Description Strangely there seems to be more fan art of Smithy in his final form than in his regular form, but even more strangely I don't think I've found a single piece of his alternate heads.
He's definitely one of my favourite villains and it's nice to see one who actually has a proper explanation as to how he amassed his army. Plus he smiths his own head.

Arguably the toughest villain Mario has ever faced! Great job on the artwork for Smithy's different forms!

Yeah I think he definitely counts!

A number of villains since Smithy have forcefully evicted Bowser from his castle, but Smithy has an entire military production line!

Many thanks!

You know... Something in this Smithy drawing reminds me of Robot Jones.

That'll be the way his mouth and eyes look.

I was gonna say the exact same thing, honestly.

The actual magician's head used to creep me out so much as a kid, but in this masterpiece, it just makes him look as cool as heck!

Yeah, it does look a bit weird in the game and some of the details are hard to make out so I tried to streamline is as best I could!

5 different heads, each with their own ways to make things hard on you.

I always felt good when he'd use the Magician Head, as for that's when his DefenseΒ is super low, and therefor he's weaker that way. The Tank head was a problem for me though, since it's attack is a 1-hit K.O.

He actually very rarely used the Magnum attack on me, I was kind of lucky!

He was such a cool boss. This is probably the first time I have seen fanart with his alternate heads :3

I am now addicted to your style.

Woah, steady on! Addiction is the first step to...no wait actually addiction is the end result. Isn't it?
Either way stay safe!

Haha awwwww you made him adorable!

Smithy really needs to make a surprise re-appearance. He's such an interesting and structured villain with lots of potential.

Fantastic job on these!

As much as I keep saying it will never happen I'm sure somebody, somewhere at Square knows the cult following these characters have and might just be able to squeeze one or two through in the future.

Smithy definitely has an unusual final form for a Mario vilain.

It's kind of unusual for any Mario Villain to have a final form. It's really a very RPG thing.

Hexidextrous In reply to professorfandango [2014-06-25 22:44:07 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Bowser is pretty much the main antagonist in the non-RPG Mario games, and the closest thing he has to a Final Form there most of the time, is either turning gigantic, or jumping in his Koopa Clown Car.

professorfandango In reply to Hexidextrous [2014-06-25 23:30:33 +0000 UTC]

Well he only really used the Clown Car once, recently it's always turning gigantic.

Great pic! I like the way he looks in your cartoonish style.

Heeey! Many thanks! I did try to make him a bit more expressive.

I had to google Wizard Smithy immediately, convinced he had this really gross nose on his lower face. Now I'm looking at the sprite and realizing those are probably his teeth and I've been very wrong for a very long time.

I know exactly what you mean, at one point I thought it was a third hand (or third leg? wakka wakka?) but I just wrote it off as teeth and wallpapered over it with my not-very-accurate mouth.

Additionally, this is the first time I realized those lips inside the hood were the crown.

Oh yeah, I figured that one out pretty early on and was quite proud of myself.

An awesome final boss. I like how unimpressed he is with you when you reach him. It's like he doesn't think you're even a threat.

professorfandango In reply to Gamafort [2013-03-01 22:51:17 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I like the fact that he lampshades Toadstool's completely hackneyed demand of "Give us back the stars now!" as if he even would.
