@Axzealot1 @Ecchisama_ @nooby_m The director said in an interview that they deliberately exaggerated the size for this scene since they wanted to reflect Mahiro’s experience of the situation. They’re not that big in the regular scenes! The size in the anime reference design is not that different from the manga.
@mexca543 She’s referring to this artwork in AkiRose’s 3rd anniversary goods which was announced a while ago.

@LuckyRanno Youichi Kotabe’s (小田部羊一) Mario bros’ designs on the other hand have always clearly featured mouths on pretty much every artwork out there by him and his followers (Nakaue et al.)
@LuckyRanno An interesting quirk of Sato is the fact that he seems to like drawing Mario and Luigi with their mouths hidden, regardless of the style. (There are a couple of Strikers artworks of Mario with his gnashed teeth slightly peeking out, though).
@LuckyRanno Sato is also responsible for the illustrations in the original Mario Strikers. For Charged, he was assisted by Ryuusuke Yoshida (吉田竜介) and Shigehisa Nakaue (中植茂久).
@LuckyRanno Sato is now a freelancer, and he has an official website and Instagram where you can see some of his works. Crazy versatile artist, honestly. https://t.co/2Yt9zF2d2i

@LuckyRanno These designs & style were originally created by in-house Nintendo artist Masanori Sato (佐藤正徳). He worked on the first two games as the main illustrator. He left Nintendo after PiT, and other Nintendo artists took the reins after, but they kept his core style intact.
@taterderg There are some more prototype designs as well, the whole booklet is 22 pages. It’s included with the original soundtrack. Scans from here: https://t.co/6qOqSTwGw9
