Feel free to elaborate or tell stories.  In fact--if you don't--I'll hit you with a crusty rod.

There are a lot of Mario pictures out there... Some come from America, some from Japan, and still others from immaterial beings referred to as "fan artists".  Some come from Nintendo.  Some come from an old notebook you used in 2nd grade... It's time to share your favorites.

I know I'm not the only one who loves the ending sequence for SMW.  And I certainly hope I'm not the only one who left this illustration on the TV for hours...




... but we're just getting started.  I was visiting the official site for SM64:DS when I found this background.  I like it because it really feels like you're inside the castle:




I apologize for the blurriness, but it's all for artistic effect, you know.  Anyway, here's another one; I bet you've seen it before:




I like it because the four big characters are together, and each one of them is real--with a personality.  I can just stare and think about what's going through each person's mind.  Also, Mario's using a Game Boy--just like the one I have!  The only thing missing is Toad, and he may very well be shoved inside Peach's dress at that moment, so who knows?  Maybe no one's missing after all!

This'll be fun!  Now, start sharing or watch out for rusty cods...
Today's actually... nobody's birthday!  Quick, hurry up and make a baby!

I've never heard an artist apologize for their art so I assume that either you didn't make it, you are not an artist, or both.

Pretty much confirming he did not make it.

P.S. - Spoiler tag just turns text and background for that text to black, it does nothing for images.

Anybody have that official artwork of Exor wedged in Bowser's Keep with the dark sky in the background? I love that one. I also like the one that shows Mario holding the hammer above his head while standing on some kind of mound with four Goombas surrounding him, looking up at the hammer in a trancelike manner.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

I have that picture. I think she lost the belly for Super Mario Strikers though.

Me: Why?

Heh, gotta love Flower Fields. Hammer Posie's tree and she'll get mad then say this. Hit it too many times and she'll kick you out. Try to come back several times and she'll let you back in.

I've beaten the chapter, game, and sequeal.

This is another one of my favorites:

From the Mario Kart: Super Circuit commercial (japanese).
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Funny how later games say koopas ALWAYS wear boxers underneath their shells.

Definitely wasn't that way in Super Mario World.



Or Paper Mario.


Yes, I know I have a sick mind. Stop asking me if I'm aware of that.

Ahaha, VGC, I love the first one.  It's definitely an old favorite--as are many of SMW's illustrations:






One of my oldest favorites, though, comes from the first Mario game I ever owned.  This is the game that claimed my childhood--and this picture sums up everything that has and ever will be fun:

Not really... at all... Back then, perhaps...
I really love the M&L:PiT box art. Here's a desktop version I have used...
This might be what The Chef is talking about, but maybe not. I like this one a lot.

I like this cinema from M&L:SS:



Cackletta and Fawful look quite fearsome in this picture, standing off in the background like that, looming over everyone else.
