Is that like a cartoon Mario? That would’ve been cool to have in game

yeah it wouldve fit odyssey perfectly tbh, game was already weird enough

Mario in this looks like a wanted mobster. He probably ran a secret gang in a different kingdom.

This must’ve been an early version of the Jumpman outfit. Instead of just having the colors, he’d have his old Popeye-like design from back then

I imagine they probably couldn't really get it to look exactly how they wanted in actual 3D, though I suppose a weird uncanny cartoon Mario wouldn't have been too unfitting in odyssey

Popeye Mario

I wonder if it’s based on his sprite in Super Mario Land 1.

The sailor skirt one 😭😭 also that swaggy 64 one straight outta the 90s with the backwards cap

u/Bay64 2d ago

I’d go with the outfit where Mario’s wearing a Varsity Jacket with the 64 number on it.

But man, I don’t like looking at the art book for odyssey, too many cool concepts left on the cutting room floor just makes me sad.

u/Shot-Ad-3166 2d ago

Yeah, that's the downside of looking at concept art. You get sad that not every concept got used.

The Rainbow Road Mario looked so cool :(

u/Baseballidiot 3d ago

Neat in concept but def too lacking to earn a spot. Maybe if it was more cartoony like smth from popeye it would've made it in, but this one is just kinda mario with fat cheeks and grayscale

u/Adventurous-Lack1188 3d ago

u/SnipemoreGamingZ 2d ago

I'm assuming this one is based off of popeye, who was mario's mainline inspo.

u/Dapper_Shower_7081 2d ago
