First off thanks to everyone who voted for my little Bob-omb in the last sprite comp! And thanks to SP for letting us over at Minus World know about the competition so I could enter it in the first place. I think between our two forums we can really Make Comps Great Again. For this competition, I will ask you to stretch the bounds of your creativity in order to create something truly unique. Imagine for a moment: what if Mario and Luigi never found the secret warp zone while workin' on the drain? In other words, what if they never came to the Mushroom Kingdom, and just remained disgruntled plumbers for the remainder of their lives? No Princess Peach, no Bowser, no magical power-ups or abilities - just two brothers running a (likely failing) plumbing service in New York. In such a sad reality, what would the Mario Bros look like today? That's your job to figure out, and to depict in the form of a sprite sheet or pixel art! The following rules apply: - You can sprite Mario, Luigi, and/or any supplementary characters you choose to invent - but no characters from the Mushroom Kingdom. Remember, in this reality, Mario and Luigi never left Brooklyn, so they would never have met any wacky characters.
- We're looking for examples of action here - don't just sprite a grumpy-looking Mario. Show at least one example of something "regular plumber" Mario would do, ideally through animation, but non-animated poses will work too.
- No power-ups, magic blocks, super jumping, or any other wizardry. Welcome to the real world, kiddo. However, feel free to repurpose plumbing supplies and other ordinary objects as "power-up parodies", as long as no magic is involved.
That's about it! If my calculations are correct you have until Wednesday, August 2nd at 11:59pm to submit your entries. Hope this will be a fun one.
