What If Mario Characters looked Like Their Original Sprites? 

"we wanted this new character to be relatable to muslims, so we made him full of explosives and always kills enemies with beheading techniques" Shigeru Miyamoto.

@Sandbox86 I’m guessing that was one of the rejected design pitches for what would ultimately become the Bob-Omb, eh? 😏

thats savage 😂😂😂

I actually sadly believed the quote for a moment. I'm also fat

@seronymus the weird thing is I actually remembered him saying that

And Wario just looks _ever so slightly_ green which makes him look like a goblin 😆

​@@1mariomaniachonestly fitting

Agreeable.

Makes one… JEALOUS!

Ai will be made based on him and him alone... But it will always be on top.

I fucking hate AI.

Almost as if to say, “Yeah, boy! You’re so cute for saving me! Get over here for a kiss, you stud!” (She actually doesn’t kiss him until Super Mario World.)

Idk why her having a permanent finger gun feels so right but EYYYY MARIO COME ON AND HIT DAT AXE BRO 💥👈💥👈

Agreed

You're too kind!

For real!

You could say it's as depressing as daisy's colour palette.

Everyone who pronounces it super Mario BROS gets a thumbs down and a don’t recommend channel from me. It’s like nails on a chalk board.

or comically small

@Bread And Circuses cause it’s rare that a character that dresses in all black and looks gothic is depicted as happy as Daisy

Sounds like Abby from NCIS

She’d be like an old cartoon character

so kinda like Misa Amane. but not as insane

You basically just described Gwen from Total Drama

In fact, it has been stated several times that miamotos disdain for the change from monochrome green to monochrome black and white was because he deliberately wanted the Gameboys games to be green. After the release of donkey Kong, while originally thinking the design fine at the time, he soon grew to regret his choices when designing Mario, specifically that he never made him green. While he was able to somewhat rectify this mistake with the introduction of his very green brother Luigi, and even subtly making super Mario's design greener in the eyes, moustache, shirt, and boots, the damage had already been done. Not only due to Nintendo's strick policy against changeling characters designs out of fear of confusing consumers, but also because of Nintendo's strong association with red before Mario's introduction, making them want their flagship hero to be red, rather than to conform their company's branding to the green of Luigi, who was originally pitched as the player 1 of super Mario bros, miamoto was unable to to make Mario any greener than super Mario. However, he still tried to rectify his mistakes by making his games as Green as possible, by making the koopas, and even Bowser, as Green as he could make them, though he was unable to convince Nintendo to let him make the rest of the super Mario bros cast green. In fact, miamotos desire for yoshi to have a dinosaur companion also sprouted from this desire for more green. When it had finally came time for the Gameboy, miamoto tried to drive Nintendo into a corner, by making the games themselves green, hoping to finally be able to make Mario's design right again. However, he failed to realize that he simply made the Gameboys display green, while the games remained black and white. After this, Nintendo moved to 3d games, to prevent miamoto from forcefully alternating games color pallets again, and even went as far as to make the virtual boy a direct jab at miamotos lust for green, having made the games themselves the same red as Mario's clothes. However, miamoto ended up getting the last laugh, as the world proved that miamotos obsession for changing Mario from red to green was justified, as the overly red display dissuaded the world over, and let it die before even being a year on the market. However, Nintendo has never let miamoto change any characters designs to the objectively better green, not even the game boy characters, who were designed to be green in the first place

This comment is golden

@@charlesinatortheponyfeatur224 "Nintendo's strict policy against changing characters designs out of fear of confusing consumers." that explains a lot about this video's universe.

I heard somewhere that the reason that Miamoto was upset was because he knew a backstory: they worked in a nuclear plant that harvested uranium and got into a sort of "food fight" except the "food" was uranium and it kept getting into people's digestive system.

Didn't expect to see you here, Daniel!

Hey man! Been a fan since the last 5 years.

yep definitly mandela effect XD. i was like... i dont recognize that version of mario from anywhere XD

Yeah the goombas were adorable

Peach was definitely interesting.

Daisy was concerning near the end

@@YourNormalProgram cake

I would like to know how paper mario looks like in game tho

YOur blue color looks cooler

that ass though.

she also has a nice ass

yeah yeah, because of the green accents obviously

Yeah, that's definitely what's smart about her Mario Strikers design

Yea, these designs would stand out even as silhouettes, which means at bare minimum they have iconic value

Sonic still looks like his sprite lmao

@@anton2fangs Original sprite? Going by Sonic 1, He'd have no mouth(or a black lined one), a paler color pallete, no shoe buckles, A more SATAM esque semi-mohawk quill style, a reflective fur texture (kinda like a thunderbolt?) and also bigger black eyes.

zelda I can see happening, sonic... ehhh, no. yes, he has had many different designs throughout the years but his original "classic" design wasn't exactly limited by hardware when it debuted so I don't see it being that interesting of a video(plus, after generations, classic sonic kinda just became his own character, and so, has had much more presence in recent years so that would just be redundant)

@@cooki1875 yeah, sonic even has classic variants which keep most of the spirit of the original intact. Maybe mega man? Kirbys still on the table since KA. Even if sonic does keep most of the spirit there are still things up to interpretation. Just not as much as Mario's.

How the heck would Pokémon work?

and the toads and goombas were so cute

Agreed! But I definitely think Daisy should've been puke green like the original Gameboy was since a B&W Gameboy wasn't released until 7 years after the game was out

@@yellowwinner1 Game Gear was better... I mean it was a full on 8-bit console (Master System) as a handheld. Game boy wasn't even able to mach the NES until the Color arrived

@@bluewuppo And Yoshi

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING

Exactly.

I was hopng he would.

EXACTLY

I see what you did there. 😋

FUNNY YOU SHOULD SAY THAT BECA---

*muffled earrape gigachad theme playing in the distance*

Ah. Now I understand what you're all talking about. Mario is named after Mario Segale, who was Nintendo's property landlord at the time. I genuinely forgot that fact when writing this comment. To quote Charles Barkley, I'm a dumbass.

But that Super Mario Strikers design of her tho makes me act up 😩😩😩

Better than the actual

It’s funny how much SMB2 gave us when we barely recognize it as a Mario game

@@TheLegend2T if you want to get real technical with it, SMB2 never even happened because it was revealed to be just a dream that Mario had one night. Technically, same with SMB3, it’s actually a stage play put on by the characters, which is why the red curtain is drawn at the beginning, you exit stage-left into a blackness behind the scenes, and much if not all of the platforming material is bolted to the background, such as the colored rectangles, white(ish) scaffolding, ? Blocks, and so on. So technically (or pedantically), SMB1 and SMW are Mario’s actual first two adventures 🤷🏻‍♂️

@wokeupinapanic some people also say that sm64 is a movie, but i believe that it's rather a live TV broadcast of an actual adventure to who's TV is this mario show airing? we shall never know...

@arekrekas213 Yeah, it's made clear in the very beginning that Lakitu is broadcasting the adventure live. Never understood why people jump to the conclusion of a movie when literally the first thing Lakitu tells you is that he's recording Mario's adventure live on the scene.

@@DaNintendude I kinda wish DK kept his proposed look by Miyamoto and Kotabe. Not a fan of the “Fudgehead” look.

Yeah, that Mario Bros. 3 art of Peach is something I want an actual keychain of.

Not that cursed, she just looks very angry.
