Classic Super Mario official art thread.
I'll be posting some of my favorite Mario art, some obscure, some others not so obscure, but always official, not fan art.
Got any cool pics to share?
>>2876353
Not exactly official art, but thanks for the effort anon
>>2876379
Awesome.
Merchandise pictures like this are also very much welcome.

I used to have this lunchbox, along with this sticker book as a kid.
>>2876381
You can view a complete scan of this book at http://catfish.it.cx/trsrockin/trsrockin.com/nintendo_sticker_activity.html

Amazing, I found a site with pictures of the inside pages

First time I see a sticker album/activity book hybrid, pretty cool.
There was also this Nintendo sticker album from 1992, ever collected stickers from this one?
>>2876387
haha, that's where I was pulling the images from.
Haven't seen the sticker book you posted before.
>>2876390
That album you posted has some pretty interesting art.
I don't think I've seen those before, and they look like official Miyamoto art, although I'm not sure.
I'll post pics of this other album in a minute.
>>2876387
Here's one of the inside pages.
>that koopa troopa

And another one.
The album included SMB1, 2 3 and Land stickers, as well as Zelda 1 and 2.
>>2876414
As long as it's licensed it's official.
I actually meant to make this thread not only about art, but also merchandise in general, so that's perfectly fine, even if the art isn't that good.

Here's some real official art, drawn by Yoichi Kotabe.

>official Miyamoto art
The only official art Miyamoto ever did for Mario was in the earlier games up to the boxart for the Famicom Super Mario 1. From Super Mario 2 (the FCD version) and onward, they were done by Yoichi Kotabe.
Super Mario RPG puzzle. Notable for being a rare depiction of the characters in 2D.

That's really nice anon, I love Kotabe's style with these thick, defined outlines. He's a great designer. If you have more please do share!

>The only official art Miyamoto ever did for Mario was in the earlier games up to the boxart for the Famicom Super Mario 1
Precisely why I said I think that looks like Miyamoto art, the picture on the right there looks similar to the SMB1 japanese/european boxart, but I've never seen it before so maybe it's by somebody else imitating that style and not Miyamoto, I'd like to know.
>>2877135
I'd love to get my hands on one of those puzzles.
Here's one of SMW; sadly I couldn't find it on a bigger resolution.
>>2876325
Oh negronimous this is a deliteful thread :3c
>>2877175
Yoichi Kotabe
>>2877175
SMW most certainly Kotabe. Not sure about the SMB3 one.

Mario 3 is LITERALLY 9/11!
>>2877190
another puzzle
This is probably a pretty stupid question but when and why did Mario reverse the colors of his shirt and overalls? He had a blue shirt which became red and red overalls which became blue.
>>2877201
Luigi, what's wrong with your ass?
Mario, why are you taller than Luigi?
>>2877534
The same reason the Alphabet goes A, B but on the NES controller it goes B, A
>>2877534
Someone said, "wait aren't jean overalls blue?"
I still have this book from when I was a kid.

Holy shit Mario and Luigi look creepy as fuck
>>2877860
You ain't seen nothing yet.
DAMN YOU
SHIT
>>2877880
That's hilarious. I'm guessing it's some japanese book.
>>2877869
Is that their dad's photo on the wall?
>>2877895
>>2877880
This looks like it's related to the anime movie.
>>2877880
WHAT THE HELL!
>>2877880
SUCH A MIRACLE YOU GOT!
>>2878190
DEEPEST
LORE
>>2877869
>those eyes
I think I had this as a kid.
>>2877880
GETTCHA HURRY NOW
Oh shit, I think I saw these weird "high detail" amiibo things at the store and one of the Mario figures looked exactly like this. I should pick that up.
>>2884270
Was Mario originally going to have a Cowboy Suit in Mario 3?
