Nov 24 2010The Many Faces Of Super Mario Mushrooms

shrooms-1.jpg

Graphic artist Mathijs Sterrenburg (whose favorite video game is Legend of Zelda, FTW!) went and created 120 different variations of the power-up mushroom from the Super Mario franchise. These are them (well, 30 of them, the rest are after the jump). Damn -- how cool would it have been if there was a power-up mushroom that turned you into Vader? I'd have force-choked Bowser from level 1-1 and been back to the Death Star in time to blow up Endor! F***ing love the smell of burnt Ewok in the morning.

Hit the jump for 90 more.

gotta have my shroomss.

Forts!

impressive work!

Thanks for the feature of my artworks :)

very creative Mathijs- you can tell a lot of work went into them

@5: If this really is your work, I'm sorely disappointed in you.

You include Waluigi, but leave out Wario.

You include Tails, but leave out Sonic.

What's up with that, man? Disappointed!

Pssst. You guys. This way -

COULD EAT THEM ALL, EASILIY

@Seth,

I didn't made wario yet, it is in poster 5 actually but that is not done yet ;)

About sonic, in a 100% frontview perspective you can't see his spike's or the shroom would be way bigger then the rest + the distortion of the shape looked really odd, that's why e's not in it, i tried ;)

Nice, but seems incomplete.

How about a Million Pop Shroom project.
I identifying the history of pop culture in the form of Mario mushroom form.

Where's the Afro Disco haircut ??

@Yep

A million pop? Like pop stars?

Cause there is one big problem, you can't put faces on the shroom =/

Why? They loose their mouth + they get really distorted because of the shape of the shroom + people with dark hair can't be used and long hair makes the shroom cell too long compared to the other shrooms.

@Bones

Afro's are usually black, black on black doesn't go really well ;p
And a big afro would make the shroom cell too big compared to others, lot to think about when making them actually haha

These are stupid. OMG! Logos pasted on recolored mushrooms.

Art fail.

@15
I couldn't have said it better myself. Great, you spent time cutting and pasting famous characters on mushrooms. And?

This is stupid.

I was bummed 'cause I couldn't find Midna, but then I saw boob. That made up for it.

yes but.... can you eat them?

@18

Whose boob?

cool work.

i am cracking up at how random some of your mushrooms are!

@ 15 & 16

Try painting them instead ;)
Copy-pasting them would just be lame.

i saw boob!

Next can you paste some images into the little TV power-ups from Sonic? That should require about as much work.

CTRL+X
CTRL+V
Repeat

This is shitty.

Art fail.

@ 24

Read 22 ;)

Cheese, shut freak go do something better than, come back and get GW to post it so we can make fun of you, oh wait your probably too useless to come up with something original so go fuck your self douche bag.

Cheese is an assclown and his children will have cancer. This is pretty cool art. Instead of being a troll, Cheese, you should do something other than bring diseased children into the world.

well said @27

cheese stop being a giant d-bag before i send you to your room without supper

some r good most r dumb

Yeah., What I said .^

Cheese may underestimate the work that goes into it, however many of them are like he says, logos pasted into the appropriate layer in photoshop.

Of course there's nothing wrong with setting up your layers to do the work for you, that's part of the photoshop game!

Personally I think the idea was cool and some of them are kinda neat, but there are way too many "filler" icons in here that water down the overall effect. If only the best 25% or so were shown it would have been much more effective.

"Too many 'shrooms. Simply cut a few and it'll be perfect!"

P.S. the cloud is my favorite, it's iconic yet mysterious. I'd be curious to see what happened if mario ate one of those!

P.P.S. No TRON 'Shroom? I think that'd have worked well.
