Tried to recreate some of these early sprite concepts for Super Mario Bros. They may not be entirely accurate; due to the image quality being a little warped/blurry, some of the details were hard to make out.

So I never realized this tiny Mario figure I have was actually based on anything, I thought it was just a random toy, but it matches up with this art that’s apparently from Mario’s Tennis (the Virtual Boy game)!
@on_kinky Aaa I’m sorry! Been there before, that stuff stings. Keep at it though! That doesn’t have to be the end!
(Here are my characters if you’re up to drawing! I hope you feel better!)
@TheRealSibsy The new stuff manages to perfectly recapture the feeling of Kotabe’s original art while also branching out and making it a bit more expressive, it’s exciting every time they release a new piece for little occasions!
Thinking about that weird late 90s/early 00s era when most Mario art had been entirely 3D renders for a few years and when they returned to the original 2D style, everyone was strangely too tall.
