Why do theses direct have to be so good recently ? It's too good !
Like, PAPER MARIO TTYD REMAKE !! Guys it's happening ! The gasp I made when I saw it, jus the first two notes of the beginning theme, loved that game ! And now, it's beautiful in HD, I looove it.
This, and we got Mario RPG's remake that looking pretty nice, the Mario vs Donkey Kong, the final booster pass that added more character than that what I expected, the Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, and finally that Princess Peach game !! I mean, it does look pretty easy and accessible to everyone, but that aside, what a charming game this look.
One of the most heart-wrenching things that've ever happened to me occurred while trying to research the Super Paper Mario art style.
"Ohh what a beautiful and interesting art style! It is very distinctive! I wonder if anyone else has tried or wanted to try breaking it down and replicating it?" Obliviously, I typed in Super Paper Mario Art Style into my search bar... only to find many people calling it ugly and saying they hate it.
This simply could not be... permanent damage was done to my artistic soul.
No joy? No whimsy in this world? No love of early computer graphics? Of the art that was born from the computer and is difficult to replicate without one? Of the art made when this was something new and fascinating? No love for something unique?
Super Paper Mario don't listen to all those haters I love your geometric art style influenced by what shapes are easily drawn on a computer and the smooth mechanical interpolation within your animations. I love you. Also the music is banger.

I don't know where the dialogue is from 😅, I only know that I found it in one of my old drawings (the dialogue was in Spanish) but I'd love to know where it is from... But hey it looks perfect with these gay ass men
I imagine as the seven Star Spirits of the Star Sanctuary are the highest ranking in Star Haven, Geno has a great deal of respect for them. The Star Spirits, of course, respect him fully in return for being the one to take the initiative of going down to collect the pieces of the Star Road and repair it, even when its destruction meant the all Star Spirits, including him, would be too weak to manifest on the surface without some sort of vessel.
When Geno returns to Star Haven, he's unsure what others will make of his newfound identity drawn from the hand-carved doll he possessed during his adventure below. But the other Star Spirits were more than happy to adjust accordingly and quickly switched to calling him by his new name when asked.
