I want to make a video about my Pokemon collection but I think of too many ideas and get paralyzed 🫠 I also think it's be too long and no one would care enough to justify the production time

Felt like I needed to make this when I could. Used to stream eSports tourneys and now I'm a housewife that collects cardboard. I cook bombass food, only play Pokemon Unite, and my vision is clouded by nostalgia. He/Him Twitch.tv/GooshiGaming
![This is the box art for Paper Mario.
This is likely the only place where most players would see official art of Kooper, and it depicts him with a bandage, suggesting it is part of his character design.
The bandage is part of the audience's image of Kooper.

The bandage does not appear in any of his in-game sprites, but this is easy enough to overlook given how small their resolution is. Official art often includes details absent from sprites.
However, there is another, much rarer piece of actual official art depicting him without a bandage. So what is the truth?
It turns out the bandage art was likely meant to be paired up with art of Mario with the same bandage. Due to only Kooper making it onto the box, the context was lost and it looked like his design.
