would you ever have the either of the bros use a 1-up in your art?
Oooh this is a tricky question. 🙇♀️
Short answer is maybe. Long answer is "I absolutely want to and have been scribbling down notes for a personal take on this concept ever since I joined the fandom months before the movie even came out, the idea is very much there but I can't seem to narrow it down to a feasible format that wouldn't take me forever to make and there's so much context needed to reach that point it admittedly feels a little overwhelming, so I honestly have no idea whether I'll actually draw it someday or not, BUT the inspiration for it has remained constant and I think about it on a fairly regular basis, so... That's good. I think?" 😅
If anything, the 1-UP mushroom will definitely at least be mentioned in my art eventually, but I can't offer any guarantee other than that. ><

Look I love 1-up mushrooms as much as the next smg4 fan but I personally headcanon they only work on people who are native to the mushroom kingdom like Mario and Luigi and so and so
If anyone else were to try to use them on a dead body nothing would happen

A 1996 Super Mario 64 manga suggests that 1-Up Mushrooms grow from the bodies of dead Marios, perpetuating the cycle of life and death

It's so funny that, in the Hotel Mario prototype, the "toasters" cutscene has had its audio completely obliterated by a stereo test that isn't even stereo.

I can't rememeber if you have been asked this before, but what kind of story would you want a Mario Movie sequel to have? Or what kind of themes or message would you want the film to convey?
First of all, it would depend whether the first film would have to be taken into full consideration for that or not; because if so, that would admittedly limit my ideas quite a bit. I have my own interpretation and imaginings regarding how I would have pictured the main story to go, you see! 🤓📝
But either way, if I had to start at a point that would initiate its own new adventure as a follow-up to the first one (regardless of what it was), I would make it so that the story revolves once again around something that we are closely accustomed to as gamers, and transpose it in a way that would give this universe a new sense of emotional depth and complexity.
The exact theme? Life. Or should I say: "additional" lives. 🎇
Their sheer significance and all-changing capacity. How we often take those for granted as gamers, until we can no longer afford to. What we would do if we had just one more. How we would have played the level differently if we had known. How it impacts our gaming experience as a whole and what it means if we stop to look at it from the hero's point of view. What would happen if they were given a choice. Etc. I've always felt drawn to the idea that these characters could actually die, and have thus made the 1-Up mushroom a massively important element of the lore that I have compiled for my version. Its origin and very existence completely shrouded in mystery. Endlessly sought-after by all. A power-up largely rumored to be real, although nobody can be sure of it nor even claim to have ever seen one.
My aim would be for this story to take a more somber and more mature route while retaining some of the levity that makes this franchise so charming and appealing. Have its narrative acknowlege the seriousness of the addressed theme and embrace its solemn tone. For it to be handled with care and respect; to allow for the characters to express a level of humanity never seen before, and its message to strike a chord with everyone. 💙

my edgy super mario horror-esque au where the mushroom kingdom turns on mario and luigi because the mushrooms and toads are reverting back to their primal fungal forms.. and.. well fungi feed on dead and decomposing creatures and they are VERY hungry :p peach is there also but her helpfulness is questionable

How would Mychael have reacted if mc reacted how I actually did irl when I saw his face and multiple eyes: just immediately like omg So Pretty??? He's so lovely and I'm very very gay
Technically the same as in the demo haha! You do compliment him to varying degrees between 'attractive', 'unique' and 'hot'. And he'd just be flustered and be at a loss for words.

WIP of a scene from the second chapter of my fanfic "You Are What Gives Color To the World": Princess Peach and Donkey Kong must enter the ruins of the Mushroom Kingdom Castle to retrive a rare Power-Up that could bring Luigi back.
This is my first time drawing Donkey Kong, I found him pretty difficult to draw, although not as much as Bowser.
I want to make two more drawings for the chapter (that's another reason why I haven't finished writing the chapter 😅). Also, don't worry! Today's Luigi Day and you'll get a Luigi sketch before the day ends 💚✨

In retrospect, I'm glad they didn't use the 1-Up Mushroom for this movie
As I said before, I don't know how they would've used the 1-UP in the movie without having to bump up the age rating.
But that's what fan content is for 🤭
