Ive had this project growing in my head for a while, those of pixelerate and pixelacademy, should recognise bits of it. Its finally over, lots of work on that, not too much time consuming but im very happy with the final result none the less. it was one of my most fun projects. I really enjoyed doing this Mock-up Enjoy

Great concept and execution! Puts the "mock" in mockup but in such a great way. Inspiring!

This is what Nintendo shoud do: A grown-up Mario. Brilliant!

Jabberwock (Level 3 King Kong) @ 1/3/2010 21:52

So depressed. Why it is just a mockup, why?

Alibak (Level 1 Depressed) @ 2/12/2009 01:00

omg, it is wonderfull

Net (Level 1 Private) @ 3/21/2008 16:36

You gave it more of a realistic flavor. Not a cartoony flavor. I like it. :D If only it were real.

Morgengrauen (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 12/14/2007 03:29

haha, cool adaption of the mario style.

Flarfy (Level 5 Detective) @ 12/6/2007 09:40

Amazing reimagening of the SMB universe. I'd love to see this made into a real game.

Mario has finally grown up. cool.

no. WAY cool.=) I don't like the character, however it still looks great. the highlight from the fireball is a nice touch, but it should either be more consistent or less brighter.

the carnivorous plant wins the day.=)

rockybolan (Level 1 Thug) @ 4/8/2007 15:52

This looks like a blast and a half to play.

NobleClock (Level 2 Corporal) @ 12/23/2006 16:36

ooh, generic mario. This is like super mario 3000.

Dark Rogue (Level 5 Rokkyu) @ 8/28/2006 10:22

I don't really like the 'HUD' font, but everything else is great! 6/6

Twisted (Level 1 Quiet One) @ 7/26/2006 07:02

Awesome skills and colour choice, but the ground, pipes and boxes all seem to be at different angles. The bg looks kind of unfinished too.

Skull (Level 11 CEO) @ 4/6/2006 10:02

Rather scary when you think about Mario like this. Great work. I like how you fade the background.

Blick (Level 7 Captain) @ 12/9/2005 21:17

AA doesn't have to be just a couple pixels long. I think the background would've been a lot smoother had you elongated the rows of pixels blending the colors on the mushroom stem and certain other areas of shallow dips in the shadows and edges.

Neota: well i switched the color like you asked and its first of all very ugly and completely damaging for the eyes, i mean i have nothing against ultra bright red skin, but that was jus bad, sorry but i dont like it

i love his skin like it is right now, tanned and subltle, nothing flashy nothing bright jus like usual tanned human skin in a normal lighting area

neota (Level 8 Shodan) @ 9/11/2005 10:24

This is great (*saved*). it has one glitch: the skin colors are too desaturated compared to everything else. I suggest you try this scheme, from brightest->darkest:

ffffc0
ffc0c0
ff7f3f
c07f00
7f3f00
3f0000

Yeah, I realised it hadnt been resized. I just stated that that's the effect of poor selective outlining. But no problem! Mock ups are always fun.

Oooh, and nice update! Looks a lot cooler.

pixelblink (Level 9 Federal Agent) @ 8/15/2005 23:30

I remember this from pixelerate as well. Freaking awesome work! The only critique I have is the text at the top. Looks pretty boring and out of place in comparison to the rest of the piece. Love the dark gloomy tone to this Mario. Wouldn't mind seeing some reworks of some other classic games from you :)

Godslayer (Level 2 Corporal) @ 8/15/2005 20:47

You stole my idea!

But it is indeed well executed, I <3 classic mario.

nekotali (Level 1 Rookie) @ 8/15/2005 20:00

Mmm, evilness. *drools*

Di0xygen (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 8/15/2005 18:31

Nope, the plant have not been resized, its simply very badly aaed, gotta work on that. as for the background aaing i agree it look jagged ill work on that too

thanks for the nice critique, its very appreciated

iSTVAN (Level 8 Cannibal) @ 8/15/2005 18:26

Very cool concept!

The mario character looks sweet, and I love the texture work on the slimy ground platforms. The mushrooms in the foreground also look quite nice.

However, it looks like the sell-out on the plant beast thing has worked a bit against you. It makes it look as if youve resized it from something bigger and better. It'd also be awesome to see a little more AA on the things in the far background, they look too jaggy. It wouldnt take too long to fixe both of these things.

Once again though, lovely concept, and I didnt mention the colours- I dig.
