The Switch game Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been a massive hit since its launch, captivating players worldwide with its charming and adorable style. It's a game for all ages, and many fans are already buzzing with anticipation for a new installment on the Switch 2.
Recently, a YouTube channel called 【あつ森カービィcreate［とん］】 dropped a video that instantly went viral! It shows them using the "Custom Designs" feature in Animal Crossing: New Horizons to draw Mario in just one minute! The comment section exploded with praise, with viewers exclaiming, "It's insane how good this is in just one minute!" and "You're a genius in this field!"
The video was posted by YouTube channel 【あつ森カービィcreate［とん］】, who also has a VTuber persona. They regularly upload videos recreating Kirby's world in Animal Crossing, from decorating rooms to island makeovers. Their relaxed and fun presentation style has earned them a loyal fanbase.
This time, the creator challenged herself to draw Mario in one minute using Animal Crossing's Custom Designs! She also playfully lamented failing to win a Switch 2 console in a lottery... so she started drawing pixel art Mario with a mix of anticipation and regret.
She started by sketching the face shape with skin tone, then added ears and sideburns. Next came his iconic red cap, complete with a white circle and red "M" logo in the center. Blue eyes with highlights gave it a stronger 3D effect, and the eyebrows were meticulously filled in.
Then came his round, big nose, and finally, Mario's soul – that thick, bushy mustache! Even with limited pixel space, she managed to create a super expressive Mario!
