More leftover from 2011.

Those of you that viewed my previous collection of unfinished stuff (as seen here: [link] ) will recognize this poor excuse of a guilty pleasure.

Yes this character sheet has been done for at least 8 months (at the time of posting this). Main reason why I didn't post it earlier was because:

A) I wanted to have more of the concept down.
B) I was paranoid for stupid reasons.

Today I share with you~

----------

During my blue-flying-spiked-shell obsession, I made a fan-character and an idea to go about it. Regardless of how un-original, lame and/or just plain nuts it is, here goes.

WARNING: WALL OF TEXT STARTS HERE

Concept: Legend of the Blue Shell

One day in the Mushroom Kingdom, an egg falls from the sky, crashing into the castle. Upon landing on our hero, the egg hatches into what looks like a baby Koopa. The baby koopa immediate attaches itself to Mario, and Peach requests that he and his brother Luigi raise it for good.

As time goes on, the baby grows rapidly and have begun learning to fly; its landings as destructive as the nature of the blue shell in any kart race. However, it's also grown more cooperative, and with a little training will prove to be a faithful ally.

Unsurprising, Bowser is up to his dastardly deeds once more, the princess having been stolen from her throne...again. Bowser Jr. spreading his own chaos across the land.

------------

In terms of what the koopa could do, a few things:

Fly

Via limited gauge unless it was for a certain mission/level/etc- the maximum gauge can be increased by collecting newer shells as sort of an upgrade. This would also increase the number of hits the koopa could take before disappearing completely from the level. You would have the koopa eat unshelled or non-spiky enemies or fruit to replenish its health.

Power-Ups

The koopa would be able to eat power-ups and gain an affect.
EX.)
Fire flower - Breathe blue fire. (Gauge level.)
Feather - Refills flight gauge.
Leaf - Turns into a rampant Chomp on a chain. (Temporary.)

Mario would still have access to the power-ups...if he can get to them before the koopa does.

Blue Shell

At certain areas (or even at enemies) Mario can line up a powershot and send the koopa flying into a target area. The longer you power up, the more damage there is. Each blast would take some life from the koopa though. However if your koopa eats a star, it will temporarily have unlimited powershots.

------------

Boss Battles would come in two different ways.

You could hit the weak points with Mario if you want, but it would take less hits to defeat the boss using the koopa's powershots or power-ups. (Though this could take more time depending on one's skill level.)

A few bosses would have the ability to capture the koopa and damage it. If the koopa faints, you can still defeat the boss with Mario.

--------------

In the end, you would find out that Bowser had cast a spell on the koopa's mother. It being the 2nd to last boss. Bowser finds a way to tap into the magic of the blue shell and takes it for his own, growing a pair of his own wings.

After the final fight when the story ends, the koopa bids farewell and goes off with its mother.

END WALL OF TEXT

Kudos if you actually read it~

-------------

Maybe one day I'll do a proper mock-poster or something. But all you have are my words.

Please do not recolor, trace, redistribute, etc for any reason.

Enjoy~
