This was something Chrssy and I (possibly some others, I don't remember. I just remember Chrssy and I) did before Smash Brothers was ever announced. Which also means we would have been somewhere between 10 and 12.

Essentially, it's concept stuff for a mortal kombat type game featuring Mario characters.

I'll just let the photos do the talking.



Logo!



Character options! They were drawn onto other pages, cut out, and then glued on this sheet. Not entirely sure why we chose that route, but, whatever.

The arrow in the lower right leads to..



A few other Bowser options!

That's all for art, but we also had a 3 page thing of the different moves each character had with names and button combinations too.







I really couldn't say if all the Yoshis having "nothing" meant they were useless or if we just hadn't thought about those yet. I'm gonna hope we just never thought of them.

Apparently, we also wanted to put Sonic and Saibot into it.

Either way, Smash Brothers was announced and released aaand we lost interest. Sadface.

Interesting concept, Lone.

You know, Ixzion had an idea for Ice Mario when he was about 8 or 9 years old.

Several years later...it happens.

As soon as I clicked on this thread and saw that first picture with the words "Mario Kombat", I immediately started playing this song in my head ->



... except with "Marion" in place of "Mortal" every time.



I say you and Chrssy should have gone through with this idea, anyway. ^_^

Epic win. I'm going to have to find that design I drew up for Super Gameboy back before that SNES gameboy cart was made. I know it's somewhere.

Do iiiit! Totally looking forward to more old and fruitless ideas!
