GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Koopaul]

Well I didn't say her design is at all uncharacteristic of the series. Although I can see how you would get that idea by me posting that picture. But it was hard for me to find a bishounen character Mario-styled. (Though I'm sure one exists)

Anyway. You can make a character look like it belongs to that series style and still give it characteristics that harken to certain popular tropes.

But yeah her being a moe character never bothered me originally. It's when I saw how she became a superstar and everyone's waifu that it bugged me.


EDIT: Oh shit I forgot about Prince Peasley! Yeah image if all the fangirls in the world turned him into the most important Mario character.

DOUBLE EDIT: Teeth loop. Um this kind of smile. Here. And here.
