✨ Hamish Steele ✨ Go-Man Vs. the Star Dragon OUT NOW! @hamishsteele.bsky.social · 17/05/2025I beleive Sakurai said Bowser's Smash depiction, especially in Melee, was based on how scary he found confronting Bowser in the original sprite form. 1190

Dave Littler @dave-littler.bsky.social · 17/05/2025I remember when I was a little kid and Mario wasn't really the pop culture icon he would soon become, I processed this sprite through my understanding of "Bowser" as a dog's name and assumed he was supposed to be some dog/turtle hybrid. That big doggy snout made it easy to do so. 170

feyzer.bsky.social @feyzer.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Especially when the one on the cover was also quite different from what he would become? Gotta love those early rough steps, like what the Rogue Trader era was for Warhammer 40k. 130
Euli @spicecream.bsky.social · 17/05/2025He looks like a blind cave dweller 😭 (endearing) Like you'd open a cellar door and he turns around like 050
