The Most Badass the Mushroom Kingdom has Ever Looked
(click to enlarge)
So I’ve been posting a lot of stuff from DeviantArt lately because frankly, I’ve been finding a lot of cool shit, but this latest find is perhaps the greatest piece of work I’ve seen on the site to date.
I had seen the Mario and Luigi pictured here before, but the artist (lastscionz) must have decided to go back and take it to a new level with the baddies and peach. Good lord, I never though Mario enemies could be so terrifying. Look at that Goomba. For reference THIS is what a Goomba is supposed to look like.
I wish there was someway I could blow this up into like a five foot tall poster, but I’ll have to be satisfied with ordering a print here. Only a few left so hurry!
Dammit that set up is familiar. I dont know if its a movie or a video game but there is another poster out there with the bad guy looming over the two heroes ready to throw down like that. I want to say double dragon or something … This is going to bug me.
OK I think it was a cutscene in a NES Ninja Gaiden game. Now if google image search would hook me up …
Mario looks as he’s on a propaganda poster for Mother Russia!
Damn fine looking print though.
Deviant Art is fucking awesome.
@ JZ
What you’re talking about is definitely familiar. Maybe it was Jacquio in the NG games, but also, could it be M.Bison standing over Ryu and Ken? I can’t figure it out, either.
Where’s BONES?! 🙁
This is honestly a great art concept for a new game, just imagine playing a cel shaded game where everything is bad ass. wont happen though.
diablo, thats where it looks familiar
Ask him if he can make it print.
I like it. It is awesome and better drawing I ever seen. Yoshi is so cute! And those two mario n luigi looks great.
If you think Mario is badass here (I love this artist, I follow him on DA) then you need to check out ‘There Will Be Brawl’ over on Escapist. Quite possibly THE most epic web series I have EVER seen. You should watch and do a review. It’s epic getting to see all those old Nintendo characters slammed together in such a gritty decaying world.

have you made this into phones yet?
@JZ you mean this one? http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs31/f/2008/200/a/3/Street_Fighter_Tribute_Art_by_NgBoy.jpg
Awesome artwork.
Nice!
If I was a producer, I would have the artist start making a movie!
This is Super Mario Bros. as an RPG.
This an awesome poster and site. That should be a great movie,too!!
