Mario and Luigi: warrior plumbers tee

Posted by Cory Doctorow, January 14, 2009 9:56 PM |

Matt sez, "The guy behind one of my favorite web comics, Dr McNinja, did this awesome tshirt design wherein Mario's world is de-cartooned and amped up. Yoshi is a scary dinosaur with a monstrous tongue, goombas look like acid visions of mushrooms and the piranha plants have shark-like teeth."

Warrior Plumbers T-Shirt (Thanks, Matt!)

are you sure the goombas don't look like... *mushroom* visions of mushrooms?

dammit! it's happening again...I'm sure that raptor is from somewhere... there are only so many ways to draw things just as there is a finite number of musical figures...

Mario can't shoot fireballs while riding Yoshi. FAILURE.

Kidding of course. This is a great rendering without going as far into the disturbing territory as some other reimaginings. Not that I dislike those either.

Actually, what scares me is that Yoshi's arms seem to be green coloured human limbs that have been surgically grafted onto the dino-thing.

Still falls behind The People's Mario, but is pretty cool nonetheless.

The de-cartooned Mario & Luigi remind me of a Perry Bible Fellowship comic from a while ago.

Dunno. I've always thought of Yoshi as a Nanotyrannus, or at least a juvenile tyrannosaurid, rather than a Utahraptor. He's never struck me as being particularly dromeosaurid in any way.

This is remix of an early DragonBall manga cover, IIRC

Yeah, everytime I look at the picture, my eyes keep getting drawn to the trex with hands instead of claws. it weirds me out a bit.
