When you decide to exclude Mecha-Chomp from the remake

This is probably the drawing with the most threatening energy I have ever drawn

[weirdmarioenemies]

Name: Mecha-Chomp

Debut: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Alright! Who remembers back in elementary school, seeing those robot dogs in their science textbooks and thinking, “Wow! Soon there are about to be robots in our everyday life and we will be in the future! How cool!” Was that just me? Probably not! There are probably some of you out there!

Even though those robot dogs were really more-or-less just toys, it is a little bit of a bummer that we don’t have robots as a regular part of life right now. Maybe it’s just because I live in Wild and Wonderful West Virginia, but I have never seen an actual robot in my life! I’ve seen robots on the internet! But I can’t just, walk outside and talk to my robotic neighbor, asking him about his plans to overthrow humanity. Isn’t that disappointing?

But at least if you turn on Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, you can see a robot in the form of Mecha-Chomp! This is an enemy probably based on that robotic dog I saw in my science textbook. And also a Chain Chomp! I’ve always loved that Chain Chomps, more or less metal balls with teeth, are what represented “dogs” in the Mario universe, but I do also love this quadrupedal, actually dog-like version. The fact that it’s called Mecha-Chomp implies that regular Chain Chomps are organic! Though then again, there is the Chompworks Galaxy... Hmmmm...

They only appear in battle alongside Laser Snifits, and their LED visor will flash either red for Mario, or green for Luigi. After you damage them enough they’ll malfunction, and it’ll be the other way around! I like to think that they are the Laser Snifit’s pets, except in the remake of the game, there’s no Mecha-Chomps at all... only Mechakoopas.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Mechakoopas a lot, but... that’s one Weird Mario Enemy retconned out of existence, and that makes me a little bit sad...

Betrayal Part 2

(This isn’t “oh he had no idea how to introduce Antasma”

This is “I literally had planned for him to just show up for some reason [which I’ll disclose soon] but decided to scrap it but then changed my mind at last second”)
