So my partner and I watched a friend of ours play ISAT and I kept going "this is just like Super Paper Mario", especially because there is art of the SPM cast but ISAT (done by @year2000electronics) and I was like. What if I redrew sprites with Luigi myself. So. I did. Mostly act 5 stuff because those sprites are crazy to me. Yes I will tag this for ISAT spoilers because ya no it totally is.

[waluigishairyballs]

[luckylunatix]

I'm starting to think I have a type and that type is "silly little green guy with a hat/hood and some kind of accent"

[itsamenickname]

The toughest part about this meme was the fact that there isn't a lot of interaction between Luigi and Bowser in the movie trailers/posters.

But to create a Bowuigi version of this meme and share it to the internet is so, so worth it. :)

SUPAH MARIO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mario dreaming about Peach in Super Mario Odyssey: a comprehensive version because the only other version I've seen left out the three "amore" clips and those are arguably the best ones

[pianokantzart]

All That Remains

One-shot based on @elitadream's Body Swap AU. It's set in the aftermath of Mario's eventual rescue, (it also comes with a few drawings because I was in a mood.) Please note that the Bowser I drew is, for the sake of consistency, based on elitadream's (fcking awesome) Bowser design, and is not my own take.

If you like this AU/concept, please check out the masterpost! There is soooo much good stuff on there.

________________________________

Inexperience and desperation fueled an inferno that turned the bright green fields on the outskirts of The Mushroom Kingdom as black as the heart of The Darklands. Kamek clung to his broom high above the mayhem, and through the smoke and roaring flames he caught glimpses of the two warring bodies, each utterly detached from their senses, unaware of either fatigue or pain as they grappled for dominance in a struggle far more explosive than anything he had witnessed before. Mario alone– equipped with Bowser’s body– seemed to have some sort of a goal beyond delivering as much damage as possible. As clumsy as he was with his giant claws and heavy form, he remained keenly aware of where Luigi and Princess Peach were, and always made sure he was positioned to shield them from the worst of the heat.

Though Luigi and Peach struggled to assist in whatever way they could, the raging inferno that encompassed the fight made even comprehending what was happening around them near impossible, and even Kamek, accustomed to the fire whirl and magma pits of home, felt overwhelmed. Yet, out of fear for his king, he ventured closer, weaving about the spires of flames upon his broomstick to get a better look.

Though Mario and Bowser alike were to blame for the surrounding destruction, he was surprised to find a majority of the fire was radiating from the body of the plumber. Bowser had wielded firebrand with reckless abandon, clearly unaware of such magic’s limitations, barely even noticing the redness and blisters forming upon his skin wherever patches of his gloves and sleeves had been burned away. Mario’s body was more resistant to heat than that of the average human, but it– unlike Bowser's original body– was not immune. Kamek’s concern grew into a subdued panic when, at length, the fire began to lose intensity. Bowser strained to refuel the inferno, staring with unfocused confusion at his all-too-human hands as he struggled to make sparks when he once constructed torrents of white hot flames. He didn’t know what was happening, but Kamek could tell that the abused body was finally failing him. As the heat died down, Luigi and Peach slowly made their approach, careful to avoid the patches of earth that boiled red-hot from the encounter. Seeing where the chips fell, Kamek knew what needed to be done. Thankfully, the spell that had switched Bowser and Mario’s bodies– though difficult to conduct– was childsplay to undo. With the wave of his wand and a whispered charm, both souls were returned to their original form. Luigi and Peach witnessed the flash of light, and the great change in both Mario’s and The Koopa King’s expression.

Immediately, Bowser felt it: the weight of being and the connection to his old flesh. Like waking from a heavy sleep he noted the tiredness in his arms and the ache in his chest, as well as the pain of the bruises and the burns he himself had inflicted in his scuffle with a borrowed body. His newfound sense of weakness triggered a rage. A low, familiar growl rumbled throughout his draconic form as he turned toward the magikoopa hovering nearby.

“Kamek!” he roared, “I did not order you to return me to my body!” Kamek’s broom came to a landing at Bowser’s side– now the true Bowser, through and through. Kamek had expected his lord to be displeased, and yet he couldn’t help flinching, clutching his wand to his chest at the severity of the voice. “I’m sorry sire, but I had no choice! Your old vessel, it… it could not carry on!” “What!?” Bowser blew a puff of smoke and looked to where Mario stood, although “stood” may have been too strong a term. The little plumber– himself, slowly growing aware of his own body– wobbled unsteadily in place. Outside of the injuries he’d undergone in the fight there were other markings; his cheeks sallow and his eyes sunken, his breath labored and his lips cracked and chapped. His knees began to buckle, and the princess and Luigi rushed together to catch him before he hit the ground. Bowser smirked, taking no small amount of satisfaction in the fear that flashed through Mario’s eyes as he steadily crumbled into the arms of his companions.

“See? Your efforts weren’t for naught.” Kamek continued cheerfully, “your hated enemy is defeated, worn thin through ‘his’ decimation of The Mushroom Kingdom’s defenses. We merely need to press forward with the invasion, and victory shall be yours!...”

Kamek was about to continue, when he was interrupted by a violent flash of blue light and the crack of thunder. Luigi had left his brother in the arms of the princess and leapt in front of them, electricity shooting from an outstretched hand, across the charred plane, into the body of the magician.

Kamek, blindsided, received the attack with full-force. He jittered and contorted, unable to emit so much as a shriek as electricity ricocheted through his elderly body, until at length he fell to the ground limp as a ragdoll.

All eyes shifted to Luigi. 

Anyone who had fought with The Mario Brothers, whether as their ally or opponent, knew firebrand had horizontal range and thunderhand had vertical range. Both were capable of incredible destructive power in close quarters, and when Mario and Luigi worked as a team, few had the opportunity to get near enough to feel the full force of their magic. By all accounts, Kamek should have been out of range. Even Luigi appeared utterly bewildered by what he just accomplished, breathing heavily as he looked at his own hands, shivering from adrenaline and sparking uncontrollably.

Bowser, equally confused, bent down at Kamek’s side, and examined him in a moment of what appeared to be genuine concern. With the enemy distracted, Luigi took a step back toward Princess Peach to deliver the harried bullet points of his plan. “You need to get him to The Mushroom Kingdom before the invasion. Get Mario help. Get everyone ready. I’ll keep him busy.” “Luigi!” The princess’ voice was pleading as she gathered Mario into her arms. Truthfully, she knew Luigi’s idea wasn't a bad one. Bowser’s body, despite being in better condition than Mario’s, had not emerged from the battle unscathed. Given the current circumstances, Luigi stood a chance of holding his own, and The Mushroom Kingdom desperately needed time to ready its defenses before Koopa Troops showed up in droves to carry out Bowser’s planned attack. Nonetheless, Peach detested the thought of abandoning him. He had suffered too much on his own already. Furthermore, he and Mario had just been reunited, and she preferred any other possible avenue over splitting them apart again.

Luigi glanced over his shoulder, and forced a reassuring smile that didn't quite fit his words: “I’m sorry! I was so scared I- I didn’t do anything right! I should’ve done more… protected everyone sooner." His voice cracked, those old familiar tears forming in the corner of his eyes. "Please, let me do things right this time.”

Mario, through his fight to maintain consciousness, heard every word, and hated them with every fiber of his being. He attempted to speak, to reach out for his brother, to do anything to console him… but his tongue cleaved to the roof of his mouth and his arms hung limply at his sides. All he could manage was a barely-audible murmur. Luigi had no right to feel this way. He wasn’t the one who had fallen for Bowser’s trap, who had allowed himself to be chained up in the underbelly of the world, who had given over to despair. Luigi, through no fault of his own, had been suddenly abandoned to the whims of a monster, and yet he had escaped and traveled all the way to The Darklands to save him. How could he feel guilt for this? How could he feel anything but proud of himself?

“Luigi…” Peach whispered, but before she could say anything more, there came a thudding of heavy steps. A giant clawed hand cast a shadow over them as Bowser, who realized by now that Kamek wouldn’t be roused any time soon, rushed forward to finish the fight. Luigi leapt over the attack on instinct while The Princess rolled out of the way, holding Mario close to her chest as Bowser’s heavy hand shattered the earth inches from her back. The King of The Koopas turned to Peach, poised to bring down another blow, when Luigi landed upon the back of his neck. One hand clung to his horn, while the other slammed down against the thick, scaly skin of his neck to deliver another pulse of electricity. This time, Bowser felt it, and the sound of his pained roar fueled Luigi’s determination. “Go your highness!” He shouted, struggling to maintain his grip as Bowser fought to shake him off, “I won’t be far behind!” Princess Peach hurried to her feet, hesitating for only a moment longer as she tightened her hold on Mario's body. She felt him grow limp, heard his labored breath slow, and felt the decision had all but been made for her. With a heavy heart she turned and ran toward The Mushroom Kingdom, pouring whatever magic she left into Mario's unconscious form. The burns could be fixed easily, but the effects of starvation, dehydration, and sleep deprivation were not so easily undone. Slow damage required slow remedies, and the worst of his condition had been over a week in the making.

She didn’t dare look back, keeping her eyes focused on the twinkle of the castle’s familiar stained glass window in the distance, shining like a beacon above clouds of ash and smoke as the world behind her echoed with the sound of monstrous roars and crackling thunder.

HC that when it comes to each-other the WarioWare crew just has no concept of personal space. With the kind of weird bullshit they've all been through together they've been stuck in so many small spaces all at once in so many different combinations that it just doesn't really register anymore, especially in cases like with Dribble and Spitz where they were used to that sort of thing already and Wario who just plain has no shame whatsoever. So they'll just lean all over each-other, grab somebody and pull them over if they need to show them something, the smaller characters will literally climb up onto the bigger ones, on one memorable occasion when Wario picked 9-Volt up from school he literally picked him up and tucked him under his arm like luggage with 9-Volt not even looking up from his game.

Granted on some occasions some of them do need some space, usually Ashley, 13-Amp and Doris-1 (since Ashley's...well, Ashley, 13-Amp's still relatively new to the group as a whole even though she's been friends with the Volts for a while now, and Doris spent several decades alone in the woods and robot or not that's not something that just goes away), and most of them are pretty good at picking up on when they should back off.

At one of the first big Extended Mario Cast meetups some of the characters who don't know Wario all that well were surprised when they saw That Guy with almost a half-dozen small children an elderly gentleman and a cat dude basically using him as a jungle gym while he was chatting with Peach seemingly oblivious to the whole thing. Then they noticed Bowser walk past with almost all of his own kids riding his shell and quickly decided not to start anything by bringing it up.

Idea that Mario Tennis is the first time Daisy n Luigi saw each other and they both were down bad for each other. Also I think Daisy would just casually call someone a wet rag in the most /affectionate way possible.

Hmmm, soulmates au?

Soulmate AU where you can feel the other's pain

It goes without saying that Mario and DK get beat up

A lot

Mario is bullied growing up, and so it's not uncommon for him to come home with bruises and scrapes

Things only get worse when people try to bully Luigi

Mario can tolerate people bullying him (to a certain extent) but he will never allow people to pick on his brother

So now, in addition to people picking fights with him, he starts getting into fights with people who try to mess with Luigi

As a result, pain is a frequent occurrence for Mario

Donkey Kong is concerned

Warrior training starts young for his people, but he's been feeling pain from an even younger age, and some of the pain that he feels from his soulmate occurs outside of training hours

DK isn't worried at first, but as he grows up, and he feels the pain become more frequent, the more he grows concerned

He worries that someone is beating up his soulmate, and so he keeps a lookout for anyone in his kingdom that might be picked on

He doesn't find anything

But Donkey Kong's always looking, and hopes that one day he can find his soulmate and make sure that no one ever hurts them again

He acknowledged that he's a hypocrite though

His injuries are in some way voluntary, but he worries that it's not the same for his soulmate

He trains constantly and is often entering into battles, experiencing pain on a regular basis

DK feels bad because he doesn't want to cause his soulmate any more pain, but at the same time he knows that he has to do this

He works hard in training to make sure that in fights he won't acquire any unnecessary injuries

Mario also worries about his soulmate, he hopes that whoever it is doesn't have to go through what he does

After Mario falls through the pipe and ends up traveling to the Jungle Kingdom, he finally meets DK on the battlefield

Their battle takes a different turn when they can feel each other's pain

Donkey Kong is ready to defeat this puny (kinda attractive) human, to prove his worth to his father and to make sure he's not conscripted into a battle that might cause his soulmate to feel pain that they don't deserve

Mario has been fighting his whole life, and even though he knows he's in for pain, he's ready for it

Neither of them are ready for this

This battle immediately does not go well

Donkey Kong gets in a killer first blow, and immediately reels back in pain

Mario is not doing well after the hit, but uses DK's confusion at feeling unknown pain to his advantage

Even though he's not very strong, he manages to give Donkey Kong a pretty good punch

And immediately feels bad

At this point they are both confused

They've felt pain at the same time as their soulmate a few times before, but never like this

Donkey Kong is stunned into silence, wondering what's going on

Mario pinches himself

Donkey Kong winces

They stare at each other

Mario/DK: You're my soulmate?!

Cranky puts his head in his hands, because of course this human is Donkey Kong's soulmate

Donkey Kong runs over to Mario and gives him the largest hug possible while profusely apologizing

DK: I'm so sorry I never meant to cause you more pain I was so worried about you and yet I still managed to hurt you I'm such an idiot-

Mario kisses him so he'll shut up

DK shuts up
