    Default Super Mario Family Tree Infographic

    Hey!

    I created an infographic that displays the majority of Mario's in-game sprites from 1981-1996 (excluding some ports and games where they obviously used the same sprite).

    Would love to hear the community's thoughts on it! http://www.retronick.com/mario-family-tree-v-1/

    Very cool! You should do one for the Legend Of Zelda series.
    Social Justice Warrior and proud of it!

    Thanks! I was thinking of doing a Sonic the Hedgehog one too.

    Very nice and well laid out. The only thing I might change is the color of the info boxes. I do not like that teal color. I was thinking maybe a soft gold or yellow. That may stand out too much but the teal just isnt the best. Maybe even green.

    Other than that nit-picky suggestion, the thing is bad ass! You did a great job and should be proud!

    I am not an artist, but this is kinda what I was trying to describe to you.

    Thank you! I'm not a huge fan of the teal either. Went with it because it's the same style as the HUD and some of the dialogue boxes from Super Mario Bros. 3. Going to take a different approach with part 2 I think.

    Thanks again!

    That's a good look for them actually. It would mess with the image map on this one, but I'd be willing to give it that sort of treatment for the next one.

    Thanks!

    For some very odd reason, I had not seen the connection between The Wizard and Tommy until now. So, how about that: something new!

    Is there a Youtube video of Mario in NES Tetris? I was not aware of an appearance there.

    I don't see F1 Race GB and Game Boy Tetris, but I guess those count as ports.

    I was going to suggest Wrecking Crew 98, but that would be out of bounds.
