File talk:RPG Mario Render.jpg

(First topic)

I was hat-tipped by a user through a Discord DM. This isn't an official render. It's a model recreation by 0reo, evident by the emblem on the hat and the hat shape. The Twitter account listed is run by a user petalsforsomething#1973, which 0reo is a friend of. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 02:56, August 26, 2023 (EDT)

Now, i'm not gonna question how they got that "early CGI" lightning, but you can tell by the arms and hands alone. -- FanOfYoshi at 05:00, August 26, 2023 (EDT)

Yeah I'm not sure how difficult it is for modern technology to replicate older algorithms. I don't normally try those techniques to simulate older style renders. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 22:36, August 27, 2023 (EDT)

You should! ....but back to the matter at hand, there are official renders that at least correspond to this (for instance, on the Japanese cover), so rather than delete this can be simply replaced.

We don't need a discussion. If there is clear proof that it is unofficial, then use the delete template.--Platform (talk) 05:33, November 2, 2023 (EDT)
