Description

Burn in a da hell you sum a num botch! Okey dokey!

Well you all voted for it on the last classic NES Game Poll and here it is, the original Super Mario Bros.

Just like with past poll winners I decided to do the final boss battle scene with Mario vanquishing Bowser into the lava pit in the last world castle to save Princess Peach.

I decided to go with the established colors of the characters from the sequels rather than the original color pallets from the original NES game since I felt they were too simplistic and would have blended in too much with the colors I planned for the scene.  

In case you never played the original in every Bowser battle Mario has to make it past him as he stands atop a suspension bridge,  grab a golden battle axe and slice the support chains to the suspension bridge and send Bowser into the lava pool below.

I wanted to capture what I had hoped the old 1990s live action Super Mario Bros movie would be like and render what I wished the movie had shown as the ending rather than the steaming shit pile we got instead.

A grizzled but intense Mario holding  Peach tight as they both look down at the defeated monster that held her prisoner and put Mario through hell.

Since Bowser doesn’t die from all his lava baths in the game series I figured the stuff doesn’t kill him but it probably hurts like hell and he screams and thrashes around in agony. I think this would give Peach a sense of smug satisfaction at seeing her captor suffering this fate.

Well that’s about it. I hope you all like it

Special thanks to for being the model for Princess Peach

Thank you!

I drew it the way I had always imagined a live action version of the game should look like instead of the crappy movie we ended up with

I really wanted to go against the whole dumb blonde thing Nintendo seems to have pushed her into and make her look confident, intelligent and just bad ass so I am glad that comes across

Oh wow, look at all those details and colors, shading and more. I love how you have the lava redness showing on their shoes, especially Peach's heels. Her expression is wonderfully suited for this moment, shadows are spot on and so is the details of the lava and Bowser's scales. Brave!

Now you see why it took so long

Bowser took the longest to get right of the three figures because I wanted him to look evil and threatening like an actual dinosaur/turtle monster.

That's exactly what I was going for. When you think about it, it's a classic fairy tale with horror elements and I really wanted to make it reflect that

No problem! 
Definitely captured that here. Love the poses and the reflective properties that you have. 
I imagine it's playing the cute little tune they play when you die while bowser is burning.

I was originally going to do a mini comic of Steven Segal as Mario holding the ax over the chain yelling, "This is a for my brudder! FUCK A YOU AND A DIE!" and then he chops the chain and sends him into the lava

I imagine him screaming in agony begging God for death while Mario and Peach make out to this song above him www.youtube.com/watch?v=ya-X68…

I you sure it wouldn't play The Pointer Sisters Neutron Dance?

Well now that's a beautiful scene. I would watch that if it was a movie. Would be way better than the horrible movie Mario Bro's move they came out with in the 1990's

That only plays when he's Fire Mario and he's killing everything around him with fireballs

Yeah this is what I had hoped for. Instead they made it into some post apocalyptic garbage fest. Everyone involved in that film say it was the worst movie they'd ever been a part of.

Ugh, I can't stand that movie and the only time I can watch any of it is with Rifftrax. Though there are a lot of movies that I can only watch with Rifftrax lol

Become a programmer and hack some old Mario games and make it happen

I know. It was the only way I made it through Cloverfield and Twilight.

The new MST3K is pretty good. The new season is supposed to be coming to Netflix I think.

I'm definitely not intelligent or tech savvy enough to do such a feat. However if you need me to break something I'm your guy xD

I definitely can't watch those either without Rifftrax. 

I will have to check it out. Only can find the order stuff

Good, break the moon in half

I wouldn't recommend even trying or you'll end up like one of the victims from The Ring

It's pretty funny. The new guy is named Jonah and the first movie they watch is Reptillicus which is a shitty Godzilla knock-off

I only wish I had that kind of power. Can barely break a kit kat in half. Most likely, it's nearly impossible to watch. I tried once and it only lasted less than 10 minutes I couldn't do it. Rifftrax was the only way I could watch any of it.

i will see if I can find them

But it makes werewolves and periods more angry.

Lol No, you are just thinking of woman on their periods.

lmfao I didn't read the comics, just remember the live action one in the 90's that involved the costumes. So when I seen the remake I was sort of indifferent to it.

They attract bears and sharks so they're just as dangerous

The 90s TMNT movies were campy but at least they were fun to watch. These Bay turtles look really off putting and disturbing and the films are just unfunny explosion fests.

Yes, yes they are.

I remember liking it myself since my brother andI watched that almost religiously. I haven't watched the new one in awhile either. Just recall they made them modern and roid raged looking.

MJMJR In reply to Benni-M [2018-01-01 20:15:50 +0000 UTC]

The Bay turtles look like they have down syndrome on top of being mutated turtles. On top of this Splinter is just fucking gross looking. He always looks wet and smelly. I mean yeah they live in the sewers but still their lair was supposed to be clean like an actual apartment and Splinter was very into neatness. 

Also he keeps throwing Megan Fox in as April O'Neal and she looks nothing like the character and has all the acting ability of a plank of wood.

Benni-M In reply to MJMJR [2018-01-08 00:54:05 +0000 UTC]

Lol Yeah, they aren't very attractive looking. Even though they aren't really supposed to be attractive to begin with. At least they weren't horrifying to look at in the cartoon. Yeah, but I mean Splinter is a rat. I was never really a huge Megan Fox fan. I never got the hype over her.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MJMJR In reply to Benni-M [2018-01-08 02:58:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah they went more for the disturbing look rather than sort of fun looking. That works for the villains but when they make the heroes looks as bad or worse than them it distracts from how bad the villains are supposed to look

Yeah but Splinter was a human that became a rat. He was still into hygiene and not looking like a wet, smelly mess

Because your not attracted to women Megan Fox is hot but still hotness isn't a replacement for acting talent or in this case being right for the part. April O' Neal is supposed to be redhead with short hair, huge boobs that's a no nonsense, fearless reporter who has a thing for wearing yellow jump suits. About the only things they got right was the huge boobs and the yellow clothes with Fox.

But it would make sense if he lived in a sewer. Nothing that lives in a sewer looks to good after awhile.

No but that doesn't mean shit. I found Liz Vicious attractive, Tera Wray, Elizabeth Montgomery, Vampira, Elvira, lily munster, Dita Von Teese, etc. I just never got the huge deal made over her because I never thought she was attractive.

MJMJR In reply to Benni-M [2018-01-08 19:48:20 +0000 UTC]

Yeah I get that but even when he's not in the sewer he looks wet and disgusting. Like I've seen river rats look less moist and slimy.

I thought she was hot in the first Transformers film. Also she's not in the same vein of hotness as the women you mention. She doesn't have that hot Goth thing going on.

Meh, I don't know. I haven't watched or payed enough attention to care either way. 

She just seems fake. She isn't a great actress. Not all the women I listed are goth or have a goth vibe. I was giving you examples so you know it has nothing to do with me being a female. I can list plenty more.

MJMJR In reply to Benni-M [2018-01-08 23:11:07 +0000 UTC]

don't bother. You'll end up in the fetal position on the floor after setting your house on fire in protest if you sit through those films

I think my problem with her is she's like an empty shell. Like no emotion seems to escape her in anything she does. I know they make jokes about Kristen Stewart being emotionless but I find Megan Fox to be a robot. She's literally more robotic than Soundwave. Like his voice could come out of her and it wouldn't be a mismatch at all

Not all but a lot. It's fine I think your list is hot so no need to list more.
