Hold on-a Pauline, I'mma toching myself! Weeee...

Photo of a "Vintage 1981 Coleco Nintendo Donkey Kong Mario PVC Figure Bros". Mario from the hit arcade game Donkey Kong is holding up one hand, pointing upward, while using the other hand to touch himself on his crotch.

It is loosely based on Mario's pose from the original US flyer for the Donkey Kong arcade game - which sees him pointing up at the dastardly Donkey Kong - except there both of his hands were positioned away from his Super Mario Balls.

I enabled developer settings for something else and realized then that I'd been affected. My device is running Android 14, fuck if I know the last time I was nagged to install a security update. So yeah the worst case scenario is here; even your old devices that haven't been updated, aren't yours.

This will be PAC-MAN in TWENTY-TEN.

Paintover of a Pac-Man Party render that gives him the classic Pac-Man eyes and that's it. Nothing else. /srs (ie; pure black, no sclera)

This render is weird because his shoes are actually supposed to be orange with red accents in-game, as well as in most other renders using this design.

In this render they appear a a lighter red, which coincidentally does a better job resembling how classic Pac-Man's boots tend to just use that solid red color throughout.

Stuff for a cancelled addendum to "Super Boy 4: Super Mario World" I briefly worked on.

Spritesheet of Mario for "Super Boy 4" for the SEGA Master System. It tries to look closer to the original Super Mario World sprite with its colors and shading.

Poses for walking and jumping are based on Luigi's from the All-Stars + World version, the latter being due to technical limitations which prevent Mario's original jump sprite from being converted for this game.

Small Mario's sprites had to be condensed from a 16x24 pixel size to a 16x16 pixel size; he's squashed-looking but still meant to be recognizable as a version of the Super Mario World sprite.

Sprite off to the furthest left is Lady-Bluestreak's own Mario sprite from her hack Super Boy 4: Super Mario World. It's designed around the original palette Super Boy had in the base game, and lacks shading as a result.

Fire Mario is done by altering the sprite palette, I think two or three colors get swapped out. I couldn't work around that in order to get the proper Fire Mario palette.

My ass should NOT be saying this but I kind of need the FPGB Mini injected into my veins. (at a reasonable price) A DMG-like design is all I've wanted out of their FPGBC; a miniaturized DMG* is something I've dreamed of since Nintendo was doing Classic Editions. Really hope it feels good!

Early image of an FPGB Mini. It's positioned side-by-side with a Nintendo Game Boy DMG-01, which the FPGB Mini closely resembles - moreso than other vertical handhelds. So far, the best look at the upcoming FPGBC successor from FunnyPlaying.

You still have to luck out with it doing a high jump before you can freeze it; at that point it's more resourceful to make a run under it if you can react quick enough. Maybe freeze it on the ground and then use the Magnet Beam to get over? Never tried it though as that's even more wasteful.

It really does seem that way. No mention at all in regards to DLC being included, and I found that really surprising in Mania's case here considering it's about to turn a decade old next year.

It feels almost arbitrary whether the modern palette is used because a fair amount of non-Anniversary games do it (some well before Maker 1, even). It's hard to say if promotional materials are as conflicted as the games, but likewise I can't pinpoint a real pattern with how the palette is decided.
