Chapter 2 Page 3
There’s Daniella! Looks like she went to hang out in the palace where it’s safe. Makes sense, doesn’t it? The heroes reunite with their respective ladies before Luigi asks an important, niggling question that the film’s fans have held for years. Could we finally get an answer to one of the film’s greatest mysteries? Check back next week to find out!
The Mysterious Man is revealed! We’re sure by his trademark hairstyle most of you will be able to recognize him. Now, be honest, was anyone really surprised?
Chapter 2 Page 7
Toad continues to play on stage while Luigi and Daisy discuss his return. Looks like Toad does need the suit, although he was willing to take it off just to perform. The page ends with a shadow falling onto Luigi and Daisy. What could be casting it?
Chapter 2 Page 8
Yes, the shadow was cast by Yoshi! Everyone knew it, but it’s still so nice to finally see the little guy back in the story. After twenty years we can’t help but feel like Toad and Yoshi deserved these special re-introductions. The fans demanded it, so we gave it. We hope that you all enjoy Eryk’s take on Yoshi. We went for a very realistic and screen-accurate design, yet within Eryk’s personal style. We’re proud to say that the only change made was the addition of his head/neck ridges, which we feel are appropriate considering Yoshi has aged. It makes sense that he would mature in different ways. Finally, congratulations[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Our first look at Dinohattan! Eryk’s talent with designing and drawing city scenes was one of the main reasons why we chose to work with him. We hope that you all agree that he’s quite good at developing that “Blade Runner” aesthetic. Luigi and Daisy have a conversation about family, which is of course a very important theme in the film. We’ve continued that into the sequel.
Everybody remember this guy? He was seen briefly in the beginning of the film selling “fried Tweeters.” We decided to bring him back because we loved his costume design and felt that he would be a good re-introduction to the Dinohattan setting. Also, as a bit of trivia, they actually filmed an extra scene with his character which would have featured Mario and Luigi attempting to order food from him before realizing how disgusting the offered cuisine is. They had an Allosaurus Rat puppet scurry out from underneath the cart to steal a piece of dropped food.
Some of you might have found it strange for Daisy to order meat on the previous page considering she was stated in the film to be a vegetarian. This is not a continuity error. It is actually a clue towards her arc in this story, which we will hint at more as we go on. Keep an eye out!
Here it is! The final page of chapter two! On this page we introduce one of the greatest changes to Dinohattan since the Mario Bros. left: a central park filled with a tropical garden! Now, the big question is how did all of the flora get there? We all know that the parallel world in the film was dying out, so plantlife doesn’t make a lot of sense. You’ll all just have to read on to find out!
Here we are! Chapter three has officially launched and with it we find ourselves in a completely new setting: Dinohattan’s central park. When we first developed concepts for the sequel the idea of a park was something that immediately struck us as obvious. It would be the perfect way to represent both the development of the film’s universe as well as the themes of the story. It also called-back to the original scripts, which featured a scene of Mario and Luigi becoming lost in such a park. It really made a lot of sense. We hope you like it. This is going to be our best chapter yet. Lots of[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
