A famous rumor is that Il Piantismo is based on Marathon Man from TLoZ:OoT. But how much? THAT'S not well-know, I think. Well, somebody has ripped of his model from SMS, so we can finalyl see it. OoTs Marathon Man:  Il Piantismo:  |

Older than Jesus riding a dinosaur. I'd like to see that. Anyways, it's good to finally see under his mask. Awesome pic! |

 Seriously, though. I remember seeing this new posted elsewhere on the web around two to three years ago. |

Hahaha, that's awesome... but one does have to wonder how true it is.
Il Piantissimo was the Tingle of Super Mario Sunshine.
Bleh Ha Haaa!

Wha- You must be crazy Fryguy. That guy doesn't come close to being as sexy as Tingle. I mean, where's the tights?

Older than Jesus riding a dinosaur. As mentioned, the rumor and belief of him being based on Marathon Man is old, however, the confirming picture of him being Marathon Man is utterly new for many. |

Is that picture even real? I'd like to see the source for it.

Well I also found this image floating around too:  Of course if someone made a fake model, they could get pictures from any angle. I found a forum talking about one of those renders from two years ago. While nobody proved it fake, it does seem suspect that it's been floating around for two years and never been verified. |

He posted it on the Talk Page on the MarioWiki's page for Piantissimo. www.mariowiki.com/Talk:Il_PiantissimoThat said, if you look at his main user page... he's got quite a talent for editing 3D images. Though he does claim that's official. The reason Piantissimo's face is so angular is probably because he never does take the hat off in the game, so there was no reason to smooth it out like with the other major character. |

Oh, God. So glad that didn't get into the final game. Stupid Gibbon monkey.
Though I miss the chance of Bully. And what's with the ChuChu and that :3 expression?
