My only regret here is that I didn't make Mario quite as ugly as the typical protagonist in these kinds of games/lurid juvenile power fantasy simulators.

Ho ho-! There's our good friend Jump-man Mario, batting a thousand against "Donkey" Kong. Don't let his papist blood sour you, this gent is the "bee's knees"!

I love Mario's crouching animation in Super Mario Bros. 3. He seems like he's trying to get away from it all, you know? Maybe there's a little Mario in us all...

So I did this one using traditional media (i.e. pen & paper). I vastly prefer drawing this way, but it's much more time-consuming. Maybe I will try for one in this style per week.
