Description Here is the second one of these covers that I have here. I wish I could say something about this, but I don't know where to begin... Well, I could say that this took me quite a while to do. I'd say it was mostly the whole logo that I did that took me a bit of a while. ...And I guess trying to recreate Grodus and Gemerl digitally were a bit difficult. I also thought of replacing Vivian with Bombette, but I decided against that. Since Bowser was in the previous cover, I decided to put in King Dedede bonking Escargon (or Escargoon) in the head because a lot of times, he's a bit of a punching bag for him. And even though King Dedede's personality is mostly based off the anime, his colors resemble that of Kirby Super Star Ultra.

And I bet some people are spitting their drinks out and going "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT? A Kirby and Sonic character in something like THIS?" ...OK, maybe not, but still, it's probably not something you'd expect. I thought about basing this off of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's box art, but I didn't want to cram in all the characters together. Also, the background was NOT made by me, and I don't think I could ever make something like that in my life...maybe if I'm a lot older. That's supposed to be the map leading to each Crystal Star. I'm not going to bother listing the similarities and differences here. You can find all that out yourself. *shot*

Characters and where they are: Gemerl (upper left), Grodus (upper right), Kirby (middle left), Chopper (center), Scrub the Yoshi (middle right), Escargon (lower left), King Dedede (lower left), and Vivian (lower right, sort of).

Grodus, Yoshi Kid, and Vivian (c) Nintendo/Intelligent Systems
Kirby, King Dedede, and Escargon (c) Nintendo/HAL Lab
Gemerl (c) SEGA/Sonic Team

EDIT: Major improvements have been made to this image! The logo looks a lot better than before, and the characters look better too (though some haven't changed too much)! Like the prequel's cover, this one has drop shadows like in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's box art. Sure, it's not exactly like it, but this is better than what it originally was! ...Right?
