Featured Character Artwork ()
Hello, and welcome to another issue of Featured Character Artwork!!

Although most of you must be freezing in the Northern Hemisphere, the weather here in Brazil has been completely different, with high temperatures (around 32ºC/90ºF), as summer approaches. Thus, as an homage to that, I chose to feature Mario's artwork from Super Mario Sunshine this month.

The image's main feature (Get it? Feature!) is the Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device, known as F.L.U.D.D., carried by Mario on his back and used by him throughout the game. The device, created by Professor Elvin Gadd, allows Mario to spray water using the four different nozzles present in SMS: the Squirt Nozzle, used to squirt water at enemies and objects; the Hover Nozzle, which allows Mario to, as its name says, hover in the air briefly; the Rocket Nozzle, which makes Mario rapidly blast upwards after a brief charging period of time; and, lastly, the Turbo Nozzle, which allows Mario to run or swim extremely fast. As for Mario himself, the image shows his special outfit for Super Mario Sunshine, with a short-sleeved red shirt replacing his classic long-sleeved shirt, as well as blue overalls, white gloves, light brown shoes and his trademark red cap with a red "M" in the middle.

For a merry Christmas, I bring you a special GIF of Blizzard Midbus! Look at him, King of the Cold, all ready to give Bowser a smackdown! Well, we’ll have to see how the fiery King Koopa deals with this chilly foe!

The Christmas Of Luigi
Hey there again! It's-a me, Lakituthequick!

Since I was asked again, and since it's The Year of Luigi and Christmas in a few days, I thought: I'll make something Christmas with Luigi in it. Well, here we are! Christmas Of Luigi: Snow-globe Edition. Enjoy!
