Onward to the Galaxy by =TheBourgyman on deviantART

author's comments: (Yves B.)
I'm probably not alone when I say I'm really looking forward to the release of Super Mario Galaxy 2. The first one is already a classic.

Total time from sketch to final export: 6 hours.

When did Mario ever die of Drowning or Long Falls? I've played most of the sidescrollers and it never happened in those that I can recall, was that one of the 3d games?

Without looking it up, and just relying on my twenty-five-year-history of playing the titles, a drowning death could be achieved in the original Super Mario Bros., I believe, in one of the two(?) water stages within the game. As you begin the level, you notice that there is a sea portion of the screen, with also, a little bit of sky available at the top. I'm not exactly sure how long Mario could hold his breath, but I always tried to manage 20 seconds under, but no more than 30 before sprinting toward the surface.

A "Long Fall" death - I was just about to describe a Super Mario Land stage, but that correlates to the Tornado death directly above the one in which you are describing. I don't really know about that one - do you think anyone else has a guess?

I don't think you can drown in the original super mario brothers, at least I never surfaced in them. I think drowning was n64.

[edit]

damn now I've got the water stage theme stuck in my head...
