The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!: Difference between revisions

A few pieces of conceptual artwork have surfaced from early design phases of the show. Some of them were somewhat more accurate to the games, notably in King Koopa's design, while others were far more loosely based on official designs. One such piece is a poster featuring a much different depiction of Mario and Luigi (the latter of which is using his in-game clothing colors for ''Super Mario Bros.'') who are brandishing a plunger and a monkey wrench as weapons, a yellow-capped Toad, two large, grotesque [[Trouter]]s, a flying green [[Birdo (species)|Birdo]] being ridden by a [[Snifit]] holding two [[Beezo]] spears, a large purple frog monster with a necklace (possibly [[Wart]]) with a [[Hammer Bro]]ther in tow, a flying yellow [[Pidgit]], two [[Hoopster]]s with distinct heads (one of which has a worried expression), a pelican-like [[Albatoss]] holding a muscular red [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]] by the fuse, a giant red octopus with blue arms (possibly a complete reinterpretation of [[Blooper|Bloober]]), two tube worm-like creatures with sharp teeth and long tongues (possibly [[Piranha Plant]]s), and some goggle-wearing, long-tongued aliens atop spacecrafts with vaguely face-like fronts (possibly intended to be [[Lakitu]]s). King Koopa appears in the background and mostly looks as he does in the finished product but with more exaggerated proportions, while Princess Toadstool, the Shy Guy, the Snifit, and the Beezo are fairly accurate to their artwork. The poster also shows a helmet-wearing skull mounted to a "Go Back!" sign, a Sphinx, a sea serpent, and some prehistoric reptiles. This loose, heavily abstracted depiction of game elements closely resembles that of their later show ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]''.
