new Paper Mario/Mario Story scenery (NSMB2 based)

To get my creative juices going again after the holidays, rather than another square-based data stage, I decided to try something else. Namely, a test for the future (and futureproofing)...

I made a little village, using recreated assets from one of the general Mario game's opening worlds. In this case, New Super Mario Bros 2's many World 1 features (striped plains, zigzag striped hills, trees, and other items) were made from scratch, since that one has more going for it than most of the other World 1's of the New Soup series.

Also included are some mushroom houses, in 3 of 5 colors (and I have all 5 colors made). However, those mushroom fellows aren't the only citizens of this town (with intentions to make more fitting abodes for other species in the future)...

A Green Koopa is eager to jump into the only Green Pipe in the village, with his green Toad pal catching up! Meanwhile, a green-er Toad has a lovely chat with a local Lochlady.

Nearby, two Koopas are having a VERY quick race, with a lovely Lochlady refereeing! Who will win this half-second sprint?!

Things aren't all happy in this island village, however. One Toad seems super blue, worrying his less blue pal...

To literally brighter pastures, Mario and Captain T Ode mull over what some of the locals are telling them, right near the port.

As a bonus render, due to a...mistake early on, I made New Super Mario Bros 1's more floral grass pattern instead of NSMB2's. While it doesn't quite match the other scenery, here it is anyway for a relatively quick comparison.

— moodboard with themes of Lake Kingdom for @sweet--sweet--muffin

[suppermariobroth]

Cheep Cheeps have fins that have long been noted to resemble wings, as well as a dorsal fin that resembles a mohawk. The models for Super Mario Odyssey internally label the body parts of creatures, and reveal that these are actually wings and a mohawk by labeling them as such, instead of fins. In addition, the rear fin is also labeled as a "tail", so that none of the Cheep Cheep's extremities are actually fins.

Note that other fish-like creatures like Maw-Rays and the Lochladies have their fins labeled as "fins", so that the Cheep Cheeps are the only fish with fins that are not called such by the developers. The possible implications about the nature of Cheep Cheeps that are raised by this anatomy are unclear.

Preliminary - Princess Peach (Mario Games)

WHO DID IT BETTER?!

                  An Event Where You Can Control Character Matches.

                    But you the Character isnt’ stated until the end

The game is simple. One scene with the different characters acting like the one.

                                               ROUND 1: BOWSER

They always said that the princess was in another castle. This phrase was always meant for the hero that the adventure was not over. That he would once again have to rise to the challenge. Repair his damaged armor and keep fighting to defeat the monster that protected the distant fortress.

What no one thinks about is the princess that was forced to wait within that far castle. Locked within sulfur-smelling, brimstone walls that were separated by thin windows. Those small gaps revealed the pillars of flames and flowing rivers of lava that littered the landscape. Each danger hiding potential enemies within the black sands.

Most princesses continued to believe despite all the menacing trails and heavy chains. Clinging to the idea that their little ray of sunshine can keep the anguish away.

Princess Pond was one such princess, following in the steps of her predecessors. The head held high, regardless of the chains that draped the steel door. Curses and curled fists ready to fight despite the magic keeping her at bay.

That same Princess flopped onto the large, blue and white bed as a huff of boredom left her lips. How long had she remained locked inside this room.

Lazily she kicked her feet and allowed her (E/C) eyes and mind to wander the room.

Like a rat running the same track her vision traveled along the white lines on the sea of blue. At the intersection of faux waves and sea was a bookshelf made of lake stone. One that she had looked at many times before, now appeared different. For the flames that erupted like geysers outside had revealed a thin line barley the width of a hair.

She slowly rose like an intrigued cat after a bird. Eyes focused on the line that became a faint outline the longer she stared. An outline that could potentially let her out.

As her fingers caressed the tempting ink.

BANG! CLANG!

Princess Pond’s (H/C) hair stung her eyes as she whipped around. Her lips parted in a small gasp as she gazed at the smoking, giant figure in the dark, open doorway.

“Hello, Princess.” He purred as he stepped into the light.

 America:

“K-king Koopa.” Princess Pond winced as she collided with the bookshelf. “What are you doing here?”

The king of the Koopas only chuckled as he strode closer. His heavy, black, studded boots crushed the carpet as he closed in.

His large, partially black-scaled arm slammed by her head. His sharp talons missed her (H/C) locks by mere fractions of a centimeter.  His head bowed slightly showing his fearsome horns as he gave her a serrated grin.

“(Y/N), my Princess of Ponds, you can call me Al.” He lowered his lips to be even with (Y/N)’s, allowing his breath to warm the frozen princess as he began to whisper. “After all, we’ll be married soon.”

As his sentence turned to air, Princess Pond felt his lips graze on her own.

With the flexibility and strength of an octopus, (Y/N) pushed Al back enough for her slip a small distance away.

As the king regained his footing, he stared her down with a frown before it rebloomed into that pointed smile that he was known for.

“Are nervous gettin’ to Princess?” He stalked closer.

“N-no…” She murmured as she once again backed away. (E/C) eyes glued to his approaching form like an injured cat on a rabid dog.

“Ya sure?” Al questioned as his tail snatched the terrified princess back into his arms. “Because it seems to me that you still don’t want to play nice.” Smoke began to leave his mouth at every other word as his hands tightened on her small wrists. “And if you don’t play nice, then you must not care for the Lochladies? Maybe” He growled. “I just need to get rid of them.”

“NO!” She screamed with tears in her eyes as she began to struggle. “You can’t do that to them! They’re innocent in all of this.”

“OH!?” He challenged. “What makes you think that I can’t?”

“Because Alfred wi-“

(Y/N) grunted as she was thrown on to the plush bed.

“DON’T EVER SAY THAT HUMAN’S NAME!” He roared as the tips of his blaze scorched the ceiling. “He can’t even hold a flicker to my flame. And you know what?!” He cackled with pure madness. “He won’t save you.”

She shivered as her tears never ceased to flow, lips trembling as she shook her head. Hair flying messily as she refused to believe him. Teeth gritting as her hope tightly gripped to the threads of Alfred’s chances of success.

Princess Pond flinched at the feeling of hot scales on her shoulder. Her eyes clenched tightly as she tried to fight against the force of the Koopa King pushing her down onto the cushioning.

“And you want to know why?” He hissed into her ear.

In a futile attempt at rebellion, she shook her head ‘no’ once more.

“Because Oli-mek is marrying us at sunrise.”

Romano:

The large Koopa King paused after stepping over the threshold. He paid no mind to the locking of chains behind him as he allowed (Y/N) to take in his form. His magenta eyes softening at having her full attention.

The Koopa’s normal, flamboyant attire had been retired for a white suit with a dull red accenting pattern. It’s sleeves rolled up above the elbow, revealing where the green scales became soft, olive human skin.  A white top hat sat between his ivory horns, concealing his fluffy blond streaked copper hair. Finally, to pull the outfit together, was his signature pair of rose sunglasses.

“What do you think, Princessa?” He spoke with a spin as he walked over to her. Catching her hands in his, bowed before his queen to be. A fanged smile glowing with joy as he looked up at her.

She licked her lips, umming softly as she looked away. Her eyes drifting back to the shelf. Eyeing the crease.

The feeling of constriction snapped her eyes back to her faux fiancé. His smile had tightened along with his hands.

“Princessa, I’m waiting.”

She murmured out a soft, “You look fine, your highness.” While her eyes darted back low.

(Y/N) heard the king’s heavy sigh and the smelt the accompanied scent of sulfur as smoke spilled downwards before rising like its master did as he stepped back.

“Princessa Pond,” He began before pausing and grabbed her hands once more. Drawing her gently into his chest, and tilting her head upwards with a scaled, clawed hand. “No, (Y/N), for us to be truly bonded you must stop these formalities. Call me Fabrizio, husband,” His voice dropped to a whisper as he leaned to her ear, licking it with his long tongue as the words came out like soft plea. “Or lover.”

“NO!” She screamed as she shoved Fabrizio backwards.

(Y/N) wiped the saliva off her ear. Angry puffs of breath escaped her as she cursed the king. Claiming that there was no love between them. Lovino, her true hero, had not only her heart but would come for her no matter what!

Through all her cries against Fabrizio, he remained quiet. A look of pity darkened his magenta eyes while his head quirked to left, leaning into the hand on his chin.

“Do you really think that vigliacco would actually try?” He lifted his hand away from his chin, waving it in the air as to emphasize his point. “After all, he ran when I came to collect you. He cried and hid when I called for him to defeat me in combat.” Fabrizio laughed. “That lo stupido couldn’t even defeat an upside down goomba!”

“YOU’RE WRONG!” (Y/N) buckled down on her defense of her champion. “I heard from your own guards that he’s defeated King Bob-omb!”

Like a bolt of lightning that streaked across a dark sky, Fabrizio pinned the princess against the wall. Growling as he forced her to be nose to nose with him.

“Princessa, it doesn’t matter if he defeated one of my men or one hundred. YOU ARE MINE.”

As (Y/N)’s tears began to flow, he stepped back. Huffing as he stomped out of the room. Screaming into the hall about hastening the preparations.

They were now to be married in three days’ time.

  WOULD SOMEONE ELSE BE A BETTER FIT? And if so who would be the hero?!

Peach recommended that Daisy should bring scuba gear when going to the lake kingdom, Daisy thought she could hold her breath. x3

Apparently there were going to be male equivalents to the Lochladies from the Lake Kingdom, but since that never made it into the game, I’ve decided to interpret the Lochladies as sexless beings. They have no sexual dimorphism whatsoever and any of them are capable of reproducing. Their society has no concept of sex or gender so any gendered terms they have were picked up from other kingdoms. Their true species name in their own language isn’t gendered at all, but they picked up calling themselves Lochladies due to everyone who encounters them perceiving them as ladies (which they initially did not understand).

As a result, there are plenty of Lochladies who go by masculine or androgynous pronouns and titles/honorifics (but still referring to themselves as a Lochlady).
