Box art, posters, marketing material in general, they say something about the intentions and emphasis of a work. Today we study what Nintendo decided to highlight in the Super Mario Box Arts, specifically which characters are the most important in the series.

The official stance of CMeeCraft Gaming is that fake blocks from Super Mario 3D Land are mere objects unworthy of being counted as a character. However, IF you were to consider them as a character, they'd have 1 appearance giving them a tie for 28th most appearances. Their weighted score would be 0.95 placing them between Co-star Luma and Plessie.

@YoloYester94 21 день назад

If you do another one of these videos, I was initially thinking the Zelda series since it’s the logical next step considering your channel, but I realize a lot of the box art from older games don’t feature much, so my thinking is that Sonic should be the next logical step. Though I don’t think I’ve seen you play Sonic.

Objection: Counting the swarm of fish as 46 appearances would be like counting both Mario and Luigi as the same character because they're both human. Instead, each of the ~46 fish should have counted as one appearance and had their own spot on the ranking.

There's only two appearances of Mario in the SMM artwork. Two of them are afterimages, so unless you wanna count shadows (effects of light), there's only two. Also Goomba Toad in Wonder is just Toad. It's like a power up, he isnt controlling a Goomba, he just is one.

Great, now go over the Japanese box arts next. The Japanese boxart for Super Mario Bros 1, for instance, is actually very different with _loads_ of characters (but still no Luigi).

@Stephen-Fox 17 дней назад

Zelda would be the obvious place to go next. An alternate weighting algorithm might be using prominance on the boxart in terms of size and location (...There are two approaches you could take for location - serious analysis involving action lines, rule of thirds, etc, i.e. doing proper analysis of the framing - or emulate the Pokemon Snap algorithm and go strictly by how close to the center the character is. I think both would be pretty funny in basically opposite ways)
