So... I am making it a mission to find out officially who drew the art for these... And so far it seems to be leading me to either Gunpei Yokoi or Yoichi Kotabe...
Anyone out there got any references?

It's really cool that they're trying to translate the appeal of Kotabe/Nakaue Mario art into 3D with this game, especially the cheated angle on the head! the smeared multiples on Mario's run cycle is something I haven't seen outside of promo art let's be honest

Inspirado por el dibujo de
Trate de dibujar a Sonic en el estilo de Yoichi Kotabe/Shigehisa Nakaue

Fue un desafío total pero creo que el resultado no está nada mal creo yo

More recently i've been trying to draw him like how Kotabe and Nakaue do it in official art.

But occasionally i draw him in other ways.

i still really like their rare designs but i'd love if they made diddy kong's 3d design look more like his kotabe-styled art cuz they just OOZE of charm and it's definitely my favorite diddy kong design
it's just soooo expressive and fun ghfjhvjk,jhklgjh

Aaaaah hahaha didn't even register to me when making my new Kotabe-inspired avatar that it looks so much like my old design.

Whoops!

Guess I'll just return to my /original/ original.

I went back & grabbed art I had missed from a BS Zelda Satellaview game. These only exist because someone recorded the broadcast on VHS; they were never part of the download. Hyrule Historia has some original Kotabe watercolors in the Zelda 1 section https://t.co/UfAjf55O0o

If the Super Mario Bros Movie was in the style of Mario Kart 64’s JP Commercial, or if Nintendo ever just made a Mario Anime in that style, I would watch it DAY 1!

It captures Kotabe’s Artstyle but brings a level of intensity needed for an Anime! https://t.co/lEBJxGj2ph

Hey everyone. I'm currently trying to find someone that can recreate the artwork of the original Mario bros arcade and early Yoichi Kotabe Mario art for The Marchello Mystery. If you or someone you know can recreate these styles hit me up

NVM FUCK IT WE BALL, I FIGURED IT OUT

also realized i just suck at front facing things in general but ANYWAYS
Yoichi Kotabe's style is pretty neat ngl, even if i prefer Masanori Sato's artstyle (the mario and luigi rpgs)
{might practice more of it like i did with the M&L style} https://t.co/CRc0xKiFBf

man doing my style is much more refreshing; f00kin HELL i underestimated the mental turmoil proportions would give me 😭
I might reattempt the kotabe style later some day but i am currently fucking too weak to do that at this moment https://t.co/f3E623e5dG

IF THIS WASN'T MEANT TO BE A THING, JUST... LOOK AT UEKAWA AND KOTABE'S MARIO AND SONIC PROMOTIONAL ARTWORKS FOR RIO 2016, LIKE... THE OFFICIAL ARTISTS FROM BOTH CHARACTERS, THEIR OWN INTERPRETATION OF EACH...

I still think I nailed Kotabe's art style with this one >>
