Mario The Music Box - Blog Posts

Does anyone else ever think about this?

Now, this may have already been brought up before but here we go{ (Feel free to skip directly to the end, because this is simply a silly explaination/overthinking sesh that I have everytime I see these pictures)

I was comparing old and new cgs on Mario the music box the other day, and there is this one old vs. new cg that really stands out to me, and here it is:

Now, I absolutely adore these two cgs for different reasons. Of course, the new one is much prettier, more expressive, and they actually look like they are caught in the rain. The old one looks like a filter was simply put over the drawing. Now, don't get me wrong, I totally get that these two drawings were done at different points in Corpse Syndrome's life, and it does not take anything away from either in the slightest. Now, in hindsight, it really does make more sense that Alice would stab Riba in the leg to reach his neck easier, given their height difference, as shown by Corpse syndrome's height comparison image here:

Next up, here is another image that shows their height difference in-game. This is a cg taken from MTMBR, when Riba first meets Mario in the hall:

Now when I had seen this new picture the first time, I was absolutely blind-sided by just how freakin' tall Riba is next to Mario. Now perhaps it's just the perspective, which is pretty great, but it was this image that had really got me thinking about a mildly amusing implication that Malice had climbed up Riba's body so she could slice his neck open

Thanks for reading this tangent!

Unrelated side note: Another thing I really like about the newer cgs is that the light sources some of characters use get more visibility. They are truly the unsung heroes of this masterful game

DAF:

For @kingdicemrwheezyflowertor m+l:war of destruction

Here's a concept of Jeffy survived in the war.

He was hit in the head by Goliath causing him to suffer severe brain damage,bad...at the very best of this situation,he'll be lucky enough to be able to count to 100. At the worst,he'll need to be taken care of for the rest of his life. he won't be able to form coherent sentences,eat properly,so in a nutshell.. he'll be reverted to the mindset of a toddler.

Anna was in severe denial refusing to believe that the once cheerful, rebellious caring boy is suffering severe brain damage.

Serina is upset because of what happened to her adoptive little brother but she'll make sure to keep Jeffy out of harm's way.

Feebee is angered at Goliath for what he did to Jeffy and now his mindset is a toddler because of him.

Derpy,his long time girlfriend is in the similar situation as feebee has, she'll get revenge on Goliath for what happened to her boyfriend.

Anna and serina aduraice!

The two oldest aduraice children who were raised in the aduraice mansion,You all know the aduraice family history but what if Anna didn't kill serina and they escaped the mansion with few survivors [honoka triplets and emi watchmaker].

Anna:she became less depressed thanks to their heroes and she lets go of the jealousy of serina and sees her as an innocent little girl who needs love. Anna is a calm,selfless,caring,kind girl who would do anything to never let the history repeat itself.

Mario and Luigi decided to adopt the two girls and raise them in the mushroom kingdom

Serina:she remained innocent but like Luigi, she's scared of ghosts and sometimes other things like dungeons and executions[Luigi said that when she was a little girl that made her cry] but in the end,she stays strong and brave to help her adoptive family.

In M+L:war of destruction

Anna:she is in severe denial of what's happening and she's pretending that everything is okay but it isn't.

Serina:she is trying to maintain everyone's happiness so they won't be as negative as much.

Jeffy:he is concerned about his adoptive family and wants to do something to help like playing a song on his cat piano.

Feebee:she is confused and concerned about what's going on and she tried to smile for them and comfort them as soon as possible with toys,blankets,stories and more.

Anna and serina as teens!

Years ago,they escaped the aduraice mansion when Alice killed everyone for a ritual to be with riba. They found a warp pipe which lead to the mushroom kingdom and the two young children are scared wondering in the kingdom with toads and such. Mario and Luigi found the girls and decided to take them in and raise them as if they were Mario's daughters and Luigi's nieces. Anna became much happier and less depressed and serina remained innocent and fragile. This inspired Anna to be like Mario.
