I’m not certain which comic book this came from, because he made some cameos in other Image comic books in the 90s,

I used textured white paper and a black and red fine point sharpie.

Super Mario 3 Missed Christmas

I think Nintendo hoped children would drive their parents nuts and pay $50 for a game after buying several other games for Christmas. That didn’t happen in my case, which is completely fine. I’m sure it didn’t leave any permanent emotional scarring.

Waiting, hoping and begging made for an amazing christmas present the next year. Under the tree was that familiar box shaped like a nintendo game box. Unwrapping Mario 3 was the greatest feeling. Not only was it one of the greatest games at the time, they even made a movie about it’s greatness.

They Made a Super Mario 3 Book Too?

My mother handed us another present that went with the game. A full color, in-depth strategy guide? I didn’t even know that book existed, or that it would provide hours of entertainment when I could not play video games.

I memorized every strategy, I started drawing the levels and eventually creating my own air ship levels.

Well, before I started drawing levels I obviously had to draw the box cover:

We played this game for many years. I recall spending all my free time in 4th grade class drawing air ships anytime I could. I would frequently make cannon noises and other common nintendo sounds while drawing.

To this day, Mario still pulls at my nostalgia strings and I frequently sneak that beautiful, yellow Super Mario 3 box out on a living shelf for my son and I to enjoy.

The problem with free-hand drawing is sometimes you run out of paper and the guy looks like he skipped leg day at the gym. I should have extended the feet beyond the edge of the paper like I still do to this day.
