#mariostuff

I played the game as a kid. A wee lad, if you will. I know there is some dialogue that debunks some of it, but I either forgot that stuff or my kid brain completely skipped over it. And when the art style is so geometric, it's not hard to misunderstand the art. Here we go:

I'll start with Dimentio because he's real popular with tumblr. I thought he was a woman

I also thought the ends of his poncho were his arms,

as drawn here.

I thought the text at the end of 4-4 meant that Squirps fucking died (Text squished together so I can fit the pic limit)

But nope! You can find him after completing the game at the end of the Woah Zone

I thought the collar of Bleck's cape was hair

I thought Grambi and Jaydes were divorced💀. Yknow, living seperately, their daughter having to travel between them. You can't blame me, my parents were going through a divorce

I thought Francis' ponytail was like... a bandana end? Or like the tie to a ninja mask? Idk man. I just didn't think it was hair

I thought Merlon's pendant thingy was his mouth. I still can't unsee it💀

I thought Thoreau's "fingers" were his hair and he had an afro. I honestly didn't get that he was hand-shaped

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP "NEOSQUID" IT WOULD BE SO FUNNY

Take away the fatphobic lines. like cmon man

The Bruce Lee line is iconic cuz it implies he exists in the mario universe. I hope they keep it but its more likely that itll get taken out
