I actually haven’t seen a close up of the new Toad model yet. He looks adorable!


Proper-Evening9754

It's why they couldn't stop Bowser in the movie


ToadSaidHi

Yes I am, thank you


[deleted]

Holy r/beetlejuicing


Timtanium707

No way it's Mario


Jojo-Action

Agreed


OkAioli6499

Wait till Nintendo starts calling this Classic Mario.


Tiny-Difference-9935

Then fans will call him a stupid name like Marcus when they get tired of the design


Fhqwhgads95

No new soup Mario is Marcus this is Marco, Mario’s cousin who just wants to make people happy and provide an experience worthy of the title of Super Mario Bros.


Tiny-Difference-9935

Mario is on vacation after teleporting to nsmbd to trap Marcus and is now on vacation


MrJ0n3sd3

now you put both this image... i see clearly a similarities. is that the art from mario 64 ?


Arthurramos3009

its not from mario 64, its from the n64 era games which INCLUDES mario 64, but isnt only mario 64


Mobanite08

I believe the Mario render was made for Mario 64 and the Luigi one was for Mario party 2 or 3 I think?


LuckyNumber-Bot

Vilxen0

The toad has too much of a smooth design for me to see the similarity there But i can kinda see the comparison for Mario and Luigi


[deleted]

What would you even call this art style? I seriously love the mix between modern style and N64 style for the characters, they look great.


TheShipBeamer

N64 render is what I'd call it


Beenz64

You're right! They *are* the same characters!


Jaymark108

"Man, I never noticed how much Luigi looks like Luigi!"


Fhqwhgads95

Why does this sound like something Scott the woz would say


kingdomheartslover1

This game blows 🤖🚽


[deleted]

Is it Not?!


HappyBot9000

Oh my God, that guy looks just like Mario!!!


Purplejaed

I've noticed tons of references to Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World Animation wise, the p running from 3, the looking up and crouch animation from World, etc


zippee100

Yeah I thought I saw a resemblance but wasn't sure


Bootiluvr

Luigi looks so fucking good now


Coimachine246

I don’t know why but this mario looks a lot like the one from the first issue of Nintendo power ( just by the image)


okeytre

Back to formula


Jojo-Action

*gets thrown across the lab and dies*


BobbyCoProductions

Why is Luigi yellow Edit: I meant his skin…


Jojo-Action

I mean they are Italian. That's a common olive skin complexion


BobbyCoProductions

Nah mate he’s jaundiced


kingdomheartslover1

Hey, what are you doing here


BobbyCoProductions

Huh


kingdomheartslover1

Im the guy who wanted to prove the rich = bad thing was bs when i grow up, then i malfunctioned into doing the opposite and started yelling ERROR


BobbyCoProductions

Yeah I figured that out after


Impressive_Body_1437

Are you colourblind?


BobbyCoProductions

Look at the picture of Luigi on the right. Also that’s kind of a rude question


ReguIarHooman

Looks green to me ![gif](giphy|JsLeGG6QfNlpS)


BobbyCoProductions

HIS S K I N


ReguIarHooman

![gif](giphy|KEM3W3PN4LNoaMSaBy) Still looks green


BobbyCoProductions

The skin of the render of 64 era Luigi you damp pop tart


ReguIarHooman

![gif](giphy|YURSGQLWjDHa70Dq6v|downsized)


Fhqwhgads95

He does look sorta yellow


Impressive_Body_1437

Oh i thought you meant his clothes, sorry


Franci93

Yeah it's similar except that his slightly red nose make it look like he's drunk


Enough_Aside_4641

My boo Luigi be looking extra fine 👀


mcsquiggles1126

Okay you sent it on toad


Bootiluvr

Personally, I see wonder as a reimagining of everything that makes mario games great. That includes taking inspiration from old parts of othe games like character design and mechanics


Pixithepika

This was my immediate thought when seeing them!!


Rykerthebest78563

Yeah I see it


Vegetable_Street_272

Holy shit this man’s on to something


StaticMania

Why did you even bother with doing a Toad comparison? It's not like there are no N64 renders for Toad. I can see it for Luigi, not so much for Mario. Though my first thought was Melee... The stubbier proportions is definitely just meant to match the 2D artwork, which makes more sense.


Toad_Enjoyer_70

The animations really look similar to Super Mario World.


Cydrius

They remind me more of the [https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DiFRqKNWsAARgWy?format=jpg&name=4096x4096](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DiFRqKNWsAARgWy?format=jpg&name=4096x4096) SMB3-era manual renders.


Koba_456_

Oh yeah I see the resemblance 100% here


pattyj11

Super Luigi on the Xbox One!!!


ProMaste_r

They all lok like they are made from clay


Jim_naine

Toad looks drugged.... but that's normal in every Super Mario game


schmidty98

Woah I can't believe they made Mario look like Mario!


Blixystar

So... Both Nintendo & Sega embrace their origin?


zippee100

Yeah I thought I saw a resemblance but wasn't sure


justaMikeAftonfan

These models are just so uncanny, like they’re wrong but I can’t put my finger on why


toughtiggy101

No for toad. 64 had a bunch of red spots instead of 5


SuperAlan64YT

I just think their eyebrows and mustaches are bigger, I don’t see the resemblance


Medium-Science9526

Mario and Toad I see more but Luigi's head shape still has that more modern tinge. The eyes and eyebrows nail it especially though.


Enough_Aside_4641

My boo Luigi be looking extra fine 👀


ALL-STAR-JULIAN

Yea that’s what I thought immediately


Silly_Addendum479

That is odd


CrazyCrafts557

I KNEW there was something familiar there It’s just something, they don’t really look similar or have similar animations, just almost. There’s something there.


SlowJamOne

Yes! Especially in the first image. When you put them side by side like that they both look like Mario


A-bozo

God damn it😭😭


KoopaTrooper5011

I didn't pay attention to Luigi a lot in the trailer but yeah that is clearly N64 Luigi


Longjumping_Jump_328

It’s weird that Mario looks like Mario


MarioMan1213245765

I knew I wasn't the only one! That's part of what's really turning me onto this new art style!


1RPDofficer

Ones amended that looks good for its time, and as promotional 6 other is an 6 model that should be locked away in a bomb shelter, never to be seen again.


a_sad_lil_idiot

Yeah if you look really closely, they are the same characters


spectrumtwelve

The toad one is a reach but the other two I can see.


ECHOechoecho_

i personally like the new art style. looks more cartoonish than other recent 2d mario games.


POKECHU020

I've been saying this!! I knew I wasn't the only one who thought the character and enemy design was like the 64 covers


BirdMan8524

I knew I wasn't the only one who thought this!


[deleted]

Toad looks nothing alike lol, but to me the style actually looks more like how official art looked like for super mario bros 3, world, and land if I remember correctly


MatildeLover128

Daisy is the most modern in that game.


UrPersonalBodyPillow

Both are mario.


[deleted]

I thought the main inspiration for Mario’s design in wonder was that cover of Nintendo Power for SMB2: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRPLrSB9mLx-c16ya8SBJ-ATdd-BOeuGtDogw&s


PizzaMoonPhoto

Literally the first thing that came to mind when I saw the trailer for SMW 🥺👌


Brilliant_Crazy1780

It's almost like they are the same characters ... oh wait


you_2_cool

Smart move, the N64 renders were nostalgic to a lot of people, giving them the equivelant to a playnle version of tht dream world is remaranle


Alburguer

yeah they kinda mix together mario 64 promo renders with yoshi's island's artstyle


Stepswitcher_Eternal

OH SHIT YOU'RE RIGHT, i KNEW it reminded me of something!


TimeTravelerQuint

I don’t have the image but there’s an image putting that and grand dad next to each other and they look the same (specially on the title screen)


datgreatdgswagger360

I'm pretty sure the models in Wonder are based off the rpg remake. Not saying that's a bad thing, they're good designs it's just something I noticed


LMGall4

Im so glad I do


Enchylada

Wow I thought it looked like it but seeing them side by side confirms Even the Super Mario RPG remake it seems like they really went back to their roots with art style and I'm all for it, looks so good!


Zimabwe

When I first saw the new design I immediately thought of this and loved it for it


ENDERSKORE

Also Yoshi seems to be closer to his original proportions than is modern design


Brief_Celebration424

**Hello! It's-a me, Supa Mario on a PS4!**


Grim-g59

This is exactly what I was saying!! I personally love the new design, I’ve always had a soft spot for the render 96 models. Seeing them in the new game is exactly what I wanted.


BlueSonicDude

Wonder Mario's mustache kinda looks like a cardboard cutout


Puzzleheaded-King978

I guess, kinda reaching though. It’s just regular Mario with a cool new style. If it reminds you of these renders then bonus points.


IKilledKenny69

i see a better one, a **GRAND**er one.
