Reflecting back on my Mario fan character.
Fun facts: Her design was inspired by Lyra from Pokemon HGSS, it was made as a slight towards a crappy AI slop image of Mario’s “”daughter””, and her name is Mariana (The ‘Mari’ in her has the same sound as the ‘Mari’ in Mario).

2025 vs. 2016.
I was looking around my old school files and rediscovered some old tiles I was trying to make back then. These tiles in particular were based off M&L PiT’s Peach’s Castle.
I’m thinking of starting a small thing and polishing these old assets.

Ended up updating my sprite again as I was reformatting the main sheet. Gonna finish organizing stuff, then I’ll try to do some more action animations for the project.
(Original hat shape & mustache on the left, while the new hat shake & stache is on the right).

I also redid his walk cycle late last night.
He has a little more bounce in his step, his torso has movement, and his arms flow better.

Well, my Mario sprite project is officially continued. Here’s some progress on the Mushroon Kingdom tileset, Peach’s MKW Touring outfit, and a retouched jump animation for my Mario. All still a WiP.

Can’t believe I even revisited this.
For newcomers, the original is on the right, the alteration is on the left.

And now, for something awesome!
I did a fix to my Mario sprite’s eye color and skin tone to feel more consistent with the portrait, and I also made a new life icon for him too.

I updated the side view of his head over a month ago, though I’ve been thinking, what if I added shoulder pads to the design?
(Also might try to make a graph explaining how he functions).

How many minds would explode if I somehow managed to adapt this image with the portrait sprites?
