if you had to make a fifth darkle boss for the fifth floor what would it be
not sure what light-relevant fixture would be used though
Honestly, I would cast egotism and say Myrticia.
Hear me out, her most loyal minion, who’s second highest in the Sour Bunch hierachy, and the only boss other than Grape to be also based on a fruit. She’d probably have magic trick related patterns that Peach would have to figure out before accessing Grape’s door.
I LOVE HIM WITH MY ENTIRE BEING AND NINTENDO DIDNT EVEN GIVE HIM A NAME!!!!
BUT THATS OKEY CAUSE I FOUND SOMEONE ON TWITTER WHO DID AND HIS NAME IS NOW "AMARO BLANCHARD" WHICH MEANS BITTER COLD IN ITALIAN AND FRENCH IN THAT ORDER!!!!
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD IF YOU WANT CAUSE I LOVE AMARO AND I LOVE THAT NAME!!!!!
Just a silly little thing I thought about Ice Skater in Princess Peach: Showtime.
Realized The Sour Bunch and the Heets/Sparklas are based on grapes. "Since grapes are in a bunch, So I decided to look into what types of grapes they are.
Spoilers for Ice Skater, just in case. I might be thinking too much into things, but I got really excited thinking about it.
I like to imagine he's based on the Merlot grape, a type of wine grape. Which is a VERY NICE BLUE... even though it's a red grape.
I looked more into the grape and found out that Merlot is a french name for "Blackbird" essentially.
And I was looking on his helmet and feathers and looks fairly bird like. With the feathers being a dark purple color.
I know birds are often depicted as very prideful and love to show off. Since some birds, like peacocks and peafowls, do show off their feathers to attract potential mates.
HE'S BIRD CODED AND I LOVE IT... I have been calling him Merlot as a result.
Also, little bonus point: The fight with him and Peach gives Swan Lake vibes. Mostly the outfits and how he is both designed, looks, and sounds.
Edit: I JUST REALIZED PEACH'S ICE SKATING DRESS DOES HAVE FEATHERS!!
