a pudding-like tamagotchi makes the surprised pikachu face next to the steaming coil of shit it has produced

Waking up and checking what your tamagotchi produced overnight is the first thing now.

A muscular guy in sandals on an ornate throne broods and looks into a swirling portal in a mirror in front of him, while a creepy wizard next to him points into the mirror.

cathedral of trees form an arch over a small lake/lagoon - two figures sit across the water, facing one another, feeling of expansiveness, divided by a narrow inlet of water, space between, sense of belonging

Maraya (1998): Dramatic Japanese promotional illustration featuring a fierce female warrior with wild black hair tied back by a jeweled headband, intense expression, and one eye shadowed. She stands in a defiant pose wearing a revealing black leather-like bodysuit with crisscross straps, arm guards, and thigh-high boots, gripping a large curved sword in one hand and a futuristic handgun in the other. Surrounding her are massive mechanical chains, dripping pipes, industrial machinery, and jagged metallic structures in a dark orange and brown dystopian environment with dripping fluids and ominous shadows. Vertical Japanese text overlays the scene describing themes of taboo, betrayal, exile, and forbidden rebellion in a fortress called "Darul Hart" or similar.

X (1992-2003): A dramatic fantasy illustration depicting a central winged male figure with long dark hair, clad in flowing white and black robes, soaring upward with massive white feathered wings and black bat-like under-wings spread wide. He hovers above a ruined landscape of tall broken stone pillars and jagged rock formations under a turbulent sky filled with swirling orange, yellow, and blue clouds illuminated by bright light rays. Smaller cloaked figures stand atop distant broken pillars, gazing upward, while glowing light spots and ethereal mist fill the atmospheric scene.

Bugbuster: Image Sound Track (1988): Japanese cover artwork for the 1988 Bugbuster image soundtrack album, featuring a fierce female warrior with voluminous blonde hair tied in a high ponytail, wearing a revealing brown leather outfit with straps, gloves, and arm guards. She wields a large sword raised overhead in a dynamic combat pose, surrounded by floating rocky debris and shattered stone fragments against a fiery orange and blue gradient background. Vertical Japanese title text "バグバスター" appears on the left spine in metallic lettering, with additional album details including catalog number 88KC0723 and "IMAGE SOUND TRACK" at the top.

A drawing in Mario Paint of a female Bowser-like character, captioned "KOOPA'S WIFE BIBINBA" The names considered for Bowser by Miyamoto were Yukke and Bibinba, after yukhoe, a Korean raw meat dish and bibimbap, a Korean rice and vegetable dish. The name Miyamoto ended up choosing, Kuppa, is based on gukbap, a Korean beef soup. Source: @FanamelIT, x.com/FanamelT/status/1433922106132156427

A 1994 Japanese Nintendo catalog included a sample image to illustrate the capabilities of Mario Paint that depicts "KOOPA'S WIFE BIBINBA". While the character is likely not canon, her name is based on a discarded name for Bowser, so it may have been drawn by a Nintendo employee.
