Paper Mario Possibilities Part 2

Here is the second of my daughter's series of "What if characters from Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door were humans?" work.

Paper Mario Possiblities Part 1

My daughter was reading a gaming magazine that their friend Q brought to our house one day. She showed me an artist's reinterpretation of some of the Mario characters with a less-cartoony, more-horrifying style. Suddenly those piranha plants are even more menacing! Funny thing is, my girl already did something similar with a series of her own illustrations. What would some of the Paper Mario characters look like if they were humanoid? Here's her interpretations, in her favored drawing style.

Time for some art from my daughter for a change!

Sometimes my daughter gets "conscripted" by her brother to draw things for him. Other times, she draws them because she wants to give her brother a present or she is merely inspired herself to create. When she was younger, she drew in a variety of styles. As she has aged, she prefers to draw in a manga manner.

This drawing is a picture of all the helpers that exist in Paper Mario, drawn in a classic Japanese manga style. It's a gift for her little brother. Hope he appreciated all the details!

Skylander Dialogue

My children saw something in our local Toys R Us store that has the potential to be this Christmas' hottest commodity - Skylanders. It's a video game but it also appeals to collectors because you can purchase figurines that can add new characters to the game but are sturdy enough to be played with. The family did some research on the new product and are quite enthralled - enough that they wrote this dialogue between characters.

Transmedia Property Pt 2 - Potential Episodes

Yesterday's post displayed the intro screen to my son's imaginary new Kirby TV show. Above are the titles of the possible episodes.

Transmedia Property? Been there, done that!

Have you ever watched the old cartoon "Kirby: Right Back At'cha"? My kids were too young when it first came out but thanks to their father's Internet explorations, they've watched most of the episodes online. They enjoyed it quite a bit, especially King Deedeedee and his malapropisms. Naturally, this inspired my son to imagine a new Kirby TV show. His is called "Kirby: clues for the warp star" and he pictures many cross-overs with other Nintendo properties. Look for tomorrow's post to see a list of episodes.

More Remakes? This One's Imaginary!

We realize that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is just a souped-up version of Super Mario Galaxy. We know that Kirby's Return to Dreamland is is very similar to Kirby's Dreamland. Despite the lack of originality, we still buy the new version of these games - or at least my family does. My son imagined a new twist to a possible remake - Super Kirby Galaxy. This is a drawing of his vision of the game.
