So I kept on remembering the "Super Mario Twilight" joke from SMG4 and thought it would be funny to draw it, I have 2 more "posters" to make (Ik there's 5 movies therefore I should be doing all 5 instead of only 4 but one of them is just the trio standing idly staring at the viewers)

See hi-res version here: patreon.com/posts/81300550

Guess what I saw during the weekend and had to draw as soon as I got home? It's a fun movie and do recommend! Would watch again! 

Also, I've been a Bowuigi fan for years, but never got the motivation to draw them...UNTIL NOW.

SPOILERS AHEAD (obviously)

listen. i like bouigi as much as the next person. i love bouigi. but i feel like some people are missing the real gold of this movie right now. So fandom-crazed rant incoming.

Mario and Donkey Kong.

just. Them???????

Mario saving DK from drowning right after arguing with him bc “oh shit no I actually care about this person very much”???? DK being all like “please don’t tell anybody you saved my life” and Mario just going “Of course I won’t”. Like SIR they are boyfriends tell me I’m wrong.

The part where they’re bonding over having shitty dads and then DK gets super defensive and Mario gets angry back but they immediately make up when they find a way to escape bc they can’t actually stay angry at each other??? That is the Good Stuff right there.

Then DK and Mario going berserk with powerups is just. YES. Let them fight by each others side and be super competitive. Because at the end of the day they still care about the other.

• Dk grooms mario the same exact way apes irl do, it took a bit for mario to get used to it at first but eventually warmed up to it

• Mario teaches Dk how to speak Italian which Dk is surprisingly good at, on occasion mario will teach Dk to say something wildly inappropriate but will tell him it means something else

• And then when luigi hears Dk say whatever mario taught him he IMMEDIATELY corrects him

• Mario saw Dk attempt to cook something exactly once and now he's banned from the kitchen with very few exceptions

• This includes the microwave because dk can't even follow instructions on one of those boxes of microwaved dinners

• He's too impatient so he just removes the film (or doesn't) and puts it in for all the times on the box added together

• And then it comes out overcooked/burnt

• Bonus points if he manages to light it on fire

• Dk is surprisingly good at making kebabs and fruit smoothies of any kind

• Mario will gently run his fingers through Dk's fur when he thinks he's asleep

• Mario thinks Dk doesn't know this but he's fully aware of it

• Dk will pretend to be asleep sometimes just to get mario to do it

• Dk has always been really bad at watching/babysitting diddy and dixie kong, but despite this he's always put in charge anyway

• When mario heard about this he immediately offered to help dk watch them

• Dk gave mario SEVERAL warnings on how it would be a horrible idea

• Mario doesn't listen and helps anyway

• Dk is terrified at first but soon relaxes after mario seems to be doing surprisingly well with them

• At the end of the day diddy and dixie are so tuckered out that they fall asleep almost instantly

• Cue surprised pikachu face Dk

• Even cranky is surprised by this feat because even by jungle kingdom standards diddy and dixie are incredibly hard to deal with (aka adhd af)
