This is based on the scene when mario kills the bridge and bowser falls in the lava, and i wanted to make something where bowser wouldn't come back and he actually fucking DIED

I just got back from watching the movie for the third day in a row and had to draw this so it's SUPER sketchy and quick and super bad and im sorry lol it's not even finished

Anyway I imagined Peach as kind of like .. a hippie almost? Not a hippie but she really wants to find herself outside of Royal expectations and has this phase where she isn't entirely sure she wants the responsibility of being a princess, at least in her teen years, I think it would be really interesting to explore a part of Peach where she isn't "princess peach" but just Peach, like what would she be like if she wasn't a princess? Peach is a very sweet, selfless and kind character, so I feel like it would be interesting to think of her doing something that would have her own interest in mind first, rather than anybody else's.

Mario and Luigi are relatively normal, Mario gets teased all of the time for being a dweeb but he's kind of like the "popular" weird kid. Like everyone knows Mario as that "guy who will eat the disgusting school lunch concoction if you give him enough money" and Luigi genuinely gets bullied lol, I like to think he's super clumsy and it's just... the worst. They're in P.E and he bumps into Bowser and it ruins the game and now he's enemy #1. Or he does things that are mildly annoying like at the end of class he'd be like "um... Mrs? I think we forget to grade the homework" and everyone just fucking hates him 😭 he's not even THAT BAD, he would be a normal, awkward kid, but compared to Mario he just seems like a total screw up so he's an easy target.
