me when the Funny Pink Octopus draws a Funny Pink Octopus 🤯🤯🤯

Hey, look at me!! Posting stuff about the Nintendo Fun House Rewrite I’m doing with @gittyokoppa39 that isn’t outdated!! So Sparkles, right? any NFH fans remember her? If you don’t I understand cuz bro she was literally a goddamn statue in canon that Got Killed LMAO. I love her though so I decided to actually do stuff with her!! If ya wanna read more on her and a bit of the rewrite, my scattered thoughts and yapping is under the cut!! :D

OK SO, she’s still a side character that only appears for an arc or two, but her role is definitely a more notable one than what Tripolar did with her. as much as i dog on Jack’s horrible writing choices I just gotta thank him for setting up her redesign being a Gushen PERFECTLY for me. like an octopus named Sparkles?? with the Seaside Kingdom’s main landmark being the SPARKLE WATER WITH THE MAIN ENEMIES THERE BEING OCTOPUSES LIKE BROOOO that was awesome. Oh yeah another thing, even though this Rewrite is specifically one for strictly the Original Series (Wii U/Switch Era), we’re bringing back a handful of both canon characters and OCs from the Reboots (PC Era) too!! One of those being Kylie Koopa cuz Jack just boiled her down to a Boring Female Love Interest and after finding out her actual personality and role in the M&L games we were just like “dude we were robbed”

If you’re wondering why Sparkles is a detective here, it’s actually because a small storyline we have later on in Rewrite (that’s technically “filler” but not really) is based off Muppets Most Wanted. Yes, the Muppets movie where Kermit gets captured and framed by Constantine and there’s detective shenanigans and stuff. That one. Basically a silly idea of “hey what if there was something like the Interrogation Song but NFH?” that kinda snowballed into “hey what if Kylie was doing detective stuff in an arc?/what if she worked with Sparkles and that’s how we make her relevant?” Obviously you know in this Detective Storyline it’s Junior getting replaced and captured, which is very ironic cuz of the Shadow Mario stuff and also makes sense already in-universe cuz of Fake Bowsers existing from normal enemies with magic! I have more ideas when it comes to that Arc and Sparkles as a whole but I’m gonna save that for the NFH Rewrite masterpost (if that’s the right word) that I’m gonna do eventually :3

Name: Gushen

Debut: Super Mario Odyssey

Time to GUSH about a flapjack octopus! At least, I think it’s a flapjack. It sure is delightfully round cephalopod at least, and rounder still is its orb of water it lives in! How do you think it does that? Psychic powers?... Silk?! Maybe it’s like a reverse diving bell spider!

Like real octopuses, Gushens move by propelling themselves with jets of water, but unlike real octopuses, Gushen does this from the center of its arms, where the beak would normally be! Is this its siphon? Or perhaps it’s just a cartoon octopus with a disgusting fleshy lip mouth, like Hank from Finding Dory? I guess the real mouth could be hidden by the mustache, which I’m just not vibing with, sorry.

Whatever their anatomy is, it sure is fun to Capture and play as Gushen! Having free flight in a 3D platformer is always pretty magical, I think. This, of course, is even better when it’s a mollusk doing the flying.

The Gushens are led by Brigadier Mollusque-Lanceur III, Dauphin of Bubblaine, who earned his position by being the biggest and the most French. He’s slurping up all the kingdom’s precious Sparkle Water through a bendy straw, confirming that this on his face is, in fact, a mouth! I guess the thing on the bottom is the siphon after all. LOOK at those realistic octopus eyes! A splendid touch!

He has quite a grand boss fight, too, which involves chasing him through the entire kingdom as a Gushen, giving it quite a grand scope! The rematch even takes place in a rainstorm, so your water never runs out, letting you achieve TRUE unlimited flight. I just don’t get why he can cover his head in lava. That’s pretty close to the bottom of my list of “things an octopus would do to attack”.

More Odyssey octopus content awaits on our Astro-Lanceur post!
