All the revealed Riders are here! It’s been a ton of fun posting Kirby guys alongside Mario for a change. I do have a few more non racers drawn. Would you be interested if I keep going, or should I hold off for a while to post more of these guys with a full month or so to fill it out more?

The Road to Air Riders - Day 20

It’s the Bullies! Gotta watch out for these two. Originally from Mario 64, the Chill Bully finally came back in Mario Kart World! These two are more iconic than you’d think, and with it getting cold, but not fully winter, I thought it fit to show off both of them together

Day 324 - Bully & Chill Bully

While I’d thought about drawing Megaleg previously, I thought he was just too big. But after he showed up in the Mario Galaxy trailer, I couldn’t not draw him! I grabbed bit from both his game and movie design, and am proud of how one of the now largest characters came out! 😊

New Soup U released in the US 13 years ago today. Seeing as Nabbit was the biggest thing to come out of it, I still wanted to share another big part of the game, with the Waddlewing! Also, the concept of this little guy being the day after Culex of all people made me laugh 😂

Day 322 - Waddlewing

I cannot wait to see what they’ve got in store. It’s a bit of an older drawing, but wanted to share my two favorite incarnations of Link and Zelda! The two with most experience and games behind them, the Hero of Legend and the Hero of the Wilds!

The Zelda Movie has officially started filming!

Happy Early Birthday! A dream come true of a remake is such a great present. I’ve dreamed of these guys coming back for forever and it’s just so awesome to finally see

That would have been so fun! I never thought of that, and just loved the fact he got anything and wasn’t forgotten. Makes sense to me too that Nintendo would prefer to match what Mario and Crew looked like though, and if say it still didn’t disappoint

Super Mario RPG on Switch is 2 years old today! Culex has always been on of the coolest parts of that game to me, and the remake did him so much justice!

Day 321 - Culex

#YearofMario #DigitalArt #SuperMarioRPG #Culex

I’ve had the old one bookmarked for so long, I haven’t seen this one! It looks great and I am definitely gonna reread everything again! Thank you! 😊

I feel the same way, and I’m the one making it 😅 The tier list is a good way to see who all is it if you want to, and I’m always happy to tell you if someone is in it yet or not too!

The Rod to Air Riders - Day 16

#WaddleDoo

It’s more guys from Super Mario RPG! Booster and Jinx are some of the more memorable side characters from the game. As much as I love them both, it still just makes me happy that this world came back at all with the Switch remake

Day 320 - Booster & Jinx

#YearofMario #DigitalArt #SuperMarioRPG #Booster #Jinx

I like the the Claymorton name change a lot more too. Mack was always so random 😅 Speardovitch makes a lot more sense for the Weapon names as well, so I totally get the change!

The Road to Air Riders - Day 15

It’s Speardovitch, or as her was formerly named, Yardiovitch. Still getting used to the new names the RPG remake gave! One of the higher ups of the Smithy gang, this living spear can be quite terrifying! A real sharp guy too if you know what I mean

Day 319 - Speardovitch

They’re in the plans, don’t worry! 😊

Also, just shoutout to @metroiddatabase.bsky.social in general! They are awesome and if you aren’t following their amazing coverage then you should!

If you wanna check out the manga,heres the link! metroiddatabase.com/old_site/man... Also, check out Samus and Joey while you’re at it. I love that series so much and more people need to read it! I just wanted to get my thoughts out, so thanks for humoring me! I cannot wait for this game!!! (5/5)

I won’t spoil it since it’s kinda an unknown Manga, but I could see them ending the story in a similar way, and I am all for that. Metroid is one of Nintendo’s more adult franchises, so I would love to see them take a similar approach. (4/?)
