"Good Morning, Rose"

I got the idea from cowcatchers old locomotives used to have.

Anyways, yesterday I uploaded the model to Thingiverse, and just hours after uploading it, the Community Relationship Manager of the whole website left a comment suggesting I enter the model into a competition that's currently being held on the site.

So I did... and now it's in third place not even a day later. First place is $500, but the competition still has a month to go.

Then the Community Manager contacted me again, telling me they want to feature my model in an upcoming design promotion.

Just, what is happening? I mostly made this thing for myself in, like, an hour, and now it's suddenly super popular? This is all a little bit overwhelming 😵‍💫

Other models I worked on for weeks didn't get nearly as popular. I swear, it's impossible to predict what people will like.

Anyways, if you want to print the wheel guards yourself, you can get the model here or here.

I also made a quiet version you can stick furniture felt pads on.

In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, it is possible to make Mario shiver on command. If the analog stick is pushed as lightly as possible, Mario will simply shiver instead of moving. Note the subtle vibrating movement of his hands.

This is unique in that most 3D platformers have a "dead zone" around the middle of the analog stick in which input will do nothing, and moving the stick outside of the dead zone will result in slow movement.

The Super Mario Galaxy games implement the dead zone not as ignoring the small analog stick inputs outright, but instead as simply not letting Mario move from the spot; however, he still reacts to the input by skipping frames of his idle animation, resulting in the "shivering" effect.
