Super Mario Bros 3 _ NES cover (retrogasm 2018 competition)

Hi guys!
This is a fast 3D character I did for a Facebook competition: #retrogasm2018
The idea was:
1) chose a concept from a game not more recent than the 6th generation
2) re-model that character as it was in the original concept. No re-design allowed.

I chose Mario because, besides being a fan, I always loved this cover and it offered me the opportunity to play with some cartoonish render.
I wanted to see if Marmoset was able to get the job!

Because this is not an animated character and the look was the only thing I care about, I left the mesh being really dirty.
There's a lot of polygons just to improve the roundness of all shapes or avoid shader glitches.

I ended up creating the whole cover, even if the contest was only about the character.
I don't think it is so distracting. either way, the character is the only thing that will be evaluated.

I hope you like it and, as always, feel free to post any comment!
Cheers!
