowser sneaked a few peaks at Luigi’s ass, well, that was his business.

Bonus:

bowser gets bored during normal meetings and jiggles his leg sometimes

he forgets luigi’s on his lap and starts doing it but luigi grunts at him and uses his thighs to tighten his hold  so he won’t fall off

because luigi’s using bowser’s knee as a writing surface and said knee is lower than a table cuz he’s sitting on it, luigi has to bend over a little to write comfortably

this means that sometimes, when writing notes, he’s got his hands on bowser’s knee trying to keep the papers flat and bowser keeps noticing his butt

thankfully the council members don’t notice cuz they’re all debating with each other

kamek notices bowser noticing tho ( ;=-=)

stupid sexy luigi, distracting him from his meeting LINK to simpsons reference

Mephistopheles suggested that her froggy self suggest the group juggle eggs, and I realized in the middle of writing the dialogue that Goombas don’t have hands to juggle with. Fortunately, they can use their heads, and Ledyba has lots of hands!
