Concept Art

It's (still) a me, Mario.

Early Concept Art of Mario holding his hat and Mario cape-like sweater, with both drawings having several damage marks. Acquire ended up detouring when trying to evolve the Mario & Luigi art style while making Brothership have its own unique flair, resulting in a time frame where the game was edgier with a rugged Mario.

Another early concept continuing the idea of a rugged Mario, with this art of him reaching to an unknown light while holding Luigi's hand.
