Title: Pls help me create a Super Mario theme
Post by: Mario on March 07, 2005, 11:45:41 pm

OK, let me first admit that when it comes to artistic creativity, I'm at a loss.

I have already converted my non-working Captain America cab to a MAME cab (though I still need to get the AVGA card working, but that's for a different board).

I need help in creating a Super Mario-themed cab. I know I can find some artwork online, but I need help in coming up with a cool "look". Even just a starting point.

I was thinking of calling my cab "Super Mario-cade" or something like this. I want to create a marquee, side art, and CP overlay. I prefer the look of Mario from the Super Mario 64 games over the other looks (much more cheerful and colorful than the original SMB). I thought the name "Super Mario-cade" created using the letters from the Super Mario 64 game would look good.

I'd appreciate any idea, tips, or even the fully-developed artwork  ;D

Here's an older pic of my cab if it will help: http://www.dalessio.ws/arcade/CapAmerica.jpg

Thanks!

Thanks, but I really don't want any of the other characters. Neighborhood kids often call me Super Mario (even before they see the games in the basement  ;) ), and I want to stick to the Mario name and character.

Cute.  I came up with this:

SUPER MARIO =
Stationary Unit for Player Entertainment and Recreation, Mame-Assisted,  Retroactive, Interactive, and Operational

I should get back to work now...
