Something that we're going to persist with as a project is What Should've Been, which is an effort to demonstrate what it'd have been like to feature Syrup into Mario games in place of Waluigi, as has been oft-written about before by us. Sadly we're not hacking geniuses and this'll only be in mocked-up art and videos, but it's better than nothing as far as proving a point goes. Something that I'm curious about though is what should be done about Syrup's design.
On occasion, with my own mock-ups people have brought to my attention that particular aspects to Syrup's design doesn't make chronological sense. For instance, her belt buckle was not a thing until Shake It, yet I included it on that Mario Party 2 image. I was wondering how much that means to people in general and whether there's any sort of sensible preference. Put it this way; Pretty much all of the games we'll covering are pre-Shake It!, and therefore the Black + Purple redesign did not yet exist. However, to my knowledge it's the more often recognised and preferred one, so how much does it matter as far as you guys are concerned?
Let me know if you'd rather see the videos feature her in WL2's Cyan+Yellow getup, or SI!'s Black+Purple one, and also any preferences regarding other design elements, such as the aforementioned belt buckle, or her pants-boots situation. The Purple+Black design has already featured in the Mario Hoops video, but that doesn't necessarily have to dictate the rest. Cheers.
