Just A Furry Dude

the way she squints oh my god 😭😭😭💗

Design from an officially licensed 2007 T-shirt. While the presentation is clearly intended to evoke an "evolution" theme, suggesting that each successive Mario is from a more advanced game, the last two Marios are actually both from Super Mario 64, being the in-game model in the second to last place and the promotional render in the last place. This suggests that Promotional Art Mario is somehow "fitter" than his in-game self.

In addition, the Super Mario Bros. sprite in the second place is using an incorrect palette (being the palette from Donkey Kong; though interestingly, concept art for Super Mario Bros. reveals this was initially Mario's palette in that game before it was changed), and the Super Mario World sprite in the third place is larger than the Super Mario Bros. sprite on the design despite being smaller in reality (Super Mario Bros. is 32 pixels tall while Super Mario World is 28 pixels tall).
