Turtles Have Hair In The Mario World

So something people don't realize is turtles are capable of growing hair. Now while one might think it's just what I've dubbed the Boss Shell Creepers that have hair, it's not just them. Bowser and Bowser Junior obviously have hair, and so too do the Koopalings not all of them do. Roy and Wendy like many turtles don't have hair. But what about the other species of turtles like Koopas? That is the claim that turtles as a whole can grow hair.

Well in Super Mario Odyssey when you knock off a Hammer or Fire Brother's headgear you get to see that they have hair.

The Common Koopa also can grow hair as seen in Koopley and Kuzzle. Also, the reason I call them the Common Koopa is because of the following. Koopa Troopas are members of Bowser's army, and not all Koopas of this species let alone in general work for Bowser. Meanwhile simply calling them Koopas can make things confusing when talks about different Koopa species. With all that and the fact this species of Koopas is so common I've dubbed them the Common Koopa.

Anyways back on track. Lakitus are another species of turtles that have hair, and it's pretty common. In fact other members of the species like Lakilester have more obvious hair. I'd also note Morton's hair is like that of a Lakitu.

Now finally to mention the OVA, while non canon it this has many useful parallels to the games. For example, several Koopa Troopas in this animation can be seen having hair. This could indicate from the start all Koopas from the start have had the ability to grow hair.

Some Mario & Luigi doodles in-between projects, based on the Mario OVA. I recently watched the fan-made dub of it with some PALS, and it was such a delight! The amount of effort that went into it to basically create all of the audio from the ground up is crazy... and it's really good too! It captures the cheesieness of old localisations very well, especially with the changes such as the birthday party and the prince being Peach's brother.

I really like the drawings of Mario & Luigi in there... they have a lot of fun expressions and poses (some of them feeling like Looney Tunes drawings, which fits with how they tried to make it more internationally appealing) and they're always slightly bow-legged. This early version of Luigi is really cool too, who's more of an indulgent, gluttonous money lover rather than a coward.

I also like this more mundane version of Mario & Luigi, who aren't estabilished heroes yet and are rather dragged into this whole mess. Hell, Luigi's not even there to rescue anyone! They do this in the new Illumination movie too, but I like this movie way more for it and in general out of principle.

That's also due to the interpretation of what little there was of Mario back then... they crafted this really whimsical and joyous adventure through the Mushroom Kingdom, with two goomba brats that try to manipulate them, flying air crafts, Toads that look more like aliens than anything; these versions of well estabilished Mario elements are almost bizarre from today's perspective, and I'm all for it, since I haven't been interested in new material from the series for a hot bit.
