Frame-by-frame captures from Super Mario Bros. Super Show circulate
In 2023, concept art was revealed by Super Mario RPG artist Jiro Mifune where the party was inspired by The Three Musketeers, and included Wario. The posts were soon deleted, but I have restored the images to the best of my ability.

that human toad is actually great-looking
I wonder what they’d have localized Kinopi as. Tod?
We almost had "Tod" Assuming the localizers would know what they were doing.
Based on WarioWare, we can only assume Wario drew himself.
shame the posts were deleted, as a few cool concept reveals tend to be :/
Damn, this concept is actually kinda sick
I didn't know I needed Three Musketeer Wario in my life like this
this makes the theory that booster was originally wario even more believable omg.
THESE ARE SO PEAK AND CUTE
okay but broth and @pidgezero.one is the teamup of the all-time goats
I got emotional looking at this
I'm obsessed with what a little fancy lad Bowser is in this concept
God forbid they do anything interesting and cool with Mario. The current state of Mario, and broader entertainment at large, I refer to as the "Disney bimbofication of Nintendo". Everything lacks depth and is made purely for capitalist purposes.
There are few games that were more impactful on me as a young person. After playing Super Mario RPG obsessively, I then stumbled onto RPGMaker and for several years made epic, story-heavy, boring, unplayable games until I realized the #writing was the only part I liked doing 😆 #gaming 🎮
What the Mushroom Kingdom Hearts is this?
