It’s just his original coloring with the contrast turned up. I’m confused by #6, the aqua-green and pink combo: I like it, but also hate it because it seems super lazy. I really enjoy that Erin picked the “most professional” Bowser and am having trouble arguing with that. If I really had to choose, I’d say he looks the most professional in the grayish hue? Rawr. His menacing turtle-beast appearance is offensive even in pink. I have never liked Bowser, he is super ugs. But a blue-skinned demon turtle? C’mon! Erin #4 I think does the best job of having an imposing color sequence. Fierce even! But like, the villainous fierce. I know he’s a fire Pokémon, but let’s try something zany like silver, or a maybe stripes! Okay, those technically aren’t ridiculously crazy ideas, but compared to Blandy McOneColor over here, they’re pretty wackadoodle.Īs the villain of the series, Bowser should look intimidating. That said, there’s way too many reddish shades going on here. I guess because “I’m going to murder you” ice-blue eyes look good on lavender. I’m kind of mesmerized by lavender Charizard, #6. The latter reminds me of Spike the little dragon from My Little Pony (original)…or I guess the new kind, too. I especially like the blue and the purple/green combo. ErinĬharizard, you smooth, smooth dragon.You look great in any color. I still think #1 best fits the whole fire-breathing dragon thing. The colors in the portraits don’t really match the model, otherwise #5’s model would be my choice. I actually like the gray with red trim best the original all-red blends in with his fur too much, while the gray is toned down but still distinct, which seems like a good goal if you’re a monkey that’s randomly decided to wear clothes. He manages pink a lot better than his “uncle,” but the green has burned holes in my retinas. I can never decide if Diddy Kong is a wannabe jock or hipster, but these color palettes are making me lean towards ironic tragic figure. I don’t like the inconsistency of the color patterns/trim of the hats and tops. Your worst look is the lime green crop top with burgundy hair (agreed with Joey). Erinĭiddy Kong, you look like a super nerd, but it’s ok. As for the clothes themselves, #7 is least punchable and #5 makes me want to get this game so I can beat him up. This sack of monkey has two articles of clothing? Two too many. A fur-and-tie color swap is okay, but why not give him some other accessories? Maybe a Chiquita banana headdress is too cliche, but it would distract from his giant monkey face and give him some dedicated projectile ammo.Įven worse than Donkey Kong. This definitely feels like a missed opportunity to change up his same-‘ol-same-‘ol necktie routine, though. That said, he looks really good in black and I’m beginning to wish it was his default shade. Monkey-hate is one of the few things in life Joey and I agree on, along with the fact that Donkey probably doesn’t deserve a fashion critique. The only colorful primates I’m ok with are those scary mandrills. I realize we’re judging fictional characters here, but I have to draw the line somewhere. Pink hair and…what is that? Light brown? Mustard? It’s not nice. As for his one fashionable accessory, the collar, they’re all surprisingly ok, with the exception of #8. I can accept a pink Charizard, but a pink ape? Yellow? Even worse. Erinĭonkey Kong’s color-changing looks the weirdest out of all of these. Note: I might have to do an Op Ed on green/pink haired characters. Even when given the chance to dye, you shouldn’t use the worst colors for hair/fur. That’s a human privilege! Worst would be a tie between green and pink. I guess Original and black are the most true-to-life. Bowser’s cool though.ĭonkey: That goofy ape expression on his mug makes it hard to choose a winner between his palettes. Captain Falcon because he can’t say “punch” correctly. Charizard because having him means you passed on Squirtle (aka best starter Pokémon). Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong because they’re damned dirty apes. It’s like all my least favorite Nintendo characters in one go. Reference images are credited to a great set of galleries at Super Smash Bros. Up first: a bunch of naked dinosaurs and monkeys, and Captain Falcon.ĭonkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Charizard, Bowser, Captain Falcon There are a crazy number of characters and an even crazier number of costumes (err, palette swaps) in the recently released/upcoming Smash Bros.
