Description
CLICK FOR FULL VIEWFirst submission SINCE OCTOBER. Wow.
Hello again, kids!
You know, back in the old days when good video games didn't make sense or need a coherent story to be a good game, there was a plucky hero named Mario. He had a lovely game and everyone loved it. Yay. He then made a sequel, and all was still right with the land. Then, he unleashed a third game that showed the world seven little bastards that rocked Mario's and my world. They were the Koopa Kids, AKA the Koopalings. They reappeared in Super Mario World and again in Yoshi's Safari. But then...they dropped off the face of the planet (And their Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga Cameo doesn't count. That was a rip-off) and they aren't seen anymore. In fact, there's now a Bowser Jr. running around.
What
The
Fuck
is this shit? Did they just FORGET the original kids? What the hell happened? Why were they dumped? They all had unique looks and personalities.....and Bowser Jr. is just a mini-Bowser! No change! What happened to the kids I adored as a kid? They were my favorite characters in the Mario Universe!! I mean, Shigeru Miyamoto's team seem to be constantly looking for filler characters in their games....YOU HAVE SEVEN FUCKING CHARACTERS AT YOUR DISPOSAL!! Fuck putting Petey Pirahna and King Boo and Toadette and Waluigi in Mario Kart! SEVEN FUCKING EXISTING, MEANINGFUL CHARACTERS.
You know, the new game coming, "Super Princess Peach," had some hackers breaking into the beta of the game. Guess what they found? Sprites of Iggy and Morton Koopa! I rejoiced. I thought this might be their come back and I was going to buy the game. Guess what? Several people played the Japanese import and beat the game....finding no Koopa Kid in sight.
So, I have redesigned their images. Why? Over the years, Bowser got some muscles and got beefy. I figured the Kids could get a revamp of their own. So I changed them around and altered their appearance.
Wake the fuck up, Nintendo. You know you want to use them. Hell, they would have made great team members in Super Mario Strikers!

I hear you talkin' buddy! I miss these guys! They totally awesomized my childhood. I was disappointed in Mario Galaxy that they brought the Doomships back and not the Koopalings! Instead, they have this pain-in-the-ass new character replacing them all! WTF is up with that?

I have a crush on the following:
Kooky (Ludwig)
Kootie Pie (Wendy)
I don't know why NOW Wendy's appealling to me. I've hated her. But I love these guys. Withoutadoubt.

Sweet! Great job!
And I agree with the guy who said Wendy is sexy.
I miss the Koopalings, too. At least they were in Superstar Saga. Oh, well. Hopefully they'll be in some games for the Wii.

Too bad I don't consider anything that isn't a platformer canon.
I doubt they'll appear on any Wii title. They've been abandoned in favor of Bowser Jr.

Well, whether or not its canon, there's at least some hope since they were in Superstar Saga. I wouldn't give up hope completely just yet.

oh, lol, well I guess you just proved my thory wrong. I had forgotten the picture of Larry that Fludd shows.
Well, so much for that.

Jake-the-Underdog [2007-03-17 05:40:34 +0000 UTC]
I have a theory about all that.
The theory is that the games are not supposed to be in order of when they happen, kinda like the Legend of Zelda games.
Thus, Bowser Jr is ACTUALLY Ludwig, the eldest sibling. None of the others have been born yet.

....Not to mention that when FLUDD scans Mario, there is a shot of Mario fighting Larry Koopa. Simply impossible.

Impossible. Bowser Jr. has horns, a green shell with multiple spikes, and red hair. Ludwig has none of those. The guy doesn't even have eyebrows like Jr. has.
And, uh.... the names are different. That should be obvious.

Awesome work~ Wendy was always my favourite, you made her as sexy as a sprited turtle-monster can be. <3 And Roy looks like he's about to go off to the ol' gay bar...
I sure there's a compliment in there somewhere, if you do some sifting. x3 I like how you de-cute-ized them, by the way. Except Larry's still cute! *Tackles* He was always the cutest one anyway~
Uhm...*Claps* Amazing...n' stuff~

Wendy is a very sexy koopette (:
Although to me, Ludwig looks odd with the muscles =\ still good pixels though, Al

I like how you gave them different forms. Like... they're not all beefy, or anything. You put thought into which ones should have which sort of figure. And Iggy is just awesome. He was always my favorite. I love those rockin' swirly glasses. Nice job with colors and everything. They look so good like this! Well pixelated.

Eeeee. You already know my opinion on this. But it's all worth saying again!
I really like the unique style you incorporated as your did this peice. They all look more spunky and spiffed (Har, nice words there) and everyone should have hair like theirs
The background variations in color was a nice touch too, it really brings the picture together. Each color symbolizing each character and their personalities. Such vivid colors.
The ultimate spriter right heeeeere! *dodges watermelons* What? Its true! Keep up the wonderful work, Alex! ^__^
About time you updated again with more artness, dudester.
