oh btw i got the second version of the mario and luigi keychain, i think it needs to be 4 inches wide tbh (it's 3.5 here) the new background art looks a lot better though! i think it turned out great. however, the REST of it was too saturated- luckily i only got this one for size comparison. hopefully wherever i order them from when preorders go up they'll look like it's supposed to, like the first one i had made (that one looked very accurate to the raw art). epoxy will still be added, but there wasnt an option for the listing i ordered from and it was also just cheaper to get it without it. overall im really happy with how it turned out and im excited to start selling them when i finally get to it!
Officially licensed 1989 Super Mario Bros. 2 greeting cards that depict Wart as (at least partially) friendly, directly at odds with his characterization in the game, where he is depicted as a purely malevolent entity.
Interestingly, in 1993, Wart would return in The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (under his original Japanese name, Mamu, but officially recognized as the same character) and actually be friendly there, making these cards inadvertently appear prescient of the future of the character.
