Description

Edit: This was my opinion back in 2017!! Following statements were in part intentionally exaggerated.



Let's be honest, Super Mario Odyssey's original ending was... unsatisfactory. Everything about it.



(Spoilers for the ending of O. ahead)
Firstly, Peach nearly left Mario to die on the moon with Bowser. While it's understandable that she rejected Mario and Bowser, there's no excuse for abandoning them. Additionally, it made Mario look like a desperate pleb due to his reaction when Bowser proposed to Peach. Some would say he should've let Peach be instead of sinking to Bowser's level and shoving flowers in her face as well, but can you really blame Mario? If he really had been secure about Peach's affections, he wouldn't have acted that way, now would he? That alone questions Mario and Peach's relationship they supposedly had.
(End of spoilers)


When I drew the original image , I expected Odyssey to end differently (like many others did too), but, on the other hand, I'm actually somewhat glad SMO ended the way it did. I guess it makes this thingy here a viable option (still), lol

A collaboration with Super "Jumpman" Mario . I made the old pic with regular colouring pencils, he coloured and edited it digitally; overall, he did one fine job, don't you think?

Pauline's still a better girlfriend for Mario than Pink Daisy Clone. 

And the ending to Super Mario Odyssey is one of the reasons I grew to dislike Pink Daisy Clone.

DK: I AM GONNA KILL THAT MOTHER FU-

CK: MISTER DONKEY KONG!

DK: Uhhhhh hi Candy, what are you doing here?

CK: Are you still going gaga for the mayor?

DK: WHAAAAA???? No way, I’m over her.

CK: Then why do you have that paper that reads “My plan to kill Mario and marry Pauline?”

DK: Okay, here take this hammer and hit me until you feel forgive me.

(Candy takes the hammer)

DK: Now don’t hit me until I say-

(Candy hits DK with the hammer)

DK: OUCH, wait I wasn’t ready.

(Candy hits DK a million times)

DK: Do you forgive me now?

CK: No

(Continues to beat DK with a hammer)

After seeing the original ending, I agree heartily. This is the better ending no questions asked.

Although not as much as before, Odyssey's ending still triggers me to this day. The game itself is amazing, but the ending is easily one of the worst endings in a Mario game IMO. It made Mario look like a really desperate guy and we all know that he would never act this way! It's completely out of character for him! I mean I'm OK with him and Peach not getting hitched because let's be real here, the relationship between them will most likely never go beyond platonic. But they could have at least not made him look so desperate and give him a nice ending where just he and Peach go back to the Odyssey (with Bowser easier following suit or being involuntarily brought back to Earth with them). This ending just made Mario look like a really desperate guy and made Peach look like a complete ungrateful witch (which is also completely out of character for her)

Yeah, I dislike Odyssey's ending for the same reasons you mentioned. It's still making me uncomfortable to see Mario act this desperate... It's pathetic, really. As for Peach, I guess Nintendo had to make her behave the way she did... (?) you know, the independent woman. But even if they just wanted her to be more independent, they definitely could have let that play out better too.

The Odyssey ending was a slap in the face for me...  I would've had Peach dragging Mario off by the arm AFTER pushing the flowers away...

Pauline, to me, has WAY more character than Peach did. But that's just my opinion tho
