So if you don't know, in the Spanish translations of Mario Kart Tour this kart is called Bowsario
I took the screenshot from this adorable post here :) this kart has also appeared in Double Dash as well, and is also the kart in this render of Mario and Bowser. So they were literally sitting in the Bowsario kart together here
This is just me being dumb and emotional towards Mario but I can't help but imagine Mario kart going from friends making a karts tournament from a global event and Mario seeing his love for competition spread to a big loved competition it's silly but it makes me happy imagining Mario seeing a picture of his first kart with eight friends before jumping to the more Professional kart and go to the twenty four people race
An inside joke with my friends, but I wanted to share this doodle still, just because how absurd it would be that somehow Mario is taken away by ONE BEE🐝 🤭
Also, the way Mario pronounces "put" is an inside joke as well, and he says it like "boot" bit with a "p" instead🤭🤭
Marios are very adventurous creatures by nature and showing them new experiences like this is good enrichment, but make sure to hold their hand (as shown here) in large unenclosed spaces like this where they could get hurt otherwise.
finally finished the rocky plush i've been working on!! definitely my most ambitious plushie so far by a long shot. he's slightly weighted so that he sits down comfortably, and his limbs are all jointed so he can freely strike a pose :]
[rambling about the process of putting him together and things that i referenced under the cut!]
the materials i used are a few varieties of linen and printed cotton [though i'd recommend something a bit thicker to anyone making a rocky of their own, because linen frays a lot at the edges if you're cutting it at plushie piece scale], embroidery thread, a stronger thread to hold the jointed limbs together, and a bunch of different buttons i got in a variety pack. he's fully hand-stitched, both internally and on the outside!
i went for the patchworky look with multiple fabric shades because i thought it'd 1. be cute and 2. help hide the imperfections that come from hand-stitching and lack of experience. and it is, and it did! but if you want to make your own rocky you can easily pare down the material list for simplicity and affordability :]
i ended up modifying my pattern beyond the version saved to my computer and then improvising a bunch on top of that, so i can't offer step by step instructions for a spore-style rocky, but i used this pattern by instagram user eyeball1126 as a starting point! i referenced this reupload of the officially released rocky model to get a good look at the different shapes of his limbs and what way they all bend, and copied his markings over from this delightfully thorough breakdown posted by one of the animatronic designers. i tried to roughly match the positions of his coloured patches to screenshots, but since i don't own the movie to scrub for all the reference angles i'd have needed [save me blu ray release] i had to take the L on that front and just greenify him based on artistic instinct lol
all in all rocky took about a week and a couple dozen hours to complete. he was very difficult and time-consuming and not everything went exactly how i wanted, but i had a lotta fun making him and i'm really happy with the outcome! right now he's stationed on my bedside table. spore sleep, rocky watch <3
