March 10th, 2026

It’s March 10th, and that means it’s Mario Day again! Today’s update adds a few new Mario pixels to go along with January’s Mario-heavy update.

Custom Sprites – Mario series: a new Mario sprite in his Super Mario Bros. 2 idle stance.

The first update of the year added new sprites of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad, along with a matching Super Mario Bros. 2 player select mode for in the main image generator, but I wanted to add something special today that’d work as background choices in the usual screenstyles (Group, Vs., MvC ending, etc.), and this tribute to Super Mario Bros. World 1-1 seems like the perfect choice.


This is a work-in-progress piece and you may have seen earlier versions of it in things I’ve posted before, but this has a lot of newness in it.


The Kickstarter campaign for Deadly Metropolis, the long-awaited beat-em-up, is on now, and here’s the trailer:


The game is being led by Mr. Din, beat-em-up community legend whose game brawling knowledge and skills have been proven time and time again, and you don’t get a special thanks in Streets of Rage 4 for nothing. He’s done a lot for the community and I hope other fans come through for his project. My pledge is already in there!


Arcade Quartermaster’s new shrines of the month are Guilty Gear XX Reload, Ninja Gaiden III (Playchoice-10), and The Crystal of Kings


Stay turned, there’ll be another small update in March, including another toy section update! Meanwhile, here’s one of those vague teasers I like to do to prove that I’m working on other things.
