#88/128 - Frog Mario

#86/128 - Stained Glass Mario

#85/128 - Hammer of the Bros.

#84/128 - Final Smash

#83/128 - Ice Mario

It took me less time to complete this Mario than perhaps any other. I don't think it looks half bad, considering.

Merry Christmas, 128 Marios!

Merry Christmas, movie house!

#81/128 - The Mario Before Christmas

Up on the housetop - Yoshi paws!

This was originally going to be the Mario posted on Christmas day, but I like the one I drew for Christmas Eve a lot better, so you'll see that one tomorrow instead.

Interesting points to consider: why is the rein-yoshi at the head of Mario's sleigh closer to his destination than he is? Why is Mario pointed towards the edge of the roof instead of the chimney? Perhaps it is a bit of Christmas magic at work. Yes, I believe a Christmas wizard is responsible.

#80/128 - The Ghosts of Christmas

The Boos of Christmas (left to right): Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Future.

#79/128 - Humbug!

#78/128 - Super Miser Bros.

On the third day of Christmas, I give to you a reference to an obscure holiday special. Year Without a Santa Claus, kids - make a note of it.

#77/128 - Gingerbread Mario

#76/128 - A Holly Jolly Mario

As with Halloween, I plan to spend the week leading up to Christmas drawing Christmas-themed Marios. EXPECT THE FIRST MARIO WHEN THE BELL TOLLS... whenever now is.

On the first day of Christmas, a very snowy Mario offers you a cup of cheer.

#75/128 - A MARIO draws near!

Another piece based on graphics from an old game, but drawn from scratch.

#74/128 - Mario Trek

The obvious counterpart to yesterday's installment.

#73/128 - Mario Wars

#72/128 - Super Mario Galaxy

I didn't draw the background - that's another point for the ever-popular Google Image Search.

#71/128 - December

Snow is falling, penguins are chirping... summer is here!

#70/128 - Lurking Danger (pt. 2)

The thrilling continuation!

#69 - Movie Mario

(Click above to view full size)
Based loosely on the characters as depicted in the Super Mario Bros. Movie, which, if you're not familiar with it... be thankful, okay?

#68 - Cavemario

#67 - Koopa Shell Mario

#66/128 - Charming As Ever

#65/128 - Marioryuken

#64/128 - Wing Cap Mario

We're halfway through! Stick around - I have a feeling the next 64 Marios will be even Marioer.

(And yes, I did draw an aerial view of that entire level.)

#63/128 - Mario Kart

You knew this one was coming. I sort of put it off on account of hating to draw go-karts, but...

#62 - Lurking Danger

Who could that be, I wonder...?

#61 - The Evolution of Mario

(Click above to view full size)
Featuring a possibly unnecessary pun/cameo.

#60/128 - Mobile Suit MARIO

Mostly based on Gundam, with a little Megazord and Voltron mixed in there.

#59/128 - Sir Mario

#55/128 - Game Over Walking

#54/128 - Balloon Mario!

A Mario float for Thanksgiving.

#53/128 - Augh!

Well, it is football season, right?

...no seriously, I'm asking you.

#52/128 - November

The obvious sequel to #9.

#51/128 - Yer Mario

#50/128 - Consultation

#49/128 - You Shall Not Pasta

Get it? "Pasta"? He's Italian.

#48/128 - HEY PAIZANOS

This started as a portrait of "Captain" Lou Albano but quickly degenerated into something far more creepy.

#47/128 - My Kingdom for a Hat

#46/128 - Golden Axe

One world down...

#45/128 - Bee Mario

#44/128 - Mario & Luigi

Doin' what they can!

#43/128 - Blue Yoshi

#42/128 - Yellow Yoshi

I really like how this one turned out.

#41/128 - Red Yoshi

#40/128 - Green Yoshi

The next couple of Marios all feature Yoshis!

This particular piece is pretty awful and hackneyed, but the others are pretty good.

#39/128 - Mariobound

Mario & co. in the art style of the peerless MOTHER series.

Believe it or not, I didn't modify any existing sprites for this one. I did, however, painstakingly recreate the art style of the games, pixel by pixel - all so that you could think I was being lazy.
