The idea for today's Mario was submitted by Andrew M., age 11. Thanks for following the site, Andrew!

#118/128 - Toon Mario

Adventure on the high seas!

#117/128 - Oldschool

For those who still... remember...

#116/128 - Mushroom Kingdom Hearts

#115/128 - Juggem's Cloud

The tables have turned!

#114/128 - January

#113/128 - Flying Mario

#112/128 - Lurking Danger (pt. 3) -- OR -- Hi, I'm Daisy

The shocking conclusion to this nonsense trilogy I've devised. (Part 1, Part 2)
Mostly just an excuse to draw Princess Daisy messing up some fool with a golf club.

#111/128 - Teenage Meddlin' Koopa Brothers

#110/128 - Flat Mario

Didn't have time to draw anything good, so I did this instead. Sorry!

#109/128 - No Donkey Kong Country For Old Men

Donkey Kong is kind of a Mario character, anyways!

#107/128 - Frog Mario II

I wasn't happy with my first attempt, so I tried again from a different perspective.

#106/128 - Attack of the Koopa Kids!

(Click above to view full size)
I finally got around to the Koopa Kids!

The earliest memories I have of drawing are of copying illustrations from the Super Mario World instruction manual, and these guys were always my favorite subjects. I had originally planned to dedicate an entire week to depicting duels with each individual Koopaling for 128 Marios, but as I figured such a self-indulgent detour so close to the end would leave people cold, I tried to cram them all into one picture instead. The final product's a bit more rushed and crowded than I'd have liked, but there you are.

...wow, these posts sure are getting text-heavy! I'll try to cut down on the rambling.

#105/128 - Mario the Rapper

In the rain or in the snow
Draw the draw the Mario

...yeah, though, Parappa the Rapper! Familiarize yourself.

#104/128 - Tanooki Suit

(Click above to view full size)
Another obscure item from the games! There sure are a lot of them, huh?

#103/128 - Spring Mario

Yeah, I phoned this one in a lil' bit - I have been pretty sick as of late, so that is my excuse!

As an aside, this is probably my least favorite power-up from the Mario series. Yes, it lets you jump higher, but it's so much harder to control! More like a power-down, says I.

#102/128 - Top Secret Area

Based on an especially useful hidden level from Super Mario World.

#101/128 - Mario Party

#100/128 - New Life

This project of mine is nearing completion, but don't count Mario out yet! I daresay he has a bit more... life left in him...? Aha, ahaha.

#99/128 - Mario's Laboratory

Mario tinkering a bit with F.L.U.D.D.. (Those are lab goggles he's wearing, by the way.)

#98/128 - Samurai Mario

#97/128 - Marionapped!

#96/128 - Virtual Fighter

Based on the eye-straining graphics of the late, great Virtual Boy. (Look it up!)

#95/128 - Sunken Horrors

Based on one of my favorite levels from all of Mario-dom.

#94/128 - Pulp Mushroom

"You know what they call a Goomba in Japan?"
"They don't call it a Goomba?"
"Nah man, they call it a Kuribo."
"Kuribo!"

#93/128 - Mario Mario: Ace Attorney

The Phoenix Wright series - it is great! And parodied by this piece.

#92/128 - Mega Mario

#91/128 - Mini Mario

#90/128 - Teddy Mario

#89/128 - The 'Works

Happy "New-Year"!
