Toadette has undergone zero design change since her debut in Double Dash. This is because she is without flaw

[weirdmarioenemies]

Name: Pit Plant

Debut: Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

This Piranha Plant has bright green, ridged lips. That's how you know it is from the GameCube! Did you know? The abbreviation often used for the GameCube is "GCN", which stands for "Green Clothed Nibbler", referencing the green lips of the Piranha Plants. The mouth is the nibbler, and of course, the lips are the clothes of the mouth, keeping it closed and appropriate. Green clothed nibbler!

Unfortunately, Pit Plant's story is a bit of a sad one :( let's learn why...

This is Dry Dry Desert! It is a desert, it is dry, and it is dry again as well, wouldn't you know it. It is not to be confused with the many other Mario deserts named Dry Dry Something. But it's hard to get this one mistaken for another, because it is so incredibly distinctive! The sun and the sphynx are looking down upon us with funny Mario object eyes, which are also present all over the place, as with any Double Dash course.

Dry Dry Desert is also distinguished by its Danger! There are Pokeys, sure, but also roving whirlwinds, and best of all...

Pit Plant! A unique green Piranha Plant with yellow spots and brown spikes, which sits at the bottom of a conical pit of sand. I know what this means. You know what this means. Let's sing it together!

If you slip down the sand, get chomped, and start dyin',

You, my friend, were caught by the antlion!

Pit Plant is based on antlions! The insect that, in its larval form, sits at the bottom of a pit just like Pit Plant's, waiting for poor bugs to lose their traction on the sloped walls. Once they get in the center, the antlion will chomp its prey and slurp its insides through its hollow mandibles! This is not like what a lion does at all.

In case it was not obvious by now which I sincerely hope it was, Pit Plant is Dangerous. There is even a billboard warning everyone about it! Not just a sign, a BILLBOARD. A very prominent, permanent fixture. They know about the danger Pit Plant causes, but it is just a native plant, living its life! This is its home, and it is your own fault if you get eaten by it.

We only see Pit Plant's head, which is the flower, so there is so much lurking underground that we cannot see! No leaves to speak of, but there is no need for much photosynthesis when you can and do eat an entire Waluigi. Probably a Stomach of some kind down there, since Piranha Plants have those. Most intriguing is how it made this pit in the first place, though! Maybe it uses its roots to dig, or there are indeed some leaves underground, modified for burrowing! I like to think that the architecture of the entire pit is formed by its roots, keeping the shape anchored securely even if the sand is blown all over the place.

I am sorry, but it is time for the sad part.

Here is Dry Dry Desert in Mario Kart 8. It's just one angle, so there's not much to judge from this image, though I like the Hammer Bro-looking sphynx, a nice reminder that this is a turtle world and we're just living in it. But such realistic clouds... these ones would never have eyes, and neither do the realistic pyramids... it already feels kind of lifeless compared to the original, and that is worrisome. The tornado is even gone! What's the deal? Take me to Pit Plant! I need to see my friend Pit Plant, and maybe toss some raw chicken into its mouth from afar!

...It's gone. Pit Plant is dead. In its place? Nothing. Just a hole. This is a remake! Isn't it supposed to IMPROVE on the original? I like the oasis, but other than that, this remake feels so lifeless. If you fall in the hole, Lakitu takes you out, and that's it. They could have still had Pit Plant! Just have a brief fade to black and Lakitu dropping you back on the track! And the billboards, now purely advertising. I don't think Red Shell Strike Equipment is behind the removal of Pit Plant, but I will forever associate them with it. You know who's not innocent, though?

I blame the tourism department! Could it be a coincidence that once the most notable dangers subsided, Dry Dry Desert started being advertised as a tourist destination? Maaaybe Pit Plant reached the end of its natural life cycle, but the tornado is gone, too. Maybe that went away on its own, and then some heartless CEOs were thinking "Now all that's keeping people from visiting is that pesky Pit Plant..." I don't want to imagine it!

I really am so sad about Pit Plant's removal. I have not even played Double Dash, but I don't need to in order to recognize the whimsy and creativity that was lost. Dry Dry Desert went from being extremely distinct to perhaps the most aesthetically standard a Desert Course could be. Can't you so vividly see Pit Plant as the featured element on its course icon, in a better world?

Wherever you are, Pit Plant, I hope you are happy. I hope you're eating clumsy angels that fall into your cloud trap. Who knows! Maybe you even ate God, and became the new one! I'd like to think so. I feel you smiling down on me.

~ so I been seeing a lot of Mario au stuff around Tumblr and Twitter that some of the characters are mages or have/learn new types of magics and I love that idea and I have some au headcanons too 😆🍄💫🌟I actually been having these headcanons for like the past few years now I never talk about it cuz I’m shy, time to share them hehe :) since I played Mario Wonder I added Daisy along on this too, She and Toadette are besties and have the same type of magic, plant <3🌸🌿I call it Flowerbrand, I think that fits well since Mario’s Fire magic is called Firebrand🔥and Luigi’s electric magic Thunderhand ⚡️

There’s a hidden temple palace in Chucklehuck Woods it’s really hard to find unlike the Fire and Thunder Palace on Oho Oasis, the guardian then greets Daisy and Toadette. After they touch the green flower orb they both gain their plant magic <3 The guardian also teaches them some new plant magic techniques :D

Mario Music of the Day: Rainbow Road from Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

[suppermariobroth]

Between the prototype versions of Mario Kart: Double Dash seen in kiosk demos and the finished version of the game, some animations were changed, though in relatively minor ways. The only instance of an animation being completely reworked is Bowser's 1st place victory celebration when not driving the kart.

Left: in the prototype, Bowser jumps back and forth gleefully. Right: in the finished version, he cheers instead.

This was possibly changed due to the prototype animation being deemed to be unfitting of Bowser's personality, as he is not usually depicted as prone to jumping around when excited.

Drawing Every Mario Kart Character Pt. 3 - Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Double Dash introduced ELEVEN characters so I definitely had my work cut out for this one. I think the posing on all of these guys is great, and I real happy with how everyone came out in general.

Below is all the individual art

The next few Mario Karts should be a lot easier - I won't have to draw more than 10 characters at a time until I get to MK8
