Weird Changes to Mario Characters 

personally, daisy being tanned makes sense since she is a desert princess so....

King Boo is another example of a child actor ruined by drugs

"What if we make him a Heroin addict?"-DonShnak

I agree with Daisy's red crown she would've been different and had more of a autumn theme going on

They really can't make their mind about Daisy. I think she became tanned again.

I think Yoshi standing upright is a subtle change. Actually, I like to believe he can choose to stand hunched over or upright.

The King Boo in Sunshine is a different one, his Japanese name is different. He's known as Boss Boo over there.

The tan look is much better for Daisy.

I think the reason for Daisy's shorter hair is that they wanted to make her look a bit more tomboyish, which makes sense

I like how they're actually beginning to bring back Daisy's darker skin tone in all the new games (which I believe started with the newest golf or party game iirc)

I liked Daisy's new hair design but I wish they kept everything else, I liked her dark skin and the red crown, and her silly personality. 🥺🥺🥺

I like Daisy with a tan, I think it makes her feel sporty which fits well with her tomboyish personality. It also looks good with the rest of her color palette.

daisy's design in mario tennis was peak

Koopas suddenly went from standing on all-fours, to standing on two legs

The reason so many returning enemys (And Yoshi) are weird in sunshine is because they are imitations drawn by Bowser Jr.

"What if we made him a heroin addict" pretty much describes every enemy design in Mario Sunshine. Not even Mario Wonder has gotten that close since.

the melty blood music in the background

Yoshi just went through evolution. That's what dinosaurs do, and one day, he might be a chicken

“She stopped hitting the tanning parlor.” 😂

in Mario Land artwork she has light-skinned, maybe she just likes tanning once in a while

Shy guy has undergone zero changes in design because he is already perfect

"What if we make him a heroine addict" 💀

There was a weird change to the Super Mario RU-vidr “Don Shnack” too, some say he was once called “Shnack Plays”…

I will note, Daisy was significantly paler in the original artworks for SML outside of the box art. Her becoming darker looking in 3D renders is something that all of the characters underwent back in the N⁶⁴ era as they were still figuring out skin texturing (heck, Mario looks yellow in many renders) so it's not like the GameCube redesign came completely out of the blue.

modern daisy looks completely different peach. not just the hair style. the face is different. she's got a more square head, no lip stick. the mouth is closer to the nose.

King boo feels like the kind of guy would be addicted to heroin!

“What if we made him a Heroin addict?” That sounds like something GrayStillPlays would do to any character…

Dude, I cannot explain the sound that left my lungs upon seeing that one iteration of King Boo

Daisy could get one of those seasonal tans. She does live in a kingdom that is only partially desert. (Also, she is dating Luigi and Italian tans can be weird.)

i feel like if daisy’s older design and silly personality came back playing as her would be 10x more fun, i do like her as she is rn and she has a lot of nostalgic value for me but ngl i like her old design a lot

I mean daisys desing went from Princess reskin to tough as heck tomboy

God i love Melty blood music

i miss daisies tan, it suited her so well

Daisy be making me feel some type of way

I wish they kept her tan because it really fit her warm colour palette. I’m glad they gave her a different hairstyle because it gave her more of an individuality.

The rhythmic bustle is glorious

Peach herself also changed. In the original Super Mario Bros. for the NES she had a white dress and brown hair. And her name was different. While in japan she was always Peach, in the west her name was Toadstool, until we see her as Peach in Super Mario 64. Super Mario RPG for the Super NES is the last time she was called Toadstool in a game.

Imo I've always preferred Daisy's original design in the N64 era, I always thought she looked a bit weird and sickly with the much fairer skin. Tan suits our girl best since she's the princess of a desert kingdom and shown to be the most active/sporty of the group, which means she'd likely be outside a lot.

I love Yoshi’s design In melee, I do main him after all. I do love and miss the older Daisy design because it looked like she was from another country

I always preferred when Yoshi stood like an actual dinosaur.

Daisy’s glow up will always be one of my absolute favorite redesigns. She went from “Peach with airport problems” to the baddest bitch in the Mushroom Kingdom… or Sarasaland, however you slice it.

I love Daisy's modern look. She's adorable.

"What if we made him a Heroin addict" had me ballin my eyes out of laughter 😂

King Boo from Sunshine was definitely off a perc

Daisy was absolutely made more sense with the tan, and we can always use more characters that aren't just straight pale

I wish Daisy kept her tan to be honest I really like the short hair though

Sunshine enemy designs were crazy looking, got wasted looking Boos, digital watch bomb ombs, and bloopers with DSLs

Lmao the Melty Blood music

I honestly much prefer daisy with darker skin

King boo is an easy explanation, he’s on vacation too and has been hitting up the buffet 24/7

You could argue that Mario Sunshine takes place after Luigi's Mansion... Perhaps Luigi had something to do with all the Boos simultaneously crashing hard on heroin

I love Sunshine's weird takes on the design of enemies.

Song name: Rhythmical Bustle

They took Daisy's melanin 😢

Yoshi's old design made more since considering he was a Dinosaur steed. Daisy went from okay to having a creepy baby face.

I miss tan Daisy honestly. She’s the princess of a desert world. It just makes sense and also visually sets her apart from the other female characters.

King Boo in Sunshine is actually suggested not to be the original King Boo but a drawing of him brought to life by the magic brush! This also applies to the game's Boos! Mind you, they are a different character altogether in the Japanese version!

It's very likely there's more than one King Boo; considering we continue to come across normal looking King Boos. The one in Luigi's Mansion also used to look normal if Super Mario 64 DS is to go by (and Mario canonically did encounter him off-screen in the N64 version). Even then, the one in Super Mario Sunshine wasn't even supposed to be a King Boo. His real name in the Japanese version is Big Boss Boo. However, the localizers ended up mucking that up.

Bro, princess Daisy is a total smash 💀

"She stopped hitting the tanning parlor" and the gym apparently

Nintendo was on their Genshin Impact saga when they whitewashed Daisy to oblivion.

There's actually many differences between Peach and Daisy. More of the fact they are well "opposites". Furthermore details on her character are different if you look close enough. Like how Peach has more sharper features and daisy has round features. Mostly in their face. You just need to look close enough

I actually like daisy better with tanned skin because y’know, her kingdom is a desert and all

I want everyone to take a look at Azalea from Mario Golf: Advance Tour, because I have a conspiracy theory that they wanted to make Daisy more recognizable, so they basically stole Azalea's design and put in on Daisy.

Yoshis design changes go FAR beyond just not being as hunched over anymore. They changed his nose into a bowling ball, made his cheeks smaller, and basically turned his eyes into his entire head. His arms got longer, and his neck was erased. Modern 2D Art has created a brand new design that basically uses the old head and neck on his new body. If you wanna see something cursed, look up NSMBWii's standalone Yoshi art. It's cursed as heck, and it's because his new body isn't meant to be that hunched over. Daisy's facial change was definitely for the better, but ditching the tan was dumb. It's cool that that's back in her design in the more recent games. Her dress change made her look MUCH more like Peach than she ever did, so they definitely weren't trying to differentiate them by making those changes. King Boo in Sunshine-- and many of the enemies in general --look weird because they were painted by Bowser Jr.

Melee Yoshi was something else!

I think the Daisy redesign was the best choice. Daisy best gurl.

The Red Revolution would've never happened if the workers were given cake.

i seriously wish they kept tan daisy atleast😭it would make more sense as well her being a desert princess

The running yoshi are hilarious and never get old.

I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention that for whatever reason, Boos went from having a more SMW accurate design in the earlier builds of Super Mario 64 and in the post-N64 games to weirdly enough having blue eyes in the final product of Super Mario 64. That stopped being a thing by the time of the Nintendo Gamecube.

i like the melty blood background music

BRING BACK DAISY'S MELANIN‼️

I much prefer Daisy’s GameCube redesign as it makes her a lot more distinct. The flower motif is more prevelant, her skin is a little lighter (though sometimes people think that she lives in a desert even though Sarasaland has various biomes), and she has a different hairstyle. The way that she’s essentially a retooling of Peach makes her more fitting for Luigi as he was just a palette swapped Mario at first.

Sarasaland is literally based on several different countries all where people of colour live, it made sense that Daisy had naturally dark skin and I'm genuinely kind of upset that they lightened her because she was like the only non white Mario character

Loving the shorts mate

I see everyone talking about the Daisy skin fiasco. As a black person and a huge Daisy fan, Daisy was never melanin. When she debuted, she originally had pale skin. Look at her Super Mario Land artwork. Eventually, that look carried on in NES Open Tournament. When Mario Tennis 64 came out, that’s when nintendo designed Daisy to have a darker skin tone (keep in mind, it’s not black or melanin, it’s darker somewhat similar to a tan look). But in the in game model, her skin tone looked exactly like Peach. Finally, when Mario Party 3 came out, nintendo kept the darker skin Daisy in the artwork and incorporated that into the in game model. She didn’t have a tanned/darker skin tone when she first debuted in her super mario land artwork but the n64 era is how we remember her look. Then the redesign happened and Daisy now had a skin tone close to her debut appearance. What made me not like her new redesign is the fact that nintendo basically copied and pasted another nintendo character look onto Daisy…and that character was Azalea (from Mario Golf). But nowadays, Daisy kind of have a tan/darker tone as of Mario Party Superstars and Mario Golf. But her skin tone in Mario Strikers Battle League is a little bit lighter but not as light as it was in Mario Party 4 or her debut appearance. On a side note, I think Daisy has had the most inconsistent design. They’re always changing her but hopefully they’re settling with her new look. But yeah, just wanna say that Daisy was never melanin or black, just had a darker skin tone.

Sunshine designs are above and beyond. Look at the sleeping koopas in that game theyre so cute

I miss the old yoshi. I liked the model.

Boos in Sunshine are like regional variants of Pokemon

Darn i miss n64 era daisy she was so hot

“Daisy’s also went through an interesting metamorphosis” Yeah bro, she got fucking whitewashed😂🪦

Besides the skin color change, I actually like Daisy's redesign

I love the fact that you used Melty blood music in the video's background.

That wasn’t King Boo in Sunshine. According to the Japanese version, that character is named Boss Boo.

Making Daisy more tomboyish, but then making her not be tan at the same time is such a bizarre decision Even weirder is how it constantly flip flops

Daisy is the Tomboy counter part to Peach's Priss

It makes sense lorewise because that's the last we ever see of Sarasaland, so it would make sense for her skin to lighten up as I guess the mushroom kingdom doesn't get as much sun, and I bet Peach got her a traditional mushroom kingdom dress but if Sarasaland ever returns, I am fully expecting her to be back with dark skin and her red crown, maybe her dress could take inspiration from traditional dresses based on the real world inspirations for the four kingdoms of Sarasaland (ancient Egypt, Bermuda, Easter Island, and ancient China)

Daisy is the more...how do you say.... Voluptuous of the female characters

XDFJJDDUF HELP, OLD KING BOO- 😂😂😂😂😂 BRO LOOKS LIKE A CHILL GRANDPA THAT'S STILL SMOKING WEED TO THIS DAY-

I still think that Daisy is prettier being a redhead or brunette with pale skin then being tanned, but that's my opinion.

Daisy is the definition of the sentence: "Name a bigger glow up"

Yoshi standing upright was a good decision as he started being used more as an individual character in the 2000’s rather than an accessory to Mario like in the 90’s. He was used a lot in Mario Party, SM64DS, and the sports games and it just looks better seeing him more human-like

To be fair, Super Mario Sunshine King Boo is made of paint thus meaning that he is not the real King Boo at all, technically making those two different characters.

Tanned daisy looks better

Sunshine is way to fun, even the designs are so odd that are charming.

Still can't believe to this day,they white washed Daisy. But hey, atleast she is slightly tan again

Impressive Video and impressive Map, even with that low amount of actual information

I find Yoshi’s change to be for the better. Same with Daisy; she needed to distinguish herself from Peach

If for some reason you cannot tell between old and new Yoshi, look at his back. Old Yoshi has spikes up to his back, nearly reaching his saddle/shell. New Yoshi only has head spikes.
