Real Mario was creepy. Real creepy. Also apparently a big inspiration for internet photoshoppers, because German art student Marcus Blättermann has taken Pixeloo's premise and applied it to Bowser. Who no longer looks like a bad guy. He just looks like a dinosaur. Or a chicken. Oh, and a turtle too. Whatever, he's not creepy.

I want one for my SELF. That's awesome!
so if that thing was in your room, you wouldn't run or try to kill it?
That one actually looks kinda cool, and it won't haunt my dreams like the Mario one.
Reminds me of Spike from The Land Before Time.
Pretty darn sweet. How about an epic scene of the pair dueling in Bowser's castle? That would rule the internet.
Bowser should see a chiropractor ASAP.
Oh no its same bowser from end of super mario bros. the movie.
He's not even scary.
He looks more "misunderstood" then anything else.
Good effort! Although I think Bowser would be a lot more built and less scrawny. Imagine crossing the above with a generic WWE wrestler build and you'll kind of get near to what I have in mind.
Would like to see real Peach next.
Hmm, imaging a life like, realistic Mario game.
That would be fucked up.
Where are the real Koopa Kids? Real Goombas?
This is where McDonald's meat comes from.
Hmm. The limbs are a tad too long, I think, and Bowser's stance is slightly more upright-the shell is more diagonal 'cuz his legs are shorter, I guess. Still, very cool. I like.
@Dopeski: That would be really nasty! All those mushrooms and turtles. Hitting ur head to a prick wall, nice!
@spaz33: I wonder if people would be too creeped out by it to not even play it... or so intrigued by a life like Mario game to want to play it more? Hmm!
@M:
Wow, never thought about that yet. I sooo second you XD
Man, he needs his mane of red hair! It's not Bowser without red hair.
"He just looks like a dinosaur. Or a chicken."
I hate to get all biologist here, but that's redundant.
@scarshapedstar: Recent research shows that chickens may actually be the decendants of the T-Rex. Not very redundant, really.
Koopa Troopas everywhere can now rejoice and worship their new GOD! In Real Bowser we trust!
Next up: Realistic Birdo????
That's not creepy at all.... The Yoshi from the Mario Bros Movie.... THAT'S CREEPY!!!
Rated M for Mature. It could be great for alternative MARIO by Suda51.
@M: No you don't, look what they did to Mario!
I see a turtle chicken soup with a special edition bowl included.
@Maaxxx: The weird thing is I had the exact same thought. Uuuuuuhhhh. And I was almost done forgetting about that film.
Creepy.
more realistic nintendo characters PLZ.
Yah someone needs to do yoshi next. I am more impressed with the photoshop skills, its just beyond me how he only used the brush tool.
Quick! Someone paste Dennis Hoppers' head onto it!
Umm, I think bowser is supposed to look like a turtle/dinosaur, right? And I don't see the chicken in that picture. If developers brought that thing to life in a game I'm willing to bet it would scare the shit out of Mario.
At second glance, it looks more like a teenage Bowser. Hey! Great idea for the next Mario game: All characters start out as babies and as you progress through the game they grow to be adults!
@Fallible: I think he knew that, hence his comment implying that both of those animals are similar. :)
hes kinda kyute! <3
OMG ITS CLOVERFIELD! RUN!
@ichiban1081: Haaaahahahahaha. Oh man...
.............. what has been seen, cannot be unseen.
i just shit my pants.
It's a...what again? Like turtle dino thing?
@FullTimeGamer: Well there was Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time that had them meeting their infant selves but I guess that isn't the exact premise you're thinking of.
I want to see a Super Mario Galaxy pic like this. Coupled with LCD, this would probably be worse than watching The Neverending Story.
@Fallible: So... wouldn't that make it redundant? Just like he said?
I'm still finding this pretty creepy, admittedly.
Creepy Mario was awesome. This...is just creepy.
^.^ Awww. I want one to wake me up in the mornings.
*BrukaaaAAAAAA!*
"SHUT THE HELL UP BOWSER ITS 5 AM!!"
Not nearly fat enough.
You guys are kidding, right? I'd be walking very quickly in the opposite direction if I saw one of these...
