13 Nintendo Characters Who Look Completely Different Now

Crushing it for 25+ years now, if Mario isn't this much of a gaming giant, then who is? #RESPECT

Over the years Yoshi has stepped out of Mario's shadow (quite literally) and now he's got his own wooly world!

Link is another amazing example of Nintendo keeping the core design intact while perfecting it over time.

Mr. Earthbound has always been a mild mannered child, but as we all know that baseball bat "melee" is no joke!

Will we ever see a new game featuring these two? Who knows; but if you can own with them on Smash #youdaboss!

Samus Aran is every Ninten-bro's favorite femme fatal, so you know we appreciate all of the graphical updates!

Though his soul belongs to Capcom, Megaman joined the Nintendoverse with Wii U's Smash Bros - Lookin' good!

Still larger than life, the king of all the Koopa's hasn't changed much - but his look has become iconic!

Ryu's not on any next gen Nintendo consoles, but he's a man of honor and will never forget where he came from!

Another one of those every now and then gems of Nintendo, Pit of Kid Icarus has definitely come a long way!

Not to be confused with certain other "pink puffballs", Kirby is the OG and still hasn't aged a day.

Wow, with before and after shots this good, I'm going to need whatever rations Solid Snake is taking, ASAP!

Mario must've know what she was going to grow into, because he sacrificed a lot of lives for Peach! #WorthIt
