I found some pictures on the internets and my imagination took over.  Some time ago I wrote about how games like Beyond Good & Evil and Sonic don’t succeed because their respective franchises didn’t mature with their audience?

Nintendo’s Mario is the exception and not the norm.

What IF Mario went adult?  Not adult doing Dallas but adult Resident Evil…

Meet Bowser.

I would much rather go with the animated look than the realistic for sure.

A gory Mario?  Ever?  Only if the mod scene ever finds the motivation.  I WOULD like to see a scary/bloody/animated platformer.  Will the new Prince of Persia quench my thirst?

I hope so.
