Mario May Contest

Hello everyone! That circus event sure was fun, huh? I sure had fun showing off my magical tricks and illusions :sparkles: but with the end of our circus event, it means the end of another month.

So what will May have in store for us? Well, in regards to this month's contest, we wanted to go back to our roots. We give a spotlight to characters throughout this iconic cast, that we sometimes forget to give our flowers to the main man himself. That's right, this month's theme is...

Mario May

That's right, the namesake of our Amino is getting our full focus. It's the one and only Mario! From his 8 bit days to his modern cartoony look in Wonder and beyond, it's time for us to let's-a go and create some Mario masterpieces!
