Toad's Voice [MARIO Animation]
Who else both loves and hates the MK64 Toad voice clips?!
I came up with the idea of creating a montage of Toad's old voice but also the thought of giving Toad a backstory to how his voice has evolved to today. This was the result! I had a lot of fun coming up with ideas from both older and newer Mario titles. I included a lot of references to mainline Mario and the spinoff series including: Mario RPG, Mario's Story (Paper Mario), as well as the Mario Kart series!
The animation style I was going for was a hybrid between the character designs of the Mario & Luigi series and a blue outline similar to the USA’s Super Mario Bros 2, which was the first game Toad was a major playable character. I also went a bit ham with the backgrounds this time around :)
It was also a difficult, but entertaining process coming up with lyrics for the Bowser's Fury vocals. They sound a lot like random gibberish, which is pretty much what you can hear toad sing, or should I say "scream," most of the time with little sense.
I also ended up making a few different versions of the intro, which includes some of the cut content from the animation. Check it out here: • Toad's Voice: Alternative Montages [MARIO ... !
