Alternate Costumes

[Fryguy64]

It's time for some short responses...

Shiny Charizard
Yeah, possibly.

Aganhimdorf
Meh... need more convincing.

Green Bowser
No.

Diskun ROB
Colours are wrong.

Dark Falco
Just a bad scan. His feathers are clearly blue, not black.

Nav-Com ROB
Seen it. Unlikely.

Shadow Sonic
You mean the one with the black armbands and slightly darker blue spines? Yeah, I can see Shadow already... </sarcasm>

Blue Ring Zelda
Already accounted for when you mentioned Green Zelda up there

Fair enough on Black Sonic. I find it kinda unlikely that they made a Sonic with a black-ish color scheme and didn't think of Shadow though.

A bit dissapointed you squelched the King Koopa Bowser suggestion. Its been one of my favorite ideas for a while.

Lastly, Diskun comes in more than one color:

Thought I'd throw that aspect out there.

Why would they half-cameo something, though? If they wanted to have a Shadow cameo, they'd do it properly.

[Fryguy64]

Diskun is a particular shade of solid yellow. I'm not going to invoke the limitations of the Famicom colour pallet in reproducing it (especially when reproduced by a third party, as is the case with Janken Disk Shiro).

While Gold ROB is clearly several shades of metallic gold. Not yellow.

The Bowser suggestion had the following problem: You were suggesting that Bowser's vivid green limbs in Super Mario World may have been linked to the slightly green-tinted brown colours of Brown Bowser. The colours of the arms are way off, and the colours of the rest of him aren't even worth mentioning. Hell, Blue Bowser was a more likely match

[Dances in Undergarments]

I'm telling you, Brown/Green/whatever Bowser is GRITTY REALISTIC NEXT GEN Bowser. I'm right. I have to be.

[The Qu]

All right, you bring up a good counterpoint to Diskun. Back to the drawing board with it. Say, there's never been a construction robot in any Nintendo games, have there? OR what about Spyborg from Star Fox 64? Could either of ROB's remaining schemes be from him?

Although I respectfully dissagree with Green Bowser.To me, he doesn't look brownish green- he just looks green. And Bowser had solid green sprites in two different games, with the latter having orange hair as well. That, to me, points towards it. possibly being a cameo It's not definite, but dark green Bowser? Old sprite.

On the other hand, he didn't have a tan belly- although that could be because they couldn't program it to be the same color as his skin- or a brown shell. I've got no counterpoint for the latter, so it could even more likely be a coincidence.

[Fryguy64]

No.

[Spud]

I'm With Underwear on this one.

People's eyes work differently. Fry claims Mario's "Foreman Spike" getup is now black instead of brown, but my eyes are seeing a dark brown.

Yeah, this is probably at the heart of this debate. It's Shiny Lucario all over again.

Also, I just noticed green Bowser's spike bases are brown- just like the SMW Bowser.

EDIT: Could Golden ROB be ROB 64?

Zoom in on the pic and you'll see he's golden. Not bright gold though. He also has yellow highlights.

Could one of Fox's alts be James?

Here are a few things I'd like to say about Marth's costumes.

His default outfit is based on his appearance in Mystery of the Emblem as we all know.

His black and gold costume is based off of Camus the Black Knight who appeared in Fire Emblem 1, 2, 3, BS, and DS.

This is his TCG artwork, but his artwork from Fire Emblem The Complete, is much closer to Marth's costume.

His red costume also has influence from Camus. except this time it's as Sirius the Masked Knight. Sirius has a red clothes in the same style as Marth, however this can only be seen in his artwork, not his sprite. Sadly, I can offer no high-res artwork for this.

Finally, his light blue clothes. These are actually based off of his TCG artwork, not his DS design. The first clue is that his hair colour changes to match that of the TCG art. His clothes also match perfectly. Secondly, it can't be matched off of the DS game because Sakurai hosted an interview with the director of the DS game for Iwata, and states his surprise at seeing Marth's design after working on his Brawl design.

Thanks for the help on the Marth costumes, Leon. You say you can't find any high res art of Sirius... What about low res?

Also, is Light Blue is still his FE3 design, so don't take that out, Fry. It just originates from the cards, IIRC. Something like that.

On side notes, Green Wolf has brown fur, like Bill Grey whom I suggested earlier. It looks grey, but its not.

Also, Blue Wolf (not default) may look like Panther Caruso's look depending on whether you see Panther's as purple or blue.

[The Qu]

This isn't the art you're talking about, is it Leon?

EDIT: Could Sonic's green armbands just be a reference to the Chaos Emeralds? I mean, they are Emeralds.

[Dasher Misire]

I've been looking into the TCG lately, the artwork is from 2001-2006. So It's not exactly FE3. It's post-FE3 with art based on FE3. Those colors are used in FEDS as well, though with that interview information now we know FEDS isn't involved, it's a nod to the TCG.

[The Qu]

I might as well throw this out one last time:

The jackets are almost the same! Green Red's hat is designed to look like his headband, which is already one of Pika's costumes. Furthermore, the Pokemon have green color schemes, which fits in the Brendan being Emerald.
