snake snake snake!

I think I'm turning into a Nintendo fan boy... just by looking at that.

FUN! I love this!

Funny how Link and Mario look better in the pre-SSBB shots

The Mario one needs more Mario RPG ;-)

the zelda one is missing twilight princess

Kirby failed to evolve.

Super Mario 64
Wind Waker Link
Super Mario Kart DK
Zero Suit Samus
Super Nintendo Kirby
Original, first Sonic

Those are the best ones. Discuss.

The Zelda one is messed up. Why have WW Link, but not Smash Toon Link?
and why is Minish cap Link listed before Ocarina/WW Link?

Sweet, thanks!

One Sonic doesn't belong in that picture, can you guess which one?

@Foggynotion:

Lol, Mario Kart DK isn't even DK. It's DK Jr.

:/

Next week: The evolution of Waluigi.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say that while I love the 'cook' being Kirby's final smash, I almost wish they went with the classic 'sing into a microphone' since that dates back to the original GB game.

Then again it may have been too powerful :-D

@MetalGearMax: I always confuse Charlie Sheen and Martin Sheen too, my bad.

Yeah Link is messed up but this chart shows that Samus is always bad.

@Foggynotion: Zero Suit Samus? I guarantee you just made an artist cry.

@JimElNino: indeed!

Also, to me it seems like the Link before the N64 one should be after instead of it's current position :P

I probably played way too much Nintendo games ;)

I love the final evolution of Samus. Screw the respect you've earned girl, take off the clothes!

Kirby is the most frightening character ever created.

HAHA i just played Sonic on the Genesis today and i still got the skills
Why does "Toon" Link look like he is going to stab "Twilight Princess" Link?

That's an awesome picture but I wish it would've been made horizontally instead of vertically so it could be a desktop wallpaper.

It's quite clear each character gets more revealing as time goes on.
Samus gets a skin-tight suit.
Link's hemline goes up several inches.
Donkey Kong is a mixed bag. On one hand, he started off naked, but then he put a shirt on. But then he took it off and only kept the tie.
Kirby. Well, Kirby got more naked-er.
Sonic is quite clearly showing off more ankle.
Mario is now naked. He simply has no genitals, and had the outfit tattooed onto him. He figured "Why not? I wear it all the time anyways."
When questioned, Peach replied, with a blush "Yes, ALL the time."

I am offended that they put Sonic on there. Sonic is a SEGA franchise, and it will always stay that way.

If you're going to put Sonic in there, at least rename the title to Super Smash Brothers Brawl all-stars evolved.

I appreciate that you mentioned that and didn't just name the article "NINTENDO CHARACTERS EVOLVED", Bash.

@Cutedge: Well, the Link used in Brawl is Twilight Princess Link, so there you go.

Wow, the Donkey Kong one gets the shaft. Really Donkey Kong is Cranky Kong, right? And they don't even show him from Donkey Kong 64!

Still kinda cool though... I guess.

The Sonic from Sonic Advance is 4th on the list...that came AFTER Sonic Adventure 1 =\.

This list is so wack.

Why aren't Donkey Kong 64 and Kirby 64 represented on that chart while Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 are?

@Luke Plunkett: Ah, but the Link one contains two brawl pics. Kind of.
@Kirbytheslayer: In-Kirby XMB: You're right. The skin tight Mario is unnecessary,
and wrong.

It's out of order, but still. It's a decent list from somebody off of devianart.

@DigiMish:

I.... o.O ..... really? Upset, over this??

@StopTheOncoming: Yeah the Sonic one could use some work.
They should have used some more Kirby sprites too.
I miss 2D.

and then there's the english voice acting for brawl.

/me walks off laughing

Brawl Mario's hands bother me for some reason. I think it's because his fingers are too long. I'll always be partial to the goofy-ass N64 Mario.

@DigiMish: If this is the sort of thing that offends you, please read the news more and get out of the house. Seriously. There's a whole world waiting to offend you with problems of a much more substantial nature.

(Teen Girl Squad Voice)
"Look at how much we've grown!!!"

I wish they had the pic for Samus in her suit than herelf... it messes up the pattern they have going there.

@TheCleaningGuy: They also missed the 3d Kirbys. This person apparently forgot the Crystal Shards and the original SSB.

@Luke Plunkett: We must agree to disagree there, sire.

I actually meant to typed "sir", but that typo makes you and me both sound a little more badass, so I'll roll with it.

Needs more Fusion Samus.

I love DK's...he evolves from really retarded to mildly retarded

@peAr_nectAr: I'm just saying that for the sake correctness, the title of the pic "Nintendo All-Stars" is WRONG.

It's so amazing to see how Kirby has changed through the years. I'm glad they were put side by side or I wouldn't have been able to make the connections.

@MetalGearMax: @QC8472: Just some more of that "hey, what part of the time line are we in" stuff...

..i swear, nintendo's just doing it to piss off the Zelda fans..lol

I don't like these because they're out of order. And not just Link, either. Blargh.

@Gen16Snes: The ugly one?

Donkey Kong needs his wife beater back.

And in any case, it's not really a fair comparison since the newest characters are promotional art, they don't actually look like that in-game.

@nullterm:

That's a part of his evolution. He went from some dumb ape in a wife beater to a high class tie wearing gentleape.

@Skitzoap: lol exactly, i believe thats as far as he's going to evolve too

Dream Land 3 Kirby is FAT!

@DigiMish: You're wrong DigiMish. The characters in the game look exactly like the pictures. I've been playing the import for over 3 weeks now.

I like how Kirby alternates between a light version and a dark version every iteration.
